Item - The world of helpful things

Besides a solid training, adventurers also need to be well equipped. The most important thing is adequate clothes and a good weapon to be prepared for the dangers of Taborea. But of course the different classes have individual requirements and possibilities.

Warriors and Knights equip themselves with heavy metal armor and can choose from heavy weapons and two handed swords and axes. Scouts and Rouges prefer more flexible leather armor suits or light robes and long-range weapons like bows or throwing weapons and lighter close combat weapons. Mages and Priests however have trust in the powers of their mind while in battle and use staffs and wands. They take great pride in their appearance and are well groomed because glorious robes are very popular.

Armor and weapons are not the only important items for adventurers in Runes of Magic. Potions, resources for the various crafting skills and diverse fighting goods which fill the backpacks in Runes of Magic are equally important. Some items are important for quests while others are exhausted after a single use or give a benefit for a certain period of time.

There are many different types of clothes and equipment to cover adventurers from head to toe. In the cloakroom there are lined jackets, light stuffed shoes, leather armor, hoods, silk robes, armor gloves, feathered hunting hats, belts and many more goods. Real heroes can also equip themselves with countless different types of armor from the four categories; cloth, leather, chain ring and metal ring. Everybody should find something that fits them. But when it comes to the choice of armor it’s not all about fashion. While heavy plate armor offers good protection against physical attacks it’s easier to avoid magical attacks with lighter robes. Again and again there are armor sets which are not only optically harmonized but also award much more bonuses the more parts of that armor set you are wearing. In Runes of Magic players can customize and change the coloring according to their own wishes. Therefore every character has the possibility to impress the population of Taborea through their clothing and equipment.

The shelves of the arms dealers are well stocked. From simple clubs to handy daggers and elegant long swords made of glimmering steel to massive two handed war axes. There is a very large selection of close combat weapons. The smaller and lighter the weapon is, the faster it is to control. Two handed weapons are slower but are able to deal much more damage to the target. Long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows are the weapon of choice for scouts while rouges use throwing weapons. But both classes have to make sure to carry along a sufficient supply of projectiles with them. Many weapons cannot be used by all classes. Especially mages and priests, as they don’t have the constitution to wear such heavy metal gear across the game world.
