Equipment
In the Forge, you can craft equipment for your Hero and Shamans, upgrade some pieces of equipment, and combine materials to improve their quality. Equipment provides bonuses to important military and economic stats. Upgrading the Forge increases the speed at which equipment is crafted.
Hero's and Shamans' equipment falls into the following categories:
- Helmets
- Armor
- Weapons
- Boots
- Amulets
Equipment is also divided into six types:
- Simple
- Usual
- Unusual
- Rare
- Epic
- Legendary
Moreover, there are several kinds of equipment:
- Standard equipment
- Invaders' equipment
- Special equipment
- Shamans' equipment
Let's compare the Battle Axe, Sharp Poleaxe, and Ragnar's Axe.
These pieces of equipment are of different kinds:
- The Battle Axe falls into the standard equipment category
- The Sharp Poleaxe is an example of Invaders' equipment
- Ragnar's Axe is a piece of special equipment
They have one bonus in common: they all increase the offense of melee warriors. A Legendary Battle Axe increases this stat by 2.2%, a Legendary Sharp Poleaxe — by 28%, and a Legendary Ragnar's Axe — by 32%. The other bonuses from Ragnar's Axe also strengthen melee troops, while the corresponding standard and Invaders' pieces of equipment have mixed bonuses.
You can craft equipment from materials and other pieces of equipment that you have. Read about how to obtain and combine materials in the Materials section.
