Equipment

From Elona Wiki

Equipment types include weapons and armors, and can be equipped using the wear menu (default key w). Additional equipment slots can be created by having the mutant racial feat, or gene splicing (pets only). Most equipment is randomly generated and can have a wide variety of attributes.

[edit] Wearable Equipment Materials

Each piece of wearable equipment has a material type. The type of material affects the equipments statistics.

[edit] Changing Materials

If the item is not a Miracle or Godly quality artifact the material can be changed by using scrolls of change material or scrolls of inferior/superior material. Scrolls of superior material have a very good chance of giving better results, but sometimes result in raw items. If the item is a randomly generated Miracle or Godly quality artifact, the material type can be changed using scrolls or very rare material kits respectively. A non randomly generated artifact will be re-rolled with slightly different stats should you attempt to do so. If the item is precious in its description its material cannot be changed and attempting to do so will use up the scroll or kit and require re-researching the item.

If an item's material is either intrinsically fireproof or acidproof and you change the material there is a very good chance the new material will retain those properties. The table below attempts to list only the intrinsic properties for each material.

[edit] Material Types

In the following table defense and damage are all relative to the steel material. There will always be a slight random factor in these statistics every time the item's material changes. Since the increases seem to be mostly percentage based, if an armor has a low base DV, for instance, then even a large increase will still be a low number, possibly even 0.

In addition, many types of material have a sub-material which carries the same types of bonuses and penalties at a different degree. For example, a Raw armor may have [-1,-3], while the rarer Candy material may give it [-4,-11].
