Runes of Magic: Item System in Runes of Magic

StraddenStradden Managing EditorMember CommonPosts: 6,696

The folks from Runes of magic have provided us with this great new Dev Journal on the Item System in the upcoming Free2Play MMORPG.

Besides a solid training, adventurers need to be well equipped to survive in Taborea. Most important are adequate clothes and a good weapon to be prepared for the dangers of the game world of Runes of Magic. But of course the different classes of the ambitious fantasy online role-playing game 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 in contrast have trust in the powers of their mind while in battle and use staffs and wands. In contrast they take great pride in their appearance and are well groomed because glorious robes are very popular. Besides such important equipment it’s the potions, resources for the crafting skills and diverse fighting goods which fill the backpacks in Runes of Magic. Some Items are important for quests while others are exhausted after a single use or give the player a benefit for a longer time.

    Hmm yeah I wonder, the official RoM website is saying that MMORPG.com has keys to give away but I can't find it anywhere on here.

    Is it just me, or does part of that article seem a little... redundant when you consider people (even the ones WoW dragged into the genre) should already know stuff like that?

    I know the closed beta has already started.  I registered for it, but haven't been accepted.  The wait is killling me on this one, and yeah.....do wonder where those beta keys are.

    Also....the other poster is right.  That wasn't the best article I've seen on this game.  All pretty standard fare if you've ever played an MMO.  However....it was well-writtne, so the guest writer did a good job.

    I've had my eye on this, Spellborn, and Aion ALL for a while.

    Looking forward to it.
