Content Guidelines
Equipment quality should vary based on the following:
- Equipment that is Attuned/Bonded or only usable by the character that obtained it should be better than equipment that can be freely given and used across characters.
- Equipment that comes from difficult quests - those that require groups or have very challenging creatures - should be better than equipment that comes from easier quests
- Equipment that has a high degree of randomness to obtain it should be better than equipment that is easily obtained.
Armor
Armor can be broken into 3 major categories:
- Standard armor - average armor level, enchantable
- Hollow Proof armor - high armor level, usually unenchantable, self buffing (covenant armor, olthoi armor)
- Mage armor - low armor level, usually enchantable, and usually includes an enchantment that greatly improves AL (Heiromancer's armor, Perfect Light set, quest robes)
