Equipment and rarity
Where each piece drops, what each rarity means and how to make gear stronger.
Slots and level
A character wears 11 pieces: Amulet, Hat, Backpack, Weapon, Armor, Shield, Ring, Legs, Bait, Boots, Pet. Each item has a minimum level to equip. The Backpack's size is the sum of the bags worn by every character, in the crew or in port.
Where it drops
- The boss of each hunt drops the best weapons its level reaches: the other two weapon types at 20% and the hunt's own type, rarer, at 5%. Rotating between hunt types is faster than staying in one.
- Armor and accessories at 12.5%, by hunt type: Net: Hat, Armor, Shield; Water gun: Legs, Boots, Ring; Moss gun: Backpack, Amulet, Bait.
- Common monsters drop the same list with the chance ÷ 70 (a round has about that many monsters per boss).
- Spell items: each one drops from a single boss, at 1%.
- Top hunts (level 720 and up) drop the best items ×1.5 more often.
The Cyclopedia in this wiki lists where every item drops, with the exact chances.
Rarity
Every piece that drops rolls a rarity. The item's base bonus is always the same; each rarity above Common adds random extra attributes (never repeated), each worth from 1 point up to the rarity's cap.
| Rarity | Extras | Points per extra | Max upgrade | Base chance | Sale price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 0 | — | — | 61.6% | ×1 |
| Uncommon | 1 | 1–4 | +2 | 28% | ×1.5 |
| Rare | 2 | 1–6 | +4 | 10% | ×2.5 |
| Epic | 3 | 1–8 | +6 | 0.3% | ×4 |
| Legendary | 4 | 1–10 | +8 | 0.1% | ×7 |
| Mythic | 5 | 1–12 | +10 | 0% | ×12 |
Monsters drop up to Epic; hunt bosses up to Legendary; Mythic only comes from the daily bosses.
Epic and above are more common in low hunts, where pieces are weak: their weight is ×2 at level 1, falling in a straight line to ×0.5 at level 800.
Extra attributes
Extras come from this list: damage, critical chance, critical damage, lifesteal, hit chance, attack speed, max life, regeneration, protection, block, fire, toxic, ice and death resistance, movement speed, experience and loot chance.
Upgrades (+N)
Each +1 adds 5% of the item's base attributes (and of the weapon's damage). Common pieces cannot be upgraded; the cap grows with rarity. Upgrades use the Forge Pearl.
