Armor

Characters begin with a default set of armor but can collect new armors through crafting, purchasing, trading, winning events, and more.

🧵 Custom Designs:
You may draw or describe your character’s equipment differently from the official art! Your redesign must still match the original type and materials. For example:

The Old Shirt can look like any basic outfit.
The Stealth Set, however, cannot be depicted as full plate armour.

📌 Important Rules:

Only one piece of armor can be equipped per slot: Head, Torso, Legs.
If the Materials field says #N/A, it means the item cannot be crafted and must be acquired another way.

Weapons

Every character starts with a weapon, but can gain more through crafting, purchasing, trading, or prizes.

🎨 Design Freedom:
You may draw or describe your weapon differently - so long as it stays the same weapon type and uses the same materials.

A Wooden Ladle can become a wooden rolling pin, but
A Traveler’s Sword can’t be turned into a long-handled axe.

📌 Weapon Loadout Rules:
Characters may equip one of the following:

A one-handed weapon and a shield,
A two-handed weapon,
Or a bow.

🏹 Arrows:

Characters with a bow get infinite standard arrows by default.
Only specialty arrows are craftable.

Gear Overview

🛠️ How Gear Works

Your character’s gear directly impacts combat through two core stats:

🗡️ Attack: From weapons. Boosts your damage.
🛡️ Defense: From armor and shields. Reduces incoming damage.

Each item’s effect is based on its modifierHearts value.

🎽 Gear Slots

Characters can equip gear in the following slots:

🎩 Head Armor: Helmets, hoods
👕 Chest Armor: Tunics, chestpieces
👖 Leg Armor: Pants, leggings
🗡️ Weapon: Swords, axes, bows, etc.
🛡️ Shield: Shields, bucklers

⚔️ Combat Impact

🔁 Regular Combat (e.g., Looting, Travel)

Gear applies randomly with a success chance:

Weapon: Attack × 10% chance → Bonus = Attack × 10
Armor/Shield: Defense × 2% chance → Bonus = Defense × 2

🧪 Example:

3 Attack → 30% chance of +30 bonus

2 Defense → 4% chance of +4 bonus

🛡️ Raid Combat (Boss Fights)

Gear bonuses are guaranteed:

Weapon: Always adds Attack × 2.5
Armor/Shield: Always adds Defense × 1.1

🧪 Example:

3 Attack → +7.5 bonus

2 Defense → +2.2 bonus

🎁 Looting System

Your gear directly affects the quality of loot drops:

Higher gear stats = better rolls
Better rolls = stronger loot
Gear directly boosts your loot success rate during monster encounters

🧱 Raid System

Gear is critical in raids:

Guaranteed combat bonuses
More Attack = more damage
More Defense = better survival
Higher team damage = better group rewards

🔑 Key Differences Between Combat Types

Regular Combat

Gear effects are chance-based
Bonuses apply only if your gear "triggers"
Lower stakes, but still gear-reliant

Raid Combat

Gear effects are always active
No random chance — stats always help
Higher stakes, with guaranteed rewards for good gear

How to Equip Gear

Use /gear to manage your equipment. You can view, equip, or unequip items for your character.

📍 Use this command in the #sheikah-slate channel.

🔹 Basic Usage

/gear charactername:[your character's name] type:[slot] itemname:[optional] status:[equip/unequip]

charactername: The name of your character (autocomplete supported)
type: The gear slot you're interacting with — choose from: head, chest, legs, weapon, or shield
itemname: The item you want to equip (only required when equipping)
status: Choose "equip" to put on gear or "unequip" to remove it

🔹 Slot Requirements

Each gear slot can only accept specific types of items:

Head: Only accepts armor tagged for the head
Chest: Only accepts armor tagged for the chest
Legs: Only accepts armor tagged for the legs
Weapon: Must be an item categorized as a weapon (like 1h, 2h, or bows)
Shield: Must be an item categorized or subtyped as a shield

💡 Incompatibility Rules

Some gear types conflict with each other:

You cannot equip a two-handed weapon and a shield at the same time
Equipping a 2h weapon will automatically unequip your shield, and vice versa
Trying to equip a shield while using a 2h weapon will also unequip your weapon
