Equipment

When collecting loot the most important part is often the equipment. The names of the equipment looted are never ''random. ''There is always a reason for the name of any piece of equipment; from the material to the properties of the equipment. All the pieces of equipment are Items.

Rarity
All the items in the monsters' den games have a rarity. This is particularly important for equipment because it is a show of how good the piece of equipment is (although the a really common piece of equipment can be better than a rare piece due to a much higher level). The levels of rarity are listed below:

 * Legendary (Orange) - Can't be bought, extremely powerful
 * Quest Items (Yellow) - Often not equipment, can't be discarded or sold

Classification of Armour
Armour is an important part of any dungeon crawler. It provides a way to reduce damage to and add different effects to your characters. Light armour gives the least protection but doesn't reduce the speed of characters. Some characters are only strong enough to wear this armour (mage and conjuror).

Medium armour gives more protection than light armour but slightly reduces the speed of characters. Medium armour is a good middle point if you want a character that is fairly quick but well protected.

Heavy armour gives the best protection but reduces the speed of characters by a lot. Only the cleric and warrior are strong enough to wear this armour.

Classification of Weapons
Without weapons the monsters' den games would be nothing. They are essential to let you characters do significant damage. There are some Unique and Legendary weapons that, although similar, do not fit any of these categories. This is because these are special items.

Backhand slot
The backhand slot is used for many different items. They are all listed below.

Cloaks and Quivers
Cloaks and quivers are the only items that are worn on the characters' backs. The cloak gives very low extra armour rating and often has various other effects too. Cloaks can be worn by everyone. The quiver increases quickness by 15 and sometimes had other minor effects. Quivers can only be worn by rangers.
