Guide for SERAPH's New Beginners (8) : Equipment

▶ Base Abilities
These are the properties set when an item is obtained, which remain unchanged even if the equipment undergoes processing. The higher the item level, the more likely it is to have better abilities.



▶ Equipment Quality (Item Grade) and Affixes
In Seraph, there are four types of equipment quality, with the number of affixes that can be obtained varying according to the item's level.



▶ Affixes are divided into prefixes and suffixes. Depending on the item level, the maximum number of affixes that can be added is as follows:



① Common and Unique quality equipment consist only of Base Stats and cannot have their affixes added or removed.
② Common quality equipment will definitely not have affixes, whereas Unique quality equipment can have up to 7 affixes.

▶ Unable to Repaired : When general equipment durability is consumed, it can be repaired at a blacksmith NPC. But If there is a message, it cannot be used when durability is consumed.
▶ Item Binding Status
Even items of the same type can differ based on their binding status, categorized into character-bound, account-bound, and tradable items.







▶ Equipment quality modification can increase the number of affixes based on the equipment's quality, adding one affix and thereby adding one attribute entry to the equipment.
▶ Even after modifying equipment quality, the equipment’s “Base Attributes” will not change.



▶ After a quality transformation, for example, from Magic to Rare, the prefixes and suffixes obtained when the equipment was Magic will not change, each increasing by 2 entries.
※ There is a certain probability that the affixes could end up being empty.
※ The amount of materials required varies depending on the item level. If the item level exceeds 60, a certain amount of soul crystals will also be required.







▶ Affix-related gameplay options include the following 7 types, which can be selected from the options on the right after inserting the equipment.
Choosing different gameplay options requires different materials:



▶ Once the equipment is placed, the required materials and their quantities will be automatically displayed. Material items can also be used in different binding states.
▶ Clicking this button will show the possible attribute types and their probabilities.



▶ Clicking this button will provide detailed value ranges and their probabilities.







▶ Materials related to equipment can be obtained through equipment disassembly, the quantity required varies depending on the item level.
▶ For equipment levels exceeding 60, a certain amount of Soul Crystals is also required.









▶ Equipment dismantling can be carried out by the Blacksmith NPC.

▶ When dismantling equipment, the materials obtained vary depending on the quality of the equipment, including guaranteed materials and materials obtained by chance.





▶ Choose equipment with attributes that increase skill levels!
If relying solely on skill points, each skill can only reach up to level 20.
However, if you have equipment with attributes that boost skill levels, then these skills can be further enhanced.



▶ Look for equipment with life or mana regeneration attributes!
During intense combat, it's easy to forget to drink potions, and your character could be killed by monsters as a result. Some equipment attributes allow you to recover some health or mana when killing or hitting monsters. If you fight with equipment that has these attributes, you can focus more on monster farming.




▶ Although attack power itself is important, choosing equipment with attributes that increase overall speed from the start to the end of an attack, like attack speed, cast speed, and fast hit recovery, is better!
Equipment with high attack power is a good foundation, but items that may have slightly lower attack power but enhance the detailed attack process, like attack speed, cast speed, and fast hit recovery, could be more beneficial.

▶ Don't forget to allocate skill points to skills with synergy bonuses!
Investing in certain skills can enhance related skills. So, some skills may not be used directly, but assigning skill points to them can bring numerical improvements to commonly used skills.
For example, enhancing the Barbarian's "Quick Throw" skill will also increase the damage of the "Whirlwind Axe" and "Storm Throw" skills.



▶ A distinction of SERAPH from other MMORPG games is that, compared to the numeric values of equipment, the skills and the attribute entries of equipment are more important.

Players can decide which types of skills to develop based on their habits and the items they have acquired, creating gameplay routes that align with their own gaming preferences.

Additionally, SERAPH will adopt a seasonal operation mode. The SERAPH development team will continuously work on various aspects such as game balance, listen to the players' opinions, and co-create the future with the players.
