Learn About Revelation Online's Gear

It's time to learn about Revelation Online's gear: restrictions, progression, and how you'll earn the best equipment in the game, thanks to the latest post on the Revelation Online website.

Gear is class restricted. So, Swordmages wear cloth whereas Vanguards will be donning plate armor—nothing new that way. And weapon restrictions apply as well: only Gunslingers can peer down through the scope of a sniper. Makes sense right?

Purple is not even featured in Revelation Online's gear progression. Instead gear starts at gray, then green, blue, violet, and finally gold:

Green items are from killing monsters in the open world and in dungeons. Blue items are earned from completing certain quests. Violet items are earned in dungeons or by killing bosses in the open world. They can also be purchased for city reputation, honor points and Order of Guardians' reputation points.

You'll earn honor points either through PvP or by increasing your reputation with the Order of the Guardians, which can be exchanged for gold gears. But the most powerful golden gear will be crafted:

As the gold items created are the most powerful in the game and improving items provides more opportunities to perfect them, the items obtained in raids are not an end in themselves. Often violet items and lower quality items are used as resources required to upgrade gold items.

Every item has 5 basic stats that should be familiar: intellect, energy, agility, strength, and stamina, but there are also secondary stats (33 of them, such as critical damage or chance to dodge). And players can obtain resources to boost to distinguish their character. Or they'll have to unlock some secondary stats by fulfilling special parameters, e.g. awakening an item.

And when you create items they'll be imbued with a random assortment of stats. Players will be able to spend resources to alter those stats to fit their character.
