Equipment Ranks
Every piece of equipment belongs to a rank that determines the character level required to equip it. Higher ranks have better base stats. The rank system spans from Rank I to Rank VII, with Master Class gear for the highest-level characters.
| Rank | Character Level Range |
|---|---|
| Rank I | 1 – 19 |
| Rank II | 20 – 49 |
| Rank III | 50 – 79 |
| Rank IV | 80 – 99 |
| Rank V | 100 – 119 |
| Rank VI | 120 – 149 |
| Rank VII | 150+ |
Job Restrictions
Not all equipment can be worn by all character types. Armor comes in four classes with different physical defense values. Warriors can wear the heaviest armor (~72% P.Def), Hunters wear medium armor (~57% P.Def), Summoners wear lighter armor (~43% P.Def), and Mages wear the lightest (~28% P.Def).
Blacksmith Upgrades
Blacksmiths in towns can upgrade weapons and armor up to level 10, increasing their base stats. Rank I items can only be upgraded to level 5. Upgrading costs Rupees and may require special materials at higher levels.
Soul Stones
Many pieces of equipment have sockets for Soul Stones. Inserting a Soul Stone into a socket boosts one or more stats. Two-handed weapons typically have 4 socket slots; most other gear has 2. Soul Stone charges deplete with use and must be recharged at a Soulcrafter NPC using Lak.
