Citadel: Forged With Fire – Items: Rarity, Durability, Carry Capacity
Citadel has many weapons, armors, and items that can be looted from chests and defeated enemies or crafted with the world’s natural resources. All items have a rarity rating, level requirement, durability, and weight, all of which can be conveniently found in its item description. Read below for more info on each of these considerations.
Rarity Ratings & Level Requirements
Citadel’s items pass through a loot generation system, meaning there can be some randomized variance between items of similar types. For example, one Staff of The Forest will not necessarily have the same stats as another.
Items of higher quality will be designated by their Rarity Rating. Items can be Common, Uncommon, Rare, or Epic. Each tier is more likely to have better damage/armor while also providing additional bonuses to health, mana, and a variety of other character stats.
All weapons and armor also have a level requirement, which will also affect its stats. Higher-level weapons will have a higher damage/armor rating and better buff values depending on their rarity.
Item Durability
All weapons and armor have a durability rating, which will degrade slightly every time you die while they are equipped. Additionally, weapons degrade each time they launch a basic melee attack instead of casting a spell.
An item will break once it reaches durability of 0 and will be returned to your inventory. Broken items are highlighted red and cannot be re-equipped until they are repaired. To do so, build a Repair Bench in your castle and use it to restore the broken item to working condition.
Weapons and armor of better rarity and level requirement commonly have higher maximum durability and are prone to breaking less often. Keep looting and crafting better weapons and armor to reduce the amount of time you spend repairing them!
Item Weight
An important character stat to keep in mind while exploring and collecting resources, weapons, and armor is Carrying Capacity. Every item has a weight stat, which can be seen in an item’s description panel. The total weight of the items in your inventory cannot exceed your carrying capacity.
As you level up, you’ll be able to use unlocked Character Points to increase your maximum carry capacity.
