Advanced Gear System
The new Phantasia gear system allows characters to equip specialized equipment that directly enhances their combat abilities. Characters can equip three pieces of gear at once: a weapon, armor, and an accessory. Gear is character-bound and automatically upgrades your current slots when found.
Gear Types and Bonuses
- Weapon: Each tier adds 2% to your Strength stat. Weapons increase your melee and combat damage output.
- Armor: Each tier adds 2% to your Shield stat. Armor provides better defense against incoming damage.
- Accessory: Each tier adds 2% to your Speed stat. Accessories improve your overall quickness in combat.
Gear Tiers and Progression
Gear comes in five tiers. When you discover new equipment:
- If the slot is empty, the equipment fills it automatically.
- If the slot already contains equipment, the new item upgrades your slot if it's of a higher tier.
- Gear tiers are determined by monster encounters and difficulty circles.
Viewing Your Equipped Gear

Deeds and Equipment Bonuses
Several account-wide deeds provide permanent bonuses to equipment find rates:
- Champion-Breaker: +5% per tier for defeating champions
- Keeper of the Lost Age: +5% gear finds when collecting relics
These bonuses stack with realm events and seasonal effects, allowing skilled players to accumulate powerful gear over time.
Traditional Equipment
In addition to the new gear system, characters still collect traditional equipment:
- Shield: Increases maximum energy. Protects against damage.
- Sword: Increases damage in melee and skirmish attacks.
- Quicksilver: Increases quickness based on the square root of the amount carried.
- Mana: Currency for casting spells.
- Gold: Currency for trading at posts. Carrying excess gold slows you down.
- Gems: Worth 1000 gold each, but only weigh half as much as coins.
