The stuff that heroes carry to protect themselves and fight off monsters.
Humans can equip weapons, off-hand items, armor, and augments. If a human loses limbs or undergoes some transformation, some of these items may not be equipped.
Gear cannot be transferred or traded among heroes. Wildermyth does not intend for players to spend time managing inventory.
Armor
Main article: Armor
Armor is the hero's base set of clothing and provides the main protection against monsters. Armor is colored by a hero's primary and secondary "favorite" colors. Heroes start off as farmers, with the clothes to match. When a hero gains a class, they upgrade their clothes to something a little nicer and more class-specific, but still pretty basic clothing. Within each class, the next level up has one branch of armor that will generally favor movement and one that will favor protection. Each branch currently has two tiers, with the possibility for special unique sets of armor remaining open.
Augments
Main article: Augments
See Augments for a list of unique and/or named weapons.
Augments are extra bits and pieces that heroes can wear on top of their armor. They provide the ability to further customize a hero's strengths and role in combat, as well as some more visual variation. maybe a hero wears a magic crystal on a chain around her neck, or the skulls of minotaurs on his shoulders. Augments are also colored by the hero's primary and secondary colors.
The example above shows two different full augment 'sets," but augments are gained and lost individually, and a hero is not locked into any particular style of augment. Mixing and matching is part of the fun!
The current augment "slots" are: belt, bracelets, broach, cloak, necklace, pauldrons, ring, sash, scarf, chest strap, and kneepads
| Augment Slot | Description |
|---|---|
| Belt | Worn around the waist |
| Bracelet | One or Both wrists |
| Brooch | Pinned to the shirt |
| Cloak | On the Shoulders and down the back, behind. |
| Knee | Covers the knees. Knee pads? |
| Necklace | Around the neck, on top of armor. |
| Pauldron | On the shoulders, on top of armor. |
| Ring | On one hand. Can only equip one ring. Ask me to tell you the story of how Grobar the One-Handed got his nickname. |
| Sash | Around the waist, above armor, below belt probably. |
| Scarf | Around the neck, below necklace. |
| Strap | Across the chest, above armor. |
| Talisman | Hung from the belt, on top. |
How Augments are Generated
Oh my goodness. The current design allows for a large variety of augments, which have moderately powerful effects, which are tied to particular biomes. This design is in need of updating, but the general approach of having several "sets" of augments which give bonuses under particular conditions is likely to endure.
Special or one-off augments
Some story events call for particular augments with particular abilities. These will eventually be unlockables: Once you have acquired them via some story, they enter the pool of augments that can show up in future games.
Weapons
Main article: Weapons
Not going to get very far fighting monsters without weapons, are you? Our farmers start off with whatever weapons they can scrounge up—hammers, pitchforks, etc. But soon, they'll discover and create much better ones.
Weapons come in four tiers. Tier 0 is the makeshift weapons of the farmers. Tier 1 weapons are your rusty sword, your standard hunting bow, and a nice stick for a wand. Tier 3 starts to get way more fun/ridiculous, including maces made from fallen stars and staves with glowing orbs and curling antlers.
Off-Hand Items
Main article: Off-Hand
These are, as you might guess, items that a hero can hold in the hand that's not currently holding a weapon. Off-Hand items include but are not by any means limited to: lanterns, orbs, books, scrolls, or torches. These items may be necessary for a specific quest, may give a hero additional abilities, or may simply give a passive combat bonus.
Equipment droprate
Weights: weapon = 0.3, armor = 0.31, augment = 0.4, offhand = 0.1
For securing, there's a 10% chance of getting a weapon/armor/offhand/augment (plus a 100% chance of getting an augment if you chose the long option)
For missions, there's a 35% chance of getting weapon/armor/offhand,
and then a 50% chance of getting an augment/offhand (and if both of those fail, it'll give you a weapon/armor/offhand/augment)
Artifact vs non-artifact is determined after it knows you're getting a weapon.
Every time you get a non-artifact weapon, the chance increases by 0.15.
Every time you get an artifact, the chance decreases by 0.5. (So, you're guaranteed an artifact at least every 7 weapons)
