A core aspect of the game is finding and collecting items that will enhance your character in various ways. There is plenty of loot to collect in the Realm, and plenty of monsters to take it from. Naturally, more desirable loot comes from increasingly difficult areas of the game, but everything can be utilized in one way or another.
The primary form of loot is equipment, items that can go into either your weapon, ability, armor, or ring slot. The most basic form of these are tiered drops. Tiered items have a number assigned to them that indicates how strong they are, relative to the other tiered items within their class. A T6 weapon is stronger than a T5 weapon, a T9 armor is stronger than a T8 armor, and so on.
Weapons have 13 tiers (14 counting T0 starting equipment), abilities have 6 tiers (7 counting T0 starting equipment), armors have 14 tiers, and rings have 6 tiers (7 counting the unique T0 Ring of Minor Defense).
There are other types of equipment as well. Untiered drops are special items that break from the standard tier progression. They typically only drop from a single monster, such as a dungeon boss. Rather than being a direct tier upgrade, UT items usually fulfill a more specialized purpose. Certain UTs are weak, but others are among the most highly desired items in the game.
Reskinned equipment is a type of item that is functionally identical to a different tiered or untiered item, but with aesthetic differences. These are often released for limited periods during seasonal events.
