Glossary

What the words on item and monster pages mean.

The game words the wiki uses, each in a few plain sentences. A word underlined with dots on any page links here.

+level

The number after an item's name (+0 to +13). Each +level adds damage or defense and raises what you need to wear it. Jewels of Bless and Soul take an item to +9; the Chaos Machine takes it on to +13. More

Excellent item

A rare copy of a weapon, armour piece, ring or pendant with one or more extra lines in green, such as "Max HP +4%" or "Excellent damage chance +10%". It needs a little more to wear than a plain copy. It drops far more rarely than a plain one. More

Ancient item

A rare copy of an item that belongs to an ancient set. Its name starts with the set's name (Kantata Ring of Wind), it adds +5 or +10 to one stat, and with other pieces of the same set it turns on set bonuses. More

Ancient set

A group of different items (armour, a weapon, rings, a pendant) whose ancient copies give extra bonuses when you wear two or more of them together. One plain item can belong to several sets: which set an ancient copy belongs to is written in its name. More

Normal set bonus

Wearing all pieces of one plain armour family (Leather, Bronze, Dragon ...) gives a small defense success rate bonus, and more defense when every piece is +10 or higher. No ancient or excellent copies needed. More

Resistance

Some attacks carry a side effect: ice slows you, poison drains your HP, lightning knocks you aside. A resistance makes the side effect miss: at resistance 1 half of them miss, at 5 five in six. It never lowers the damage. Of two rings and a pendant only the highest resistance counts.

Luck

An option on weapons and armour: +5% critical damage chance, and +25% success when you raise the item with a Jewel of Soul or at the Chaos Machine. More

Skill (on an item)

A weapon "with skill" lets you use that weapon's special attack (Falling Slash, Triple Shot ...) while you hold it. More

Option (+4 to +16)

An extra line that adds damage, defense or HP recovery in steps of 4 (rings and pendants: 1% steps). A Jewel of Life adds one step. More

Chance per kill

"1/500" means one kill in 500 drops it on average. Luck runs in streaks: you may need far more kills, or far fewer.

Durability

How much wear an item takes before it breaks. It goes down as you fight; repair it at a smith or with the repair button.

Defense

Comes off every hit you take. Defense rate (dodging) is a different number: it makes monsters miss you. More
