Elemental Crafting: Difference between revisions

 

Going by your typical [[Role-Playing Game]], however, the most important feature of a weapon or item is not who made it or how, but ''what it is made of.'' The more expensive and rare the material, the better. You'll start running into different types of equipment in a certain order, ranging from newbie junk to epic loot:

* ''Cloth'' - "Armor" made of cloth is usually reserved for [[Squishy Wizard]] types and badass martial artists to whom [[Armor Is Useless]]. Otherwise, it will be the baseline worthless armor you start with. It also tends to be robes or clothing rather then actual protective gear.

** For those who use it, cloth has a hierarchy all its own, ranging from cotton to silk to explicitly magical material.

 

Compare [[Random Power Ranking]]. Can lead to [[Palette Swap]].

 

== [[Anime]] ==

* ''[[Saint Seiya]]'' has tiered armor sets that were [[Power Level|exponentially more powerful]] than the last. Bronze armor could withstand -100 Celsius and thousands of kilograms of pressure, while Silver Armors have magic effects like petrification and can resist temperatures near absolute zero, and Gold armors are the tip of this, resisting falls from ''orbit''. When new enemies showed up, their armors were either equivalent or superior to Gold armors.
