Below is information on weapons and equipment for the site, including the types and what separates these two items on the site.

Weapons are ranked much like jutsu from D to S. This rank is given based on the overall strength of the weapon itself (durability) and the abilities the weapon possesses. Ranks, abilities and prices are given on a case to case basis at staff discretion. It takes two staff signing off on your weapon for it to be approved at its current state.

Weapon durability is how much your weapon can stand before it is broken. This works off of the normal durability stat. And correlates with your opponents strength stat.

Next we cover damage types. This has no effect on rank or damage done, but more the type of damage that is dealt based on what kind of weapon you have to help RPers facing your weapon determine how your attacks affect them.

Slashing types - depending on weapon rank and opponent tier/durability, this type of damage cuts through skin or even bone. Most commonly seen in a swing of a sword or other bladed weapon.

Bashing types - depending on weapon rank and opponent tier/durability, this type of damage can break bones or even break armor or other defensive jutsu. Commonly seen in hammers or other non-bladed weapons.

Piercing types - depending on weapon rank and opponent tier/durability, this type of damage goes straight into an opponent in a straight line. Usually going in one side and out the other. Commonly seen in a jabbing attack with a sword or other bladed weapon.

One or more of these types of damage can apply to your weapon. This is simply to help opponents IC react realistically when hit by an attack.

Equipment is ranked much like jutsu from D to S. This rank is given based on the overall strength of the Equipment itself (durability) and the abilities the Equipment possesses. Ranks, abilities and prices are given on a case to case basis at staff discretion. It takes two staff signing off on your weapon for it to be approved at its current state. It should be stated that TYPE of equipment also has an effect on final price.

Equipment durability is how much your item can stand before it is broken. This works off of the normal durability stat. And correlates with your opponents strength stat.
