Of course, not all items are useful in battle. You will find precious junk items, too. These items don’t help you fight at all but can be sold for gold. Collecting and selling them in bulk is a great way to amass wealth. So don’t look down to them! Furthermore, you can find these sellable items almost everywhere: drops by monsters, left inside pots or lying in chests, given as rewards and more! Thus, thankfully they are very easy to collect. They might seem useless at first, but they are quite valuable, especially during the mid or late game where you will need to keep upgrading your gear.

Potent Consumables for Everyone!

Interestingly, there are also stat-raising items that can permanently boost your characters. Use them wisely, for they are consumed immediately. Furthermore, there are in-battle buffing items, which are rare , precious and useful. They also give boosts but only temporary and only during fights.

Obviously, finding them is a real game-changer, and that is why they are rare; you can only find them in various pots and chests.

The Wide Array of Weapons in Dark Shade

Dark Shade: Respecting Traditional Weapons

The Dark Shade respects tradition. You will find classic weapons like swords, daggers, bows, canes, and rods, all with normal, set stats. They are reliable, get the job done and will serve you as your basic tools. You will find these weapons mainly early and in the middle of the game and most, if not all, can be bought from shops. Of course, they will remain useful throughout your journey. However, there are is a new type of weapons added this time!

Innovation? Scaling Weapons!

Scaling weapons grow with your character! The weapon stats increase as you level up and are not pre-set. In addition, some may even scale with other factors and variables of the adventure. This means that you can use them from very early to extreme late game with the same efficiency! Due to their scalability, they adapt to your progress, making them invaluable. As a result, you can focus on a single weapon and watch it evolve, if you so want. Moreover, scaling weapons are great for long-term planning, strategizing and theory crafting! Of course, these types of weapons don’t actually have a progression level themselves. You will decide whenever it’s time to equip or unequip them! Scaling apparel will adapt immediately!

Protective Armors

Classic Armors during a Dark Era

Classic armors can be considered a staple in Dark Shade. Of course, heavy armor plates, rogue leather armor, magic clothing and general armor can be found in the game and offer solid protection. Evidently, they are what you expect and they always deliver. You will definitely rely on these armors for many early quests. They provide a balance of defense and style. Additionally, they are easy to find and equip, since they can be bought in weapons and armors shops. But again, there is a new horizon broadened in this classic rpg element too!

New, Scaling Armors

Just like weapons, some armors scale with your level. They provide consistent protection throughout your journey. These armors grow stronger as you do, not only with level but with other factors as well! This too ensures that your armor remains effective throughout the adventure. Thus, you won’t need to constantly search for upgrades. Instead, you can focus on your questing and exploration. Scaling armors are especially useful for challenging areas later on, where monsters play no joke.

Special Armors for a Special Quest

Some armors are really special! A number of them may resist negative states like poison or sleep while others can change your elemental weaknesses and resistances. Of course, this variety ensures you’re prepared for any situation. These special armors are rare but some of them can be bought in shops. These special armors provide significant advantages in battles. Consequently, finding them is a high priority. Keep an eye out for clues that lead to these treasures because explorers always find great rewards in the Dark Shade!

Shields, Smallshields and Protections

Heavy shields are for strong knights. They offer high physical defense and raise counter-attack and evasion chance. In addition, some even teach shield-specific skills! On the other hand, smaller shields and protections are for everyone, not only big and strong soldiers! They offer buffs and bonuses but less physical defense. Expect many options to suit your needs here too. In addition, some shields have unique properties and they can surely change the tide of a battle. Especially if you pair everything correctly with accessories.

Versatile Accessories

A True, Wide Variety

Speaking of accessories, of course the Dark Shade offers a great choice of them as well. You can buy them, find them, get them as loot or even receive them as gifts. They can raise your stats, give more experience after battles, or grant elemental resistances. Some may also double your loot chance or even trigger auto-battle making potential grinding through dense forests, where monsters jump at you randomly, easy. The variety is huge! Additionally, accessories can complement your main equipment. Thus, due to their versatile nature, they provide flexibility and customization for any case.

Rare Finds in the Dark Shade era?

You can easily find many accessories for your team in this adventure. However, the more powerful ones may require thorough exploration of a stage. These rare pieces of apparel offer special bonuses: some can grant immunity to certain elements or negative states while others may boost your stats by a lot or unlock skills and spells! Since, as you can tell, these are very powerful, you should always be on the lookout for hidden treasures. Rare accessories can give you the edge against any formidable opponent, be it a Shadow Monster or… a divergent one.
