Equipment

Equipment is a very important feature of Goodgame Empire. Usually, the right equipment in battles is the difference of the outcome between victory and defeat.

Two different types of equipment available, for either Commanders or Castellans. They provide multiple bonuses to your commander. There are 6 different classes of equipment: Helmet, Armor, Weapon, Artifact, Look and Hero. Equipment also comes in 6 rarities: Ordinary, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Unique, and Relic. They have coloured borders of grey, green, purple, orange, red, and blue respectively. Equipment can also be sold for either coins or relic shards in the equipment panel. The sale price is dependent on rarity.

Obtaining an Equipment[]

Equipment items can be obtained via :

Attacking NPC targets (all rarities except Unique and Relic are possible).
Attack nomad camp.
Buying from the Equipment Trader and other shops (eg the Master Blacksmith).
Special Offers.
Completion of certain tasks, such as quests etc.
In most Events as rewards.

It should be noted that no equipment can be obtained by attacking other players. Equipment cannot currently be traded between players.

Bonuses[]

There are a variety of bonuses available for equipment, the bonus with the highest stat determines the equipment's suffix. For example, if the highest stat on a commander's piece of equipment is "Increases combat strength of Ranged fighters by XX.X%" then the piece of equipment will be called "[Rarity] [Equipment type] of the Bowman". However in the case of a castellan piece of equipment it will be "[Rarity] [Equipment type] of Iron Rain". A later update has brought in Hero equipment pieces. The Commander and Castellan bonuses are now increasing in other areas and information regarding this will soon be provided.

Sets[]

There are certain sets of legendary equipment, that belong together and get extra bonusses, if equipped to the same castellan or commander. These bonuses can exceed the limits above and may offer bonuses specialised against certain targets (Enemy Castlelords, NPCs in general, Nomad targets, etc). This makes full sets the most powerful equipment until Relic Equipment is available in a high amount.

Smithy[]

The smithy is where you are able to forge the items you looted into new items. Only same quality items can be forged together, the type is irrelevant so a player can forge castellan and commander equipment together. At the cost of some Coins, a player can either place 3 items into the smithy (regardless of place in the 6 slots) and produce a new item of the same quality. The player also has the option of forging 6 items into an item of higher quality. The rarity of the item forged is dependent on what is put in and follows the sequence below. Note that Unique and Relic items cannot be forged and must be obtained via events or the alliance smithy.

Input	Output	Cost (Coins)
3 Ordinary	1 Ordinary	10
6 Ordinary	1 Rare	25
3 Rare	1 Rare	500
6 Rare	1 Epic	2,500
3 Epic	1 Epic	4,000
6 Epic	1 Legendary	20,000
3 Legendary	1 Legendary	25,000

Development of rarity

Sale Prices[]

Equipment items can be exchanged for coins in the smithy. Relic equipment can be exchanged for relic shards. The price fetched for the sale of an item is determined by its rarity. The price for non-relic items range from 25 to 12,000 gold coins (Heroes add 20%-25% to the price). The prices are as follows:

Ordinary - 25 coins
Rare - 250 coins
Epic - 1000 coins
Legendary - 6000 coins
Unique - 12000 coins
Relic - 200 to 400 shards

Looks[]

Looks are something that you can get during events to change the look of your castle(Castellan) or the look of your armies(Commander). You can only get looks during certain events, and most of them only last for a set time after that. Once the time is up, then the look is gone. If you hover over the look when it is equipped, then you can see how much time is left. Looks are Unique, so if you want to sell it you can for 12,000 gold coins. You get the same selling price no matter how much time is left, as it is still a unique at the end of its time. If you are looking for a little extra coins, you can sell it right as its time would be over(a few minutes left on the timer). This gives you a couple thousand coins for an almost useless item. The reason that you don't want to do this at the beginning is because when there is little time, everybody else will lose theirs in a little bit, so if you can get money off of something that won't be there in a couple of minutes, you should get coins out of it. Some look equipment gives you additional waves, extra unit limit of the front and flank or combat strength while attacking or defending with only limited time.

Example: Bell Of Spring and Demon Scepter

Technicus[]

Each piece of equipment can be upgraded several times at the technicus, to increase its stats using coins. This is very costly since the prices increase drastically each time and the chance of a successful upgrade shrink. Details at the Technicus.
