Another thing I've found out is that this game very very item finding heavy. In order to get the best gear you need to find them. Raw materials can later be used to craft rings and so on.
Certain enemies drop certain items, so if your looking for a certain dagger with 3 slots you need to milk that enemy.
Also WL and AL means weapon levels and Armor Levels.
You can refine these items to make them stronger, Refining them more than 3 times is dangerous but you can go up to I've seen 8 but you run the risk of breaking the item. (You need raw mats to refine also)
By refining you bump the value of the item versus it's weight.
In this way the heavy armors with naturally high weight and AL wil see a huge growth in defense instead of the measly one you get when you first equip them which makes a 5 AL 5 WT armor near worthless to a 0AL 0 WT one that allows you to equip heavier weapons.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
