Item Changes in Exodus

Exodus

The Issues with Vanilla Items

We felt that the original game's items were underwhelming. For example, the stat difference between level 80 and 90 gear was often just a single main stat, making upgrades feel unrewarding, especially with added stat requirements. On top of that, the best-in-slot shoes, capes, and gloves were low-level items, which made higher-level equipment pointless. Finally, the Maple weapons, which had no stat requirements, encouraged players to go secondary stat-less and use the same weapon throughout the entire early and mid-game, leading to a lack of variety and progression.

The Changes to the Item System
