Force (magic) Users Items

Will there be (or are there already) items that enhance force specific gameplay? Perhaps restricted by your Light/Dark Side level?

As in -

Offhand shields or artifacts that provide a bonus to Force Armor?
Force staves or lightsabers that boost INT/WIS/CHA or provide a bonus to Light/Dark abilities in lieu of physical damage?
Equip-able items (rings, amulets, etc) that provide a bonus to Force Points/ CHA?

I usually play a pure evil wizard on traditional PW with a focus on maximizing INT and spell slot gear, none of that hybrid, heavy plate and crossbow nonsense :wink:
Creating something similar here wouldn’t be that difficult, provided the correct gear was available.

Thanks,

Kerby

Much of that is tied into the crafting system. It’s definitely possible to craft, for example, a weapon that gives a bonus to Force Points or armor that has a cost reduction for Dark/Light side abilities.
Plus there are mods that can be slotted that give a bonus to attributes.

^ Kendaric covered it nicely! We basically give you a bunch of blueprints to choose from and then you decide what properties and bonuses you want to put on the item.

So if you want Force Robes focused specifically on improving your Dark Side abilities, you use components which give +INT, +Dark Side, and so on.

We do offer a handful of pre-built items you can buy from vendors but in general the best stuff will come from crafting.

Oddly enough, I haven’t seen any accessories yet in crafting, but maybe they are under Fabrication.

Also, as a heads up, wearing non-Force Robes increases your casting time of Force spells. Light Armor was 25%, didn’t get around to trying to cast in Heavy.

I’m still not entiiiiirely sure how the property system works. Most materials have a pre-defined property set, and then have a chance at gaining bonus effects when (at the very least) smelted (since I only saw it on the metal bars, but I didn’t leave the station).

But yes, any skill in the game can receive modifiers through armor! I saw some weapons made with +meditate and the like, and I failed to append +harvest onto a knife.
