Equipment is a very important feature of Goodgame Empire.

 

There exists two different types of equipment available, for either Commanders, or Castellans. They provide mulitple bonuses There are 6 different classes of equipment: Helmet, Armor, Weapon, Artifact, Look and Hero. Equipment also comes in 5 different rarities: Ordinary, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Unique. They have the coloured borders of grey, green, purple, orange, and red respectively. Equipment can also be sold for gold coins in the equipment panel. The sale price is dependent on rarity and rarity alone.

 

 

Obtaining Equipment

 

Equipment items can be obtained through

attacking Robber Baron Castles (all rarities are possible though not all will give you equipment)buying from the equipment traderthrough special offerscompletetion of certain tasks, such as quests etc.

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

 

Bonus

 

There is 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 recent 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.

Gems

 

Gems are obtainable through attacking Robber Baron Castles and in the alliance smithy. Gems act like bonuses but need to be socketed. Socketing requires a certain amount of gold, depending on the abilities and level of the gem. Once socketed the gem cannot be removed. If a gem is already socketed when a new gem is socket than the new gem replaces the old one and the old gem is lost as there can only be one piece of equipment socketed to each piece of equipment. Gems are levelled between level 1 and 10.

 

Types of gems

 

Commander

• Gem of the Fire Starter 1 - 10% chance of 10% more fire damage

Castellan

• Royal Reinforcements - 10% change of support from 20 kingsguard units in the courtyard.

 

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 gold, a player can either place 3 items into the smithy (irregardless 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 a "Unique" rarity item cannot be forged and must be obtained via events.
