Accessories & Items¶
Equip Rules¶
Every player may equip 3 accessories at a time, regardless of tier. Accessories can be swapped freely between battles but never during one.
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Slots | 3 for all tiers — Squire, Warrior, and Mage alike |
| Swapping | Free between battles; locked once a battle begins |
| Stacking | Two copies of the same accessory do not stack — the higher bonus applies only |
| Tier locks | Rare accessories require Warrior tier; Legendary requires Mage tier |
| Trading | Common/Uncommon trade freely. Rare+ are NFTs (see 11-cards-and-web3.md) |
| Loss on raid | Accessories are never lost in a Raid — only $ROOT5, XP, and Sprites are at stake |
| 
| Tidesear Bracelets | WIS +4; Water abilities deal +8% bonus damage; cleanse minor debuffs | Water Guild market / The Abyssal Sanctum expedition |
Accessories are worn, not consumed. Healing items are consumed, not worn. They do not share slots.
Rarity¶
| Rarity | Border | Source | Tier Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | White | Guild Market, 40–60 $ROOT5 | Squire |
| Uncommon | Green | Side Quests, Sprite drops | Squire |
| Rare | Blue | Tier Quests, Premium Market | Warrior |
| Legendary | Gold holographic | Final Quests, Fifth Root Quest | Mage |

Accessory Set Bonuses¶
Beyond individual power, certain accessories are thematically linked and, when equipped together, grant Set Bonuses. A set bonus activates when a player wears 2 or 3 accessories from the same set simultaneously.
| Set | Pieces | 2-Piece Bonus | 3-Piece Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root-Bound | Root Band + Greenhouse Gloves | +5 HP; farm plots yield +2 $ROOT5 per harvest | +10 HP; +1 DEF; farm plots yield +4 $ROOT5 per harvest |
| Guild Protector | Rootweave Armor + Counter Wrap + Patrol Lantern | +1 Counter Threshold; +10% Raid defense | +2 Counter Threshold; +15% Raid defense; reveals incoming Raid 2 hours early |
| Aether Adept | Aether Stone Pendant + Mageweave Cloak | Aether abilities cost −5 additional SP | Aether abilities cost −10 additional SP; WIS +2 |
| Guild Conqueror | Any two Guild-specific Rare accessories (Rootweave Armor, Flameshod Boots, Tide Sigil, Storm Crown) | +2 to the secondary stat of each equipped piece; glowing aura during Gate Battles | (3-piece not possible — only 4 guilds exist and each piece is single-guild) |
Sets cannot be mixed across tiers for the same bonus — a Root Band (Common) combined with Greenhouse Gloves (Uncommon) still activates the Root-Bound set because the set is defined by identity, not rarity.
