====== Items ======

[[:robotrek:|index]]

Items may have a unique quality like {{:robotrek:item:cure.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:cure|Cure]] or {{:robotrek:item:repair.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:repair|Repair]]. Or they may have tiers like armor pieces, e.g., {{:robotrek:item:boots1.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:boots1|Boots 1]] and {{:robotrek:item:boots2.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:boots2|Boots 2]]. And they may have tiers and levels like weapons, e.g., {{:robotrek:item:sword1.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:sword1|Sword 1]] Level 1 and {{:robotrek:item:sword1.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:sword1|Sword 1]] Level 2. As a rule of thumb the higher the tier or the higher the level the better the item. But there are exceptions to that rule, too.

===== Combinations =====

Combining the same item with different tiers and levels results in the same item of the higher tier and the higher tier's level plus half of the other level.

<WRAP tip round>

**Example**

{{:robotrek:item:axe3.png?nolink|}} [[:robotrek:item:axe3|Axe 3 Level 1]] + {{:robotrek:item:axe1.png?nolink|}} [[:robotrek:item:axe1|Axe 1 Level 2]] = {{:robotrek:item:axe3.png?nolink|}} [[:robotrek:item:axe3|Axe 3 Level 2]]

  * Axe Tier 3 is higher than Axe Tier 1, therefore the resulting item is an Axe Tier 3
  * The higher tier axe has Level 1, the lower tier axe is Level 2, therefore the resulting level is 1 plus half of 2, equals 1 + 1, equals 2

To level up a weapon, just combine it with Tier 1, Level 1 of the same weapon.

**Example**

{{:robotrek:item:sword3.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:sword3|Sword 3]] Level 5 + {{:robotrek:item:sword1.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:sword1|Sword 1]] Level 1 = {{:robotrek:item:sword3.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:sword3|Sword 3]] Level 6

</WRAP>

The above rule always holds, also when combining different items to form a new one. E.g. creating {{:robotrek:item:celtis1.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:celtis1|Celtis 1]] by combining {{:robotrek:item:shot2.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:shot2|Shot 2]] and {{:robotrek:item:hammer1.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:hammer1|Hammer 1]]. But, if you combine items of the same tier to form a new item, the rule does not apply and the levels are simply added together without any penalty.

**Rule applies**

{{:robotrek:item:shot2.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:shot2|Shot 2]] Level 1 + {{:robotrek:item:hammer1.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:hammer1|Hammer 1]] Level 4 = {{:robotrek:item:celtis1.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:celtis1|Celtis 1]] Level 3

Higher tier level 1 + half of lower tier level 4 = level 3.

**Rule does not apply**

{{:robotrek:item:shot1.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:shot1|Shot 1]] Level 1 + {{:robotrek:item:hammer1.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:hammer1|Hammer 1]] Level 4 = {{:robotrek:item:celtis1.png?nolink}} [[:robotrek:item:celtis1|Celtis 1]] Level 5

There if no higher tier item. Level 1 + Level 4 = level 5.
