Items

List

We can have two types of items lists:

• Tibia like list
• AD&D like list

Tibia is more random, and has more items than AD&D, and you are encourage to upgrade your items, while AD&D abuses a bit of +1,+2. I think that we could try a mix approach perhaps, but i do see ridiculous to see pure AD&D approach like in shield+15 ( that is the difference between a wooden shield and a copper shield )

Properties

We have several common attributes for all the items. Mainly:

• Type
• Class
• Subclass

And some attributes that objects may or many not have:

• Attack
• Defense
• Quantity

Additionally items should explain:

• What slots can they be equipped
• Weight
• tiled id

Art

The visual style of all items should have some consistency. Perhaps one person should be responsible for all item design and drawing.
