Supers, uniques, elites, +'s!

Normal:

you can buy Plain old items from Blacksmiths and Armors. They have the lowest attack/magic attack/defense, and ect. Of the classes, I recommend using Normals up to about Level 40 (when you get promoted) by then you should have enough money in the Warehouse to buy better equipment!

Refined:

Slightly better than Normal, but not much, don't waste you're Silver on them!

Unique:

Good for Lower Lvls 15-40, they are much better than Refines and Normals, and are usually pretty cheap.

Elites:

MUCH better than Normals, Characters over Lvl 40 or 50 should start selling off they're Uniques and trying to buy Elites. This can be expensive, on my Server (Dreams) Elite Bracelets cost about 3KK (Million), where Uniques cost about 300k.

Supers:

The Best of the Best, they increase your stats by truckloads! Once you get higher up, about Lvl 100 you should be rich enough to start buying Supers. I mean face it, n00bs just don't have 20 or 30 million silver!

+'ING YOUR ITEMS:

Pluses can be found throughout the game, as you hunt. By them selves plused items aren't very special, but when used properly, they can be extremely powerful because they give you extra stats added to your current ones. For Example: You're Elite Club May do 100-200 damage, but with a +2 it would add on extra damage depending on the level of the club. So you could do 100-200 +50(ex), so you would do 150-250!!!

+'s Can be composed together with other items to make them +1's. For example: You have an Elite Club, you can make that Club ELITE and +1. Just go to the Magic Artisan in the Market, put your Item in the BIG slot and 2 +1 Items in the smaller slots.

You're item will now be Elite +1, if you repeat it will become +2.

When +'ing an item you have to have +1 Items of the same category, you CAN'T add a + your Coronet using +1 swords, you would need +1 Coronets!

After +2 you will begin needing more +1s to make the +'s higher, EXAPLE:

To Make +1 - (x2) +1's

+2 - (x2) +1's

+3 - (x2) +2's (Total = 6, +1's)

+4 - (x2) +3's (Total = 18, +1's)

+5 - (x2) +4's (Total = 54, +1's)

After +5 (+6 through +9) it is really complicated, even I don't understand it... so, I can only help you up to +5.
