Gearing System
Current Rule
The game uses fewer playable content tiers and more gear upgrade steps.
Content tiers:
| Content Tier | Unlock Level | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| iLvl 1 | 1 | First real gear set |
| iLvl 10 | 10 | Midgame jump |
| iLvl 20 | 20 | Endgame jump |
| iLvl 25 | 25 | Hard endgame |
Gear tiers:
| Gear Tier | How It Is Used |
|---|---|
| 1 | Crafted from iLvl 1 content |
| 5 | Upgrade tier from iLvl 1 content coins |
| 10 | Crafted/upgraded from iLvl 10 content coins |
| 15 | Gear-only upgrade tier from iLvl 10 content coins |
| 20 | Crafted/upgraded from iLvl 20 content coins |
| 25 | Crafted/upgraded from iLvl 25 content coins |
This keeps the dungeon/raid picker simple while still giving players steady gear goals.
New Characters
New characters start with no gear equipped.
The first goal is to clear iLvl 1 content, earn raw boss coins, and craft the first iLvl 1 set. Starter gear exists as craftable gear, not automatic inventory.
Coin Tiers
Coins are component items. Each coin is tied to a boss and a content tier.
| Content Tier | Coin Prefix | Rarity Key | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Raw | common | Raw Bulldrome Coin |
| 10 | Green | uncommon | Green Bulldrome Coin |
| 20 | Purple | epic | Purple Bulldrome Coin |
| 25 | Orange | legendary | Orange Bulldrome Coin |
iLvl 5 and iLvl 15 gear do not have their own playable content tier. They use coins from the previous playable tier:
| Gear Tier | Coin Tier Used |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 5 | 1 |
| 10 | 10 |
| 15 | 10 |
| 20 | 20 |
| 25 | 25 |
Boss Loot
Each boss drops one boss coin for the selected content tier.
Examples:
- Bulldrome at iLvl 1 drops Raw Bulldrome Coins.
- Tigrex at iLvl 10 drops Green Tigrex Coins.
- Barroth at iLvl 20 drops Purple Barroth Coins.
- Anjanath at iLvl 25 drops Orange Anjanath Coins.
Crafting And Upgrades
The first gear item in a boss/item line can be crafted directly. Higher versions should be reached through Upgrade.
Current rule:
- Craft iLvl 1 boss gear directly.
- Upgrade iLvl 1 -> 5 with iLvl 1 coins.
- Craft or upgrade iLvl 10 gear from iLvl 10 content.
- Upgrade iLvl 10 -> 15 with iLvl 10 coins.
- Craft or upgrade iLvl 20 gear from iLvl 20 content.
- Craft or upgrade iLvl 25 gear from iLvl 25 content.
Upgrade consumes the old item and awards the upgraded item. This avoids duplicate clutter and keeps item identity clear.
Examples:
| Upgrade | Cost Source |
|---|---|
| Raw Bulldrome Helmet iLvl 1 -> Honed Bulldrome Helmet iLvl 5 | Raw Bulldrome Coins |
| Green Tigrex Helmet iLvl 10 -> Blue Tigrex Helmet iLvl 15 | Green Tigrex Coins |
| Purple Bulldrome Helmet iLvl 20 -> Orange Bulldrome Helmet iLvl 25 | Orange Bulldrome Coins |
UI Behavior
The dungeon and raid picker only shows playable content tiers:
iLvl 1 -> iLvl 10 -> iLvl 20 -> iLvl 25
The equipment screen still shows gear recipes for:
iLvl 1 -> iLvl 5 -> iLvl 10 -> iLvl 15 -> iLvl 20 -> iLvl 25
Direct crafting is blocked for recipes that have a lower item-level version in the same boss/item line. Use the selected item's Upgrade button for those.
Roguelike Loot
Roguelike gear should follow the same tier brackets.
Recommended mapping:
| Stage Band | Coin Tier |
|---|---|
| 1-4 | 1 |
| 5-9 | 10 |
| 10-14 | 10 |
| 15-19 | 20 |
| 20+ | 25 |
Boss-based coins are still preferred. A roguelike boss should award coins for its actual boss template when possible.
Data Notes
Authoritative gearing data lives in SQLite seed data:
db/seed.sqlsrc/offline-starter-profile.json
Run this after changing seed data:
npm run db:init
npm run offline:export
npm run build already runs offline:export, so a production build also refreshes the offline starter profile.
TrueNAS keeps its own persistent data/game.db. Pushing code does not merge or replace that database. The TrueNAS app applies seed/schema changes when the container starts and runs npm run db:init.
