Weapon & Armor Overview
With the release of the Gracia - Part 1 update, there are a total of four different weapon types and two armor types in Lineage II. The weapon and armor types are not the same as their Grade. Below are explanations of all weapon and armor types and where they can be found.
Common Weapons & Armor
Common weapons, armor, and accessories are sold in shops and dropped by regular monsters. These items cannot be enchanted, augmented, or enhanced. Common items can be changed into Kamael-specific weapons and dual-swords.
Superior Weapons & Armor
Superior weapons, armor, and accessories are crafted by Dwarves and dropped by Raid Bosses. These items can be enchanted, augmented, or enhanced. When a Dwarf happens to create two weapons, armor pieces, or accessories from one set of materials, Superior weapons, armor, and accessories are the type of item that are created.
Foundation Weapons
Foundation Weapons are crafted by Dwarves, but they are not equippable until they have been refined by the Blacksmith of Mammon and turned into a Masterwork Weapon.
Masterwork Weapons
Masterwork Weapons are Foundation Weapons that have been refined by the Blacksmith of Mammon. These weapons have a special added effect that Superior Weapons do not have. Masterwork Weaspons can be enchanted, augmented, or enhanced.
