PvP Equipment panel

The PvP Equipment panel is only available to PvP-only characters. It allows for the creation and customization of weapons and armor for your character and for any heroes in your party. The panel can be opened by clicking on the "PvP Equipment" button in the inventory window or pressing the keyboard shortcut (default "J").

Customization[edit]

To customize your character or a hero, select their bust from the eight windows at the top of the PvP Equipment pane. The glowing aura and yellow background will indicate the character currently selected.

To create a piece of equipment, select the appropriate tab and find the desired equipment in the list in the upper left. Next, select any desired upgrades from the other lists and the desired dye color from among the squares in the bottom left. Only upgrades that have been unlocked will be available - this includes inscriptions/upgrade components for weapons, shields, and foci, and insignia/runes for armor. Players will receive a confirmation box if they have a PvE item equipped to prevent accidental deletion; if you confirm the item's creation the PvE item will be destroyed.

Equip Immediately[edit]

If "equip immediately" in the bottom left is checked, the equipment will be equipped after clicking the "create" button and any equipment previously equipped to the same place will be lost. If "equip immediately" is not checked, then the equipment will be placed into a free inventory slot when "create" is clicked.

You cannot create an identical weapon to one already created.

Dye[edit]

Weapons and armor created with the PvP Equipment panel can be dyed using the buttons in the bottom left. The number of times you are able to dye weapons and armor is unlimited but colors will be pure as a Dye Preview box will not appear. Dye colors available include silver, blue, green, purple, red, yellow, brown and orange dye. Weapon and armor can be dyed using the regular manner but this will require you to purchase and use the dyes.

Weapons Tabs[edit]

There are three tabs for two-handed, one-handed and off-hand items. Each tab offers one item for each Attribute available with this type. These items all use a skin also available as PvE loot, most often a common skin. They have a special naming, being "PvP <Attribute> <Weapon type>"

Armor Tabs[edit]

The armor components of the PvP Equipment panel is broken down into five tabs: Head, Chest, Hands, Legs and Feet. There are specific armor skin sets available to choose, each depicting an existing armor set, partly renamed. There are separate Headpieces for each attribute, thus making the skins available dependent of a corresponding attribute if they differentiate. (Some classes also use one headgear skin for every attribute.)

Notes[edit]

  • All equipment created has the maximum stats possible (such as damage ranges, armor, or energy bonuses) and, where applicable, a requirement of 9 in an appropriate attribute. Note: weapon/offhand upgrade component mods may not be the maximum possible if the "perfect" version of that component has not yet been unlocked for the character's account.
  • PvP equipment is automatically customized to the character creating it, and can't be traded.
  • Although salvaged upgrade components found in PvE can be applied to PvP equipment, they cannot be salvaged back off.
  • If creating an item with an associated attribute requirement (weapons, shields, or foci), items which your character currently meets the requirement for will be displayed at the top of the selection list above all others.
  • Equipment sets can be saved to Equipment Templates.
  • When a PvP-only character is recreated, heroes will retain the same weapon and armor combination as the previous PvP-only character.
