Gear & Loot | Legends of War MUD

Legends of War uses a mix of classic MUD rewards and adaptive generated gear. Some objects are authored rewards, some come from corpses, and some are built for you when a mob dies.

This guide covers the player-facing systems:

Page	Use it for
ObjGen	Understanding generated gear, quality tiers, affixes, and adaptive upgrades.
Loot Drops	Learning how generated drops are awarded and which commands help you find upgrades.
Crafting	Turning unwanted generated items into shards and applying those shards to better bases.

Quick Start

If you only want the useful habits:

Keep fighting mobs near your level while leveling. The loot system is tuned to fill gaps and replace weak gear as you progress.
Use compare <item> before selling, sacrificing, or disenchanting a possible upgrade.
Use lootfind armor <slot> or lootfind weapon <type> when you want to hunt for a specific kind of generated drop.
Save interesting base items. A plain generated base can become much stronger through crafting.
Disenchant magic or rare generated items you do not need. Shards are stored in your ledger and can be reused later.
Use craft shards <item> and craft lookup <item> before enchanting, so you know what fits.

What Can Drop

Reward type	Where it appears	Notes
Generated armor and weapons	Directly in your inventory	Built from ObjGen bases and affixes when a mob dies.
Authored corpse loot	On the corpse	Traditional MUD equipment, objects, gold, and utility items.
Unique, set, and misc rewards	System-specific	Separate reward paths from normal generated armor and weapons.
Shards	From crafting	Created by disenchanting tracked generated magic or rare items.

Generated gear is the main leveling and farming upgrade loop. Corpse loot still matters, but the adaptive system is the one trying to understand your weak slots and weapon needs.

Useful Commands

Command	Purpose
`compare <item>`	Compare a carried item against what you are wearing.
`identify <item>`	Inspect an item’s stats in more detail.
`lootfind armor <slot>`	Find mobs likely to drop generated gear for a wear slot.
`lootfind weapon <type>`	Find mobs likely to drop generated weapons of a type.
`autobase`	Toggle whether high-level plain generated base drops are allowed.
`autoloot`	Toggle automatic corpse looting. Generated ObjGen rewards already go to inventory.
`craft`	Show crafting syntax.
`craft shards [item]`	Show owned shards, optionally filtered to an item.
`craft lookup <item>`	Show possible affixes for an item.
