Rance Quest:Equipment

Weapons and armors all have an overall rank that goes from nothing to ⑤. For shop items this rank raises after buying an item and leaving, so on your next visit that longsword will suddenly have a ① after its name if you bought one. This rank increases the price of items by 50% per level and damage/defense by 5% per level, meaning that at rank ⑤ items will be 25% better but cost 250% more gold. However, this rank affects all random drops you get from quest. So if the shop is selling a rank ⑤ Long Bow, ALL Long Bows you get later will have rank ⑤.

Weapons, armors, and some accessories dropped from quest can have a random number of bonus, denoted by the number on the lower left corner of the item icon. This number can be increased by fulfilling the bonus condition(s) in the quest. Note that this method only affects items you get from the current quest. There are three types of bonus condition, from top to bottom: collect a number of yellow spiky orb, level up a number of times, win (not escape or time-out) a number of red spiky orb battles.

Unique Growth Equipment
While in your travels through Rance Quest, you may encounter special equipment(though the name does not change) that has a growth bar. Such weapons will increase in strength with constant use, up to a growth rating of 1000%. I have yet to confirm the actual growth, but one of my such weapon has a 50% attack boost upon hitting 1000% growth rate. Such items may become very handy, as it provides great power for its level.

Accessories
Accessories will be destroyed when you unequip them. They usually give strait bonuses to stats and are useable by all character classes.
