Q: With limited magic items in the Conan world, what types of weapons and armor can players expect to find or craft?
A: Conan's world is not quite as 'low' magic as people presume. His enemies were quite often those who wielded ancient evil magic against those who would oppose them. This is an area where there will be some compromise to the 'how true to the lore will you be?' question and there will be magic items in the world that players will be able to attain and use, as well as a wide variety of different 'ordinary' weapons in different tiers of quality that will be available.
So whilst players certainly won't be running around with flame spouting broadswords by level ten, there will be powerful magical items for players to find later on, as well as our socket gem system that will allow crafters to add bonuses to weapons.
