The AQ forum's Pending Guides' Optimization Academy of Lore is a listing of Equipment categorized by (Multi)Elements/Weapon Special Proc rate/Defensive, Neutral or Offensive effects/Attack Type/Armor Lean/Compressed Equipment/Availability as Gold/Seasonal/Guardian/Token/Package/Heromart.
MasterCraft equipment pay an additional 10% Gold/Token price for a 5% power bonus, the bonus can be used for a 5% boost to performance, to pay for a downtrigger that when the criteria of the trigger is met applies a *1.5 if it is based on the player's actions like having an active status on the enemy, *2 if based on the enemy's race/element or their actions like applying a status to the player, or to compress additional elements and equipment categories into the said item, such as a Skill, Spell, Pet, Guest and toggles, each of these will add their respective standard equipment type's price to the overall price of the item compressing it.
Quickcast is a term for actions that doesn't require turn(s) to apply, each turn(s) of a Weapon's power valued at 100% melee for Warrior's Melee/Ranger's Ranged or 75% melee for Mage/Beastmaster's Magic are not applied, only resource costs contribute to the power.
Armors and Shields compressing skill/spell/toggle either follow weapon element or are locked to an element with compensation determined from the lowest product between (select one of the armor's eight resistances - shield)/Expected resistance at player level and 130/locked element position relative to the selected resistance's element according to the Elemental Wheel Correct 130, Ally 115, Neutral 100, Poor 85 or Opposite 70, subtract .125 if Mid Offensive or .25 if Neutral to (Mid) Defensive.
Click to browse the Optimization Academy of Lore: Armor/Shield/Spells, it contains links to the named single element Defensive Lean Armors provided below, Neko is the only Defensive Subrace, the elemental versions of Bard of War from Golden Giftbox are most similar to this type of design with toggles increasing intake for increased output.
Token, Golden Giftbox and Package equipment are also present in those listings, if open to spending real money, may request summary info for them as well.
