> What does the level of an armor do? Does a hero level armor protect you better then a level 30 armor even if it compares the same? Does wearing more hero items make you fight better? Even if the item doesn't do very much compared to lower lvl item? What exactly does the level on a item tell you? Item levels only have three real purposes.... #1) You cannot use locate object to find an item if its higher than your level. #2) Weapons that are higher level than the person using them will do less damage. #3) If an item is sold by a shopkeeper, they will not sell it to you if you are a lower level than the item. Item levels have other minor effects in the game, but are mostly internal and don't effect players. So, unless something's changed in the last couple years, armor level means nothing.
