Princess Hunting Dungeon Meister:Equipment

Forging
Princess Hunting Dungeon Meister has two crafting systems, Synthesis (合成) and Forging (錬成). Synthesis allows the player to create new items from crafting materials while Forging allows equipment that has been found or crafted to be improved.

Forging can only be performed during a stage via the forging menu option (Row 2, Column 3), and requires Mana to perform. Equipment that can be forged can only be improved a limited number of times in predetermined attributes, indicated by the bubbles listed next to each attribute. Each level of improvement costs 10 mana plus 5 for each previous improvement level in that attribute up until level 6, where costs increase by an additional 5 per level.

Each equipment in the game has a Forging rank, rated E-S. Players can only forge items that are at the player's Forging rank or lower, thus if the player has a Forging rank of E, they can enhance a Rank D Sword or a Rank E Ring, but not a Rank C Bow.

Players begin with a Forging rank of E, and can increase this rank by gaining skill level by either forging an item, which grants one skill level per level of improvement add to the equipment, or by spending clear points in the ritual menu between stages at a rate of 30 clear points per 6 skill levels. The number of skill levels needed to reach the next rank increases as follows:

Equipment Properties and Notes

 * Each equipment has a class. With the exception of Lily, who can equip almost all forms of equipment, each unit can only equip specific classes of item, e.g. an Orc cannot equip Cat Gloves because it is a claw class item and Orcs can only equip sword class weapons.
 * Each equipment also has an alignment. For weapons, this indicates the offensive alignment of attacks made with that weapon.  For all other equipment, the unit's defensive alignment is changed to that of the equipment.
 * Equipment can also grant skills or other special abilities. Of particular note are the items Fool's Mill and Fool's Tears, which increase the number of items dropped by enemies, and Marwen's Bracelet, which doubles the chance that each of a unit's statistics will increase on level up.  Due to the nature of binomial probability distributions, the low probability of any given unit statistic increasing, and the low number of trials (at most 98 levels per character without rolling back the game), individual player's experiences with Marwen's Bracelet may vary wildly.

List of Equipment
The following charts show all equipment available in Princess Hunting Dungeon Meister. Blank cells indicate that the equipment does not affect that statistic. For item source, if a stage number is given by itself that means it is a treasure on that floor. If the item is a drop from a common enemy found on multiple stages, no specific stage number is given. Unique units and bosses that drop items are listed with the stage number on which they appear.

Shields
Of particular note are the Corpse Shield and the Ghostly Shield, which impart the wielder with a constant debuff, changes their alignment to the rare alignment types of undead and spirit, respectively, which absorb dark damage and are highly resistant to physical damage.

Capture Equipment
Capture equipment allows for the capture of enemy units without the use of the capture skill or SP. Each piece of capture equipment has a capture level, it can only capture enemies whose level is at or below the equipment's. As it has a capture level of 99, the Snake Princess's Rope can capture any unit in the game.
