Dungeons & Dragons Online Interview at MMORPG.COM

chevalier · Thu, 2nd Feb '06, 10:44pm

First preview, then interview. Steve Moy who is the beta manager with Turbine has had a little conversation with MMORPG.COM on things mentioned in the preview. Here's a snip:

MMORPG.com: How will magic items be treated in the game? Will they be rare, or will they be easier to come by?

Steve Moy: Eberron is a world infused with magic and the lost continent of Xen’drik contains numerous ancient artifacts.

Our treasure system builds upon and extends the D&D treasure system presented in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. The number of different traits and enhancements that can appear on magical equipment means that there are quite literally millions of different items that you can find. This variety, when combined with the number of equipment slots available – right hand, left hand, armor, helmet, bracers, gloves, belt, boots, cloak, eyes, right finger, left finger, amulet, trinket and ammunition – assures that no two characters will be alike.

We’ve carefully balanced the distribution of magic items against character level, so it may be a little while before you see that first +1 Short Sword. But you can rest assured that in the course of your adventures you will see your fair share of magic items.
