Aetherial Item

Aetherial Items are weapons, armor and accessories with Aetherial at the start of their names. Aetherial items also have pink names and pink icons. These items are usually dropped in dungeon chests and are untradable and unsellable.

They can also be found in Battlecraft Leves.

Unlike most other gear items, Aetherial items have some randomly rolled stats in addition to its base stats.

Lore

No, this sword is mine, and if you want it, you’ll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands! Which, in truth, is how aetherial gear comes to be. You’ve heard of spiritbonds, I assume? That spiritually charged aetherial connection you form with any gear you have equipped? Well, in rare cases, when someone wielding an item with an especially strong spiritbond is slain in battle, the energy created by that bond remains trapped inside, rather than returning to the Lifestream. That energy enhances the gear, and voilà! You have an aetherial shortsword, or an aetherial subligar, or a pair of aetherial goatskin smithy gloves of gathering. The fact that for an item to become aetherial, the owner of that item must perish while having it equipped, usually means that they can only be found in dangerous locations where terrible, bloody battles have occurred.
