While armors color can be changed, there is normally only one type of armor that can be worn for each class and level. After first or second rebirth, level 70 characters can also use any equipment that is level 70 or below, regardless of character-class requirements.
Equipment has a range of quality levels - from lowest to highest, they are Normal, Refined, Unique, Elite, and Super. Equipment may be upgraded using either DragonBalls to increase the item's quality, or Meteors to increase the item's required level [which also makes the item stronger]. When upgrading an item via the DragonBall method, it becomes harder to accomplish the further up in the scale the item is.
'Fixed' items have the most powerful properties of any type of item[16] but are limited to level 50 or lower, and cannot be upgraded in any way. These items cannot be created; they are only found when dropped by aide or messenger type monsters.
An item may also be composed, adding "+#" to the item's name, where # is a number between 1 and 9. Weapons, however, can be upgraded to +12. [17] This number, similar to the quality levels, gives the item extra stats, making it more powerful.[18]
Gems can be mined or dropped by slain monsters, and are used to add an effect to an item such as increased damage, weapon proficiency, or overall experience gain[19]. Gems are also needed for players to be reborn. To insert a gem into an item, it must have a socket; there are a maximum of two sockets per piece of equipment. Additionally, items can be blessed or enchanted, which decreases damage or increases a player's health. There are 8 gems: Dragon, Moon, Violet, Kylin, Fury, Tortoise, Phoenix, and Rainbow.[19]
An item my also be blessed with the help of Super Tortoise Gems, in order to award the character by subtracting battle damage when in combat. A blessed item may relieve up to 7 percent of damage taken.
Gems are required for enchantment.[20] The amount of health is randomly selected - the higher quality gem, the high chance of getting a high enchant. A player may obtain up to 255 additional health per item. Gems come in three qualities: normal, refined, and super. The effect of the gem depends on the quality, with normal being the lowest and super the highest. Usually, the higher the gem's quality, the more expensive it is.

Weapons
There are two categories of weapons: one-handed and two-handed[15]. One-handed weapons include clubs, daggers, axes, swords, hammers hooks, whips, back swords, scepters, and blades; two-handed weapons include pole axes, spears, wands, glaives, bows, and long hammers. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Selection of weaponry is limited for taoists and archers, Taoists can only use backswords and low level normal weapons [the exception is when they are 'reborn', they may then use any except bows]. Archers may only use Bows and low level normal weapons, while Warriors and Trojans can only use one and two-handed weapons that aren't backswords or bows. After one has achieved level 120, the requirement to upgrade weapons is one dragonball. An example of this being a level 120 sword would need one dragonball to become level 121.
Appearance
Akin to many MMORPGs, players can customize the appearance of their character[14]. A player may choose the characters gender, name, hair style/colour and body size [a 'small' size resembling a child form, and a 'large' size resembling an adult]. Also, depending on the characters chosen class, their body armour and equippable items are distinct from the other classes[15]. The above image demonstrates the appearance of the taoist character with customization.
Some items, however, are wearable by all classes and allow further customization of the character such as earrings which allow visibility of the avatars hair [as opposed to a hat or cap which does not]

Battle Skills
Only certain classes have access to certain skills.
Combat skills - these inflict direct damage to an enemy or to support friendly targets.
Attribute skills - these change a characters attributes in some way, such as increasing attack or defense. Skills are powered through mana, stamina, or XP points [which are not analogous to experience points].
A new System has been released called potency which will help the character battle better
Combat skills are different for each class. The taoist has access to magical spells[12], for example, whereas the melee classes will have other direct damage attacks[13].

Characters
Characters in Conquer Online serve as the human players avatar in the online world of Conquer. The game allows one character per server per user account, and the player may choose between four distinct classes: the archer, the trojan [a melee fighter], the taoist [a magic wielding class] and a warrior [a high defense, melee class]. Furthermore, the taoist class is split into two paths with the 'water taoist' focused on being a support class while the 'fire taoist' is a magic based damage class.[11]
Each of these classes have their own unique advantages and disadvantages.

Potency
A recent addition to the Conquer Online gameplay is the system of "Potency". This system assigns each player a number which is calculated from various factors. The level of the character, how many times they have done the "rebirth" process and the general overall quality of their equipment all relate to this score. [10]
Potency gives many advantages to the player holding it. One advantage is that the damage received from attacking players is reduced and capped and attacks against players with lower potency will cause more damage. Another advantage is an increased gain in experience points from mobs that provide it.

Quests
Quests are a part of the Conquer Online game but they do not feature as prominently as other MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft.
Quests are divided into categories based on a character's level and may help a player earn rare items, such as gems and weapons.
Some quests a character is rewarded a prize, and some quests a character is rewarded with glory.

Combat and Leveling
Like most MMORPG games, the Conquer Online system of leveling is through the gain of experience points. These are gained by attacking monsters throughout the game land. After a certain amount gained, the player will gain a level, allowing them to become more powerful. The amount of experience points needed increases with each level gained, to a maximum level of 135.[6]
A notable feature of Conquer Online is that when a player reaches the upper limits from 120 onwards [level 110 for water taoists], they may choose to be 'reborn', essentially starting again from level 15[7]. More skills are awarded to the player who is reborn[8]. More information is available from the Conquer Online website [see below]
The game system in Conquer Online has been designed to encourage higher leveled players to assist beginners ["newbies"] in starting out. The higher players is rewarded for this assistance by gaining a form of currency called 'virtue points'[9] - or VPs - which can be exchanged for items from an NPC. Furthermore, when the newer player collects the silvers which drops from the mobs, the higher player receives a small portion of this. Although all players can help others level, only a player above level 70 powerleveling another character at least 20 levels lower than himself can receive Virtue Points (VP) for his efforts. For each level the beginner gains, the team leader who meets the required conditions will receive a set amount of virtue points.
The amount of virtue points gained varies according to the level of the beginner — a higher level gives more VP, since it takes more time to achieve the next level. Virtue points are not gained if the person being powerleveled is above level 70. While players may receive experience points by being powerleveled, they do not receive any skills or weapon proficiency.

Guilds and Guild Wars
Conquer Online will allow players to start their own guild for 1,000,000 silvers [the in-game currency] once they reach level 90. Joining a guild is free and accessible to players at all levels. Each guild is controlled by a guild leader and a maximum of five deputy leaders. Additionally, a guild can have branches, each with its own manager. Guilds are often a place for players to meet and receive help, where guild funds compensate a player for a portion of the experience lost after being killed by another player. To leave a guild, a player must donate 20,000 silvers to the fund. They may also be ejected by the leader[4].
Another feature of Conquer Online is the weekly server-wide guild war. Each guild may choose to attend the war in an attempt to capture the guild pole from the guild which currently controls it. The attacking guild(s) must storm a castle by taking down one of two gates to get in, then deplete the hit points of the guild pole. When the poles life bar is empty, whichever guild dealt the most damage to the pole gains control over the castle, and must protect the doors and pole until the end of the guild war period. Once the war has ended, the guild which last owned the pole wins and some benefits are granted to the reigning guild. The guild controlling the pole can enter and exit through the gate and leaders of the guild may open the gate at will[5].

Gameplay
Conquer Online involves many typical MMORPG features, such as PvP, quests and guilds[2]. The entire Conquer Online, save for a few cities, allows for unrestricted player-killing. A player usually accumulates 10 "PK points" for killing another player. However, killing an enemy guild member will result in only three points. Killing an enemy that is on your black list [they have killed you before] will result in only five points. These points give in-game NPCs [guards] reason to attack and kill the offending player. When a player kills or hits another player they will receive a flashing blue tag to warn other players of the action. PK points slowly decrease over time (10 points an hour, or 1 point every 6 minutes), even upon death.[3] A player who has accumulated over 30 points will have a red-colored name tag and has the chance to lose equipment when killed by another player and lose items in their inventory. However, non-equipped items can be lost by any sort of death. A player with 100 PK points or more will have a black-colored name tag, and will always drop at least one piece of equipment, lose everything in their inventory, and be sent to the in game jail, if they are killed by another player or NPC. Players with PK points over 1000 cannot kill anyone who is white named (has PK points under 30).
What Is Conquer Online?
Conquer Online is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, developed by TQ Digital Entertainment. The game is available in English, Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish. The game landscape is a two dimensional rendition of mythical China with three dimensional characters. The game has a straightforward combat-focused play style, incorporating common elements of many MMORPGs such as wealth, fame and character development. In the game, players can choose from five distinct classes, participate in server-wide battles, and enjoy player killing at leisure.
Downloading and playing Conquer Online is free, but TQ Digital, the game developers, sell an in-game item known as a Dragon Ball in packages of two, five or 125 to generate revenue[1]. High-level players often purchase these items to increase their equipment power, saving hours of in-game effort. The operators also sell installation CDs for those who cannot download, or would like to own a hard copy of, the game.
