Loot is getting a pretty big overhaul in Villagers & Heroes when the Starfall 4.0 expansion goes live, with a color-based rarity system, improvements to crafting, and the addition of interchangeable runes, random armaments, and class-specific item slots.
“Loot will now have a Power Rating, showing how powerful a piece of armor or weapon can be,” Mad Otter explains. “This simple number lets you know instantly how much better or worst new loot you find is compared to what you currently use. One factor for this power rating are new item stats. Equipment you find and craft will have special properties. It could raise your health, lower your cooldown, or give a chance for massive damage. These stat boosts are in tiers of Common, Uncommon, and Rare, and each with their own edge in combat.”
The expansion is still slated for all platforms “later this year.” Crafting is just one of the systems getting an overhaul; the studio is also working on new talent trees, feats, zones, and a level cap bump.
