Nothing major but found a few neat things, you might already know of them but I didnt see a post so here you go.

FYI,

Use two torches. While in the game press your "K" key.....then press "Shift" and "K" this will double the power of your torch :)

Watch your armor/Weapons

Most of the weapons have thier skill lvls and stats in place, but there are a few weapons that dont, for example at lvl 8 I am using a lvl 16 sword. Also this realy applies to armor if you have the points you can easily wear higher lvl armor again at lvl 8 I was wearing mostly lvl 16 gear...Im just hopeing when they fix it I will be that lvl so they dont get stripped off me:) This realy helps with lvling since you can run around at lvl 8 with lvl 16-20 (or higher) armor (This equates to double the AC or better considering the larger stat bonuses provided)

Like I said nothing to major, but still Nice to knows:)

BTW post a reply if this was a nice to know for you. If ya already knew it then hope I didnt bore you:)

You can use higher level items regardless of level. Each item has a specific equipment expertise cost associated with it. Its based on level and rarity, so uncommon is higher than common, rare higher than uncommon, 2 levels higher is more than 1 level higher, etc. As you level the expertise% for that item will go down.

For one item, the max wearable expertise cost is 25% (i think), and of course 100% with all items. If you are really decked out you will stay above 80%

True,

But this doesnt seem the case with weapons they do require a skill preset, which is easily restricted by lvl. Also, I cant wear all high lvl armor, say for example I wanted to only wear a lvl 30 chest piece if I was lvl 8 this would give me better overall stats then an entire set for my lvl. However it is restricted.

- There has to be some limits, why would they even bother placing item lvls on the gear if they dont plan on inforcing them?

Equipment level determines equipment expertise amount and has nothing to do with character lvl. The reason you cant wear a lvl 30 chest item is because you cant wear anything with over (25% I think or near that), which is normally 8-10 lvls above you. Like the other poster mentioned, EE and LVL is based on rarity as well.

Point being, equipment lvl means nothing as to its wearability, EE is the factor you should concern yourself with.

can not wear anything 20% or higher, so can wear 19% and lower.
