Has anything been said about this?

So I have been curious.. Is there any plans to include randomly generated armor with random stats such as the weapons are? I mean you can basically buy pre-made weapons but go out and find special ones that are obviously better than the bought ones. I wasn't sure if they planned this or not? Would be cool to go find some awesome looking armor with awesome stats like +hp, +energy, def stats etc.

Also whats up with shields... Do they have a stat that is not yet released to show? Everytime I pick one up I have no idea what makes it any different lol.

 

Shields do have stats, just not tool tip descriptions. And I thought I remember something about randomly generated armors, though that is probably not being worked on. I do know that they intended to allow coloring armor, but that's probably not a priority atm.

 

The armors already do +hp, +energy, and +energy regen (also warmth), but yeah, it'd be cool to have some randomised armor, both for aesthetic purpose and also to alleviate reliance on crafting.

 

It was originally thought that armors were also going to have random stats, but it appears they decided to go with only crafted armors with fixed stats that give + HP, +light and +energy. I hope they begin to add random drop armors from mobs that have random stats, shields have random stats though.
