I'm not sure if I'm imagining this but in the beta I'm sure there were restrictions on the gear you could equip. I've just equiped my 2nd level fighter with a 5th level sword. Is that right?
Yes, works as intended. Level of an item is more a measure of its power - in terms of the game design. Might be counter intuitive to some - due to the how it's handled in many action rpgs et c. To limit players from using too high level items you'll start running into something called power tokens (first one for weapons is at lvl 7). Hope that makes (some) sense!
Ah, ok! Yes, the power tokens were what I was thinking of. Thanks! Absolutely love this game and very proud that it's a local dev team.
