Ex Novus

*Randomly flips-through various old posts, smiles*

I’ve had an absolute blast writing for Ex Novus, even if it didn’t quite turn into the real ‘guild blog’ I had originally intended it to be.

So far, we’ve looked at just your gear. What about you? (Well, not you specifically but your character.) In this post, we’re going to talk about various consumables. In this case, we’re going to talk about the various consumables that directly affect your character like food, drinks, bandages, elixirs, flasks, potions, and scrolls.

So far, we’ve covered the basics, and went over the topic of gear pretty heavily. What happens though if you get the best gear you can, but still need/want more? For this post, we’ll talk about improving your existing gear through enhancements.
