Greeting Rohanians!
Just like items can have additional options sometimes they can have an additional requirement besides stats and level which in this case is, Rank Requirement.
Sometimes when the player buys magic items or obtains items from monsters, they may have rank requirements.
This means that the player has two options if it wants to use the equipment:
Option 1:
Find an NPC "Status Refiner", ask it for refining the rank of the item, this cost crones and may fail this may lead to a considerable expenditure of crones.
Option 2:
Alternatively, you can join a guild and climb through the ranks.
The player starts at rank 1 (soldier) regardless of whether you have a guild or not.
Best regards
