Item guide: weapons, armor, accessories and item sets

How item progression works in KuroMS: weapons, armor, accessories, projectiles, new equipment slots, custom item sets and where to look up every item from level 1 to level 300.

Item progression

Item Progression has always been a core fundamental of the classic game and plays a major role in KuroMS. Acquiring new items should feel rewarding for the effort that players invest, so we've added and reworked a large amount of items for player progression.

Throughout your adventure then you will find an abundance of items through hunting mobs, crafting with Maker along with Bossing Expeditions.

In the typical classic game of this era, item progression would generally look like: Level 10 > Level 35 > Level 43 > Level 50 > Level 64 > Level 80 > Level 100 > Level 120. In KuroMS, there are a whole lot more items to help players constantly progress all the way from level 1 to level 300.

New equipment slots

We have also created many new item slots such as Shoulderpads, Pocket Slots, Emblems, Gems, Titles, Badges, Totems and Android.

  • Shoulderpads
  • Pocket Slots
  • Emblems
  • Gems
  • Titles
  • Badges
  • Totems
  • Android

A few of the new-slot items you will meet along the Player Guide route:

  • Silver Maple Emblem: Source: Subconcious Crack, Deep Ludibrium (Level 100 to 120)
  • Golden Flower Badge: Source: Chief Tomato's cousin, Deep Leafre (Level 120 to 150)

  • Lion Castle Emblem: Source: Luden, Lion King's Castle (Level 180+)
  • Neinheartroid (M): Source: Twilight Perion (late progression)

Item and monster database

Kuro also added in all the items and monsters to a special database which can be viewed at playkuro.com/database.

Item sets in a Pre Big Bang server

We have made a custom item set for many items including weapons, accessories and armors for players to acquire.

  • Demon Items Set
  • Revolution Set: Source: Krexel rings, Scarlion & Targa earrings
  • Tempest Set: Source: Krexel rings, Scarlion & Targa earrings

Many set pieces can also be leveled up, fused or absorbed later on. See the Player Guide and the Absorption Guide for where each upgrade happens.

Weapon progression

Weapons are one of the most important parts of item progression. To make gearing feel more satisfying and meaningful, we added a lot more variety to weapons and carefully adjusted the stats on almost every weapon we added, plus many regular ones too.

Weapon multipliers adjusted: Swords, Spears and Staffs now lean more into single-target DPS. Blunt Weapons, Axes and Wands are stronger at multi-target damage and mobbing.

Maker skill improvements: Weapon Stimulators no longer have a chance to destroy your weapon, and Black Crystals now only grant positive stats. A new special Enhancing Crystal will be unlocked later on.

Weapon families, in order of progression:

  • Astaroth Weapons
  • Balrog Weapons
  • Maple Weapons
  • Alien Weapons
  • Zakum Weapons
  • Pinnacle/Revolution/Tempest Weapons
  • Timeless Weapons
  • Von Leon Weapons
  • Empress Weapons
  • Fafnir Weapons
  • Absolab Weapons

Armor and set progression

Like weapons, there are many new armor options and categories to collect and progress through. Higher-level armors come with both Weapon Attack and Magic Attack, which makes them worth investing in. We also highly recommend using the Maker skill with Strengthened Crystals to create powerful, perfect sets.

Locking your items

Right-click an item in your Item window (or long-press it on a phone) and choose LOCK. It works on Equip, Use and Etc items. A locked item shows a padlock and a red frame, and it is protected from Sell All, from being dropped and from being sold one at a time in a shop. Choose UNLOCK to free it again.

The same item menu also has Equip / Use, Trade / Put in Shop, Drop and Ignore / Unignore Item.
