How AoY Handles Vanilla ContentVanilla items are not always left untouched on Age of Ymir. Some drops are redistributed globally, some refinement materials are grouped into custom progression paths, and many weapons, armors, and loots are adjusted to better fit server balance. The database pages below are the best place to verify whether an item belongs to one of these custom groups.

What These Groups Mean
| Group | What Changed | Why It Matters | Database |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global Item Drops | Selected items are no longer tied to only one narrow source and can appear through broader server drop design. | Useful for farming routes, market pricing, and knowing which formerly niche items are more accessible. | Open |
| Refinement Ores | Refining materials are grouped into a more deliberate custom progression structure. | Important for upgrade planning, refining costs, and understanding how AoY expects players to progress their gear. | Open |
| Enchantment Scrolls | Custom enchantment-related scrolls are grouped together for easier browsing and planning. | Helpful when checking how AoY handles enchant progression, gear enhancement options, and scroll-based item customization. | Open |
| Generally Modified Items | These are items with notable balance or functional updates compared to their vanilla forms. | Best starting point if you want to check whether a familiar item behaves differently on AoY. | Open |
| Artifact Weapons | Custom weapon entries are separated into their own category for easier browsing. | Useful for build planning and identifying high-impact custom weapons that do not exist in standard vanilla progression. | Open |
| Modified Armors | Armor pieces with custom stats, bonuses, or progression roles are tracked together. | Helps players verify whether a defensive item has been rebalanced before investing in it. | Open |
| Modified Weapons | Weapons with custom numbers, effects, or role updates are grouped here. | Critical when comparing vanilla expectations against AoY balance for class progression and farming efficiency. | Open |
| Nerfed Loots | Some vanilla loot values or utility have been reduced to better control inflation and item flow. | Important for farming expectations, vendor routes, and understanding why some classic Zeny targets perform differently on AoY. | Open |
What Players Should Expect
Reading AoY Items Correctly
- If an item feels familiar from vanilla, always check its AoY database entry before assuming the stats, value, or purpose are unchanged.
- Refinement and equipment progression are part of the server's broader custom balance, so upgrade materials and gear power are intentionally curated.
- Some loots are adjusted downward to protect the economy, while other item groups are expanded to support smoother progression and build diversity.
- Artifact and modified equipment categories are especially important for players planning class builds beyond early vanilla expectations.
Best Practice:Treat the live database as the final reference. This wiki page helps organize the major custom vanilla item groups, but the item records themselves are where you should confirm exact effects, refine behavior, and current balancing.
