Decked
From RoK Wiki
A "Decked" item just means that the item has all of the modifications that a player can add to make it better, either give more armor or hit harder. You'll be able to see what modifications an item has by examining it. Here's a breakdown of all the things a decking requires:
- Soulbinding is a Cleric spell that binds an item to the soul of the holder so they don't drop it when they die. It requires a moonstone and all the caster's mana points, sometimes up to 400 points. Clerics can buy the Soulbind spell at level 16, and have a small chance of fizzling. If the spell fizzles, you lose the moonstone (and your mana).
- Enchanting is performed by a Sorceror and takes half of the caster's mana. Level 24 and 25 Sorcerors/Enchanters can Bright enchant, which is the best any player can do. Enchant comes in four levels, Dull, Soft, Bright, and Brilliant. The first three are based on a players level, the strength of the enchant increasing with the caster's level. Brilliantly enchanted items are usually given out by Staff as prizes in some events. Each level of enchant adds 4ac (armor count) to body armor, 2ac to helms and shields, and approximately 5-10 damage points to weapons. Prices for enchants can vary greatly, but you can often find someone who will just do it for the cost of mana, or sometimes free, so ask around some.
- Blessing, like soulbinding, this takes all of the caster's mana, and can be performed by level 23 or higher Clerics and level 25 Paladins. This endows a blessing from the god of the caster's divinity. Each bless adds one ac to body armor. Shields and Helms cannot be blessed. Each divinity's blessing will allow a weapon to do greater damage against a follower of an opposing divinity. Again, prices vary depending on the person.
A fully decked item will have the following in it's description:
The (item name) radiates with the power of fire, ice, earth, storm, and night. The (item name) is enchanted, and glows brightly. Embedded in the surface of the (item name) is a moonstone that glows softly.
It's usually not worth it to get basic store-bought items fully decked, so consider holding onto your gold until you get a OaD or higher level store-bought item. If you're paying someone perform any spell on an item make sure that you have the transaction moderated by a Staff member. If you need to prioritize these things, the one thing you should put at the top of your list is the soulbind. It's not worth spending any other gold if you drop the item the first time you die.
