What appeared before Jake was less of a list and more comparable to an online shop with pictures of items and everything. What had amazed him, however, was the sheer quality and quantity of goods available. He had expected for a few epic or maybe ancient level items to be there at most. It turns out he had been sorely mistaken.

[Spirehawk Longbow of Endless Embers (Legendary)]

[Blade of Material Rending (Legendary)]

[Spear of Illea (Legendary)]

… and the items continued like that. He was amazed and awed but soon found an issue. All of them were marked with a small red cross, and upon further inspection, found what it meant.

You do not meet the requirements to use this item

To make it all the more aggravating, it didn’t tell him what the requirements were for any of them. Like it was all just a big tease to annoy him. He could buy them, just not use them. However, his annoyance got better as he scrolled downwards where he did find some he could use, even legendary ones.

[Consuming Light (Legendary)]

[Boneblade of Umbra (Legendary)]

[Bow of Woe (Legendary)]

Of course, most of them being ones with ominous names or related to shadows, it appeared. He spent quite a while looking at the items but soon stopped as he noticed something else. In his excitement, he had missed a menu at the top. Putting his attention to it, a drop-down menu opened, and he had apparently picked the first option without even noticing.

Equipment: Weapons

Equipment: Armor

Equipment: Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous Items

Consumables

Skills: Profession

Skills: Race

Skills: Class

Custom (consult Guide for further help)

Jake got a bit giddy as he saw that he could get more than just a new dagger or bow. He had so many options he was frankly overwhelmed. He started slowly looking at some of the things under armor, considering what to do.

He must have spent nearly half an hour as he shook his head and put his attention away from the menu, trying to clear his head. He was overwhelmed with options that he found it paralyzing. He had so many points, and looking at some of the prices, he could get several legendary items if he wished… it was too much.

Instead, he tried to look a bit at the last option: custom.
