Item types intro
I'm not doing a full guide/beginner guide, so I'll just write a little and get to the "good stuff".

So, if you have played Risk of Rain, most of the variety will be known to you. The main difference is that while RoR had active items equiped, here we have equipped items that are passive, but can be upgraded.

Now, for you who never heard about Risk of Rain, I suggest you take a look into them, it's a great game, both 1 and 2, with the 1st one being very similar to Ancient: Legacy of Azul, but with a space/alien/future theme. :D
So, there are 4 item categories: white, blue, yellow and purple. This mainly dictates its price, specific power/effect and/or rarity to get in a chest. They make you stronger, some more or less than others depending on the class you choose and the build you are trying. For most of them, the more the merrier. But for the pink items you can only equip one at a time. They give a substantial positive effect that can be upgraded with a specific currency (Azul Cristals, the blue Orb on the upper left corner of the screen). If you buy another copy of the same purple item they will not stack! And you wasted precious resources...

Now then, to the goodies!
