Focus effects are reworked here. They're not based on level. Improved Damage I is a 5% increase to all spells, II is 10%, III is 15%, etc.
In classic REEQ, the only gear that has focus effects is Plane of Sky class sets. Veeshan's Peak will have level II focus effects, etc.
Strength, Dexterity, and Agility will be much more useful. A rogue will seek a +5 str item the same as an int caster will seek a +5 int item.
There will be no research and currently each class a high end spell drop from Plane of Hate / Fear. I'm not against questing for high end spells and there may be some in Kunark and Velious, but its a lot more easier to just have the spell drop directly than to have the components drop and then needed to be turned in. Although I do understand it makes it a lot more interesting to have to discover what components are needed and where the quest is at, etc. It's just more work to code the quests, really.
Also, all classes will be able to obtain gear sets from Fear or Hate. For example, amygdalans in Fear and ashenbone drakes in Hate are on the same loot table, all drop full sets of Umbral armor, an SK weapon, and a high end spell (Life Leech, in this case). Every class will have a specific mob in each plane that drops their armor + a class weapon or spell, or both in the case of hybrids.
