[Taylor]

Item Rarity & Item Grade
All items in the game have been assigned a rarity.
- Rarity range is as follows:
-> Bronze
-> Silver
-> Gold

- Bronze items are the most common while Gold items are the rarest items.
- Item name text will now have the following colors when viewed the inventory or Emporium:
-> Bronze rarity items: Bronze Text Color
-> Silver rarity items: Silver Text Color
-> Gold rarity items: Gold Text Color

- Users will be able to sort by rarity in the inventory or Emporium.
- All currently existing items in your inventory will properly display their rarity.
- All items in the game have been assigned a grade.
- Item Grade is used to provide a quick snapshot of overall power.

- Item Grade is ranked as follows:
-> 1-Star
-> 2-Star
-> 3-Star
-> 3-Star items are the highest grade while 1-Star is the lowest
-> All items will have both a grade and a rarity assigned to them.

Price Rebalance
Pricing has been changed to reflect the new rarity system.
- Weapons of lower rarity will be less expensive compared to weapons of higher
rarity (Example: A Single Bronze Star Item will cost less than a Single Silver Star Item.)

Flexible Acquisition
The majority of the items in the Emporium have been converted to the Flexible Acquisition system.
- The Flexible Acquisition system does the following:
-> Items that are included in the system can be rented for 1-Day for GP
-> Items that are included in the system can be rented for 1-Day for NX or
purchased for permanent duration for NX.
- Some items previously not sold for permanent duration will now be available
for purchase for permanent duration for NX.

- Items that are excluded from the Flexible Acquisition system:
-> Consumable items (Megaphones, Super Elite Moderator, Ect.)
-> Cosmetic Items

- 1-Day GP rentals have the following restrictions:
-> GP rentals weapons are unable to be customized
-> GP rentals weapons are unable to be forged
-> GP rentals weapons cannot stack rental durations
(Example: You purchase a 1-day GP rental for an AK-47.
You cannot rent the AK-47 again until duration expires on the current rental.)
-> Once the rental period ends on an item you are free to rent the item again.
-> 1-Day GP rental items cannot be discarded. You must allow for the item to
expire before it can be removed from your inventory.
-> There is no limitation on the amount of 1-Day GP rentals you can have.
(Example: You can have 10 1-Day GP rented guns and 30 1-Day GP
rented gear items as long as you possess the required GP to rent the items.)

- Rank restrictions are still in place for all items.
- Weapons that required a specific rank to purchase still have the rank restrictions associated with them.

- Also included in the Flexible Acquisition system is the new HiSec case: The Ghost HiSec
-> The Ghost HiSec will contain gear and weapons better than either the discontinued
Black or Grey HiSec case. This includes 1- & 2-Gold star weapons.
-> Keys for the Ghost HiSec can be purchased for either NX or GP.

The Equipment Evaluation system is designed to allow users to directly compare weapons and gear in a streamlined fashion.

- Right-Clicking on an item in the Emporium or your Inventory will enable the Equipment Evaluation system.
- Selecting another item will bring up a side by side comparison of both items.
- The relative gains and losses of stats between the two items will be displayed in red
(negative) or green(positive) numbers next to the item’s statistics.
