Items??

Just a simple question ---- roughly how many items are there/will there be in GW??

Infinite, since there are not set Properties for rare or regular items the possiblitites of what might drop are endless. And there is no set number of how many of one item can be in the world at a time.

But you are talking about types, then there are the following: Swords, Axes, Hammers, Shieds, Foci, Wands, Staves, an assortment of crafting materials, Armor, Runes, and maybe some other things that I am missing.

I think what ur forgetting is Bows.
