Item ranking

Like nearly everything in the world of cultivators, items are divided into different levels of value. There are five main levels and each is divided into the three sublevels of low, middle and high. Contrary to other things, items have no hard rules and most of them are categorised on the level of rarity (the rarer the higher), how easy it is to manufacture (the easier the lower), its effectiveness (the more effective the higher) and the worth of the combined materials (the more worth the higher). The levels are:
  Plebian: these items are almost always easy to manufacture, common and low in material cost. Things such as foundation pills and storage artefacts with a space below 8m³ all fall in this category.
Nobel: These items are often beginning to be more specialised in both element and function.
Royal: There are items that can be spirit bound, which enables only one person to summon and use it. The lowest value of these is Royal as below this it is considered a waste of material and energy to ad the benefit.
Empyrean: There are currently only five crafting masters capable of making items of this level. Two weapon smiths/ crafters, one seamstress, one jeweller, one armourer (leather and fabric)
Divine: There are very few artefacts of this level as either the materials are far too expensive or it is to difficult to manufacture. It is almost a rule that these items are the best of the best.
