I am creating a list of equipment (Armor/Tools/Weapons) for factions that are, and factions that have yet to come to pass. Sorry if some of these have been thought of before, but here is my collection of all ideas.

Non-Faction Oriented Equipment:

- Horn: Makes the sound of regular horns, thats it. Used if you either want to scare someone or just to be able to blow a horn before you charge.

- Shank: Crafted like a knife but with stone, used for shanking things.

- Poisoned Arrows: Fairly self-explanatory. Crafted with arrow and bottle of poison.

- Generic Player Shields: Just like how there are titles for beginners, why not basic shields without insignias or crests.

Good:

Gondor:

-  Númenórean Armor/Weapons: Númenórean equipment would be made of Númenórean Steel on either a Ranger or Gondorian crafting table. Though the process of making more Númenórean Steel has been lost to the ages, ingots and pieces of it can be found in the ruins of old Gondor and Arnor. Also, any Gondorian equipment that would usually be made using pieces from the Dead Marshes should instead make Númenórean items rather than Gondorian. Númenórean Armor should have the same stats as Dwarven, Uruk, and Black Uruk armors, while weapons should be more around the quality of Utunmo gear, but with a higher durabillity.

- Númenórean Hollowed Steel Bow: The Númenóreans were famed for the use of their steel bows. These bows should do more damage and shoot farther than any other bow, but at the drawback (Ba dum tss) of having much worse draw speed than any other.

- Mithril-trimmed Gondorian Armor: The Tower Guard were once said to have worn whole helmets of mithril, now they have become precious heirlooms among Gondorians. This armor shouldn't provide any more protection but should offer a visual enhancement similar to the Mithril-trimmed Dwarven Armor. Gondorian Tower Guards should have a rare chance of spawning with a full set of it on.

Rohan:

- Rohirric Officer Armor: This armor would be created like many other armors, by using all iron ingots on a Rohirric Crafting Table this armor would be created. It would be visually similar to the old Rohirric armor and offer as much protection as a set of Gondorian armor.

- Rohirric Officer Sword: This sword would look very similar to Herugrim (Theoden's sword) and provide a slight amount more damage than the regular Rohirric swords.

Rangers of the North:

- Númenórean Armor/Weapons: As stated above.

- Númenórean Hollowed Steel Bow: As stated above. Could be used by more elite Ranger units such as the Grey Company if they are added.

Durin's Folk/Blue Mountains:

- Dwarven Crossbows: With the dwarves being such great engineers and crafstmen, it is entirely logical to assume that they could have created a crossbow. This crossbow would function the same as other crossbows, but have the same stats as the Uruk Crossbow.

- Black Arrows: Possibly found in old dwarven and Rhovanion ruins. Should do a significant amount of damage extra. (Windlance maybe?)

Elves:

- High Elven/Galadhrim/Wood Elf Leather Armor: Would be worn by Elven Archers, provides the same protection and stealth effect as the Ranger Armor.

- Mallorn Spear: A spear, but made with Mallorn sticks and a plank. Does less damage than Mallorn sword, but has a longer reach.

Hobbits: 

- Hobbit Tools/Weapons: Basically smaller and less effective versions of regular tools, but they look normal on hobbits. Crafted like regular iron tools, but on Hobbit Crafting Tables when they are added.

On Nobody's Side Because Nobody is on Their Side:

Fangorn:

Ent Branch: Literally a branch from an Ent, sometimes drops from Ents and Huorns. Maybe like 4 attack damage, why would anyone use this?

Evil:

Angmar:

- Angmar Uruk Armor/Weapons: Crafted using Uruk Steel on an Angmar Crafting Table. Has the same stats as regular Uruk Armor and looks more Angmar-y. Would be used by the Uruks of Mordor sent to Gundabad and Angmar. Crafted by using Black Uruk Steel on an Angmar Crafting Table.

- Troll Club: Club 'liberated' from a dead troll or cache, should have the reach of a spear and damage of a warhammer. But it should have an incredibly low speed around 30% due to it being challenging to use for anyone but a troll.

Gundabad:

- Gundabad Armor: Armor created by using orc steel on a Gundabad Crafting Table. The armor should look very varied as if put together with many scavenged pieces of armor. Should have the protection of regular iron armor. Should be found mismatched on Gundabad Orcs as per usual.

- Gundabad Uruk Armor: Armor worn by the Uruks of Mordor sent to Gundabad and Angmar. Has the same stats as Angmar Uruk Armor, but should look similar to Bolg's armor. Crafted with Black Uruk Steel on a Gundabad Crafting Table.

- Gundabad Weapons: Weapons crafted in the manner of iron tools on a Gundabad Crafting Table, should have the same stats as iron weaponry, but look much more crude than other weapons.

Uruk-Hai:

- Berserker Sword: A large sword with two points on the end, the same as used by Uruk-Hai berserkers. (Who would have thought?) Should have the damage and speed of a warhammer, with the range of a regular sword.

Dol Guldur: 

- Dol Guldur Uruk Armor: Armor worn by the Uruks of Dol Guldur. Has the same stats as Angmar and Gundabad Uruk Armor, but looks similar to other Uruk Armors with a Dol Guldur tint.

Dunland:

- Dunlending Berserker Armor: Should be found on Dunlending Berserkers, has the appearance of a large wolf pelt with belts and pouches. Provides the same protection as bone armor.

Mordor: 

- Slave Rags: Crafted by using wool in the fashion of regular armor in a Mordor Crafting Table. Provides no protection against anything and is used more as a vanity/rp item than anything.

Near Harad:

- Harad Scale Mail: Armor crafted the same as Rohirric armor. Looks more like the armor worn in the movies by Haradrim soldiers with scales. Provides the same protection as Rohirric armor.

Moredain:

- Moredain Javelins: Javelins with the same functions as spears without the melee capabilities, crafted using the spear recipe with cobblestone instead of ingots. Can be stacked up to 16.

Tauredain:

- Tauredain Bola: A bola is a weapon used by the Inca which consisted of a few ropes weaved together with stones/sharp objects on the end. They were thrown to incapacitate an enemy by binding them and/or tripping them. They could be crafted with a string and two cobblestone in a line. When hit with a Bola one will recieve slowness for a few seconds and a minor bit of damage.

Half-Trolls:

- Half-Troll Tomahawk: Used in the same manner as regular throwing axes, but crafted using stone and does less damage.

More will be added as ideas and changes come in. And I may start making ideas for future factions.
