There are 3 Equipment Request types the weapons and shields fall under: * Balance * Combat * Mystic This is very straightforward as very few equips created at a workshop require a specific focus. Equips with the Shielding/Parrying/Might/Power/Serpentis prefixes/suffix can only be used by units that are Combat focused. Equips with the Enchanted/Aura/Runic/Orphic/Crystallus prefixes/suffix can only be used by units that are Mystic focused. Almost everything not containing those prefixes/suffix can be requested with any focus. Accessory Requests follow similar request mechanisms.
