World Item

World Items (ワールドアイテム, Wārudoaitemu) or World Class Item (世界級アイテム, Sekaikyū Aitemu) are the most powerful and dangerous legendary items in YGGDRASIL, as they possess massive power that could damage the game's balance, thus, earning them the term "Balance Breakers".

Overview
In all of YGGDRASIL, there were only 200 World items.

Each of them had their own unique ability, and some were powerful enough to destroy the game's balance. Of course, not all of the World items had such game-breaking abilities. Even so, if a player managed to get hold a World class item, that player's reputation in Yggdrasil would jump to the highest level. Effects of a world class item can be resisted in only two ways : (1) Owning another world class item. (2) Getting special classes.

Twenty
"Twenty" is the name of 20 world items that are unrivaled in terms of power. All of them could only be used once. If one needs to use it again, one should find the item all over again, regardless of difficulty of the process.
