What do these gear stats mean/do?

Question

I just started playing EQ since it's free now. I'm a lvl 7 noob, and I'm confused about some of the gear stats. Are there any good websites out there that explains what lots of the in-game stuff does?

More specifically, can somebody explain what these mean/do: Rec Lvl, AC (accuracy?), End (phys. defense?), Purity, Magic (and are the stats underneath it for offense or defense?), Clairvoyance, Modified/Unmodified, and Slot/Type. If you don't want to take the time to explain all those, please at least tell me what Rec Lvl and AC do. Thanks for your time.

I have personally played EQ but looking at the wiki, i found this page.

Item Stat Explination

So to answer your questions:

Rec LvL: Recommended Level. This means to what level your toon can wear the item before it becomes obsolete.

AC = Armor Class or Count. This is your armor level. Like other games, the higher your armor level, the more physical damage reduction you have.

End = Endurance. Reading it from the list, this seems to be your energy regeneration for classes that do not use mana. This is usually for rogue style classes.

Purity = This seems to be a stat regarding modification. From the link i provided, it talks about how the level of purity is tied to the level of enchantment you can use on it.

Magic = Unsure but for most RPG games i've played, this is typically your Magic Resistance. It should work that the higher your magic level, the more resistance to damage from that family of magic.

Clairvoyance = This according to the link refers to the efficiency of your spell casting. In other words, the higher the clairvoyance, the more mana you gain back.

Modified/Unmodified = Applies to whether the item has been modified through enchantments or other items.

Slot/Type = not really sure...

Hope that helps.
