Armor
Armor sets provide defense and stat bonuses. Each piece requires specific Crafting and Mining levels to forge at an Anvil.
Armor Progression
- Pale Leather — First armor from Percival's quest
- Bronze Set — Early crafted armor
- Rogue Set — Purchased from Gideon, ideal for early grinding
- Iron Set — Unlocked at Mining 15, Crafting 12
- Steel / Plasteel — Mid-game sets
- Cerise / Crimson — Late mid-game
- Aureatus Set — Endgame, requires Aureus Bars from Solar Altar
Shields
Shields enable blocking and parrying. Key shields include:
- Bronze Shield — Starter defense
- Iron Shield — Mid-game block stability
- Aureatus Shield — Best endgame shield with high stability
Blocking consumes stamina. When stamina depletes, your guard breaks and you become vulnerable. Parrying is often more efficient against humanoid enemies.
Potions
Craft potions at a Cauldron using gathered herbs and materials. Common potions:
- Health Potion — Restores HP
- Stamina Potion — Restores stamina for dodging and attacking
- Distilled Waters — Cleanses status effects
- Buff Potions — Temporary stat boosts to Power or Arcane
Potion recipes are listed on the Trello board and discovered through experimentation at the Cauldron.
Accessories
Rings and accessories provide passive bonuses. Notable items:
- Lionheart Ring — Increases damage at low HP (high risk, high reward)
- Frost Rings — Boost frost damage and Frostbite buildup
- Quivers — Toxic Quiver, Flare Quiver, Holy Quiver, Frost Quiver (offhand for bows)
Accessories are found in chests, dropped by bosses, or purchased from NPCs.
