Unlock Legendary Arsenal in Avowed: Tier II Weapons and Armor Revealed

In Avowed, upgrading your weaponry is crucial for survival. Early game encounters primarily involve Common (Level I) weapons and enemies. However, as the difficulty increases to Level II, you'll require Fine (Tier II) gear. This guide details how to acquire and upgrade to this superior equipment.

Upgrading Weapons and Armor from Common (I) to Fine (II)

While some Fine Quality weapons and armor are directly obtainable through drops or merchants, others require upgrading. Avowed uses a dual-tier system to measure gear effectiveness: Quality and Level. Quality is indicated by a descriptor, color, and Roman numeral. Common (I) gear is green, while Fine (II) gear is blue. Three intermediate levels (+1 to +3) exist between each Quality tier.

To upgrade from Common (I) to Fine (II), utilize the workbenches located at Party Camps. Each intermediate level (+1 to +3) demands specific materials. Upon reaching +3, you can upgrade to Fine (II) using Adra, a rare crystal often obtained from quests, merchants, or by dismantling Unique items.

Finding and Purchasing Fine (II) Weapons and Armor

While upgrading is effective, it's resource-intensive. Alternatively, Fine (II) gear can occasionally spawn in Dawnshore early in the game, particularly as loot from Level II enemies and Bounties. However, Common gear is significantly less effective against Level II foes, so ample health potions are recommended.

Paradis, accessible after a key early-game boss fight in Dawnshore, offers another avenue. Twin merchants near the Bounty Board sell Fine gear: Merlylin provides magical items (grimoires, wands), while her blacksmith sister offers standard weapons and armor (pictured above).

This concludes your guide to obtaining Fine weapons and armor in Avowed.
