Tier II/Fine Weapons, Armor Now Available in Avowed

In Avowed, upgrading your weaponry is crucial for survival. Early game encounters feature Common (Level I) weapons and enemies, but the difficulty quickly escalates to Level II, demanding Fine (Tier II) equipment. This guide details obtaining Tier II/Fine weapons and armor.

Upgrading Weapons and Armor:

While some Fine Quality gear can be found or purchased, others require upgrading. Avowed uses a two-part system to gauge gear effectiveness: Quality (indicated by descriptor, color, and Roman numeral) and upgrade levels (+1 to +3). Common (I) gear is green, while Fine (II) gear is blue.

To upgrade from Common (I) to Fine (II), utilize workbenches located at Party Camps. Each upgrade level (+1 to +3) demands specific materials. After reaching +3, upgrade to Fine (II) using Adra, a rare crystal obtained through quests, merchant purchases, or dismantling Unique items.

Upgrading consumes significant resources. Alternatively, Fine (II) weapons and armor occasionally appear in Dawnshore early in the game. Level II enemies, especially Bounties, may also drop Fine gear. However, Common gear proves ineffective against Level II foes, necessitating ample health potions.

Paradis merchants offer Fine (II) items for purchase. Access to Paradis unlocks after defeating the Dreamscourge bear boss in Dawnshore. Two sisters operate nearby stalls: Merlylin sells magical items (grimoires, wands), while her blacksmith sister sells standard weapons and armor (pictured above).

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