Avowed Tier II Gear Guide

In *Avowed*, keeping your weapons upgraded is crucial for survival. Early in the game, you'll primarily encounter Common (Level I) weapons and enemies. However, as challenges escalate to Level II, you'll need Fine-quality gear to stay competitive. Here's your guide to obtaining Tier II/Fine weapons and armor in *Avowed*.

How to Upgrade Weapons and Armor from Common (I) to Fine (II)

While some Fine-quality gear appears as loot or in shops, most requires upgrading. *Avowed* tracks equipment effectiveness through Quality levels, indicated by descriptors, colors, and Roman numerals. Common (Green) items are Level I, while Fine (Blue) gear represents Level II. Between these tiers exist three incremental upgrades (+1 to +3).

To upgrade gear from Common to Fine, visit any Party Camp and use the workbench. Each +1 to +3 upgrade requires specific materials based on equipment type. After completing the +3 upgrade, you'll need Adra - a rare crystal obtained from quest rewards, merchants, or dismantling Unique gear for the final Quality boost.

Where to Find and Purchase Fine (II) Weapons and Armor

While upgrading is effective, it demands significant resources. Alternative ways to acquire Fine (II) gear include:

• Random drops from Level II enemies, particularly bounty targets
• Occasional finds in Dawnshore early-game
• Merchant purchases in Paradis (unlocked after defeating the Dreamscourge bear boss)

Note that Common gear underperforms against Level II foes - carry ample health potions when facing stronger enemies. In Paradis, visit the sister merchants near the Bounty Board: Merlylin specializes in magical implements (grimoires, wands), while her blacksmith sister offers standard weapons and armor.

This covers all methods for obtaining Fine-quality equipment in *Avowed*. Stay prepared as the challenges intensify!
