Avowed: Tier II/Fine Gear Acquisition Guide

In Avowed, upgrading your weaponry is crucial for survival. Early game encounters feature Common (Level I) weapons and enemies. However, as you progress, you'll face Level II foes, demanding superior Fine (Tier II) equipment. This guide details how to acquire and improve your gear.

Upgrading from Common (I) to Fine (II):

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

To upgrade to Fine (II), you must first reach +3 by using workbenches located in Party Camps. Each upgrade level (+1, +2, +3) requires specific materials depending on the gear type. The final upgrade to Fine (II) necessitates Adra, a rare crystal obtained through quests, merchant purchases, or dismantling Unique items.

Locating and Purchasing Fine (II) Weapons and Armor:

Upgrading consumes significant resources. Alternatively, you can find Fine (II) gear early in Dawnshore, though it's uncommon. Level II enemies, especially Bounties, sometimes drop Fine (II) equipment. However, Common gear is ineffective against Level II enemies, so carry ample health potions.

Merchants in Paradis also sell Fine (II) items. Access to Paradis is granted after defeating the Dreamscourge bear boss in Dawnshore. Two sisters operate adjacent stalls: Merlylin sells magical items (grimoires, wands), while her blacksmith sister offers standard weapons and armor (as pictured).

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