Upgrading your weapons in Avowed is crucial for survival. Early game weapons are Common (I), but you'll quickly encounter Level II enemies requiring Fine (II) gear. Here's how to acquire and upgrade to Tier II/Fine weapons and armor:
Upgrading to Fine (II) Quality:
Weapons and armor in Avowed have a Quality level indicated by a descriptor, color, and Roman numeral (I, II, etc.). To upgrade from Common (I) to Fine (II), you must first upgrade through three intermediate levels (+1, +2, +3) at a Party Camp workbench. Each upgrade requires specific materials. The final upgrade to Fine (II) necessitates Adra, a rare crystal obtained through quests, merchant purchases, or dismantling Unique items.
Finding and Purchasing Fine (II) Weapons and Armor:
While upgrading is effective, it's resource-intensive. Alternatively, you can find Fine (II) gear early in Dawnshore, though it's uncommon. Level II enemies, particularly Bounties, may drop Fine (II) equipment. However, Common gear is significantly less effective against Level II foes, so stock up on health potions.
Fine (II) weapons and armor are also sold by merchants in Paradis. Access to Paradis is granted after defeating the Dreamscourge bear boss in Dawnshore. Two sisters operate nearby stalls; one (Merlylin) sells magical items, while the other offers standard weapons and armor (as pictured above).
By utilizing these methods, you can ensure your character is adequately equipped to face the challenges of Avowed.
