👙 Gear

Helmet and Body Armor are your unique item treasures. You’ll find them dropping randomly but keep an eye out in specific monoliths like “Black Sun” and “Blood, Frost, and Death”. And don’t forget, until your gear makes you invincible against critical hits, the “Woven Flesh” armor is your best friend.

For your off-hand, start simple with a catalyst that boosts your damage and resistances. Dream big and aim for the “Crystal Skull” catalyst to double your damage with its critical strike chance boost.

🔎 Gear Tips:

• Look out for stats that boost your damage like Adaptive Spell Damage, Spell Critical Strike Chance, and Shock on hit.
• Don’t skimp on the defense – Critical Strike Avoidance, Health, and Resistances will keep you standing.
