How to Obtain Tier II/Fine Gear in Avowed

In *Avowed*, keeping your weapons and armor upgraded is crucial for tackling the game's increasing challenges. At the start, you'll mostly encounter Common, or Level I, weapons and enemies. As you progress, these will scale up to Level II, necessitating Fine, or Level II, gear to keep up with the heightened difficulty. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire Tier II/Fine weapons and armor in *Avowed*.

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

In *Avowed*, gear effectiveness is measured in two ways: Quality and Levels. Quality is indicated by a descriptor, color, and Roman numeral. Common gear, marked in green, is denoted as I, while Fine gear, marked in blue, is denoted as II. Each Quality level is further divided into three sub-levels, ranging from +1 to +3.

To upgrade your gear from Common (I) to Fine (II), you'll need to visit a Party Camp, where you'll find a workbench dedicated to upgrading your equipment. You must sequentially upgrade through each sub-level from +1 to +3, with each requiring specific materials based on the gear type. Once you reach the +3 sub-level, you can then upgrade to Fine (II), which requires Adra, a rare and valuable crystal. Adra can be obtained through Quest rewards, purchased from Merchants, or by breaking down Unique weapons and armor.

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

While upgrading is a viable option, it can be resource-intensive. Alternatively, you can find Fine (II) weapons and armor within the Living Lands, particularly in Dawnshore, though these are rare. Fine gear can drop from Level II enemies, especially from Bounties. However, using Common gear against Level II enemies can be risky due to lower damage output and reduced resistance, so ensure you have ample health potions on hand.

Fine weapons and armor are also available for purchase from Merchants in Paradis. You'll gain access to Paradis shortly after defeating the Dreamscourge-infested bear boss in Dawnshore during the early stages of the Main Quest. In Paradis, a pair of sister Merchants near the Bounty Board offer Fine gear. Merlylin specializes in magical items like grimoires and wands, while her blacksmith sister sells more conventional weapons and armor, as shown in the image above.

That's your guide to acquiring Fine weapons and armor in *Avowed*. Keep your gear up to date to ensure you're ready for whatever challenges the game throws at you!
