Hot to Get Tier II/Fine Weapons and Armor in Avowed

In *Avowed*, keeping your weapons and armor upgraded is crucial for staying ahead in the game. At the start, you'll encounter mostly Common, or Level I, weapons and enemies. As you progress, however, the difficulty ramps up to Level II, necessitating Fine, or Level II, gear to handle the increased challenge. 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*, some weapons and armor are available as Fine Quality from the start, either by spawning in the world or being purchasable. However, other pieces will need upgrading to reach Fine status. Gear effectiveness in *Avowed* is tracked through two metrics: Quality and Level. Quality is indicated by a descriptor, color, and Roman numeral. Common items, shown in green, are marked with I, while Fine items, shown in blue, are marked with II. Additionally, each Quality tier 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. Each Party Camp features a workbench where you can enhance your weapons and armor. You'll need to sequentially upgrade through the +1, +2, and +3 levels, each requiring specific materials that vary based on the type of gear. After reaching the +3 level, you can upgrade to Fine (II), which requires Adra, a rare and valuable crystal. Adra can be obtained by completing Quests, purchasing from Merchants, or by breaking down Unique weapons and armor.

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

While upgrading gear is a viable strategy, it can be resource-intensive. If you're looking for alternative ways to acquire Fine (II) weapons and armor within the Living Lands, you might find them in Dawnshore early in your gameplay, though these are rare. Fine (II) gear can also drop from Level II enemies, particularly from Bounties. Keep in mind, using Common gear against Level II enemies can be less effective, so it's wise to carry ample health potions.

You can also purchase Fine weapons and armor from Merchants in Paradis. Access to Paradis is granted shortly after defeating the Dreamscourge-infested bear boss in Dawnshore, early in the Main Quest. Near the Bounty Board in Paradis, you'll find a pair of sister Merchants. Merlylin specializes in Fine items for magic users, like grimoires and wands, while her blacksmith sister offers a range of standard Fine weapons and armor at the adjacent stall (as shown in the image above).

By following these methods, you'll be well-equipped with Fine weapons and armor in *Avowed*, ready to tackle the challenges ahead.
