🧵 Gear & Traits: gear only affects Offense and Defense stats — appearance is cosmetic (use the Loom to apply Traits and Transfiguration to restyle). Upgrade gear at the Loom with beast materials, and reroll Traits for the ones your build wants. Keep your highest-level gear and sell the rest to free inventory slots.
