GEAR

Weapons & Gear

Gear is found and upgraded per expedition. Match your weapon's damage type to the Nightlord you're chasing.

Gearing up

  • Loot weapons from chests, bosses and merchants; upgrade at the smithing points.
  • Pick affinities (fire, lightning, holy) that hit the target Nightlord's weakness.
  • Talismans and passives from the run round out survivability and damage.
  • Your Nightfarer's skill and Ultimate matter more than any single weapon — build around them.
