InAvowed,the rarity system for all armor pieces works slightly differently than most modern RPGs. While there are a wide range of quality levels for basic gear, starting fairly early in the game, you will likely focus solely on equipping pieces ofUnique Armor. Once you find a Unique set that fits your playstyle, you will only use the basic armor pieces for crafting materials and money. This does not mean you will not be changing your loadout. Each region features a long list of Unique items, and you are certainly encouraged to experiment. In this guide, we’ll show youwhere to find every Unique armor piece in Dawnshore,Avowed’s first major region.
