Accessories play a big part in making character builds forAvowed, and since players only have three slots for these items, they’ll need to be wise when it comes to choosing which ones to wear. One such accessory is Painter’s Brush, and it can be a key item in many DPS-oriented builds.
Enemies become very hard to kill inAvowed’shigher difficulty levels, and if you want to complete the game on Path of Damnation, you’ll need to squeeze out every bit of damage you may find from items and skills. Painter’s Brush can help you do exactly that, provided you can get to it.
Avowed: Painter’s Brush Location
You can findPainter’s Brushin a chest in the Emerald Stair, thesecond open region inAvowed. The chest is due south of theWildwood Outskirts Party Camp, which is across the bridge northwest of Fior mes Iverno.
To get Painter’s Brush, head to the map marker indicated in the image above. From the camp site, go directly south until you reach the cliff edge.There’s a cave in the lower portion of the cliff wall, and you’ll find Painter’s Brush inside a chest there.
The area surrounding the camp and cave are relatively safe. There should be no enemies roaming around, which is great considering how monsters in Wildwood are of Exceptional quality and above. You’ll need gear of matching quality in order to be at your most effective. Otherwise, your attacks will deal less damage and possibly bounce off of targets.
What Does Painter’s Brush Do?
This is a straightforward accessory occupying your Amulet slot thatincreases your critical hit chance by 5%. This isn’t much, but there are very few items in the game that increase your crit chance. This is especially useful forhigh-damage melee builds inAvowed, as you’re going to need all the damage you may get to compensate for a lack of magic.
Painter’s Brush is best paired with theCritical Strikepassive from the Ranger skill tree. This gives you an additional crit chance of 25%, with an extra 3-9% based on what weapon you’re using. If you want to build hard into critical strikes, take theDevastating Criticalsskill from the Fighter Tree as well to maximize your crit damage.
