Avowed features an upgrade system that allows players to enhance their gear using various materials. While the system isn't overly complex, it does require players to gather specific items depending on what they want to upgrade. Here’s a breakdown of every upgrade material and how to obtain them.

Upgrade Item Types

Herb

Herbs are essential for upgrading all types of gear. Since they are limited in quantity, it's important to prioritize their use wisely. You can obtain herbs by collecting them in designated herb spots, looting chests, or purchasing them from traders.

Wood

Wooden upgrade materials are used for shields, wands, and bows. These materials can be found in chests, purchased from armor or weapon traders, or salvaged from dismantling wooden gear.

Metal

Metal is required to upgrade melee weapons such as swords, daggers, and maces. You can obtain metal by opening chests, buying from traders, or salvaging metal weapons.

Armor Material

Armor materials are needed for upgrading armor pieces. These materials can be looted from chests, bought from traders, or obtained by breaking down armor pieces.

Adra

Adra is a special material required to upgrade gear to the next tier. You can find Adra in secret chests, purchase it from specific traders, or obtain it by dismantling unique weapons and armor.

Where To Find Upgrade Items By Tier

Each gear piece must be upgraded three times within its tier before advancing to the next. Unique gear can be upgraded to the Legendary tier, while some standard gear has lower upgrade caps.

Common upgrade materials can be found in Dawnshore. Fine materials are available in Emerald Stairs. Exceptional materials are located in Shatterscarp. Superb materials can be found in Galawain's Tusk. Legendary materials are mainly found in The Garden. However, higher-tier enemies in lower-tier areas may also drop better upgrade materials, so it’s worth engaging in challenging fights.
