Your hero has three gear slots: weapon, armor and trinket, and a pack for spare finds. Gear needs your hero to be at its level before you can equip it.
What gear does
- HP adds to your hero's max HP; Damage adds that percentage to every hit.
- Your hero's HP also grows by 0.5% of its base each level, and its damage by one percent every 5 levels. With gear, the bonus tops out at +15% HP and +25% damage.
- Your companion takes a 30% share of your equipped gear's HP and damage bonus, rounded down. It has no gear of its own.
- Guard is listed on some armor, but it does nothing in a tactics fight.
- Gear never makes strays stronger.
- Armor also changes your hero's look, from ragged to light, medium and heavy.

Drops
Each won fight has a 15% chance to drop a piece of gear, if your pack has room. It comes from the region's own drop list, close to your hero's level, and rarer pieces turn up less often: a rare half as often as a common, an epic a quarter as often.
| Region | Stray levels | World biomes |
|---|---|---|
| Sunny Meadow | 1–3 | heath, scrubland |
| Pebble Brook | 3–6 | brookland, fen |
| Old Oak | 5–8 | woodland |
| Fern Hollow | 7–10 | glimmer, rootways |
