2025-02-20 20:59:15 +0000 UTCMake sure you have at least one better quality upgraded weapon and armour before you go looting too much otherwise you’ll always get low quality loot and low quality materials that hold you back from further making quality upgrades.

2025-02-20 20:57:02 +0000 UTCInteresting how many notable mechanics in Avowed come directly from Pillars (no inventory limits, Second Wind, etc).
