Mini Alert Feat as an item?

[Auron]

Are there any items I can get in act 3 that gives a similar effect? I have a low dex paladin-warlock, and I want to be a bit higher in the initiative order without spending a feat on alert.

Elixir of Vigilance. It's "alert" in a bottle.

Gloves of dexterity can be good too

Here's a list: https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Initiative#Initiative_bonuses

Standout options are Elixir of Vigilance, Hellrider Longbow, Sentinel Shield. But if you are looking specifically for something that is Alert-like and easily accessible, rather than just a boost to initiative, you are basically looking at Elixir of Vigilance.

If you are using a shield, Sentinel shield is good option. For ranged weapons, Hellrider longbow gives a bonus to initiative. For two-handers, both Soulbreaker greatsword and Halberd of vigilance give small boosts to initiative.

When it comes to initiative, two-handers often need Alert (or elixir of vigilance) to reliably go first, especially if they're wearing heavy armor. Mask of soul perception is decent if you really want initiative, too.

Gloves of dex (late act 1), there's a bow in early act 1 which gives +1 initiative, Fistbreaker helmet (early act 2), Sentinel Shield (early act 2), and a halberd and a 2h sword.
