Just lost all my gear

[Manga suspeita]

Fighting a random enemy, i just basically lost all the gear that i accuride by playing 17 hours. Is there any way to prevent this or get it back?

WIthout more info it's hard to say. First thing that comes to mind is watch out for enemies with fire, if you're wearing/carrying things that aren't fireproof. There are other mechanics like that, acid is one.

In addition to Fire attacks having a chance to burn items to ashes, and Acid attacks melting them away, you also have to watch out for Ice attacks freezing and shattering things.

Some items can be Fireproof or Acidproof, but I haven't seen anything that's innately freeze/shatterproof.

There are items called Blankets you can either find in shops or craft that come in fire/freezeproof varieties that, when held in the person's inventory, will protect items from being incinerated/shattered, but these items have limited charges before they disappear, so you'll want to carry multiple if you feel you'll run into such situations.

Now for acid, there's no blanket, but you can find a potion called "Acidproof Potion".
You don't drink this one, but you open the extended menu (like via Middle-click or pressing 'R') and select the "Blend" option. This will let you coat an item to make it acidproof.

15 and up fire & ice resistance or fire &ice blankets
fire proofing gear with material change
to make things acids proof when you find a bottle of acidproof liquid blend it with your gear

Permanently destroying players items seems to be a questionable gameplay decision at best

[Darx]

this should only happen if you wear stuff made out of fabric, plastic and so on.
either try to craft blankets or upgrade your stuff with material hammers to be stone/steel/obsidian.

I do agree with this haha. First time I fought a fire breathing dog I ended up losing half my items and a quarter of my gear. I'm prepared for it now but it was a huge setback at the time.

Not permanently destroying players items in a roguelike is a questionable gameplay decision.
