Lack of gear
Why is this game so lacking in gears? I traveled to 3 cities already and still don't have enough unique/legendary gears to equip my squad, Bosses don't drop gears either so my squad all look like hobos with bits and pieces of gear that don't look good together.

They need to put more legendary stuffs in armor and weapon shops, also an option to change the look of your armor would be nice, for example you need Xoti to be more tanky but you prefer her original look, then you just equip her with a heavy armor without changing her look by clicking on a button.

The best item I like is the talking sword, I wouldnt mind finding poweful stuff like that. I found a neclace of dragon summoning on a island in the middle of nowhere. Like I said every party member I have has legendary gear on them and Iam level 8.

Yeah, they could double it and it would still be too little. I sadly have everything memorized its so sparse.

Hopefully, expansions will add more to the base game as well.

If you had access to nothing but unique gear, then standard gear would be useless. I think it's ok to use something basic like a "Superb Sword" every once in a while.

Also, next free update is going to include a cosmetic option, so if you like Xoti's default look, you'll get to keep it without sacrificing stats.

A developer of this app has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

That's some good news, Xoti looks much sexier with her default outfit than the heavy paladin armor I gave her.

There's plenty of unique gear, not everything is sold in the shops.

The lack of gear (especially weapons) was the biggest issue I had with the game. Don't get me wrong, I loved the game. However, I went the entire game without finding a single magical battle axe or mace. Many of the weapons, I only found one magical of. I only came across two artifact weapons, one was the talking sword and the other the volgue (pollaxe). I only found one grimoire that actually did something else other than have spells. Then they had like 6 different magical sabers. Then lets not get to the upgrading of equipment. I went the whole game and never came across a troll skin, so I never could utilize some of the upgrade options, even on starting equipment. That was just dumb.

Not that I had a real problem with gear, but you can see from your list a few holes. Notably there should be at least two uniques of any one handed weapon. You should be able to dual wield your favorite weapon type. This was less of an issue in the prior game where you could enchant everything.

Oh this intrigues me. Will it be all visible slots including weapons?

The only one handed weapons that have only 1 unique are the mace and the club, the others have 2+. And you're still complaining. I bet they could've put 20 unique for every weapons type and people would still don't get satisfied.

Ps: oh, the mace have also a soulbound one, so only the club remains with one unique.

How was I complaining? The post you quoted specified I didn't really have a problem. You should be able to tell from my name I've got nothing to complain about considering adequate uniques for my favorite weapon. But I'm certainly capable of seeing holes for other players.

Mace is still hole because soulbound weapons have class restrictions. In addition, Wands are also one handed.

Battle Axes only have one unique if you don't have the backer reward.

Regardless, there are far too many swords and sabres in the game, period.
Sloul Des Tucs Jun 1, 2018 @ 12:08pm 
Oh man... those weapons are called ''Legendary'' and ''Unique'' and you're asking for a ton of those.
I am speechless.
