In *Avowed*, keeping your weapons and armor upgraded is crucial for tackling the increasingly challenging enemies you'll face. At the start of your journey, you'll mostly encounter Common, or Level I, gear and foes. As the game progresses, the difficulty ramps up to Level II, requiring you to equip Fine, or Level II, gear to stay competitive. Here's how you can acquire and upgrade to Tier II/Fine weapons and armor in *Avowed*.

How to Upgrade Weapons and Armor from Common (I) to Fine (II) in Avowed

In *Avowed*, your gear's effectiveness is measured in two ways: Quality and Levels. Quality is denoted by a descriptor, color, and Roman numeral. Common gear, marked in green, is at Quality I, while Fine gear, marked in blue, is at Quality II. Within each Quality, there are three incremental levels, ranging from +1 to +3.

To upgrade your gear from Common (I) to Fine (II), you'll need to visit a Party Camp, where you'll find a workbench. Upgrading involves progressing through the +1 to +3 levels, each requiring specific materials based on the gear type. After reaching +3, you can then elevate your gear to Fine (II) using Adra, a rare crystal obtained through Quest completions, purchased from Merchants, or by breaking down Unique items.

Where to Find and Purchase Fine (II) Weapons and Armor in Avowed

While upgrading is effective, it can be resource-intensive. Alternatively, you can find Fine (II) gear in the Living Lands, particularly in Dawnshore, though these drops are rare. Fine gear often appears on defeated Level II enemies, especially Bounties. However, using Common gear against these enemies will result in lower damage output and reduced resistance, so stock up on health potions for these encounters.

For purchasing Fine (II) gear, head to Paradis, accessible after defeating the Dreamscourge-infested bear boss in Dawnshore during the early stages of the Main Quest. In Paradis, near the Bounty Board, you'll find a pair of sister Merchants. Merlylin specializes in magical items like grimoires and wands, while her blacksmith sister offers a range of standard Fine weapons and armor, as shown in the image above.

That's everything you need to know about acquiring Fine weapons and armor in *Avowed*. Stay equipped and ready for any challenge the game throws your way!
