Avowed has a large collection of unique armor items with special bonuses and properties that can greatly affect your gameplay. These strong items are obtainable in different ways, ranging from doing difficult quests and searching for hidden areas to buying them from unique merchants. This guide compiles all the currently known unique armor pieces in Avowed, detailing their stats, enchantments, and, most importantly, how to obtain them. Whether you’re looking for increased damage reduction, enhanced healing, or special abilities, this list will help you find the perfect armor to suit your playstyle and conquer the challenges that await.
All Unique Armor in Avowed
Avowed Unique Armor is special equipment that provides strong and unique bonuses. Aside from their distinctive appearance, these items have special attributes and abilities that you will not get from normal armor or clothing. While you can’t upgrade Unique Armor’s bonuses at your camp’s Enchanting Table, Unique Chest Armor can be upgraded at a workbench, though it’ll cost more resources than upgrading regular armor. Interestingly, Unique Gloves and Boots can’t be upgraded, but they also don’t have any weight.
This means you can carry a bunch of them and swap them out as needed to take advantage of their different effects. You can find Unique Armor in a variety of ways: completing Treasure Maps or Side Quests, buying them from specific merchants, or discovering them in the world inside glowing golden chests and containers.
