# Gear & progression

A better weapon. A piece that completes your look. Something worth taking into the next dungeon.

## Find your next upgrade

Equipment progresses through **Common**, **Uncommon** and **Rare** tiers in the current game. Here are a few pieces from the collection.

| Rarity   | Equipment                   |
| -------- | --------------------------- |
| Common   | Moon Hood · Forest Leathers |
| Uncommon | Silver Plate · Ivory Robes  |
| Rare     | Gold Crown · Gold Plate     |

*Item selection preview. Balance and availability can change before release.*

## Make it your own

Combine equipment with your squad's roles, train your characters and improve basic weapons at the blacksmith. Later encounters give you something new to work toward.

Equipment can be enhanced up to 12 stars with Stardust. Later upgrades cost more and can fail. A failed attempt spends Stardust but keeps your gear and stars; repeated failures lead to a guaranteed upgrade.

Further equipment and appearances can arrive with future chapters. Some discoveries are better left for the adventure.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://everfall.gitbook.io/docs/first-light-and-progression/progression.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
