Loot and Equipment
Equipment in Fatekeeper is meant to feel meaningful rather than disposable. Items can be inspected up close, with lore, subtle details, and hidden interactions that may reveal more than what is visible at first glance. The Druid's loadout is built around a small set of slots and two interchangeable weapon sets, so each piece has a distinct role.
Slot List
Slot | Notes |
|---|---|
Primary weapon kit, equipped in the Druid's hands. | |
Secondary weapon kit, swappable on demand. | |
Body armor. Defines damage absorption and movement weight. | |
Head slot. Often carries situational defense or perception bonuses. | |
Trinket slot for spell or stat modifiers. | |
Two ring slots; commonly carry magic-related modifiers. | |
Carried artifact with strong, identity-shaping effects. Inspectable for lore. | |
Quick-slot pouch for potions, weapon vials, and handbombs. |
Two Weapon Sets
Two weapon sets sit ready at any time and the Druid can swap between them mid-fight. A common pairing is a long-reach option (halberd, two-handed weapon, staff) plus a fast skirmisher kit (sword, dagger, club). The second slot also lets a melee build carry a spell-focused weapon for ranged play without respeccing.
Inspect Items
Every weapon, armor piece, ring, and relic can be inspected up close. Inspection often reveals lore, subtle details, and hidden interactions. The Weapons, Relics and Forgotten Arts dev blog highlighted this as an intentional pillar of the loot loop: items are echoes of old traditions, not just stat sticks.
Loadout Philosophy
Paraglacial has framed loadouts as the bridge between a player's build and the specific encounter ahead. Skill-tree nodes set the long-term identity, but the loadout is a per-area decision: which weapon vials to brew, which relic to carry, which rings to wear, and which consumables to pre-stock at Haven before the next push. Every item matters, and the right gear can be the difference between victory and ruin.
Item Sources
Loot drops. Defeated enemies and bosses can drop weapons, armor, and rings.
World finds. Hidden chests, ruins, and side rooms often contain relics and rare materials.
Alchemy. Three-ingredient combinations produce potions, vials, and handbombs.
Inspection rewards. Some interactions are gated by inspecting an item carefully.
