Revision 6

Torn Boots is the Common feet piece of the Common starter outfit in Windrose. It is the default starter garment equipped after the prologue shipwreck and is not crafted. Every character begins the game wearing the full Torn outfit in this slot.

Overview

• Rarity: Common

• Slot: Feet

• Set: Standalone (no set bonus)

• Item Level: ilvl 1

In-Game Description

"These rags were once fine clothes."

Defense

90 DEF at Item Level 1. Common-rarity armor has the lowest base Defense in the game and limited upgrade headroom; it is almost always replaced within the first few hours of play.

Set Bonuses

Common-rarity starter armor does not carry a set bonus and cannot be ascended to higher rarity. It is placeholder gear until the first Uncommon piece is crafted.

Starter Outfit Pieces

Every new character spawns in the full grey Torn outfit. The five pieces are placeholder Common gear with no set bonus, each at 90 base Defense, replaced piece by piece as Uncommon crafts come online.

The natural first upgrade for this slot is the matching Survivor's Boots from the Survivor's Set, crafted at the Armor and Clothing Workshop from Rough Hide and Coarse Fabric.

Notes

• Cannot be re-crafted once lost or replaced. Keep in mind the Common tier has no set bonus and minimal upgrade headroom at the Upgrading Station.

• The torn state of the starter outfit is the game's visual shorthand for the protagonist's opening circumstances: a freelance courier whose ship and crew were lost in Blackbeard's ambush during the prologue, leaving the player washed up on the Islander Quest starting island in reduced dress.

• Replace it as soon as the first Uncommon piece can be crafted at the Armor and Clothing Workshop: typically a Survivor's Set piece. Disassembling the Torn piece at the Disassembly Table returns nothing meaningful, so vendors or stashes are the usual disposal route.

Disassembles Into

Breaking the piece down at the Disassembly Table returns only 2 Coarse Fabric, the same low-value salvage as the rest of the Torn outfit, so most players sell or stash it rather than scrap it.
