Revision 1

Torn Doublet is the Common-rarity starter chest armor in Windrose. Every character begins the game wearing it after the prologue ambush.

Stats

How to Acquire

The Torn Doublet is not crafted; it is already equipped when the player washes up on the starting island after the prologue shipwreck. There is no formal way to obtain a second copy once the original is replaced, so it primarily serves as a tutorial-tier garment that players discard within the first few hours.

Role in the Progression

As a Common-rarity item, the Torn Doublet has no set bonuses and cannot be ascended. It is also not upgradeable at the Upgrading Station beyond very basic levels (Common items gain minimal benefit from upgrades). The recommended progression: replace the Torn Doublet as soon as the first Uncommon piece is crafted at the Armor and Clothing Workshop (typically a Survivor's Set chest piece).

Historical Flavor

The "once fine clothes" flavor text ties into the protagonist's backstory: a freelance courier whose ship and crew were lost in Blackbeard's ambush. The torn state of the doublet is the game's visual shorthand for the character's reduced circumstances at the start of the story.
