Equipment

Equipment can be collected during runs and equipped onto heroes to add various stat bonuses. Rarer equipment can even provide extra abilities. Equipment quality (numerical stat bonuses) degrades after each encounter. The rank (Common/Uncommon/Rare/Epic/Legendary) does not degrade. Abilities granted by equipment cannot be improved by skill books. If the primary weapon is two-handed, a secondary weapon can be equipped but it will be disabled. Primary weapons have double the stats of a secondary when two-handed.

The Blacksmith's Charm (Gold rarity unique) can be equipped to the charm necklace to prevent equipment degradation. All found equipment is temporary, as characters get reset to their appropriate charm necklace initial gear when a new campaign is started. You earn a gold bonus for found equipment at the end of a campaign.
