Boots in Avowed are a big part of your character’s overall build, as is the case with most RPGs of this nature.
Each pair of boots also has its own item bonuses and enchantments that can increase movement speed, extend dodge distance, boost health and stamina regeneration, or provide some other situational perks.
Blackwing Boots grants a boost to agility while Arcanist’s Boots offers something restorative, making all these items suited towards different playstyles.
They’re obtained in several ways, such as looted from hidden chests, bought from the type of vendor that would show up to a Dragon Age game, or gained as a reward for completing a side quest, which rewards thorough exploration of the beautifully detailed game world.
Boots will be a key part of progression and customization system in Avowed. They enable you to customize combat approaches by stacking these bonuses alongside other gear to tackle difficult fights and progress with the game’s tiered upgrade system.
