Unique Shields and Grimoire are only the tip of the ice berg when it comes to building yourself the perfect character build. Avowed also offers high end, rare Unique variants of powerful weapons.
Each weapon, piece of armor, off-hand item, glove, or boot typically has 2 magical enhancements, specialized rings, amulets, and trinkets typically only have one. The first upgrade on unique weapons, represented by a diamond, can also be upgraded.
The Workbench in your Party Camp can upgrade unique weapons, unique off-hand items, and unique armor.
In order to promote an item from a 0/3 to a 3/3 you have to use materials of a certain quality and then a special type of Adra to bring it to the next tier. You can also transform pre-existing upgrade materials into new upgrade materials, Adra included.
Additionally, unique pieces upgrade with your character if you’re finding them or earning them via quests; for the most part, those items you can upgrade are already at a quality level that aligns with where you are in the game. Either way, you can always enhance all unique weapons, off-hand items, and armor at your Camp.
