Maximizing your equipment’s effectiveness is a crucial strategy to keep in mind while diving into Avowed. Your character skills are undeniably important during battles, especially when they are reconfigured for seamless use. However, the strength and quality of your weapons and armor define the challenge you will face throughout the game. Upgrading your gear is essential to tackling increasing difficulty, but you’ll often encounter obstacles where you’ll require more materials than you currently possess to advance to the next upgrade level. Dismantling surplus weapons and armor you collect will be your best bet for acquiring those valuable materials, and this can be done directly from the menu. Here’s a guide on how to do it.
How to Dismantle Equipment in Avowed
Any piece of armor or weapon can be dismantled through the pause menu. When you select the item, look at the bottom of its description to see what materials it will yield upon dismantling. Generally, the components you recover will match the materials needed for upgrading similar types of gear—wands, for instance, will provide materials necessary for upgrading other wands.
Step 1: Identify a piece of gear you’re willing to dismantle and won’t mind losing.
Step 2: Access your menu and navigate to Inventory.
Step 3: Select the gear you wish to dismantle.
Step 4: As long as the equipment is not currently equipped, hold X on consoles or R on a PC to dismantle it into raw materials.
For any gear that you’ve previously upgraded and want to dismantle because you’ve found something superior, you’ll typically receive back most of the materials you invested, though not all. In many cases, dismantling surplus gear is a more advantageous option than selling it for the minimal amount of gold it would provide.
