In Where Winds Meet, players quickly collect a large number of equipment pieces—many of which become obsolete as you upgrade your build. Instead of selling or ignoring them, the Gear Arsenal allows you to store these items as permanent character enhancements.

Once placed into the Arsenal, their stats convert into passive boosts that persist indefinitely. This ensures that every high-tier drop remains useful and supports smooth late-game progression.

  • Scaling: Higher-rarity items (Purple/Gold) and higher gear-score items give significantly better Arsenal bonuses.
  • Best Items to Add: Great choices include duplicate set pieces, outdated high-rarity gear, and high gear-score weapons no longer needed.
  • Items to Avoid Adding: Do not add gear you still use, items intended for upgrades, or unique/quest-related items.

Tips for using the Gear Arsenal effectively

  • Don’t sell Purple/Gold gear immediately - High-rarity pieces almost always provide better long-term Arsenal value than coin.
  • Feed duplicate sets first - Extra copies of armor sets are ideal for Arsenal progression since they carry solid gear scores.
  • Prioritize fear score over stats - Even if an item has bad stats, its gear score can still provide strong Arsenal bonuses.
  • Upgrade before depositing - If an item is still part of your current build, enhance/tune it instead of feeding it.
