Dark and Darker is a challenging game set in creepy dungeons where players face both monsters and other adventurers. When you explore the dangerous underground, you’ll face scary enemies and other players trying to beat you. That’s why it’s important to choose your gear wisely.
This is where the Squire comes in handy. Unlocking new items from the Squire isn’t just about better gear, it’s about picking the right gear for each time you play. In this guide, we will show you how to unlock squire items in Dark And Darker. Let’s get started.
Ways To Unlock Squire Items In Dark And Darker
To unlock more items from the Squire, you must complete quests offered by different merchants such as the Alchemist, Weaponsmith, Armorer, Woodsman, Leathersmith, and Tailor. Here are the detailed explanations on how to unlock more:
Complete Merchant Quests
To unlock more gear from the Squire, you need to complete quests from different merchants such as the Alchemist, Weaponsmith, Armorer, Woodsman, Leathersmith, and Tailor. Completing the first quest for each of these merchants unlocks all the grey items they normally sell at the Squire, which is achievable at 25 affinity. As you continue to complete quests and increase your affinity, the Squire will start offering higher-quality items, upgrading from poor to common gear. As an example, if you complete a job for the Leathersmith, the Squire will add a pair of rawhide gloves to your starting kit. As you complete more quests, you’ll unlock more options.
If you are kind to the shopkeepers in your area, it’ll pay you rewards! Talk to them and find out what little things they need help with. Also, working for better free gear from the Squire is a win-win situation; you’ll gain experience and gold while you’re at it.
Build Affinity
Affinity is crucial for unlocking better gear. Completing quests increases your affinity with the merchants, which in turn allows the Squire to offer higher-quality items. For example, reaching 25 affinity unlocks grey items, and completing more quests can unlock white items.
Upgrade Your Gear
As you complete quests and increase affinity, the Squire will start offering better gear, upgrading from poor to common items. For instance, completing the third quest for a merchant can provide access to white items, enhancing the options available for your character’s loadout.
So that’s how you can unlock squire items in Dark And Darker. To customize your loadout, in the game’s hub area, you can interact with the Squire to access the “Quick Prepare” and “Base Gear” tabs. Quick Prepare allows you to equip a pre-selected loadout swiftly, while Base Gear lets you customize your starting equipment in detail.
