It's been three weeks since the new server, Crabron, opened for 'Arthdal Chronicles: The Three Realms' (henceforth Arthdal Chronicles). With a plethora of growth items for new and returning players, many users are gradually acquiring Hero-grade equipment, leaving them pondering which pieces to prioritise. So, which gear should you focus on first? KookminTree has investigated.

Q. Where can I obtain Hero-grade equipment?
A. It can be crafted.

To craft Hero-grade equipment, you'll need blueprints for luminous armour, accessories, and weapons. Among these, weapons with 'Rare Frost' are superior for both hunting and boss encounters compared to generic Hero weapons, so you needn't rush to craft one unless you're focused on PvP. It's better to prioritise crafting armour and accessories first.

The luminous blueprints required for crafting can be acquired through various means. These include crafting using luminous armour blueprint fragments, dungeon clears, time dungeon hunts, boss chests, and rift dungeon rewards. Additionally, you can obtain one armour blueprint each by defeating named monsters in the Great Tree Forest and one weapon blueprint by defeating named monsters in the Binarise Basin, so keep that in mind.

Q. Should I go for 'Guardian' or 'Eternal'? What should I craft?
A. Recommendations vary depending on the equipment slot.

So, which Hero-grade equipment should you choose? Generally, 'Eternal', which requires more materials, offers higher base stats and is thus preferable. However, 'Eternal' typically provides defensive stats, so opting for 'Guardian' might be better if you aim to increase your damage output. For instance, the chest piece and gloves come with Evasion for 'Eternal' and All Damage Rate for 'Guardian'. Therefore, for such slots, choose 'Guardian' for its All Damage Rate bonus.
