How to Prepare Gear with Gem Socketing and Wanderer Equipment

Taking on elemental dungeons requires preparing your equipment beforehand to withstand telegraphed boss strikes and elemental mobs.

Equipping Wanderer Armor and Weapons

Before venturing into the mod's Overworld structures, equip Wanderer armor pieces and Wanderer weapons. Standard vanilla gear can struggle against heavy combat encounters, whereas Wanderer gear is specifically tailored to assist you in dealing with action RPG mechanics, tough mobs, and elemental hazards.

Embedding Gems for Stat Boosts

To maximize the effectiveness of your equipment, use the gem socketing system:

1. Gather your armor and weapons alongside gems collected throughout your journey.

2. Access the gem socketing system to embed gems directly into your gear.

3. Verify that the stat boosts apply to your equipment before leaving safety.

Socketing stat-boosting gems allows you to survive prolonged encounters where boss damage is capped and sustained defense is required. Make sure your complete loadout is socketed before entering high-threat dungeons like the Emberbound Cathedral or the Cryos Technomantic Vault.
