While Avowed provides a fair explanation of its mechanics and gameplay aspects for novice players, it seems some users remain unclear about dismantling equipment. To enhance weapons and armor in Avowed, players must gather specific resources at the Camp.
As an avid player, I’ve discovered that while it’s possible to scavenge upgrade materials from the world, the most efficient method is by dismantling surplus equipment. This guide will walk you through the process of deconstructing gear in Avowed, applicable to both PC and console versions. It also provides a breakdown of the materials you’ll receive upon breaking down various types of equipment.
How To Break Down Gear In Avowed
To dismantle an item in the game, confirmed players need to access their character’s Inventory, find an unequipped piece of equipment, and choose it. Only weapons and armor can be dismantled for crafting components; other gear types such as boots, gloves, accessories, rings, trinkets, and all similar items cannot be broken down for materials.
As you’ve selected the device (highlighted), glance at the lower-right part of the screen to locate your Break Down input.
- On PC, hold down the ‘R’ key to break down gear.
- Avowed players on console must hold down the ‘X’ button to break down gear.
Pressing either the ‘R’ key or ‘X’ button quickly won’t hold it down; instead, the corresponding item will be placed in your Party Inventory.
As an avid fan, I can tell you that you’ll have a sneak peek at the rewards you’ll receive from disassembling your equipment in Avowed. Just scroll down on the item description to locate the “Break Down” section. This area will showcase all the upgrade materials you’ll obtain by deconstructing that particular piece of gear.
Breaking Down Normal Weapons & Armor

Breaking down standard (non-Uniquely crafted) weapons and armor yields materials useful for enhancing both regular and exceptional items. The quality or upgrade level of the equipment determines the type of materials obtained upon disassembly, with higher-quality gear providing a greater yield of materials.
Any equipment that has undergone at least one update will yield an Herb Material, a versatile item essential for various upgrades of gear. However, if your equipment belongs to a superior tier but remains unupgraded (at +0 level), it won’t produce a herb when dismantled.
Broken Down Item | Common Reward | Fine Reward | Exceptional Reward | Superb Reward |
---|---|---|---|---|
Any Upgraded Gear (+1 or more) | Paradisan Ladder | Hylea’s Talon | Admeth’s Wyrt | Cave Coral |
Wands, Grimoires, Guns, Bows | Softwood Branch | Hardwood Branch | Petrified Wood Branch | Blackwood Branch |
Melee Weapons | Iron Chunk | Steel Chunk | White Steel Chunk | Living Iron Chunk |
Armor Pieces | Pelt | Tanned Hide | Stelgaer Leather | Balarok Skin |
Breaking Down Unique Weapons & Armor

As an ardent player, I can attest that dismantling exceptional equipment will yield the same materials linked with each gear category and tier, along with a precious resource called Adra. Notably, Adra is exclusively employed to enhance unique gear. While you may stumble upon it in the world or receive it as a reward from specific quests, it’s incredibly scarce.
To enhance your Unique gear with more Adra, consider the strategy of disassembling Unique items that you no longer need. It may seem counterintuitive to discard something permanent, but keep in mind that there are numerous unique items available within Avowed. Chances are, you won’t utilize all of them.
As a devoted fan, I’ve come to notice that some unique items are more prevalent than others, as indicated by their descriptions. Just like with regular weapons and armor, the
Common Reward | Fine Reward | Exceptional Reward | Superb Reward | Legendary Reward |
---|---|---|---|---|
N / A | Adra | Awakened Adra | Corrupted Adra | Adra Ban |
When dismantling unique equipment, you’ll also acquire standard upgrade materials related to that gear category and its level. It’s important to note that unique gear can ascend to the legendary upgrade level, granting legendary materials for each gear type upon dismantling.
Legendary Gear Type | Legendary Material Rewards |
---|---|
Any Legendary Unique | Bloodwrithe Toadstool |
Wands, Grimoires, Guns, Bows | Glasswood Branch |
Melee Weapons | Living Steel Chunk |
Armor Pieces | Dragon Hide |
