The official inventory screenshot is the contract for this page. It shows two weapons, four armor pieces, three artifacts, and three talismans. That is twelve combat slots, matching the gameplay article’s jump from six to twelve. Do not look for a thirteen-slot hidden row; the captured board is the launch board.

Armor used to be one item in the first game. Here the set is helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots. Each piece can roll extra random effects, so two chestplates with the same name can play differently. That random-effect rule also applies to weapons.

Artifacts remain active tools with a three-slot cap. The screenshot prints power 29, 31, and 26 on those three slots. Those numbers are what the UI showed, not a crafted tier list. Swap artifacts when a rift or woods fight wants a different active.

Count the sockets on the Steam inventory still: two weapons, four armor, three artifacts, three talismans. Artifact power values 29, 31, and 26 are what that screenshot printed. Random extra effects mean two chestplates with the same name can leave a fight playing differently, which is why this guide talks in slots instead of a single best-in-slot list. One-of-a-Kind on Steam asks you to equip a unique item, so unique rolls are a tracked loadout event as well as a loot event.

Talismans are the new passive category. You may equip three. The Steam inventory still shows three empty-or-filled talisman sockets beside the artifact row, which is why this guide treats three as the hard cap rather than a guess.

Twisted Tooth is the named talisman on that screenshot. It sits in the talisman slot at level 1 and increases souls gained by 40%. That is the only named talisman with a published effect on the official screenshot. Other talismans exist as a category without published names.

Worked Like a Talisman is a Steam achievement whose public description is “Upgrade a talisman to level 3.” If you are collecting the 32 icons, that row is the talisman upgrade check. Hidden talisman achievements stay hidden on the achievements table.

Worked Like a Talisman asks you to upgrade a talisman to level 3, so the three sockets are meant to grow. Twisted Tooth is the only named talisman with a published effect: plus 40% souls gained at level 1. Other talismans exist as a category without captured names. Soul-heavy Sift dives are the obvious place to socket Twisted Tooth before you step through a rift.

Weapons cover melee and ranged. Projectile weapons no longer spend a finite arrow stack: ammunition is unlimited and recharges automatically. That change is in the gameplay article and is the reason a bow can stay on the twelve-slot bar for a whole Sift dive.

Jumping is new beside dodge rolling. Jump attacks add momentum, and the article calls out parkour. Y-Axis Unlocked on Steam asks you to defeat 1000 mobs with jump attacks, which is the public proof that jump attacks are a real damage path, not a traversal flourish.

Enchantment books go into a personal library. You apply them at an enchantsmith to any gear slot, then upgrade those enchantments over time. Worked Like a Charm tracks upgrading an enchantment to level 3. Mystic Librarian tracks collecting all enchantment books. Maxed Out and Geared Up asks that all equipped weapons and armor have level 3 enchantments. Those three public descriptions are the enchanting loop in achievement form.

The official gear still of a blacksmith upgrading a Common Battlestaff is the second image on this page. It shows the upgrade loop as a vendor interaction, not as a hidden menu. Take loot to that smith when a common staff or similar piece is worth the investment.

Random extra effects mean a upgraded copy is still not a clone of another upgraded copy. Two Battlestaves can leave the smith with different rolls. That is why this guide talks in slots and limits rather than a single best-in-slot list.

Strike While it's Hot is the public re-roll achievement: “Re-roll a special piece of gear.” Use it when a roll misses. The blacksmith image is the visual for that economy; the achievement is the tracked action.

Strike While it's Hot is the public re-roll task: re-roll a special piece of gear. The blacksmith still of a Common Battlestaff is the vendor picture for that economy. Maxed Out and Geared Up later asks that all equipped weapons and armor hold level 3 enchantments, which is the long form of the same upgrade loop.
