Items & Gear
Strength wins fights, but the right gear wins the day. Blades and bows demand attributes before you can wield them well; armour marks which camp you belong to; potions and herbs patch you back together; and lumps of magic ore are both treasure and the colony’s only honest currency. This section covers the items and equipment of the game — what to buy, what to craft, and what to never sell.

The Sect's narcotic swamp herb, smoked in worship of the Sleeper and traded to the other camps as the swamp's chief export and currency.
The Eye of Innos
A holy amulet of the god Innos — the relic Xardas sends the Hero to recover as Gothic ends and the next chapter begins.
The Focus Stones

The Ulu-Mulu
The orcish standard of honor that lets the Nameless Hero pass safely through the Orc City to reach the Sleeper's temple.
Two-Handed Weapons
Greatswords and battle-axes that trade speed for devastating reach and power — the heavy hitters of a Strength build.
