PASSAGE CHIPREQUIRES LEVEL 1
PASSAGE CHIP is a trinket, wielded from level 1.
The requirement cuts both ways: nothing below level 1 ever drops one, and a hero below it banks the find rather than wearing it.
THE ARCHITECT's machine chip, cut into his own skull and cut back out at the end. It was his ticket into the AI's new world; he died handing it to the man he used to share a bench with.
What it does
- UNBREAKABLEIt carries no wear budget, so it never needs a repair kit.
- PAYS IN THE BAG+1 INTELLIGENCE — the effect rides in the pocket, so it works without an equip slot.
A fresh find in the hands of a hero who has spent no stat points — the piece itself, with nothing of the wielder in it. Your own STRENGTH, DEXTERITY or INTELLECT lifts these from there, as does an item level found deeper than the requirement.
