SENTINEL'S GREAVESSENTINEL'S GREAVES is a set piece built on the SERVO GREAVES, and every copy carries the same bonuses — the block is authored, not rolled, so there is no such thing as a badly rolled one.
It is worn from level 13, the requirement of the base underneath it rather than its own item level of 43 — which is why it can land in your hands long before it looks like it should.
It is a keeper. Its headline bonus is a fraction of your own numbers rather than a flat lump, so it reads modest the day you find it and grows with you for the rest of the campaign.
THEY STILL KNOW HOW A MAN MOVES WHERE A MAN WEIGHS NOTHING.
Underneath the name it is a SERVO GREAVES: Powered greaves that carry their own weight and some of yours — built for the colony's human staff, back when keeping humans was the plan.
What it does
- MATERIALMAIL, which turns 1.6× what the same piece would in cloth.
- ALSO DEMANDS10 STRENGTH to wear — heavier materials want a bruiser inside them.
- WEARS OUT120 hits taken before it falls silent. It is never destroyed — a worn-out piece still hangs on you contributing nothing until a repair kit brings it back.
- SALVAGEIt melts down: the merchant pays double what an ordinary piece of its worth fetches.
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.
Its bonuses
Fixed on every copy. Only the base damage and armor moves, by a ±10% band rolled per drop — so two copies differ a little and a well-rolled one is worth keeping.
- +2% DEXTERITY
- +6 STAMINA
- +55 MAX HP
THE SENTINEL'S VIGIL
A boss's green kit, themed to one weapon class — this one to melee. Wearing several pieces at once pays bonuses on top of each piece's own, and the thresholds stack, so the full kit carries every tier at once.

Where it comes from
- THE FLAGBEARER can roll it on NIGHTMARE and JESUS CHRIST!.
A set piece never falls out of a rarity roll. It is minted only from its boss's own table, on the rungs that table lists — which is what makes completing a kit a matter of going back rather than of getting lucky.
