THE REDACTED
- SET
- HEAD
- LEVEL 21
THE REDACTEDTHE REDACTED is a set piece built on the GREAT HELM, 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 21, the requirement of the base underneath it rather than its own item level of 33 — which is why it can land in your hands long before it looks like it should.
WHAT IT GUARDS, IT WILL NOT DISCLOSE.
Underneath the name it is a GREAT HELM: A tournament great helm, big as a bucket and twice as heavy. The champion wearing it vanished mid-joust in front of four thousand witnesses, lance and all.
What it does
- MATERIALPLATE, which turns 2.2× what the same piece would in cloth. Plate is deep-campaign work: none of it drops below NIGHTMARE.
- ALSO DEMANDS29 STRENGTH to wear — heavier materials want a bruiser inside them.
- WEARS OUT140 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.
- +50 ARMOR
- +70 MAX HP
- +5 STAMINA
THE EXILE'S FLIGHT
A boss's green kit, themed to one weapon class — this one to ranged. 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 FOUNDER (THE RIFT) 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.
