Originally in the base game each area had one specific heirloom given as quest rewards. While this is no longer the case for most quests, it is still true for bosses.

  • Ruins: Busts/Crests
  • Weald: Deeds/Crests
  • Warrens: Portraits/Crests
  • Cove: Crest (three times as much in other areas)

Trinkets[]

Trinkets are equippable items that can be found in the dungeons, gained as a quest reward, or bought at the Nomad Wagon. Each hero is able to carry two different trinkets with various effects.

Persistent Provisions[]

These are special types of provisions only available in DLC. Unlike other provisions, they cannot be bought from the Caretaker, and instead must be found in dungeons dropped by special monsters (with the only exception being The Blood, which can be generated from the Sanguine VintnersExclusive to the Crimson Court DLC.) If they are not removed from the inventory when the quest ends, instead of being sold back to the Caretaker, they will be placed in the Caretaker's shop as a free provision, which the player can take at any time up to the number of provisions they have.
