Maps of the new DLC, helpful for chest farming and route planning.
Some info concerning the Toothpick you may want to have a look at.
Intended to be a list of new gear introduced in the latest DLC. Hopefully with sources and special effects. This post will be essentially naked until I have a few extra minutes to start collating the data already in other threads. Feel free (and encouraged) to post submissions in this thread and I’ll try to update it as often as possible. (Free likes as I like every response in a thread I start.) Information considered pertinent for the purposes of this thread: gear type, source, element where applicable, special effect and red text. Help with formatting always appreciated.
List to be formatted and made pretty later. Effervescent unless otherwise labeled. (All information used is gleaned from the wiki. Any further info will be incorporated and credited moving forward.)
