As darkness fell over Phoebe’s first day in Dragonville, she snuggled under yet another cheap blanket, shivering with cold. “Tomorrow I must procure some clothing,” she muttered. The next day, after burning everyone around her, she set out to the Forge to see what the smiths had to offer.
Glancing around the intensely hot building, she admired all the blacksmiths hard at work. Sweat glistening off their… “Stop it!” she scolded herself, “Remember Darius…” Tuning out the workers around her, she perused the selection of gear available.
Sentinel’s Gear Set
The first display to catch her eye featured the Sentinel’s Defensive gear set. “Hmmm…” she thought. “I definitely need some protection here.” She eyed the stats critically:
| Gear Piece | Minimum Hero Level | Max Troop Defense Bonus | Trap Attack | Troop Load | Troop Health Bonus | Materials Needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sentinel's Watch | 30 | 249% | 0% | 0% | 0% | Dense Metal, Iron Linking (2), Cured Rugged Hide |
| Sentinel's Plate | 30 | 207% | 8% | 16% | 0% | Corrupted Die, Dense Metal, Cured Rugged Hide, Iron Linking |
| Sentinel's Greaves | 30 | 168% | 0% | 10% | 0% | Cured Rugged Hide, Dense Metal, Steel Silk, Iron Linking |
| Sentinel's Storm Spear | 30 | 73% | 41% | 0% | 0% | Living Wood (2), Dense Metal (2) |

| Sentinel's Ring | 30 | 53% | 16% | 16% | 0% | Corrupted Die, Dense Metal, Cured Rugged Hide, Fire Scales |
Now, Phoebe had been working hard all morning hitting other Strongholds to level up her hero. She discovered that hitting cities with low-level dragons home gave a significant amount of Hero XP. As such, her Hero was now Level 30. “Thank blazes, I can craft defensive gear!” she rejoiced.
After ordering a set of Sentinel’s Gear from the sweaty, glistening blacksmiths, she turned her attention to gear for attacking.
Arbiter’s and Assasin’s Gear Sets
Checking the tags on the gear, Phoebe noticed that this gear required Hero 40. “Well, poo,” she thought. “Guess I’m going to get more hate mail. This set has both attack AND defense. March speed too!” Always prepared, Phoebe wrote down the stats for future reference.

After browsing the Attack section, Phoebe turned her attention to the gear in the back. “Well hey,” she thought, “these items don’t require such a high Hero level. Mayhap the stats on these can help fill in the gaps.” Fishing out her trusty quill, she started taking notes.

As Phoebe headed for the exit, she noticed a new section up at the front. “Ohhhh, Monster gear!” she exclaimed, “I swear that wasn’t here 2 hours ago…”

Exhausted from the heat and excessive shopping, Phoebe gathered her Sentinel gear and headed back to her room with one final glance at the burly blacksmith hammering away at an Arbiter’s Judgement . Collapsing on the bed, she pondered her next move. Leveling up her Hero was a must, but perhaps she could bait some hits…
