No Rest for the Wicked: How to Get the Perfect Endgame Gear
This video guides you through the simple steps to craft the best end-game gear in No Rest for the Wicked. It covers key steps such as selecting base gear, enchanting, rerolling enchantments, maximizing enchantments, and finishing touches. This guide provides valuable insights and tips to help players create the best gear in the game.
1. 🎮 Step 1: Selecting Base Gear - The Importance of Fashion, Movement Sets, and Facets
- ✅ Weapons and armor are functionally identical within their categories, with the main differences being stat scaling and movement sets.
- ✅ For armor, the material type is important. Two leather armors of the same level will always have the same stats.
- ✅ The most important parts of gear are fashion, movement sets, and facets. Facets are special modifiers that cannot be changed.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Facet | A special modifier that the item has when it is created and cannot be changed later. |
| Movement Set | The attack style and motions of the weapon. |

2. 🔥 Crafting a Staff for the Sharp Facet and Material Costs
- ✅ Select a Gnarled Staff as the staff for a fire mage.
- ✅ The target facet is the Sharp facet, which lowers base damage but increases critical damage.
- ✅ You may need to craft several to get a Sharp Gnarled Staff.
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
| Sharp Facet | Lowers base damage but increases critical damage. |
| Crafting Cost of Gnarled Staff (36) | 288 Pine Planks, 36 Human Bones |

3. ✨ Step 2: Enchanting - Magic Items vs. Plague Items
- ✅ The best gear is either blue magic items or red plague items.
- ✅ Magic items can have up to 3 enchantments, while plague items have 4 enchantments and 1 flaw.
- ✅ Only plague weapons can roll the 'increased damage for 20 seconds after a critical hit' effect.
| Item Type | Number of Enchantments | Additional Effects |
|---|---|---|
| Magic Item | 3 | None |
| Plague Item | 4 | 1 Flaw |
Use Corrupting Embers to force a weapon to become plagued.

4. 🔄 Step 3: Rerolling Enchantments - Absorbing Enchantments Using Essence Embers
- ✅ Randomly rerolling enchantments using Corrupted Embers is a waste of time and Embers.
- ✅ Use Essence Embers to absorb enchantments from other items and apply them directly to your chosen item.
- ✅ Essence Embers have some limitations: you cannot put enchantments from plague gear into magic gear, and enchantments are limited by gear type.
- ✅ Use Corrupted Embers to reroll the flaw on plague gear.
| Ember Type | Use |
|---|---|
| Corrupted Ember | Randomly rerolls enchantments. |
| Essence Ember | Absorbs and applies enchantments from other items. |

5. 💪 Step 4: Maximizing Enchantments - Using Gleaming and Exalted Embers
- ✅ First, use Gleaming Embers to raise enchantments to their highest natural values.
- ✅ Then, use Exalted Embers to make the item Exalted.
- ✅ Exalting enhances a random enchantment beyond its natural limit.
- ✅ Ideally, you want to increase a key damage stat, but this part is completely random.
| Ember Type | Use |
|---|---|
| Gleaming Ember | Raises enchantments to their highest natural values. |
| Exalted Ember | Exalts the item and enhances a random enchantment. |

6. ✨ Step 5: Finishing Touches - Rune Slots and Gem Infusion
- ✅ No Rest for the Wicked allows for a lot of weapon customization.
- ✅ Every weapon has 4 rune slots.
- ✅ For a fire mage staff, use Fireball and Armageddon.
- ✅ Infuse gems into your weapon. The best gems depend on your build.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Rune Slots | Each weapon has 4 rune slots. |
| Gem Infusion | The best gems depend on your build. |
