Assassin's Creed Origins Guide Reference and Analysis
Crafting
Use resources to upgrade Bayek’s gear. The bracer, breastplate, stabilizer, hidden blade, quiver, and tool pouch can be improved with select resources. Upgrading the quiver and tool pouch allows Bayek to carry more arrows and tools. Upgrading the remaining items boosts Bayek’s health as well as his melee, ranged, and hidden blade damage. These stats are not dependent on only the gear, though. Here is a rundown of each stat and its modifiers:
Note that you cannot increase an item’s level beyond Bayek’s level. Therefore, you are unable to max out any gear until Bayek reaches Level 10.

Quiver
Upgrade Effect: Increase arrow storage for all bows
If you prefer fighting from a distance with your favorite bow, it is well worth the resources to increase your arrow storage. When fully upgraded to Level 5, the quiver can hold a total of 33 arrows for hunter, light, and warrior bows and 9 arrows for the predator bows.

Tool Pouch
Upgrade Effect: Increase tool storage for all tools
Tools are extremely valuable when infiltrating an enemy stronghold. Take advantage of their abilities whenever possible. Sleep darts are especially handy against multiple or tough enemies, though their effectiveness decreases as your target’s level increases over Bayek’s level. Upgrade the tool pouch in order to carry more of each tool. It can carry a maximum of 15 flesh decay toxin and 9 smoke screens, firebombs, berserk, poison darts, and sleep darts.
