Suit up in the Sentinel armor, intimidating foes with a look as black and scary as the deepest abyss, and you'll love to see your warrior strut into every fight. Gather the exotic components and ask Master Wade to craft you Vigilance, the mightiest sword in the game, and your PC will cut through all but the strongest monsters with a stroke or two. Each upgrade to your gear is another step on the path toward adventuring godhood.
All party members need good weapons, helmets, gloves, chest pieces, boots, and various accessories. Magical or otherwise, these items bulk up your defense, improve attribute scores, and give you special powers. Whatever you don't fit in your character equipment slots goes into your party inventory, which you can draw from with any character.
