Every piece has its own serial, +0–+10 enhancement level, and two unique compatible rune sockets. Drop it, store it, sell it to Wardwright Veyra, or hand it to another player and that exact history travels with it.
A transferred tool, weapon, armor piece, or gadget only activates for a player who has personally reached its required planet tier. An uncertified piece waits safely as an owned item until its holder completes the required journey.
Only real pieces worn in distinct armor slots count toward a set. Copies in a backpack, duplicate slots, names, and profile flags never complete a bonus.
Head, chest, and feet gadgets occupy real armor slots. Two-piece bonuses remain reachable beside a Headlamp and Shaftwing; four-piece bonuses reward committing the complete armor loadout.
The bulwark atelier armor catalog is a paginated manifest with 12 launch pieces. The same model can grow to hundreds without creating one-off menus or balance registries.
