Your total gear score is calculated from the sum of the individual pieces and each slot has its own weight in the equation. Weapons add the most to your total gear score, followed by Chestwear, while Boots add the least. For more information about what to wear in Aeternum, including how to get gear, check out our Gear Guide.
