Overview
- Abyss Gears are lootable orbs that slot into weapons and armor to add buffs such as attack bonuses and elemental resistances.
- Socketing now becomes available in Chapter 3 via Sylvia in Shadow's Whisper Cave, who offers embedding, extraction, and socket creation.
- Rock Paper Shotgun reports a bug that auto-completes The Hermit Witch if players enter Sylvia's cave before receiving the quest, removing her services.
- Chapter 5 unlocks Elowen, who provides the same socketing functions and additionally crafts Abyss Gears and buys or sells them.
- Players can extract gears from pre-socketed items to transfer effects, and PC Gamer warns to remove gears before selling Contribution gear to avoid loss.
