Complete Nightingale Gear Score Progression Guide

today I'm going to be showing you guys how you can increase your gear score in Nightingale to level up the most efficient and effective ways depending on what stage of the game you are at now obviously by the nature of this video there is going to be a few spoilers so if you want to save it and come back to it later do feel free to do so if you do find the video useful and helpful and informative do drop me a like and a subscribe down below both these things massively help out the channel and make sure you've got the notification Bell on because I will be uploading tons more night and Gil content to the channel very very shortly without further Ado let's jump into it so first things first what actually is your gear score well when you press I and open up your inventory screen you will see in the top left character screen here the number of gear score that you have now I am towards the end game of Early Access and as you can see I have a gear score of 200 which is pretty good the thing that's letting me down the most here currently is the backpack and that is because I need to unlock the recipe for the better one once I've done that I can craft that upgrade it to purple and then we're going to be looking pretty good we'll be sat somewhere our reckon around the 210 to 220 mark which is pretty high up you can still get a little bit higher but this is pretty good going now what are some ways that you can actually increase this the first and most obvious and effective way to do this is by upgrading your gear so going to your upgrade bench depending what stage of the game you are at you might be on the simple upgrade bench you might be on the refined upgrade bench or you might indeed be on the excellent which is the final tier in Early Access at the moment the excellent upgrade bench now this will depend what level you can get your gear to so the first one just allows you to upgrade it to Green then you can get to Blue with the second tier so the refined upgrading bench and then finally from Blue to purple as you can see if we select this one here and select the essence we could take that all the way up to the purple or tier fre rating which would be from the excellent upgrade bench this will mean that whatever gear you upgrade will actually gain some score so if we take these climbing picks right here for example if we throw in 40 tier 2 Essence then that would upgrade these or if if we throw in let's say the backpack and we throw in tier three Essence that would upgrade it to purple now for an example you can see that this is currently at 113 gear score if we go ahead and upgrade this which does take 10 seconds you can now see if I go into my inventory screen this one is all the way up to 157 and we're now at a total of 204 so again this is one of the quickest and easiest ways to do this and all it requires is the bench the item and then the essence to upgrade it now you will notice that some of this is at different levels most of it is at 197 or 1 191 depending this one's at 213 this one 249 and then the backpack you can see here now the backpack is a lower tier of items this is the Trappers pack which is pretty much the second tier of gear that you can find in the game some of this other stuff such as the calculan hattier this is one of the more endgame level of stuff it still isn't the very endgame level but it is getting up there to be one of the better pieces of gear that you can craft but on top of this you'll also see that they have different materials so depending on what they are made from will actually increase or decrease the gear score of the base value and then eventually what it levels up to so the next way to increase your gear score is actually by using better materials you'll see things like your basic ingots here you've got your iron you've got your shimmering Ingot you've got your magnesium and you've got some more of the endgame ones such as the pursuit Ingot there as well as some of these uranium ingots here and then of course the etched versions of these now you'll see that each of these gives you a different bonus so if you hover over them it will tell you for example hollow metal here you can see his difference to the pursuit because this one has 40% stealth 7.5% critical damage and 20% movement speed so depending on the item that you are trying to build you want to look at the bonuses and benefits that each material will give you now this isn't just for metal this also counts for wood so if we go ahead and have a look here you can see wood bundle Tier 1 fabled eron wood this gives us 12.5% critical 15% stamina and so on and so forth and then if we look at maybe let's say tier 4 Forest Wood bundle here you can see that this is 25 5% strength 20% blocking efficiency so all of these components and again it is the same if we go over and look at the hides and that sort of stuff it's all going to be adding up to give you more and different benefits and obviously the higher tier and higher level stuff that you use the higher the base gear score is going to be once you have crafted the item so if you're wanting to get some really really good stuff in there you're probably going to look towards maybe your tier three Predator Pelt here you can see this is the highest tier that we have at the moment so you could add that in does give us health and health regeneration as well as stamina efficiency and Cal resistance these are all going to be great benefits to put on some armor pieces so bear that in mind when you are crafting them so that is going to be another way to increase it and then of course once you upgrade it at the upgrade bench it will go to a higher level so you can see here for example this is at 197 but this one is at 213 because we simply use better materials to craft the Hat now again it's the same for the weapons really importantly for the weapons obviously the range stuff Pursuit tends to be the best metal you can see there it says My webble Revolver and then brackets Pursuit that it gives it that green sort of look and it does give it a lot of critical and range damage so this is very very useful if you're building something like a melee weapon like you can see this rugged wood axe here this is made from lainus which gives us extra melee damage so that's what I chose there and you will see that these also have a little bit extra gear score so we're on 213 on that one and on the pistol we're on 206 and the reason for that is things like the enchantments the charms and the infusions so not only are these items very very useful but they also increase your gear score so firstly your infusions you go ahead and grab whichever one you want literally whatever you think is going to be useful for you so it can be up melee damage poison resistance Health regeneration so let's pull stamina regeneration out you simply go into your menu click right click on it click apply and select a piece of gear you will then see the available slots you see here that you can have up to three infusions on purple gear here so you can go ahead and apply that one and as soon as we have another one we may as well apply this to the legs as well and you can see now when we hover over these it will say stamina regen plus plus in the magical section the physical section is the materials you crafted it with and the Magical section in the description is the infusions you have applied and you'll see here if we add a maximum health right now the shirt is at1 199 but if we go ahead and click apply and choose the shirt and apply into this empty slot you will see that bumps it up to 2011 and that was only with a green infusion so if you use the blue or the purple ones this will increase it further and obviously give you more potent benefits as well you then have charms charms are sort of like perks basically in this game and they will give you certain attributes or certain bonuses so you can see here this charm grants the wearer an a chance to increase the amount of material harvested from any plant life so again same thing you put this into your inventry right click on it click apply and choose any sort of thing that you want it to be applied to one thing you do want to note with charms though is if you hover over an item and as you can see that little green drawer pops out to the side there this says it has the charm of the Unstoppable on you will override a charm you can only have one charm per item so if it already has a charm on probably don't give it another one but you can see here this shirt the calarian shirt doesn't have anything on it right now so if we go ahead click apply choose the shirt again click apply to it you can see it's a 2011 gear score as well we apply that stays at the same gear score but it will give it a nice increase of a perk now you can see here enchantments if we go ahead and look at this one this one reveals weak points and boasts damage of critical strikes the duration increases with the Caster's Magic power again you would just simply right click on this click apply and choose the gear that you want to equip it to note here that you can't equip it to the guns but we can equip it to any of these now you will see my rugged axe already has Quake on which if you're not running you definitely want to but that is a tip for another video we've then also got recovery and we've got a third slot available so what we can do is go ahead and select this third slot we can then click apply spell and you can see 213 on the gear score there and now we go over it and it's at 218 so it's worth noting that infusions and enchantments will increase the gear score of an item while a charm will provide you with a perk but it will not increase the gear score so infusions and enchantments will increase the gear score as a very quick thing here I did make a video yesterday all about augments so all of your enchantments CHS and infusions if you want to check that out go ahead but they are built and made on the excellent enchanters Focus I won't go into too much depth cuz like I say I have got a whole video on that but this is where you can get hands on with them if you do want to get them other than looting which you can also find them for there now just as a final thing to round off the video then why do you actually want to increase your gear score and why would you want to increase the gear score of your tools over your weapons Etc mainly the gear score increase is going to mean that you do more damage and take less damage on top of this you can see currently I have no food Buffs active in the bottom left of my screen but I do have, 1500 health and by default over 150 stamina and that is thanks to the gear that I am running and the materials that I have crafted it with as well as the gear score that I've got and included in that is things like my infusions and my enchantments as well so this is really really important the main thing for tools is going to be the higher level you get them so if you get say here the mining pick that I've got is level two or three that means that I can now gather materials that require a level 200 mining which in turn if I then craft later tools with we'll start at a higher base value gear score and then I can increase that to a higher gear score by the time it's purple which should hopefully bump me up to that 240 or 260 Mark to then mean that I can get those even further end game materials that we have here so far in Early Access and then eventually get the best in slot stuff for nigh Andale right now so the tools wise you want to increase it to be able to gather the better things and therefore craft the better things and obviously with the tools as well when you can gather the better things not only can you make better tools but you can put the better materials into your armor and your weapons so again you can work towards those best ins slot items for the current Early Access version of Nightingale which is something I will cover at a later Point here on the channel so hopefully you have found this video useful and informative if you have please do drop me a like and a subscribe down below let me know in the comments what your favorite weapon is In N G so far I've really been enjoying this web Le revolver it seems to be a massive massive upgrade but let me know what yours is down below in the comments and other than that I will catch you again very shortly on a brand new upload so thank you for watching take care and [Music] peace
