Custom equipment

A select but growing number of characters have custom equipment that can be equipped only by them. This page covers the stories behind these artifacts. If you are looking for their stats, they can be found on the main equipment page.

The 0.19 release adds to Chapter 3 the prospect of more bespoke equipment that requires collecting ingredients in the same way as Aka's Knife did. So far almost all of the ingredients are unobtainable, but the party members who requested them seem to have a good idea of what they'd like to have. Wishlist items are marked in italics below and don't have official names yet.

Custom Weapons
Aka's Custom Knife (Aka, obviously): The first truly custom piece of equipment in the game. According to Aka, she uses an unusually light off-hand dagger, so in Stineford she requests that one be custom-made for her. It requires proper ore, smithing, enchantment and money but is comparable to Durge equipment once finished. Only one can be obtained due to her fighting style.

Worn Whip (Yarra): Though at first it appears to be just an unusual gift from the Empress, during Simon's route it is revealed that it has a much greater significance. It was the weapon that the Empress used when she was younger, before she ascended to the throne by overthrowing the previous Incubus King. She no longer uses it, because, in her words, it's the weapon of a revolutionary, not a ruler in power. Thus, giving it to Yarra is a mark of very high esteem.

Sexy Sword (Nalili): Nalili's starting equipment. Though unique to her, it is not as good as the rest of the unique equipment and doesn't seem to have any story behind it. Given how succubi tend to use whips or sex toys, however, we can assume she had to have it custom-made to match her fighting style.

Givini claws (Varia): Her request is for a pair of claws forged from a special kind of steel that the dwarves keep secret, using a special forging technique practiced by the Givini, who were scattered all over the continent after their kingdom fell to the Incubus King. A "tall order", indeed.

Off-hand wand (Altina): She wants to try a staff-and-wand fighting style, using a wand crafted by a powerful elven mage from a type of magic wood that grows only in Darghelon - and that kingdom's inhabitants really don't like outsiders wandering in their forests. As for the mage, Altina doubts that there would be a suitable one among the elves on Arclent.

Custom Armor
Lustplate (Simon): An ancient suit of armor found in the optional dungeon that doesn't have a huge crotch hole. One of Simon's best pieces of equipment so far, and usable only by him presumably because it was made for an Incubus King.

Otherworldly Robes (Robin): After helping the cult on Aka's path, they offer to use the excess demonic energy to create a magical robe for Robin. Unsurprisingly, the resulting piece of equipment can be worn only by her. Its properties are somewhat unusual: though it sacrifices many other stats, it has the highest magic defense of any armor in the game by a wide margin. Not necessarily a good general choice, but potentially very useful for magic-only fights.

Otherworldly Robes (Altina): If she is in the party, players can instead choose to make the custom robe for Altina. It has identical properties, it's just usable only by Altina instead of Robin.

Princess Armor (Nalili): A bespoke suit of armor specifically tailored to flatter Nalili's figure that can be found in her room. Pretty decent armor for that stage in the game, though technically inferior to other options. But considering that equipment like the Chainmail Bikini is expensive, it might be better to leave the Princess Armor on Nalili so other succubi can use other equipment.

Hilstara's helm (Hilstara): A heavy helm forged by the smiths of Premium Steel following Hilstara's specifications, for a decent sum of Sx. You can get it before leaving for the Ardford summit if you have invested in Premium Steel at the end of Chapter 1/start of Chapter 2. Otherwise, if you invest in Premium Steel during the Reunion, the opportunity is available again only after the conquest of Yhilin in Chapter 3. It's the very first customized item that depends on an investment decision, though it seems that the same investment unlocks other custom equipment possibilities.

Custom accessories
First Slut's pin (Yarra): She wants something that makes it clear to everyone that she is Simon's First Slut - and it should be something that is not just for decoration. A powerful lust magic artifact that requires rare materials that are probably found only in the Incubus King's domain and it would have to be forged by powerful arcane and sexual mages.

Arcane Crystal (Robin): Obtaining it sounds mundane compared to some of the other requests: fittingly for her character, Robin is going to make it herself. She only needs a large quantity of high quality magic crystal, as well as something a bit more unusual - a Seer Crystal. The latter can be bought from the Order of Yhilini Thaumaturgy, if you are on good terms with them. The former... sounds somewhat familiar. The largest problem probably would be finding a powerful enough magical forge.

Misc
Simon's Old Equipment: Simon starts with five pieces of unique equipment: Simple Blade, Cracked Helm, Worn Armor, Weathered Shield, and Old Ribbon. It doesn't really seem fair to count them with the other unique equipment, because it's all equivalent to the lowest tier or worse. It sells for more than you would expect, but it remains to be seen if it has any other purpose. The Old Ribbon is the only item that boosts Luck in the early game, making it useful for boosting the reliability of Simon's debuff abilities like Silencing Strike along with his critical hit rate, which makes Precise Strike even more dangerous. It's likely that the ribbon is a keepsake from his late wife, Wendis.

Orc Equipment: All of Orcent's equipment can be used only by him. But considering that it's implied other orcs can use it, and that it isn't very good, it isn't really in the same category.

Orc Potion: This (apparently disgusting) potion is only effective if used by Orcent. It is notable because while Orcent can drink normal potions, these are far cheaper given the amount they heal. Basically only useful in the tournament on Yarra's route, or to keep Orcent alive during the optional boss on that same route. Only future releases will show if there are any other opportunities to obtain it or use it.
