Gear
Only weapons and sets we can match to an item in the 1.0 game files. Tiers come from those files; a “likely match” agrees on 4–5 of 5 perk slots rather than all of them.
Darya's StaffprimaryStavesT1likely matchThe main weapon: a loot staff the 1.0 files let roll from item level 1 to 55. Load Shroud spells (the files hold them from item level 27) — Spellslinger raises the staff's damage and Dark Arts the Shroud damage.
Darya's WandsecondaryWandsT5–T7Shroudlikely matchShroud wand, T5–T7 in the 1.0 files (likely match) — Dark Arts applies; Spellslinger does not, it is staff-only.
