There are various methods to enhance your gear in Towerborne. One approach is to upgrade your equipment at the Forge. Another is by incorporating Aspects. These unique stones can be acquired in multiple ways, including completing missions and adventures, or by collecting the sparkling rock nodes scattered across the World Map. The Aspects you obtain are randomized.

Once you have some Aspects in your inventory, you can equip them to your gear or weapon by accessing your character’s Loadout menu. Select the gear piece or weapon you wish to modify. Next, look for the ‘Equip Aspects’ option at the bottom of the screen and press the appropriate button to enter the Aspects menu.

Choose which of your owned Aspects you want to attach to that specific gear item. Aspects are categorized by tiers of rarity (e.g., T1, T2) and offer a variety of beneficial traits that enhance the existing qualities of your gear.

You can attach Aspects to every equipped gear piece and your weapon for optimal benefits, provided the items have a slot for Aspects. Note that some may not feature a slot, indicated by the presence of a large triangle or diamond symbol next to the upgrade slots (as shown above).

If there are any Aspects you no longer wish to keep, you can dismantle them at Bumble’s Forge in the Belfry. This will yield Spirit Dust in return.
