Armor and other items will also give special stats. For example, Bone Rings boostSpell powerwhile certain Armor pieces provide increases inhealth.

That said, weapons also raise Gear level and will serve specific roles alongside just being attack weapons. For example, axes are used to get wood and give bonuses to chop down trees, swords are for chopping plants, and maces are for mining.

On top of these bonuses, weapons will also raise Gear level depending on the quality and crafting tier. So if you want to raise your Gear level in V Rising, your best bet is to unlock more crafting items by building workbenches and slaying bosses.
