Lootbound Items

The grid is the item slot

If ten helms fit, the game will let you wear ten helms. If a class-locked sword will not accept the current hero, it still occupies the same kind of cells on the companion who can swing it. Treat every drop as a shape that wants a home, then read the family.

Unequipped loot is flavor text

A shape in the reward pile, a preview you cancelled, or a piece you kicked off the board to make room is not in the next fight. Companions follow the same rule. The inventory page is the packing ritual; this page is what you are packing.

Once you accept that the board is the catalog, the next screen to learn is the loot card — because you only get one seat.

One card, one seat

The in-game prompt is blunt about the one-item rule. Hovering a shape over empty cells is a test. If you leave the card without placing, you took nothing. If the outline stays red, you took nothing. A “full” screenshot of three pretty borders is still zero upgrades.

Blacksmith is not a second loot card

Later nodes can hand blacksmith gems that drag onto a seated piece to raise its stats. Playthroughs treat the enhance as permanent on that item. Do not spend a gem on a fringe you will discard next biome. Gem names and exact bonuses stay TBA — they modify a category you already packed; they are not a fifth family on this table.

If you do not know which family you just picked, the next section is the only index this wiki will publish until names are logged.

Weapons are not always the damage

Weapons carry the offensive stats, and many auras only fire on a weapon type — swords-only is the usual example. That is why a compact common blade touching two legal auras can out-hit a louder spear parked on the far edge. [Into Indie Games](https://intoindiegames.com/walkthroughs/tips-tricks/lootbound-beginners-guide/) makes the same point: moving a weapon one tile can be the upgrade. Exact weapon names stay off this table on purpose.

Armor is a district, not a slot

Armor pieces stack Armor, Health, Resistance, and the defensive bonuses Paladin kits want. Playthroughs also show a plate lock and a helmet lock as separate synergy lines — a thorns aura that only paints plate will ignore a generic “armor” neighbor. Steam never reserved a head row. If four helms fit and the aura wants helms, four helms is a legal kit.

Accessories and consumables are the small pieces

Accessories are why Initiative, Order, and Chaos show up on a board that already has a sword. Consumables are the drinks and bombs. Both look skippable next to a legendary bar. Both are how a run actually lasts. Details sit in the two sections after the keep-or-drop table.

Before you chase a gold border, learn why the banner is the last column.

Rarity is a hint, not a rank

The full rarity ladder and every unique name stay TBA. Do not plan a run around a copied “+40 on four swords” story problem. One recorded tooltip mixed several stats on a single un-rotatable piece — tradeoffs exist, and the live number is whatever that item says today. Count legal neighbors. Then open auras if the glow is the part you still do not trust.

Class lock beats banner too

A Paladin-only plate on the Witch grid is furniture. A Bard instrument lock on the Warrior is a tourist. Pack the classes role, then the rarity. The mid-page table below is the keep / drop / rotate call once the outline is green.

Three questions, in this order

What family is it? Does it feed an aura I already seated? What do I throw out to make room? If the answer to the last one is “the cluster that is carrying the run,” leave the drop on the floor. Inventory space is the scarce currency — gold-bordered Lootbound items are not.

When the hero bag is full, look sideways

Steam wants a separate set of equipment for the hero and each companion. If the hero is dense and a Paladin is hollow, “keep” can mean “keep, but not here.” That is also why accessories deserve their own pass — they are the pieces that change who acts first.

Initiative is a packing stat

You cannot drag a companion earlier on the combat bar. You pack Initiative onto the body that should move first. Accessories are the usual seat. Named rings and charms stay TBA. If the Paladin’s hold lands after the Witch’s curse, the round was packed backwards — combat is the turn-order page; this page is why that accessory was on the wrong grid.

Order and Chaos pull opposite ways

Do not sprinkle both on one board and hope they average out. Order wants the armor district. Chaos wants the curse kit. A single accessory that lists both is a tradeoff, not a free win — read the line, then pick a side. Damage-type matchups that those stats feed sit on damage types.

The last family is the one new players park on a companion and then cannot drink.

Do not let potions break a district

Consumables are temporary. Park them on the fringe or in a single-cell gap so using one does not rip a hole through the damage cluster. Xbox also lists Alchemist’s Apprentice — buy fifteen consumables in the Hub — which is how we know drinks are a real meta category, not flavor. A two-consumable carry cap stays TBA until we log the 1.0 bag.

Hero bag is the only backpack you click

Because combat is hero-only, a potion on the hero is the only potion you can spend. A “full” companion grid stuffed with drinks is a misread of Lootbound items, not extra storage. If the hero bag is the bottleneck, drop a fringe accessory, not the last heal.

Which leaves the question every wiki visitor types next: how many items are there, really?

Collection is not a first-run job

A first expedition is a packing puzzle. You will not see 400 shapes, and you should not reroll a working kit to “discover” a banner. If you are hunting Collector later, keep a mental note of families you have never seated — a new accessory lock is a discovery; a third copy of the same sword is not. Confirm the live wording on Xbox and Steam before you treat 400 as a patch-proof number.

What we will add when names exist

When a reliable 1.0 dump exists, this page grows into a filterable index — name, family, shape, lock, aura side — not a wall of guessed titles. Until then, the useful page is the one that teaches you to refuse a legendary that does not fit. The last pass is the mistake list.

One habit that fixes most of them

Before you leave the card, say the family out loud, then look at the grid that can use it. If the outline is green and the lock matches a neighbor, seat it. If the glow dies, slide. Then take the sequel page — the backpack is how these Lootbound items become a build.
