Hogwarts Legacy Best Gear

Best Gear to Equip for Early Game

Recommended Gear
Refined Dueling Gloves	Purple Dragon-Eyed Spectacles	Light Herbologist Hat
Tartan Sunrise Scarf	Crimson Patterned Robe	Celtic Attire

Equipping this gear set makes for a very balanced character, boosting both types of stats and giving you adequate offensive capabilities while maintaining durability in fights.

With the exception of the Purple Dragon Eyed Spectacles and Celtic Attire which are found in chests, all items listed in the table above are available for purchase at Gladrags Wizardwear. For the most part, gear from chests are random so you'll have to explore the world for better chances of getting gear.

How to Get the Best Gear

Swap Out Gear in the Early Game

For players just starting out in the game, it is recommended to check your gear stats then equip gear that gives you the better stats. As you explore the world, gear can quickly become obsolete so make sure to always check your current gear and swap out anything that has fallen off.

Since gear only affects Offense or Defense stats, you can compare them in the gear menu to see if you've acquired better gear.
