Gear

Gear refers to the Weapons and Equipment that can be worn by a character. Each Class has access to different types of gear.

Gear is not bound by level requirements, so powerful gear can be handed down to other characters on your account freely when marked for kin or placed in the Vault, or acquired from other players via the Auction House.

Equipped and carried Gear in a player's inventory is lost on death, unless it is marked for kin or insured by the Returner.
