Editing Max Equipment Bonuses

[[File:Crown2.png|right]]
This guide is meant to help identify the best equipment in each slot for providing particular stat bonuses (a.k.a. best-in-slot, or BiS). It also lists equipment for reducing (or increasing) [[Menaces (Guide)|Menaces]], and equipment with more specialized effects.

The guide is divided into three main sections: 
* '''Best-in-Slot Calculator''' — For a chosen stat, displays the item(s) providing the highest bonus in each equipment slot. Stats include the four main attributes (Watchful, Shadowy, Dangerous, Persuasive), [[Bizarre, Dreaded, Respectable (Guide)|Reputation attributes/BDR]] (Bizarre, Dreaded, Respectable), and the [[:Category:Accomplishments#Advanced_Stats|Advanced Stats]]. The calculator can also exclude certain types of equipment, such as [[Ambitions (Guide)|Ambition]]-specific items or ones only available by spending [[Fate]].
* '''Menace Equipment''' — These items can reduce or increase [[Menaces (Guide)|Menace]] qualities, such as {{IL|Nightmares}}.
* '''Special Equipment''' — Items boosting more uncommon qualities, such as those used in [[Knife-and-Candle (Guide)|Knife and Candle]]; and items conferring qualities like {{IL|Caprine Authority:}} that make special cards or options available.

==Best-in-Slot Calculator==
Choose a stat to optimize, and optionally exclude certain item types from the results.

==Menace Equipment==
These items affect Menace qualities—either by reducing them (to keep you out of a Menace area like [[The Mirror-Marches|the Mirror-Marches]], or get you out faster), or by increasing them. Refer to the [[Menaces (Guide)|Menaces guide]] for more information on managing your Menaces. {{FontRetired}} items are left out.
