Dino Gear: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:00, 19 July 2026

Dino Gear is Equipment for your tamed Creatures. Where the player wears weapons and armour, tames wear saddles and bardings that make them faster, harder-working, and tougher in a fight. Dino gear is freely re-equippable and never consumed, so a single piece can be moved between creatures as your stable changes.

Gear slots and stats

Each creature has three gear slots (the trinket slot was added in v0.36.9):

Slot	Focus	Stats granted
Saddle	Work & speed	Swiftness, Worker buff
Barding	Combat	Guard, Power
Trinket	Utility	Upkeep, expedition score, or veteran XP

The four dino-gear stats:

Swiftness — how quickly the creature moves and works.
Worker buff — a saddle multiplier that boosts the bonus a creature gives when assigned as a worker (for example ×1.15 = a 15% larger worker bonus).
Guard — the creature's defense and survivability in combat.
Power — the creature's attack; party power also feeds into your own attack on hunts.

Saddles specialise in getting more out of your workers; bardings specialise in fighting strength. A well-kitted creature runs both a saddle and a barding.

Saddles

Saddles are made by Crafting and grant swiftness and a worker buff.

Saddle	Swiftness	Worker Buff	Source
Fiber Saddle	+2	×1.05	Crafting
Hide Saddle	+5	×1.10	Crafting
Grainwoven Saddle	+9	×1.15	Crafting (Farm materials)
Frostpine Sled	+12	×1.18	Crafting
Skyleather Saddle	+14	×1.20	Crafting

Bardings

Bardings are made by Crafting and Smithing and grant guard and power.

Barding	Guard	Power	Source
Hide Barding	+3	—	Crafting
Bone Barding	+6	+2	Crafting
Bronze Barding	+9	+3	Smithing
Iron Barding	+13	+5	Smithing
Obsidian Barding	+18	+8	Smithing
Silver Barding	+15	+6	Smithing
Moonstone Barding	+22	+10	Smithing

(Silver and Moonstone bardings were added in v0.36.9 to fill the gap up to the top tier.)

Trinkets

The trinket slot (added v0.36.9) holds a utility piece, all made by Crafting:

Trinket	Effect
Warm Blanket	Worker meals come 25% less often (lower upkeep)
Vale Charm	+5 expedition score while the creature marches
Drillmaster Whistle	+25% veteran XP for the creature

Exclusive gear

Beyond the craftable tiers, a handful of dino gear pieces drop nowhere on the crafting bench:

Cache Relics — the Wayfarer's Saddle, Sunfeather Saddle, Stormfang Barding and Bulwark Barding, found only in Trail Caches on Expeditions. See Relics.
Mark Exchange — the Huntmaster's Saddle (+10 swiftness, worker buff ×1.30) and Trailwarden Barding (+15 guard, +10 power), bought only with Fang Marks earned from the Contract Board.

These sit above the craftable gear and are the best-in-slot creature equipment.
