Values in bold are affected by the rarity or element of the item.

Necrotic Tome (Weapon)

Found deep in the Doomwood forests, this tome has the power to give life or to destroy it – both of which may come at great cost to the wielder.

• When Dealing damage with this item’s Gem Color, there is a 35-50% chance to apply a stack of Doom on the enemy.

A pointed reminder of those who came before, forged from a piece of a slain Arachnitaur’s armor.

Necrotic Sign (Necklace)

Due to its sharp point, this necklace doubles as a tool for stripping the bark from dead oak trees.
