GILGAMESH II

Maybe it's kind of silly responding to a comment from two years ago, but just in case, (a) I'm glad you like the game so much ^^ and (b) I think just about every item in the game does have some really handy applications, but it depends a lot on your build and what point in the game you're at etc., plus what sort of playstyle you're using (e.g you'll rely more on certain items if you're trying to avoid using gold). A lot of the items are useful to patch up specific gaps in your build, like as an alternative to speccing into another class and leveling it to get some skill you would otherwise want; if you're trying to level a specific character/class combo up to 8 as fast as possible, there's usually some palette of items that will help a lot with that. Sometimes they're fun for RP reasons and things too of course.

psssst…over here…i got somethin' for ya if that's a bother

EDIT: the above link now points to version 2 of the guide which is much more comprehensive than the first version and also includes a more proper tutorial; if you still want version 1 for some reason it's here

also if anyone wants to see a high-res version of the "glossy card" part of the start screen, here's that as well

EDIT 6/24/25: i fixed the above links. note that the guide is a little stale now because more things have been added to the game—it's still broadly useful, just no longer as comprehensive. i have plans for a v3 but lily and i are actually planning out a lot of new stuff to add to the game rn so i might wait until there's a lull in development or something.
