Accessories and materials | Equipment | NiOh NiOh Guide

This section of NiOh guide describes the available accessories that grant bonuses to attack and defense. We have also explained the meaning of crafting materials.

Accessories bolster resistance to elements

One of the more interesting and useful elements of equipment are accessories that you can equip your character with. These play several roles, of which two most important ones are bonus to defense and bonus to attack. The most common accessories are talismans, prayer beads and charms. At any time, you can wear two pieces of accessories. When it comes to defense, individual elements ensure special effects, whereas charms provide you with additional defense against elements. You can easily tell which element a given accessory protects against, by looking at its name, e.g. Water/Air Omamori Charm.

Thanks to smithing materials, you can upgrade your weapon/armor, or forge a new one

The game also allows you to use smithing materials, thanks to which you can craft new equipment or upgrade what you already have. Also in this case, there are several types of materials and they have been divided in accordance with their quality: standard, higher quality, high quality and top quality. Depending on the material class, you can craft selected items, or re-forge an existing one to increase its statistics. You can do that at the blacksmith's in the starting point.
