# 🎽Gear System

Gear represents your character build and long-term progression.

Unlike cosmetic items, gear directly affects gameplay performance and strategy.

### Core Gear Attributes

Each gear item is defined by:

* Type (Shoes, Armor, Gloves, Glasses)
* Rarity Tier (Common → Divine)
* Durability (wear and tear over time)
* Efficiency Stats (earning, recovery, discovery, cost reduction)

**Gear Rarity Tiers:**

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th>Tier</th><th width="189">Description</th><th width="166">Earning Potential</th><th>Crafting Requirements</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Tier</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td><td><strong>Earning Potential</strong></td><td><strong>Crafting Requirements</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Common</td><td>Basic, free starter gear</td><td>Base rate</td><td>Minimal materials</td></tr><tr><td>Rare</td><td>Enhanced performance</td><td>Improved</td><td>More fragments required</td></tr><tr><td>Super Rare</td><td>Superior functionality</td><td>High</td><td>Significant investment</td></tr><tr><td>Epic</td><td>Exceptional performance</td><td>Very high</td><td>Substantial fragments</td></tr><tr><td>Legendary</td><td>Premium equipment</td><td>Extremely high</td><td>Rare materials</td></tr><tr><td>Divine</td><td>Ultimate tier</td><td>Maximum</td><td>Most expensive to craft</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Four Equipment Types:

* **Glasses:**
  &#x20;Reduces long-term maintenance costs
* **Gloves:** Increases chance of obtaining fragments
* **Armor:**
  &#x20;Accelerates natural energy recovery
* **Shoes:** Improve earning rate for $GEAR tokens

* Greater efficiency
* Faster progression

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.gearrunner.app/game-modules/gear-system.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
