Engravings are an easy way to improve your stats and damage in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Here is how you can equip these engravings.

Engravings will be an important part of making your character stronger in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. You can find these items over time through various side quests and assassination targets. However, you might face some challenges trying to figure out how to actually use these engravings.
Here is how you can equip engravings onto your gear in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
How To Equip Engravings in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

You can equip engravings onto your gear quite simply. However, you will need to unlock your forge to do so. So, make sure you have a forge built at the hideout.
Once you are finished with that, upgrade this forge to level two. Now, if you talk to Blacksmith Heiji, you will be able to set the engravings into your weapons. You can do this through the newly unlocked Engrave menu. These engravings will surely provide you with a much-needed power boost to make your missions easier.
However, you should note that you can’t equip legendary engravings until your forge is level three. This could take a considerable amount of resources (and time) on your part.

Level/Material | Crops | Wood | Minerals |
1 | 40 | 30 | 10 |
2 | 350 | 260 | 90 |
3 | 700 | 520 | 170 |
Level two can be reached without much hassle; however, getting the forge to level three might take a lot of time, as the resources involved are nearly double. You should try to pick out good farming routes to obtain all these materials.
Once this building has reached level three, you can upgrade your weapons to level 60 and also use any legendary engravings you pick out. That was the complete guide on equipping engravings on your gear in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
