Apprentice's Trousers

Arcane legwear acquisition and critical strike bonus

The Apprentice's Trousers are bought from the Tavernkeep using Defender Medal tokens once any mechanical boss has fallen. Delivering 10 defense, these trousers enhance summon damage, add 20% magic critical strike chance, and raise movement speed by 20%. This large critical strike bonus substantially boosts spell burst potential without sacrificing mobility across boss arenas and dungeon chambers, aiding evasive maneuvers during high-intensity boss encounters and invasions.

Agility in the Old Ones Army and summoner synergy

Worn alongside the Apprentice's Hat and Apprentice's Robe, they form the Apprentice set. The 20% movement speed increase helps players dart between lanes to maintain Flameburst sentries and whip priority targets. Combining this legwear with accessories like the Hercules Beetle and Sorcerer Emblem builds a highly effective hybrid loadout capable of clearing invasion waves and subterranean dungeon hallways efficiently during tough encounters.
