Gwennen gambling is an unofficial term used by players related to strategies for obtaining Unique items via the vendor shop of Gwennen, the Gambler. This is considered one of the better strategies to target farm Unique items, especially those that are extremely rare (t1 or t0 drops). The strategy simply revolves around farming a high quantity of Broken Circle Artifacts and Astragalis in Expedition logbooks.
Player testing has discovered that Gwennen has a Tier Weight distribution that is significantly better weighted for higher tiers compared to other Unique generation strategies (e.g. Ancient Orbs, Orb of Chances). Do note that extremely low-level requirement items (e.g. Simple Robes) are uncommon to spawn in the vendor window after reaching maps.
This strategy is typically used to gamble for big-ticket items such as Headhunter, Mageblood, The Squire, or Arakaali's Fang; however, the strategy can be customized to suit the player's needs or desired items.
To optimize this strategy, it is recommended that the player obtain a regex string that can be copy-pasted into the search bar to highlight desirable bases (as several bases share the same or similar artwork (e.g. Elegant Round Shield and Baroque Round Shield). You can make your own regex string here.
Example string for Headhunter/Mageblood/The Squire: "nt ro|vy b|r be"
Gwennen, the Gambler is a cynical gambler who claims luck depends on how hard you believe. So you really need to convince yourself you’re going to get that Headhunter. If you don’t, it’s your fault.
1. Gamble a magic itemGwennen shows you a set of base types with unknown properties. When you gamble by buying one, you’ll receive a random item of that base type back. It could easily be a random magic item that you have no use for. |
Sometimes, it can be a very valuable rare or unique item. It’s probably best to prioritise gambling on base types that are most relevant to your character.
Once you have exhausted all the items that interest you, it’s possible to use a specific new currency item to reroll the gamble window to a set of new items of your current level.
Refresh the contents of this trader's inventory to a new set of items appropriate for your character level.
Sometimes a base type shows up that is a lot more expensive than it would usually be, and gambling on this item has a higher expected value than normal. You’re taking the risk that it could still be junk though!

Unearthing the Past | I bet a yokel like yourself would be eager to see some explosions. Nevermind why we're blowing things up just yet. We'll get to that. I've gone ahead and marked the locations of likely treasures and dangers. Consider me magnanimous. You can choose what we uncover, since I'm eager to see what kind of luck you possess. I'll wait back here. As far back as possible. Lay out a chain of devices. We'll make a mighty fine display. |
The Successful Job | Hah, yes, I could have been more up front about the danger... but you see, people don't take the job when I mention that the upturned ground is full of deadly creatures. It's a mighty awful land you've got here, local. A wonder anyone survives at all. Though that does speak to why I'm here in the first place... but you'll have to ask Dannig about that, if you find him. By the way, if you enjoy a bit of risk, I've got a few things I've unearthed that might be of interest to you... |
Explosive Archaeology | Remnants of ancient civilisations abound on this continent. Apparently, some of the remnants still hold mysterious influences. It's a bit of a risk to destroy one and release its energies, but the reward could be worth it. Everything unearthed after a remnant is destroyed comes up a little different. Why don't you place an explosive device near that one over there? Let's see what happens. |
Risky Remnants | So it seems destroying ancient remnants alters everything we subsequently unearth—treasures and monsters both. It's a gamble, and you know I'm always up for that. So long as you're ready to handle the consequences... with violence. |
Tujen | We've campaigned together for many years. It's taken a great toll on him, but he soldiers on. I don't know how he remains so cheery, honestly. If he loses another limb, he'll be more metal than man... |
Rog | He's a sweetheart. Have you seen the figurines he carves? The four of us use them to play this delightfully strange game he came up with. I love it because there are so many dice rolls, and, well, you know me. |
Dannig | Our intrepid leader believes in a world better than the one that truly is. He doesn't see you and me, Exile. He sees heroes. He sees grandiose myths and world-changing bravery. Don't dispel those notions. I want to live in the world he sees, even if I know it isn't real. |
Luck | During the failed rebellion, I once called out with all my heart. An arrow was arcing through the air. My arm was pinned, and I knew I couldn't get out of the way in time. I was a dead woman. But Luck answered my earnest request. Another arrow, also on a murderous path, hit the first {in midair}, and both were diverted, landing on either side of me instead! That was the first time I knew that Chance itself was a real force in this world. |
Failed Rebellion | I didn't say that. You must have misheard. |
Luck | During... an unspecified war... I once called out with all my heart. An arrow was arcing through the air. My arm was pinned, and I knew I couldn't get out of the way in time. I was a dead woman. But Luck answered my earnest request. Another arrow, also on a murderous path, hit the first {in midair}, and both were diverted, landing on either side of me instead! That was the first time I knew that Chance itself was a real force in this world. |
The King | You're pushing your luck with questions like that, Exile. Don't waste it. You'll need every scrap of fortune you can get when the time comes. |
Gods | Never heard of 'gods,' but I know I wouldn't put my faith in them even if they came to my doorstep with an army. I've already solidified my beliefs where they belong. |
Druids of the Broken Circle | I am honour-bound to discover the fate of Medved and the Druids of the Broken Circle. They believed they could see into the future by peering into the past. Hypothetically, that's a power I'd very much like to have, for reasons of chance and profit... but I'm not sure I want it to be true. If Medved and his nature-mystics were right and Time truly is a circle, aren't we all doomed to repeat our lives over and over for eternity? If that is the truth, then there is no luck. No chance, no human will. All life is just a stageplay repeating over and over. I don't think I like that notion. |
Medved | His final fate was unknown, but I do know he cast off his peaceful ways and trained with two powerful axes after he arrived here. We're not fools. We see that the dead rise here on Wraeclast. If Medved is still out there, he'll be extremely dangerous. Conserve your luck, and use it against him if you find him. |
Medved | So the Druids lost the ability to see into the past after Olroth began using Wraeclast's forbidden gems... how strange... and Medved headed off into the dark of night to challenge the leader of the creatures to a one-on-one battle, no doubt. Honourable, but foolish. There's more to this story, Exile. I hope you can find it. |
Medved's Defeat | You have put Medved to rest after all this time. Thank you. I am descended from Annest, the daughter that he sent away before the end, so I could never leave here without ensuring my ancestor's peace. That is one more step toward freedom. |
Medved's Defeat | The tale is now complete. Medved was a noble and well-intentioned hero, but the darkness of Wraeclast corrupted him and turned him toward madness. Now that he has been put to rest, I am free. Once we find the Triskelion Flame, I can return home. I must thank you for this. I am descended from Annest, the daughter that Medved sent away before the end, so his actions mark the honour of my lineage. When we return home, I will end the tale at his journey into the night to challenge evil's unseen leader. The Kalguur will know that he died in combat trying to save his people. The rest does not need to be told. |
