Event quests and weekly bounties provide tickets for specific layered sets. The Steamworks facility and melder also produce random tickets. Festival-exclusive items rotate every few months and cannot be obtained after the event ends.
Layering Restrictions
Only armor of the same type can be layered together. Some early-game pieces lack layered support entirely. Layered weapons must match the weapon class, so a greatsword skin cannot appear on a bow.
