Tomes of forbidden knowledge, eldritch gems with impossible angles, and wretched talismans are the kind of things that keep warlocks from an untimely death when dealing with more than they bargained for.
Through pacts made with supernatural beings of unfathomable power, warlocks unravel arcane mysteries, often traipsing through monster-infested jungles and shadow claimed ruins.
As one of 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons’ most famous classes, warlocks can find a myriad of enchanted artifacts to help them hold their end of the bargain, lest they fail to meet the expectations of their patrons.
Put down your squids, don your finest cashmere robes and prepare your signature look of superiority as we tear open the fabric of the multiverse in search of the best equipment for your 5th edition warlocks!
Remember that wondrous items are optional in 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons, so make sure your campaign allows them before pawning your soul to your Dungeon Master.
