• Hired hirelings get a basic kit (wood, stone or leather tool and plain clothes) for their job. Upgrades come from the owner's Storage Chest within supplyRange (96) blocks; every 30 seconds hirelings look in storage for a better tool or armor. Gear grade: 0 wood/stone/gold/leather, 1 iron/chain, 2 diamond, 3 netherite; an enchantment adds one. A shield blocks about half of what comes from the front. Rings in the Accessory slot give +1 to a stat by gem: Ruby STR, Topaz DEX, Onyx or Diamond CON, Sapphire or Quartz INT, Amethyst WIS, Emerald CHA (other gems CHA).

A hireling has 8 gear slots: Main Tool, Secondary Tool, Head, Body, Legs, Hands, Feet and Accessory. They are shown on the Crew Board's Equipment tab, where a click takes a piece off and back to the Storage Chest, and a click on an upgrade equips it (shift-click equips everyone in that job).

See Job Tools and Work Gear for each job's kit.
