Stop Wasting Your Time: The Correct Gear Progression Path

From 2,000 damage to 500,000+ damage - The optimal path

Gear in Jujutsu Zero isn't just about equipping random items. You need specific sets at specific stages of the game. Here is the optimal path from 2,000 damage to 500,000+ damage.

Early Volcanic
Mid Heavenly
End Calamity

01 Stage 1: Early Game – The Volcanic Set

Volcanic Set

Early Game
Source Jogo Raid (Hard/Nightmare recommended)
Drop Volcanic Crate
Why get it? It is the easiest set to farm and instantly doubles your damage output compared to having no gear. It is the perfect bridge to mid-game.

02 Stage 2: Mid Game – The Heavenly Set

Heavenly Set

Mid Game
Source Sorcerer Killer (Toji) Raid
Drop Strengthened Crate
Strategy: Farm this on Easy or Hard mode. Nightmare mode gives the bosses too much HP for a similar drop rate, making it inefficient. This set is strong enough to carry you through most content.

03 Stage 3: Endgame – The Calamity Set

Calamity Set

Endgame
Source Calamity Raids / Calamity Crates

Why? The highest damage multiplier in the game, but it comes with health-draining drawbacks. Only chase this once you are comfortable with your build.

Warning: The Calamity set drains your HP. Make sure you have enough sustain or lifesteal before committing to this set.

04 Vital Tip: Upgrade Mechanics

Finding the gear is only step one. Here's what you need to know about upgrading:

1

Ascension

You need 5 copies of the same item to ascend it to Level 5. Never settle for just one drop.

2

Leveling

Raids drop gear, but Mini Boss Quests drop "Cursed Crates," which give Gear EXP. You must do Mini Boss quests to actually level up your equipment.

3

Stats Priority

Always prioritize in this order:
