Minecraft Dungeons 2 Builds, Planner, Database, and Guides
Minecraft Dungeons 2 is a sequel to the 2020 ARPG from the makers of Minecraft. Here at Maxroll we've been hard at work putting together a complete database with all of the game's items. If you want to go deeper you can use our planner to theorycraft your next build. In addition we've got a beginner's guide to get you started, resources where you can deep dive on game mechanics, and builds you can use to clear packs and wreck bosses.

Guides
The beginner's guide is a great place to start, but in addition we have several dedicated resources which you can deep dive into individual mechanics. You can learn how to get every enchantment in the game, find secret talisman locations, and use the map to quickly and easily locate new activities.
Map Guide
First up, our map guide goes over all of the available map markers, different regions in the world, and what activities you can find in each. Farming in specific regions is crucial because your drops are different based on where you go! You can always check this by using "View Area Items" after opening the world map.
Guaranteed Unique Items
Many unique items are random drops. But some quests reward you with Unique items in addition to the random items. This is a great opportunity to get a boost when you're progressing through the campaign as many of these items are useful for starting a build.
Enchanting
As you clear dungeons and rifts you gain enchanting books. Then, spend enchanting points and Echo Shards to apply enchantments to your items. You can enchant your weapons and armor, each enchantment can be upgraded from level 1 to 3. If you want to swap the enchantments, head back to the Enchantsmith and use the disenchant feature to reclaim your enchantment points. Our guide includes a list of all enchantments, how to get them, and more.
Talisman
Talismans provide passive bonuses to your character, you can have 3 equipped at any given time. Unlike gear, they do not have item power, instead they start at level 1 and gain experience to level up to 3. Our Talisman guide covers all of the talismans available in Minecraft Dungeons 2, what they do, and how to get them.
Secret Talismans
Endgame Farming
Endgame activities in Minecraft Dungeons 2 include dungeons, rifts, and Soulstorms. You can farm each of these to obtain more items and improve your build. Most notably, Special and Unique items dropped from Soulstorm chests have an additional affix, making them the most powerful items in the game! Check out our full guide to learn everything you need to know about farming in the endgame:
Database
We have a complete database for Minecraft Dungeons 2, this includes plenty of information you can use to find the best items for your build.
For example, armor pieces are all parts of an archetype. This determines the effects (affixes) which you can roll.
You can also find information on individual items like the Fist of Iron. Here you can find level and scaling information, where something drops, and more!
