Gears are Items dropped by Clockwork Knights, Clockwork Bishops, and Clockwork Rooks. They can also be found by digging up Graves (chance of 3.07%).
Gears can be used to build an Ice Box and a Divining Rod, as well as boost the max stats of WX-78 by simply consuming them. In the Ruins, repairing Broken Clockworks with 3 Gears will spawn a friendly damaged chess monster (Damaged Bishop, Damaged Knight, or Damaged Rook).
Clockwork Knights, Clockwork Bishops, and Clockwork Rooks will not respawn, nor will graves after being dug. However, regenerating the ruins via the Seed of Ruin obtained by killing the Ancient Guardian will respawn all damaged clockworks in the ruins thus making gears renewable.
Downloadable Content[]
Downloadable ContentIn the Reign of Giants DLC, renewable Tumbleweeds have a chance to drop Gears, thus making gears renewable in this DLC. Also, there are significantly more Chess biomes on a map, including some with Gears lying on the ground, making Gears much easier to get.
In the Shipwrecked DLC, Floaty Boaty Knights drop Gears, thus making gears renewable in this DLC. These are currently the only reliable source of Gears in this DLC. Each Floaty Boaty Knight drops one to three Gears. There is also a small chance of obtaining Gears from digging Sandy Piles, using the Slot Machine, or digging up X Marks the Spot chests spawned by Message in a Bottle. Gears can be used to craft the Quacken Drill and to restore the durability of the Iron Wind by 25%.
In the Hamlet DLC, Gears drop from clockworks that guard Stone Thing. Gears can be bought in 'The Sty' Oddities Emporium for 20 Oincs. They are also dropped by killing Large Iron Hulk. The last two ways makes them also renewable in this DLC.
Don't Starve Together[]
Unlike the base game, in Don't Starve Together, Gears are a renewable resource. Additional ways to obtain gears exclusive to Don't Starve Together include:
- Upon defeating Ancient Guardian, the Large Ornate Chest has a 77% chance to contain between 3-6 Gears.
- The seed of ruin does not drop in DST, though killing the Ancient Fuelweaver will regenerate the Ruins. All Broken Clockworks and the Ancient Guardian will respawn as a result.
- If a repaired Marble Sculpture of a Rook, Knight or Bishop is mined during a full moon, the respective clockwork spawns which the player can kill for gears. If these sculptures are mined during a new moon, the gears drop immediately from mining the sculpture as the shadow piece is spawned.
- The player can summon Twins of Terror using the Terrarium. Each of them drops 3-5 gears (6-10 in total) and can be summoned every 15 days.
- Tumbleweeds have a 1% chance of dropping Gears, as they do in Reign of Giants.
As of the WX-78 Character Rework Update, WX-78 can no longer increase their maximum stats by consuming Gears. They can still consume them to restore 75 Hunger, 60 Health and 50 Sanity.
