Shepherd

Shepherd is a rollable gear effect in Minecraft Dungeons II for players who never fight alone. It rolls as a bonus on weapons, armor, and artifacts, drawn from the gear-effect pool rather than the book-driven Minecraft Dungeons II Enchanting Guide system. Companion-focused builds — the kind that bring pets and allies into every dungeon — are its natural home.

The documented tier I value is 5%. Higher-tier figures were not captured in the available data, so the exact scaling at tiers II and III is not listed here — but like all gear effects, the rolled tier rises with threat level, and stronger versions drop on higher-threat gear.

Effect slots follow rarity: common gear rolls none, rare gear rolls one, and special gear rolls two. The rolled tier tracks threat level — always tier I below threat 3, tier III possible from threat 6, and tier III as likely as tier II at threat 15. For a full pack-master setup, combine Shepherd with Ally Effect, Pack Leader Effect, and Veterinarian so your companions hit harder and last longer.
