Gears are Items dropped by Clockwork Knights, Clockwork Bishops, and Clockwork Rooks. They can also be rarely found by digging up Graves and harvesting Tumbleweeds.

WX-78 can consume Gears to restore 75 Hunger, 60 Health and 50 Sanity. Prior to the WX-78 Character Rework Update, WX-78 could increase their maximum stats by consuming Gears, but this is no longer the case. Maximum stat increases are accomplished with Circuits instead.

Tips

• A player can destroy the many Broken Clockworks in the Ruins to obtain them, which can yield a lot of gears. A player can also get them by defeating Damaged Knights, Damaged Bishops, and Damaged Rooks. They can also repair Broken Clockworks with 3 Gears to spawn an allied version of one of the aforementioned damaged chess monsters.
• When the Ancient Guardian is defeated, the Large Ornate Chest has a 77% chance to contain between 3-6 Gears.
• Gears in the Ruins are renewable, as killing the Ancient Fuelweaver regenerates the Ruins. All Broken and Damaged Clockworks and the Ancient Guardian 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 Twins of Terror each drop 3-5 gears (6-10 in total) and can be summoned every 15 days using the Terrarium.
