How items work

Rarity, item level, tiers, prefixes and suffixes in short.

In short

Gear can carry a rarity: 15 of them, from Common to Transcendent. The rarity decides how many modifiers a new item gets and how many prefixes and suffixes it may carry.

Every item has an item level (1-150) from where it dropped. The item level decides which tiers its modifiers can roll: T1 (lowest) to T8 (highest).

Prefixes are damage and defence, suffixes utility, resistances and speed.

Orbs change items (Orbs tab); the crafting bench shows what each would do. Legendary powers roll only from Legendary.

Uniques have fixed stats and are never changed by orbs.
