Every piece of gear has a tier (its colour and number of affixes), a grade (how well the
base was made), affixes whose rolls have a quality, and a generated name. Seven slots: weapon, head,
chest, pants, boots and two rings; a 24-slot bag.

Base stats also grow 10% per item level above 1. The item level is the level of the monster
that dropped it.

Grades (Itemization v2)
Each item's base is rolled a grade when it drops, scaling its base stats. Better monsters roll better grades; trash
averages ×1.00. The grade shows as a word in the name (Standard has none) and as pips on the bag tile.

Roll quality
Each affix rolls within its range; where the roll lands in that range is its quality, shown as a word, a bar and a
star on Perfect in the tooltip.

Names
Names are built from the item: the grade word, a prefix from one affix, the base, and a suffix from another, with
words picked by roll quality, for example Brutal Hunting Bow of the Hawk. Epic and Legendary items get titles
such as Gravewhisper of the Ocean, from the family of the monster that dropped them.
Affixes
Example name words, weakest to perfect roll (one per quality band).
