Item rarity: the 4 colors

Critical

Items have 4 color-coded rarity levels:

•WHITE (Normal): no stats
•BLUE (Magic): 1 or 2 stats
•YELLOW (Rare): 3 to 6 stats
•ORANGE (Unique): fixed special stats with a unique name
•To upgrade: Orb of Transmutation (White → Blue), Regal Orb (Blue → Yellow), Orb of Alchemy (White → Yellow direct)

Item Level (iLvl)

Critical

Every item has a hidden « level » based on where it dropped.

•iLvl decides which STRENGTH of stats an item can have
•A zone-40 item cannot have the strongest stats: even after crafting
•Endgame target: iLvl 81+ (drops from tier 15+ maps)
•iLvl is NOT the requirement level to wear the item: it's separate
•See an item's iLvl: hover it and press Alt key

Quality (0–20%)

Important

Items have a hidden « quality » percentage that boosts their base properties.

•Higher quality = more armor / weapon damage / flask recovery / gem effect
•Caps at 20%
•Currencies that raise quality:
◦Armourer's Scrap: armor pieces
◦Blacksmith's Whetstone: weapons
◦Glassblower's Bauble: flasks (potions)
◦Gemcutter's Prism: skill gems
•★ Apply LATE, not early. Wasting quality on test items burns your stockpile

Mod slots: how many stats fit

Important

Each item has limited room for stats.

•Magic (Blue) item: max 2 stats: 1 prefix + 1 suffix
•Rare (Yellow) item: max 6 stats: 3 prefixes + 3 suffixes
•« Open slot » = an unused stat spot
•You fill open slots with currencies like Exalted Orb (adds a new stat)
