Every piece has its own rolls
Combat gear of purple quality or better does not have fixed attributes. Each piece rolls its own values when it drops, and may carry a special affix. Hover over an item to see everything in one tooltip: upgrade level, identification, refined attributes and affix. You can inspect other players' gear the same way.
Refining
Refining re-rolls the attributes of an item.
- Bring the item to the blacksmith in the square and open refining.
- Refine to roll every attribute again.
- Lock the attributes you are happy with, then keep refining the others. Locked attributes do not change.
Locking costs more the more attributes you hold, so decide what matters for your character first: a damage dealer and a tank want different rolls. Refining stones drop from endgame content, and world bosses in the open world are a steady source.
Special affixes
Some gear carries a special affix. These are not plain numbers. Each one is a mechanic that changes how you play - for example Dying Flame, Hero's Ballad and Unsealed Covenant. There are eighteen in total.
- Read the affix text carefully. The right affix for your character can matter more than a few points of attack.
- A very small number of items carry two affixes at once. Their names are shown in crimson, and they are the rarest items in the game.
Legendary sets
Abyss mode awards legendary sets with three attributes and bonuses at 2, 4 and 6 pieces. Set bonuses are counted per piece equipped, so plan your set before you start refining individual pieces. See the Abyss guide.
Three gear sets
You can save three complete loadouts and switch between them with one click - for example a boss set, a clearing set and a PvP set. The quick bar has three rows as well, so each loadout can keep its own skills close.
Where to start
- Level first. Leveling gear is replaced too quickly to be worth refining.
- Farm your first endgame pieces in Myth, Legend and Devildom stages.
- Refine the pieces you will keep longest - usually the weapon first.
- Chase affixes and set bonuses through the Abyss, the Demon Corridor and the open world.
