"Tier" vs "Level"
As per mark_ggg, essences are (intenerally) at least ordered by levels https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/50380o/ziggyds_essence_league_cheat_sheet/d70xtv7
The community has been calling them tiers though, and ziggy's spreadsheet reflects that too. Not sure with what to go here unless GGG states they have a preference for either --OmegaK2 (t|c) 22:38, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
- A recap, as I understand it: The essence affixes represent the magnitude of the mods that they imbue; these form a progression (GGG calls these "levels" internally). Which affixes you can find is determined by the area level (GGG calls these "tiers" internally). —Vini (t|c) 01:13, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- I've been thinking about this a lot, and the more I think about it, the more GGG's internal terminology (as described by Mark) makes sense. However, ZiggyD and possibly many others in the community have already settled on the "backwards" terminology. I don't think we should enforce GGG's internal terminology if that will introduce confusion in the way people already understand how the essence mechanics work. —Vini (t|c) 03:57, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
