This page is about the intelligence attribute. For the passive skill, see Intelligence (passive skill).

The intelligence attribute is a measure of a character's knowledge and mental acuity. Intelligence is required to use intelligence-based equipment and skills.

Intelligence also provides certain inherent bonuses:

  • Every 10 intelligence grants an additional 5 mana.
  • Every 10 intelligence grants 2% increased maximum energy shield.

Base Intelligence

The Witch starts with 32 base Intelligence, the highest of any class.

The Shadow and Templar start with 23 Intelligence, the Scion with 20, and the Marauder, Duelist, and Ranger with 14.

Modifying Intelligence

Intelligence can be increased by stacking base Intelligence and/or All Attributes and X% increased Intelligence and/or Attributes modifiers.

Implicit Intelligence on Items

Many implicit modifiers provide base intelligence on items:

Intelligence on Equipment

Intelligence affixes can appear on the following base item categories. Weapons and armour must have intelligence as an attribute requirement in order for intelligence to appear as an affix, with the exception of helmets, which are unrestricted and can have intelligence regardless of base type.

The intelligence affixes range from +8 to 55 and are bracketed by item level. Intelligence as an affix is always a suffix. The highest intelligence suffix is of the Genius. The item level required for this affix is 82.

Jewels have their own suffixes which grant intelligence. Keep in mind that jewels can only have 4 affixes: 2 prefixes and 2 suffixes.

  • of Intelligence +12 to 16
  • of Spirit +8 to 10 (Intelligence and Strength)
  • of Cunning +8 to 10 (Intelligence and Dexterity)
  • of Adaption +6 to 8 (all Attributes)

In addition, Essences of Spite guarantee intelligence of +13 to 58 on any non-weapon equipment, potentially higher than without essences. This also has the added possibilities of intelligence on belts and non-intelligence armours.

All Attributes

All Attributes affixes can appear on the following base item categories. These modifiers are always suffixes.

Haku has a special All Attributes crafting suffix mod that can be crafted onto the following items:

Other Ways to Modify Intelligence

Converting one attribute to another is called transforming. This can be done on the passive skill tree by socketing certain unique jewels. In a large radius, they will transform one attribute - granted by allocated skills in the area - to another attribute.
