__NOTOC__
==Introduction==
[[Items]] can be found in various [[rarity|rarities]], being imbued with special modifications that grant passive buffs to their wielder. These [[modifiers]] can also be crafted with [[currency|currencies]] which enchants another modifier to the item or rerolls it. For every item there are a certain amount of [[modifiers]] that can apply to it and the navigational box above links to pages which shows which modifiers can be enchanted on a item.
 
==Mechanics==
For items there are mainly two types of modifiers; implicit and explicit modifiers. The modifiers have a required level associated to them and will only spawn on items with an [[item level]] greater than or equal to the modifier's level. A modifier will increase the required level of an item to 80% of the modifier's level if that value is greater than the level requirement for the base item.
 
===Implicit modifiers===
Implicit modifiers can be changed with currencies such as {{il|Blessed Orb}} and {{il|Vaal Orb}}.
 
===Explicit modifiers===
Explicit modifiers can be enchanted and rerolled with currencies such as {{il|Orb of Transmutation}}, {{il|Divine Orb}} and {{il|Regal Orb}}. When enchanted the item will gain [[affix]]es that can be further categorized into '''prefixes''' and '''suffixes'''. For example, a {{il|Long Bow}} with the {{Ml|LocalAddedColdDamage1}} prefix and the {{Ml|StunDuration1}} suffix would be named {{c|magic|Frosted Long Bow of Impact}}. {{c|rare|Rare}} items have their names randomly generated from a list of rare names and do not follow this system.
* A {{c|magic|magic}} item may have up to one prefix and one suffix.
* A {{c|rare|rare}} may have up to three of each.
* A {{c|unique|unique}} items have custom and fixed amount of modifiers.

Goat's Horn 2 Magic Transmutation orb.png | {{il|Orb of Transmutation}} upgraded the {{il|Goat's Horn}} to a {{c|magic|magic}} item and enchanted a prefix explicit modifier.
Goat's Horn 3 Magic Augmentation orb.png | {{il|Orb of Augmentation}} enchanted a suffix modifier.
Goat's Horn 4 Rare Regal orb.png | {{il|Regal Orb}} upgraded it to {{c|rare|rare}} item and enchanted an additional suffix modifier.

===Hybrid modifiers===
Some modifiers can have multiple [[stats]], for example {{Ml|LocalIncreasedPhysicalDamagePercentAndAccuracyRating8}}. These stats are summed together with other identical stats such as {{Ml|LocalIncreasedPhysicalDamagePercent7}}, giving the max value of {{c|mod|{{#expr: {{Ml|LocalIncreasedPhysicalDamagePercentAndAccuracyRating8|display=max|statid=local_physical_damage_+%}} + {{Ml|LocalIncreasedPhysicalDamagePercent7|display=max|statid=local_physical_damage_+%}} }}% increased Physical Damage}}.
 
Since the stats of the modifiers are summed together it makes it difficult to tell with certainty if a sentence is generated from a pure modifier, hybrid modifier or multiple modifiers. Be aware of which types of hybrid modifiers exists and have that in mind when determining how many prefixes and suffixes an item has.
 
===Local and global modifiers===
* '''Local''' modifiers can only spawn on ''items'' that have the stat by default. For example, the mod {{Ml|LocalIncreasedPhysicalDamagePercent4}} can spawn on [[sword]]s because it is a weapon with base physical damage. The mod won't affect the damage on an off-hand weapon when [[Dual Wielding|dual-wielding]] and won't increase physical damage added from other items like [[ring]]s.<ref name="Globalvslocal"/>
* '''Global''' appears on all items, but will affect the ''character'' instead.<ref name="Globalvslocal"/> All modifiers with a condition are global, {{il|Scaeva}} for example has a ''local'' '''and''' ''global'' [[critical strike chance]] because one modifier is conditional.
