Three different systems
Effect vs Enchantment vs Status
These three are constantly mixed up, and the game never explains them together. A Gear Effect comes with the item, an Enchantment is added later from a book, and a Status is a temporary combat state.
Gear Effect
Rolled on the item
A Gear Effect is already part of the item when it drops. It is the randomly rolled modifier that decides how good the piece actually is.
Example: Sharpness
Enchantment
Added from a book
An Enchantment is not part of the drop. You collect a book and apply it later through the Enchantsmith, so it is a choice you make, not a roll you get.
Example: Fire Aspect
Status
Temporary combat state
A Status is applied to a player or an enemy during combat and expires on its own. It is a state, not a modifier that sits on your gear.
Example: Burned
Two gear pieces can look identical and still behave differently, because the randomly rolled Effect is what changes. Enchantments are a separate layer you add after the drop.
All EnchantmentsCan this roll on my gear?

Tier I, II and III for Every Effect
A higher tier is the same effect with a stronger value. Pick an effect and see exactly how much each tier adds.
Value per tier

Companions take 5% less damage.
- Tier II10%
Companions take 10% less damage.
- Tier III15%

Higher tiers do not change what the effect does, only how strong it is. Which tiers can appear depends on your Threat level, not on item rarity.
How effect pools work
Why Can This Effect Roll Here?
A piece does not roll from all 73 effects. Its gear type, its build tendency and its element narrow the list down to the effects it is eligible for.
Step 1
Gear type pool
Weapons, armor and artifacts each have their own pool. Some effects only exist for one of the three.
Step 2
Build tendency pool
Within a gear type, a family can lean towards a role such as defensive, ranged or companion gear. That tendency adds effects the family can roll.
Step 3
Element pool
Elemental gear can also roll effects for its element, which is why a Frost weapon and a Poison weapon can end up with different options.
Pool membership comes from the verified relation data. We never guess compatibility from a similar-sounding name.

Random effect rules
How Many Effects Can Gear Have?
Item rarity decides how many random Effects an item can carry. That is why a Common piece can look completely empty.
| Rarity | Random effects | Fixed Unique effect | Maximum effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 0 | 4 | |
| Rare | 1 | 4 | |
| Special | 2 | 4 | |
| Unique | 1 | 4 |
An item can ultimately hold up to four Effects under the game's effect model.
Why Common gear looks empty
Common gear rolls zero random Effects, so a Common armor piece can appear to have nothing at all. The piece is not broken; it simply has no random modifier slot filled.
Rarity only controls how many Effects an item carries. Which tiers are available is a separate system that depends on your Threat level.
How Armor WorksFixed-only effects
Only Found as Fixed Effects
These 12 effects do not randomly roll on normal gear. If you keep farming for one, this is why it never appears — it only comes attached to specific Unique gear or Talismans.

Eligibility check
Why Can't My Item Roll This Effect?
Pick a piece and an effect to see whether it is eligible, and if it is not, what that item can roll instead.
Choose both an item and an effect to check eligibility.
Eligibility is not a drop chance. A compatible effect still has to be rolled, and the exact probability is not published data.

Tier III

Effect ↔ Talisman
Some Talismans provide a passive in the same role as a Gear Effect. These are the recovered relations between the two systems.

These are related passive concepts, not the same system. A Talisman provides a similar role; it does not grant the Gear Effect itself.
Effects vs statuses
Gear Effects Are Not Status Effects
A Status is a temporary combat state on a player or an enemy, not a modifier on your gear. Artifacts are the main source of statuses.
Gear Effect
Persistent item modifier
A Gear Effect stays on the item and works whenever its condition is met. It is part of the build, not a timer.
Example: Sharpness always increases melee damage on that weapon.
Status
Temporary combat state
A Status is applied during combat, lasts a set duration and then expires. It can be positive or negative.
Example: Strengthened increases damage for a few seconds.
