Four checks before buying
| CHECK | WHAT TO KNOW |
|---|---|
| Compatibility | Class, level, stats and handedness |
| Base value | Attack / wizardry / defense |
| Options | The exact bonuses your build can use |
| Set effect | Which bonuses become active or disappear |
Prepare for the journey
Check off what you have ready before entering, crafting or changing your build.
Step by step
- 01
Check class and stat requirements first. An item that cannot be equipped is not an immediate upgrade.
- 02
Compare base damage or defense separately from Excellent options. Each option can solve a different build problem.
- 03
For an Ancient or Set item, count which pieces activate the next set bonus. A single strong-looking piece may not complete a useful breakpoint.
- 04
Test the full equipment arrangement, including lost set effects, rather than replacing one piece based only on its name.
What makes the difference
A higher item level can come with worse usable options. Compare the complete build after equipping, not only the largest number on one tooltip.
