Equipment Grade System

The Equipment Grade System is a mechanic that allows players to determine the quality of their equipment by revealing a Grade. Each grade defines how many Random Options an item can receive and affects the possible strength of those options.

This system is designed to:

  • add controlled randomness to equipment progression,
  • prevent instant best-in-slot items,
  • create long-term item hunting and improvement goals.

Grades can be determined only once per item and cannot be changed or rerolled.

General Overview

When the grade of an item is determined:

  • The item receives a Grade (I, II, or III)
  • Based on the grade, the item gains:
 * 1 random option (Grade I)
 * 2 random options (Grade II)
 * 3 random options (Grade III)
  • Each option is rolled independently with its own value range

Important rules:

  • Grade determination is irreversible
  • Items that already have a grade cannot be graded again
  • Items that do not support options cannot receive a grade
  • The grading item is consumed regardless of the result

Which Items Can Be Graded

Only equipment items that support random options can receive a grade.

Supported categories include:

  • Weapons
  • Armors
  • Garments
  • Shoes
  • Shields

Grade Determination Chance

The first step is checking whether a grade is successfully determined.

There are currently two grading modes, depending on the item used to initiate the process.

Mode Item Chance to obtain a grade
Standard Property Identifier 40%
Guaranteed Magic Property Identifier 100%

If this check fails, the item remains unchanged and no grade is applied.

Grade Distribution (When Successful)

If the grade determination succeeds, the system rolls which grade is applied. The probabilities depend on the grading mode.

Standard Mode

Grade Number of Options Chance
Grade I 1 option 80%
Grade II 2 options 15%
Grade III 3 options 5%

Guaranteed Mode

Grade Number of Options Chance
Grade I 1 option 65%
Grade II 2 options 25%
Grade III 3 options 10%

These chances apply only after a successful grade determination.

Random Options per Grade

The grade determines how many random options the item receives.

Grade Options Granted
Grade I 1 random option
Grade II 2 random options
Grade III 3 random options

Each option:

  • Is selected from a predefined pool based on its slot
  • Has its own minimum and maximum value
  • Is rolled independently

Option Value Scaling by Grade

Option values scale with the grade slot.

  • Option 1 uses the Grade I value range
  • Option 2 uses the Grade II value range
  • Option 3 uses the Grade III value range

This ensures that:

  • Higher-grade items receive more options
  • Later options can roll stronger values
