Gear Checker
Item level, temper, modifier slots, the legendary, relics and charms, trees and Gem Essence.
Contents
The Gear Checker plans a hero's gear piece by piece, in the app and on the website. Pick a hero, pick a slot, pick a piece, and the stats card shows the result as the game's character sheet does.
What it checks
Each slot shows its piece's item level and temper rank, with the legendary marked. The stats card adds up your stats, your item level and your modifier slots, and the Gem Essence rows show each colour's next node and how far away it is.
Item level and temper
Every piece has an item level. The Gear Checker puts a new piece at 315 and a legendary at 360. The item level on the stats card is the average of the pieces you wear; with every slot filled it matches the game's character sheet.
Temper raises a piece's stats: each level adds 1 to each of its stats, and 2 to Stamina on a piece of item level 315 or higher. A piece of item level 315 tempers up to 8 times (VIII), and a lower one fewer times; a legendary cannot be tempered, and modifiers never are.
Modifier slots
Every piece but a legendary has 3 modifier slots, the weapon too; a legendary has none. Each slot holds one modifier: an Enchant, a Radiance, a Glyph, a Sigil or an Aspect, and one piece holds at most 2 of one kind.
Glyphs, Sigils and Aspects fit only on Head, Shoulders, Back, Chest, Hands, Legs and Feet; Enchants and Radiances fit on every piece.
With one legendary worn, your other 13 pieces hold 39 modifier slots.
The legendary
A legendary goes in Head, Chest or Legs at item level 360. It has Stamina, your main stat and all four ratings, but no modifier slot, no gem socket and no temper. The Gear Checker lets you wear one legendary at a time.
Relics and charms
You wear two relics. Each relic has a power of its own, shown under its stats; it works from item level 105. Rings and relics are unique: you cannot wear two of the same.
Each relic holds one charm, chosen from your hero's charms, such as Battle Res or Portal. A charm adds no stat: it is the power the party row times. Charms attach from item level 105, and a charm marked unique fits on one relic only.
Attunement Trees
The weapon and the necklace each have an Attunement Tree, with one pick per row. The weapon's opens at item level 270, with one Aspect row, two Sigil rows and two Enchant rows; the necklace's opens at 180, with three Protective Enchant rows.
Gems and Gem Essence
Gems go in the sockets of the Necklace, the Wrists and both Rings, and a socket never takes a modifier slot. A Small gem gives 150 Gem Essence of its colour, a Large 250, a Splendid 350 and a Flawless 500.
Each of the six colours unlocks 10 nodes as its Gem Essence reaches 80, 150, 220, 300, 450, 600, 800, 1000, 1250 and 1500; nodes 6 to 10 replace nodes 1 to 5. The Orb of Hidden Riches relic (Covetous Greed) raises your Gem Essence by 25%.
Finding items
In the app the Gear Checker's Item DB button lists every item; on the website it is the Loot DB. Both list where each item drops and which heroes can use it.
This patch has no item sets.
