Item Rarity & Affixes

Explanation of MetaMorph's item rarity system (Common to Legendary) and how affixes impact gear effectiveness and build synergy.

Understanding item rarity and affixes is crucial for evaluating gear and optimizing your character. Items in MetaMorph follow a standard rarity system:

• Common (Grey): Basic stats, no special affixes.
• Uncommon (Green): Slightly better stats, 1-2 minor affixes.
• Rare (Blue): Good stats, 2-3 significant affixes.
• Epic (Purple): Excellent stats, 3-4 powerful affixes, sometimes a unique passive effect.
• Legendary (Orange): Best stats, 4+ powerful affixes, always a unique and often game-changing passive effect. These are often tied to specific boss drops or challenging quests.

Affixes: These are the additional bonuses an item provides beyond its base stats. Examples include: '+10 Strength', '+5% Critical Hit Chance', 'Reduces cooldown of shapeshift abilities by 10%', 'Grants a shield on hit'. Always compare items not just by their base damage/defense, but by the utility and synergy of their affixes with your build. A rare item with perfect affixes can sometimes be better than an epic item with irrelevant ones.
