Affixes and Rarities

Main Article: Infernal Artifacts League/Affixes

The three rules that govern affixes.

Affixes are bonus effects that roll on equipment. Every equippable item with stats can carry affixes. Affixes are the main source of character power in the League.

Three rules decide what an item can roll:

• Rarity sets how many affixes the item has.
• Item level sets how strong each affix can be.
• Item type sets which families of affixes can appear.

Rarity

Rarity sets the number of affixes. Rarity also caps how many affixes can come from each category.

Rarity	Affixes	Max offence	Max defence	Max utility
Common	0	–	–	–
Uncommon	1–2	–	–	–
Rare	2–3	2	2	1
Epic	3–4	2	2	2
Legendary	5–6	3	3	2

Ancient and Primal

High-rarity items have a small chance to roll a stronger variant.

Variant	Chance	Effect
Ancient	1% of Epic and Legendary items	+20% to every affix
Primal	0.1% of Legendary items	+50% to every affix Every affix rolls at its maximum value Can raise the affix tier ceiling above the normal limit for the item level

Item level and item type

• Each affix has up to five tiers. Each tier has a value range and a minimum item level.
• An item rolls only the tiers at or below its item level.
• The equipment slot decides which affix families can roll. Affixes belong to one of four categories: Offence, Defence, Utility, and Skilling.
• The in-game Affix Guide lists every affix, its tiers, and the slots that can roll it.

Artisan's Forge

Main Article: Infernal Artifacts League/Artisan's Forge

The Forge tooltip lists each function and the League Tier that unlocks it.

The Artisan's Forge reshapes affixed gear. Use the Demonic Anvil to open the Forge interface. Each function unlocks at a League Tier.

Function	Unlocks at	Effect
Melt	League Tier 1	Destroy items for materials.
Improve	League Tier 1	Upgrade affix values on items.
Transplant	League Tier 3	Move affixes between items.
Masterwork	League Tier 5	Final affix boosts.

Melt

• Melt breaks down affixed gear into materials. Melted items are destroyed.
• Bulk buttons add every item of a rarity to the crucible. Locked items are safe from bulk addition.
• Melting an item with an unbanked Demonic Power does not add the power to your Demonic Codex.

Improve

• Each affix progresses from Tier I to Tier V. Each tier has 10 micro-steps.
• Upgrades have a 100% success rate. Upgrades never fail or break your equipment.
• Costs scale with tier. Low tiers require Upgrade gems and Forge Dust. Tier IV and Tier V require Forge Cores.

Materials

Material	Source	Use
Forge Dust	Melt	Improve
Upgrade gems	Melt	Improve, low tiers
Forge Cores	Melt	Improve, Tier IV and Tier V
Brimstone Thread	Melt	Trim skilling outfits

Demonic Powers

Main Article: Infernal Artifacts League/Demonic Powers

A Demonic Power is a special effect on an item, separate from its affixes. The item tooltip lists the power below the affixes.

• Extract a power to bank it in your Demonic Codex.
• The Melt interface labels each power as Unbanked Power or Already Banked.
• You must choose one: melt the item for materials or extract the power.

Skilling Outfits

Main Article: Infernal Artifacts League/Outfitter's Bench

Prospector jacket grades: normal, Trimmed, Gilded, and Stitched.

Skilling tools and skilling outfits roll skilling affixes only. The category caps do not apply to skilling gear. The affix count still follows the rarity.

• Buy skilling outfits with skilling tokens.
• Skilling affixes are active while the item is equipped or stored in the tool belt. Affixes from both sources stack.
• Use the Outfitter's Bench to upgrade an outfit piece. Each upgrade raises the item level, which raises the ceiling for its affixes.

Grade	Suffix	Item level
Normal	–	10
Trimmed	(t)	40
Gilded	(g)	70
Stitched	(d)	100

When you upgrade a piece, choose one of two options:

• Reroll gives the piece a fresh rarity and fresh affixes at the new item level. This option has no extra cost.
• Keep scales the current rarity and affixes up to the new item level. This option costs extra Upgrade gems and Forge Cores.

Relics

Relics unlock by League Tier. Each player chooses one relic per tier. Every player also receives the passive effects of each tier.
