Every equippable item on Ebonhold now comes with an affix, a unique bonus effect randomly selected when the item is created.
Feature Overview
- Random but relevant affixes on every equippable item when it's looted / crafted.
- Purchase latest dungeon/raid gear, with the affix of your choice using emblems as a currency.
- Build-driven meta - "Best gear" depends on your Skill Tree and your playstyle.
- More customization - A new layer of creativity and personalization for your build.
Why We Built It
We have two main objectives with gear affixes: support the Torment mode and enable further personnalization of your character.
Support the Torment System
Ebonhold introduces Torment Mode, allowing players to infinitely scale world and raid difficulty.
If the world can grow harder than ever, you need ways to grow stronger than before. Affixes offer that extra layer of progression.
Empower Creative Builds
With Specless, players can craft hybrid or unconventional loadouts.
Affixes extend that freedom to your equipment, letting you seek out items that align with your unique role or specialization, whether you're tank-focused, healing-oriented, hybrid DPS, or something entirely different.
How It Works
Whenever an item is created, whether looted or crafted, an affix relevant for the piece is randomly selected and attached to the item.
You didn't get the affix you wanted on your last loot? Don't worry, we've got you covered.
With the usual emblem vendors available, when you cqn purchase the affix of your choice.
What This Changes
- Build-specific optimization - "Best gear" now depends entirely on your loadout and playstyle.
- Deeper customization - Gear becomes a core part of your character's development.
- Stand strong in Torment Mode - Affixes give you the power needed to face endless challenges.
The Gear Affix System turns looting into discovery once more.
Finding the perfect piece is no longer just about item level but about synergy, creativity, and mastery.
