Equipment Traits
Equipment Traits refer to magical enhancements which can be found on all forms of equipment and interacted with via enchanting. Some traits are restricted to only certain equipment types, and each trait either takes up a prefix or suffix slot. Most traits scale their power to the rarity and equipment level of the equipment it is on; a blazing enchantment on a level 50 unique weapon will do more damage than one on a level 5 rare. The amount of enchantment slots are determined by the rarity of the equipment:
| Rarity | Prefix Slots | Suffix Slots |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 0 | 0 |
| Uncommon | 1 | 0 |
| Rare | 1 | 1 |
| Epic | 2 | 1 |
| Legendary | 2 | 2 |
| Unique | 2 | 2 |
