Attribute combinations

From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
(Redirected from Item Nomenclature)
Jump to navigationJump to search

Attribute combinations are the sets of bonus attributes that can be found in equipment and upgrade components across the game. They are commonly referred to as prefixes in equipment pieces, suffixes in upgrade components, and colloquially as stats.

All combinations have at least one designated major attribute, and up to two minor attributes. These designations determine the numeric bonus assigned to each attribute. All major attributes receive the same first bonus, and all minor attributes receive the same second bonus, which is always smaller than the first. These bonuses are determined by the total amount of attributes the prefix is made of, as well as the level, rarity, and type of the equipment piece.

For example, the Hearty prefix (and Heartiness suffix) is the combination of toughness as the main attribute and vitality as the minor.

Crafted trinkets, crafted ascended weapons, and crafted ascended armor have custom prefix names replacing the default nomenclature. Gemstones and jewels have custom suffix names as well, which are the same as the custom prefixes of crafted trinkets.

Attribute bonuses at level 80[edit]

The following table summarizes the attribute bonuses available on equipment of level 80 of all types and rarities.

Since upgrade components provide endless possibilities, while not following any consistent patterns, they are not included. Jewels are an exception because of their limited range of options, as well as the nature of ascended trinkets. 1

3 attribute combinations correspond to "Major(x1) Minor(x2)", 4 attribute combinations correspond to "Major(x2) Minor(x2)", and the Celestial prefix corresponds to "Major (x9)". With a few exceptions, only Ascended and Exotic rarities have 4 attribute or Celestial options.

  • 1 Ascended rarity jewels do not exist, and ascended trinkets and back items do not have an upgrade slot. However, the attribute bonus a "theoretical" ascended jewel would provide is already included in the final bonus. The stat values attributed to the ascended "jewel" would be:
    • 3-stat — Major (x1) 32 and Minor (x2) 18.
    • 4-stat — Major (x2) 25 and Minor (x2) 12.
    • 9-stat — Major (x9) 13.
  • 2 Currently only know for Exquisite Charged Quartz Jewel, which is missing two of the nine attributes usually found with celestial equipment, and is thus only included seven instead of nine times in the final grand total.
