What are the item rarities in Valiant?

Five: Common (grey), Uncommon (green), Rare (blue), Named (purple), and Legendary (orange). Higher rarities roll more affixes, and Named and Legendary items add unique effects on top of their stats.

What's the difference between Item Score and Fit Score?

Item Score is objective, class-agnostic power — a single number for how strong an item is in a vacuum. Fit Score re-weights that same item by your chosen stat priorities (Core, Wanted, Minor, Ignore), so it tells you whether an item is an upgrade for your build specifically. The green upgrade arrow and auto-equip use Fit Score.

How many equipment slots are there?

Twenty wearable slots, including paired rings, earrings, and wrists, plus three weapon slots (primary, secondary, ranged). Two-handed weapons occupy the off-hand too.

Items, Affixes & Gear

Valiant's loot is built for people who love loot: 5 rarities, 72 affixes that roll with quality tiers, 100+ legendaries, socketed inscriptions (up to 6 per item), and 20 equipment slots. Two numbers help you sort it all: Item Score (raw power) and Fit Score (power for your build).

Rarities

Rarity is rolled per drop — the same base item can fall as a plain Common or a jackpot Legendary. Higher rarity means more affixes and, at the top, unique effects.

Rarity	Color	Rolled affixes
Common	Grey	0–1
Uncommon	Green	1
Rare	Blue	2
Named	Purple	3 + a unique effect
Legendary	Orange	4 + a unique identity

Affixes & quality tiers

There are 72 affixes (36 prefixes and 36 suffixes). Each rolled affix also lands a quality tier — low, mid, high, or perfect — with its own value range. That's why two Rares with the same affixes can be worlds apart: it's the roll quality that separates a vendor item from a keeper.

Named & legendary items

100+ legendary items live in zone-specific pools, so where you hunt shapes what can drop. A handful are one-of-a-kind uniques — Dawnbreaker, Heart of the Mountain, Crown of Whispers, Stormstriders, the Signet of the Forge — with fixed, build-defining powers. Named (purple) items sit just below, carrying a unique effect on top of strong rolls.

Sockets & inscriptions

Items roll 1 to 6 sockets (the first is guaranteed; each additional one is progressively rarer). You fill them with inscriptions — there are 108 (27 stat types across 4 tiers). Socketing an inscription into a filled slot replaces the old one, so choose with intent.

Note

The sixth socket is reserved for future raid content — most gear you see will top out at five usable sockets for now.

Upgrading gear

Any item can be upgraded up to +10 using Refined Ore, gaining +5% to its stats per level — up to +50% at +10. Pouring ore into a great base is one of the most reliable power gains in the game.

Armor weight & weapons

Armor comes in three classes — cloth, leather, plate — and heavier gear shifts your balance toward mitigation and away from skill potency. Weapon rules: a two-handed weapon takes the off-hand slot too; a shield enables blocking; and Berserkers and Assassins can dual-wield one-handers for builds that reward it.

Item Score vs. Fit Score

Item Score answers "how strong is this in general?" Fit Score answers the question you actually care about — "is this an upgrade for me?" — by re-weighting each stat by your priorities:

Priority	Weight
Core	×3
Wanted	×2
Minor	×1
Ignore	×0

Fit Score drives the green upgrade arrow, the Upgrades-only filter, and priority-aware auto-equip. Set your priorities once and the game stops flagging "upgrades" that don't suit your build.
