What are the item rarities in Valiant?

Six: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Named, Legendary, and Artifact. Higher rarities roll more affixes; Named and Legendary items add unique effects, and Artifacts are the raid-only top tier with six affixes and a unique ability.

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: 6 rarities, 73 affixes that roll with quality tiers, 105 unique 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	Affixes
Common	Grey	0-1
Uncommon	Green	2
Rare	Blue	3
Named	Purple	4 + a unique effect
Legendary	Orange	5 (1-2 fixed + 3-4 rolled) + unique identity
Artifact	Red	6 (4 fixed at max + 2 rolled) + unique ability

Note

Artifacts are the raid-only top tier. Their four fixed affixes are pinned at the very top of their bands, so every copy is excellent — see Raids.

Affixes & quality tiers

There are 73 affixes (37 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

105 legendary items live in zone-specific pools, so where you hunt shapes what can drop — and every one is unique, with its own named effect. Each carries 5 affixes: one or two fixed ones that always appear, plus the rest rolled fresh on every drop. Named (purple) items sit just below, carrying a unique effect on top of strong rolls. Browse them all in the Legendary Database.

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 116: 104 standard ones (26 stats across 4 tiers) plus 12 tier-5 "ancients". Socketing an inscription into a filled slot replaces the old one, so choose with intent.

Note

The sixth socket is the ancient slot — only ancient inscriptions fit it, and they drop exclusively from raid bosses (one per kill). Unlike artifacts, ancients are tradeable.

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.
