Dungeons & Dynasties equipment and loot

Rarity sets the size of every bonus

Rarity is a weighted draw, and it does two jobs at once: it gates which affix lines are even eligible, and it fixes the base numbers every affix on the item is built from. Percentage affixes scale off the rarity's pct value and flat affixes off its flat value, so a rare and a legendary rolling the same affix line differ by exactly the ratio between their bases.

• Common

  weight 80080.0%pct 0.09 · flat 0.05

• Rare

  weight 16016.0%pct 0.15 · flat 0.09

• Mythic

  weight 353.5%pct 0.22 · flat 0.13

• Legendary

  weight 50.5%pct 0.3 · flat 0.17

Four in five drops are Common. A legendary is a one-in-two-hundred event before you even ask what quality it rolled.

Quality bands, and why only legendaries have one

This is the part worth internalising: the quality roll happens only when the rarity came up legendary. Common, Rare and Mythic items skip it and use their rarity base unmodified; there is no Sovereign common sword. Quality is rolled once on a flat 1–100.

• Cursed

  roll 1–11%× -11 in 20,000

• Flawed

  roll 2–2019%× 0.551 in 1,053

• Worn

  roll 21–4020%× 0.751 in 1,000

• Potent

  roll 41–6020%× 11 in 1,000

• Vaunted

  roll 61–8020%× 1.251 in 1,000

• Exalted

  roll 81–9919%× 1.451 in 1,053

• Sovereign

  roll 100–1001%× 1.81 in 20,000

The last column is what actually matters for planning: the chance that any given drop is a legendary of that band. Both tails are equally thin, and they are opposites. A Sovereign multiplies the legendary base by its full multiplier; a Cursed one is the same magnitude with every sign flipped, so the item subtracts from the hero carrying it. A Cursed legendary is not merely weak. It is actively harmful, and it looks exactly as rare and golden as the best drop in the game. The band multiplies the rarity base before the affix line runs, so it compounds with lines that scale their own output.

Weighting every band by its own odds gives an average legendary multiplier of 0.988, which puts the expected percentage base of a legendary at 0.296 against 0.22 for a mythic, about 35% better on average. That is a smaller gap than the rarity colours suggest, and it is an average across a spread that includes an outcome worse than no item at all. Judge a legendary by the band it rolled, never by the fact that it is legendary.

Every equipment affix line, by slot

Once rarity is settled the game picks one affix line, weighted, from the lines eligible for that slot and rarity. The share column is that line's odds within its own slot; a line with a minimum rarity simply is not in the pool below it, which pushes the common lines up. Each bonus is shown from its weakest to its strongest rarity.

Each range runs from Common to Legendary at the standard quality band. A legendary that rolled a high band goes further still: multiply the right-hand figure by that band.

Relics are the only source of trait-granting gear

11 affix lines attach a permanent trait to whoever carries the item, and none of them can appear as ordinary loot: they arrive only through relic generation, always at legendary rarity. Several are double-edged: the weapons hand out Lone Wolf and Reckless, and two trinkets hand out Arrogant and Greedy.

Gear that counters a dungeon condition

6 lines are tagged against a specific environmental condition, one per condition, and the game highlights them when they match the delve you are about to send a party into. They roll as ordinary loot, so you cannot shop for them. The practical move is to keep whatever you find in the armoury rather than selling it.

• Stormwax Waders · Sealskin Greaves · Barrow-Kelp Boots

  flooded

• Furred Mantle · Rimeguard Cloak · Eagle-Down Mantle

  deepcold

• Everburning Torch · Sunstone Lantern · Marmot-Fat Lamp

  darkness

• Warding Charm · Spirit Ward · Kingsfoil Knot

  cursed

• Barkweave Tunic · Mossback Jerkin · Stag-Hide Coat

  frozen

• Kingsfoil Pouch · Scorchwort Satchel · Physician's Roll

  infernal

Which condition each region can actually throw at you is on the dungeon conditions page.

Minor trinkets

A separate pool supplies minor trinkets. They roll neither rarity nor quality: each carries a fixed, modest bonus and a flat value. They fill an empty slot and are not worth chasing.
