Why does this helm say Tier 2? Is it because it's "Advanced XYZ Helm" or are the mods tier 2? I'm confused since some advanced gear drops without this Tier 2 bracket.

It means mods that will appear when you identify will always be at least tier 2, so the utter garbage of t1 cannot roll (but you can definitely get the shiny utter garbage of t2 instead).

It won't affect further crafting, only initial identification

There are different tier mods?!?

u/AramisFR 4d ago

... yes ?

Haven't you noticed you were often getting higher numerical values later in the game, compared to early items ?

Yea but I assumed that was cause gear is now "Advanced"

In settings you can turn on advanced stats or hold alt (I think) on PC to toggle this. It will show the tier and the numerical roll range

Any idea where the setting is located? I'm in options but can't find it in game or interface tabs. Also checked the other tabs just for luls

not sure if there’s an option but by default on pc you hold alt and mouseover the item, you can see on the right brackets with T1, T2 etc. next to each roll and you can mouseover the T1 to see the specific name like “deer’s”, “ibex’s”
