Affixes

Affixes are special attributes that can randomly generate on Gear items, making them more powerful or giving them utility.

Affix Generation Mechanics
Not all affixes can generate on all items. Several properties possessed by these affixes restrict what items can generate with them: These restrictions do not apply to the guaranteed affixes of Legendary Items, which are generated after all other affixes. As a result, Legendary items often have combinations of affixes which are unobtainable on other kinds of items.
 * Item Class Restriction (Item Class): If assigned, has a value of either 0, 1, 2, or 3.
 * 0: Affix can only appear on Weapons
 * 1: Affix can only appear on Skills
 * 2: Affix can only appear on Weapons and Skills
 * 3: Affix can only appear on Amulets
 * Required Tags: A given affix can only appear on items with all of the required tags.
 * Forbidden Tags: A given affix can only appear on items with none of the forbidden tags.
 * Forbidden Affixes: A given affix can only appear on items which have not already generated with any of the forbidden affixes.
 * Forbidden Items: A given affix cannot appear on forbidden items.

Stat-Boosting Affixes
Stat-boosting affixes are the only affixes which can be applied multiple times to the same item. Only present on Amulets as well as on "++" and "S" Weapons and Skills, they grant Stats to the player while these items are equipped. The effects bestowed by these stats are listed just underneath the white text in the item's tooltip. Note: A given item can only generate with stat-boosting affixes corresponding to that item's base scaling stats (e.g. Shields cannot generate with Tactics Up because their damage cannot scale with the Tactics stat).

Minor Affixes
Minor affixes are written in green text. The number of minor affixes on an item is limited only by the affix cap imposed by its gear level.

Major Affixes
Major affixes grant powerful effects. A single item may only have one major affix generate normally. They are written in green-yellow text.
