SYSTEM

How Item Rank Works

Ranked Item Options

Eligible equipment can contain special Item Rank options. Each active option has its own value and contributes to the final rarity of the item.

Final Item Rank

The system evaluates the active ranked options and their values to determine the final rank displayed on the item. A stronger individual option can also influence the final rarity.

EQUIPMENT → RANK OPTIONS → OPTION VALUES → ITEM RANK → GEAR SCORE
RARITY

Item Rank Tiers

Common Entry-level ranked equipment.
Rare Improved equipment with stronger ranked properties.
Epic High-grade equipment that can unlock the first Mastery tier.
Legendary Premium ranked equipment with access to advanced Mastery.
Mythic The highest Item Rank available in the system.

EQUIPMENT POWER

Gear Score

One Score for the Overall Quality of an Item

Gear Score combines multiple equipment properties into one value. It allows players to quickly compare the overall strength and progression level of different pieces of equipment.

BASE ITEM STATS + EXCELLENT OPTIONS + SOCKETS + HARMONY + ITEM 380 + ITEM RANK VALUES = GEAR SCORE

Gear Score is not based on Item Rank alone. Two items of the same rank can still have different Gear Score values because Excellent Options, Sockets, Harmony, Item Level and other equipment properties are also included.
ADVANCED EQUIPMENT

Advanced Gear Score Bonuses

Excellent Options

Excellent equipment receives an additional Gear Score bonus. More Excellent Options further increase the item's final score.

Socket Options

Socket equipment also contributes additional Gear Score. Items with more active sockets receive stronger score scaling.

Harmony

Harmony upgrades are included in the Gear Score calculation, with additional scaling based on the Harmony level.

HIGH-RANK EQUIPMENT

Mastery Bonuses

Epic Mastery

125% Multiplier

Equipment reaching at least Epic Rank can activate the first Mastery Bonus level when the required ranked option conditions are satisfied.

Legendary Mastery

150% Multiplier

Equipment reaching at least Legendary Rank can unlock the stronger Mastery Bonus tier when its requirements are met.

Mastery Bonuses reward high-rank equipment even further, creating another progression step beyond simply obtaining a better Item Rank.
ITEM COMPARISON

Rank and Gear Score Are Different

Item Rank

Item Rank represents the rarity and quality of the special ranked options generated on the equipment. It determines whether the item is Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary or Mythic.

Gear Score

Gear Score represents the overall power of the complete item. It considers both the ranked options and the rest of the item's upgrade properties.

PROGRESSION

Building Better Equipment

Look for Higher Item Ranks

Higher-ranked equipment contains stronger ranked properties and provides a path toward Epic, Legendary and Mythic gear.

Do Not Ignore Gear Score

A higher rarity does not automatically mean every item is stronger. Compare Gear Score and the actual properties of the equipment before replacing your current item.

Improve Existing Equipment

Item Level, Excellent properties, Sockets, Harmony and other upgrades can all contribute to the overall Gear Score of an item.

Reach Mastery Ranks

Epic and Legendary equipment can unlock additional Mastery progression, giving high-quality equipment even more long-term value.

MUELEON EQUIPMENT PROGRESSION

Find Better Ranks. Build Higher Gear Score. Unlock Mastery.

Item Rank shows the rarity of your special equipment properties, while Gear Score measures the overall strength of the item. Combine strong Rank Options with Excellent, Socket, Harmony and advanced equipment upgrades to build the most powerful gear possible.
