Identifications

An Unidentified Legendary Dagger

Identifications are ways to increase the effectiveness of weapons and armor. Only Unique, Rare, Legendary, Fabled, Mythic, and Set Items can be Identified. Items may have up to 27 identification bonuses. There are a few exceptions to this, such as Bob's Mythic Weapons or the Infused Hive Weapons, where each weapon will have have set bonuses when bought. When items are first found they are usually unidentified, as shown in the picture. However, the item can become identified in exchange for emeralds when it is taken to an Identifier. Doing so will reveal the item's name, requirements, identification bonuses, and slots.

The possible identification bonuses are listed below.

Loot Bonus Mechanics

Loot bonus increases the quantity of items found from mob drops and loot chests. However, it works slightly differently for chest loot, for balance reasons (as explained by Jpresent): "The first 20% loot bonus give 20% bonus as it always did. The second 20% loot bonus, however, gives only 15% actual loot bonus. The third 20% adds only 10% loot bonus, the fourth only 5%. This makes the first 80% loot bonus give only 50% actual loot bonus. After that every 5% loot bonus give 1% extra actual loot."

Thorns and Reflection Mechanics

Both thorns and reflection deal damage back to enemies that hit you (thorns for melee attacks, reflection for projectiles). If activated, a mob's attack is reflected back at them for 150% damage, while an enemy player only takes 50% damage. The percent value of the ID only represents the chance that it is activated upon any given hit.

Major Identifications

Major IDs are a new type of unique Identifications introduced in the 1.19 Silent Expanse Update. Major IDs are only present on specific items, are not randomly rolled, and provide a wide range of effects that cannot be acquired elsewhere. Because of this, some of these IDs are only available with certain Classes or builds. The list of known Major IDs is currently incomplete.
