Gear ability

Gear Abilities (or Abilities) are special attributes given to Gear.

Description

The amount of Abilities available for a given item is designated by its rarity (number of stars). The more stars in a piece of Gear's Star Count, the more Abilities it can possess. Up to four Abilities can be equipped per piece of Gear. After the first Ability, each successive Ability is random. Frequent usage of the same Gear generates more Abilities to equip.

Usage

At level 20, a player can add ability slots to gear with fewer than four abilities by giving Spyke a Super Sea Snail. If an item already has four abilities, Spyke can re-roll them instead, replacing them with other abilities.
