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 secondary abilities it can possess. Up to three secondary abilities can be on a piece of Gear. Besides the main Ability, any secondary abilities are chosen randomly. Frequent usage of the same Gear will fill its secondary abilities more quickly.

Usage

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