White Mods
White Modifiers are calculated first, before Blue, Yellow or Gold Modifiers. As such, white-text values are usually considered the "base" value for most statistics.
| Modifier | Effect |
|---|---|
| Absorption Warding Energy +X% | A base statistic of Energy Shields. This determines the proportion of damage that will be dealt to the energy shield, rather than character health points. This white-text modifier is the base value, which can be increased by the blue bonus of the same name. |
| Armor Type +X | Increases protection against a certain damage type by a static amount. |
| Attack Value +X | Increases attack value by a static amount. |
| Attack Speed +X% | Increases attack speed by a percentage. |
| Block Warding Energy +X | Increases Energy Shields' "thickness" - the amount of damage that is ignored completely when the player is hit by an enemy. |
| Chance to Pierce +X% | Adds a percent chance that the player's projectiles will pierce their target and continue on to hit other opponents behind the first. |
| Casting Speed +X% | The item with the highest modifier of this type adds a percentage increase directly to the player's Combat Art execution speed, but not attack speed. (confirmed for melee CA) |
| Defense Value +X | Increases defense value by a static amount. |
| Max. Shield Energy +X% | Increases the energy points of the player's Energy Shields by a percentage. Energy points are like hitpoints for Energy Shields. |
| Regeneration Penalty +X% | Positive figures increase the amount of time Combat Arts will take to regenerate, negative figures will reduce the amount of time. Every piece of Armor has a white-text Regeneration Penalty modifier. |
| Shield Regeneration +X% | Increases the regeneration rate of Energy Shields. |
| Speed +X% | Unlocks attack speed or casting speed with the appropriate skill, e.g., Sword Weapons. |
Blue Mods
Blue Modifiers are calculated after White Modifiers, but before Yellow and Gold Modifiers. Blue Modifiers are the most numerous type found on items.
| Modifier | Effect |
|---|---|
| Absorption Warding Energy +X% | Increases the white-text base value of the same name. It is added to the white-text mod of the same name in order to determine the amount of damage that is split between the player's health and their energy shield. |
| All Combat Arts +X | Increases all current Combat Arts by a static amount. Increasing Combat Art levels with items gives the full bonus to the Combat Art level with only half the regeneration time penalty compared to Runes. |

| Chance to Dismount Opponent +X% | This mod was supposed to give the player a chance to dismount mounted opponents (e.g., Goblin Boar-riders, Kobold Wolf-riders), but it does not work and it was removed in Ice and Blood. |
| Chance to Disregard Armor +X% | Adds a percent chance to bypass the armor (resistances) of an enemy. This will allow an attack to inflict higher damage, as if the opponent had no resistances. |
| Chance to Evade +X% | Lowers enemies' base hit chance based on a player's base defense as per this formula: new enemy hit chance = old enemy hit chance / (1 + evade/100). Any item, attribute, skill or Combat Art that adds defense, excluding +X% Defense, is considered a player's base defense. |

| Leech Life From Opponents +X% | For successful every hit the player does, the opponent takes X% of Additional Damage (based on his maximum hitpoints, non-resistable), which are transferred to the character. This effect stacks, but unknown if it has diminishing returns, and is often less useful than "Life Leeched Per Hit +X" since the percentage values are very low, except when fighting bosses and mini-bosses. This only works with melee/ranged attacks and weapon-based Combat Arts. Hybrid Combat Arts can also trigger it. Does not work when using spells or secondary effects (Burn, Poison, etc.) |
| Life Leeched Per Hit +X | For every successful hit, the player gains the "+X" amount of health from the opponent´s hitpoints. This effect stacks with no diminishing returns, and is often more useful than "Leech Life from Opponents +X%" since the percentage values are very low, except when fighting bosses and mini-bosses. This only works with melee/ranged attacks and weapon-based Combat Arts. Hybrid Combat Arts can also trigger it. Does not work when using spells or secondary effects (Burn, Poison, etc.) The "+X" damage is extra, non-resistable damage. |

| Opponent's Defense Value -X% | Increases the player's chance to hit by directly reducing the opponent's defense value. |
| Regeneration Per Hit +X | Every successful hit reduces the regeneration time of any Combat Arts that are still regenerating by "X" amount of time. Non-weapon-based combat arts cannot trigger this effect, but will have their regeneration time reduced, only weapon-based attacks (both "normal" hits and weapon-based combat arts) can trigger this effect. Hybrid Combat Arts can also trigger it. This effect does not reduce "cooldown" time in any way. Only "regen" time may be reduced. For example, if the combat art Dashing Alacrity has a regen time of 2 seconds + a cooldown time of 30 seconds, only the 2 second regen time may be eliminated via Regeneration Per Hit. |
| Regeneration Time -X% | Reduces the regeneration time for all Combat Arts. |
| Run Speed +X% | Increases the un-mounted run speed of the player's character by a percentage, up to the run speed cap of 150%. It will stack with all other sources of this mod. |
