Gearing Improvements [Top]
How should we know when some candidate shoes on the ground are better than the ones I’m wearing
Good things to look out for
- Resistances (Fire, Cold, Lightning, All Elemental Res, Chaos)
- Movement Speed ( for boots and only boots )

Considerations
- Tier (1 [best] - 9 )
- Roll
- Local (affects this item and things done with this item) vs Global (affects the character)

- Armor, Hats, Shoes, Gloves (Armorer's Scraps) and Weapons (Blacksmith's Whetstone) can have their local defences or physical damage improved via quality (giving them the "Superior" name) increase is proportional to base rate, multiplitively (max 20% for the most part)
