A named item starts from a base weapon/armor, then improves a few stats by random amounts inside fixed bands. Durability is always modified, then two other stats are improved. The tables below show the resulting possible min–max ranges — an actual drop lands somewhere inside them, so use the high end as the "god-roll" ceiling, not a guarantee.
| Type | Durability | The other rolled stats |
|---|---|---|
| Weapons | ×0.9–1.4 | Regular dmg ×1.1–1.3 · Direct +8–16% · Armor dmg +10–30% · Shield dmg ×1.5–2 (if >15) · Head +10–30% (if >0) · Max Fatigue ×0.5–0.8 (if <−9) · skill fatigue −1–3 |
| Ranged | ×0.9–1.4 | As weapons, plus accuracy +5–15% and ammo +1–3 (throwing) |
| Shields | ×1.2–1.6 | Melee Def ×1.2–1.4 · Ranged Def ×1.2–1.4 · Max Fatigue ×0.7–0.9 · skill fatigue −1–3 |
| Armor | ×1.1–1.25 | Max Fatigue +3–9 (to a max of −8 total) |
| Helmets | ×1.1–1.25 | Max Fatigue +1–4 (to a max of −4 total) |

Named weapons
Base Dmg is the underlying weapon's damage; Max Roll is the highest the named version can reach. Every column sorts.
One-handed
Two-handed
Ranged (also roll +5–15% accuracy, +1–3 ammo)
Named shields
Named body armor
Named armor only ever improves durability and fatigue — but the best (Enhanced Coat of Plates at up to 400) outclasses anything craftable.
Named helmets
Legendary items
Fixed uniques — same stats every time, with an effect you can't get anywhere else. These are the blue-glow drops worth reorganizing a brother around.
Weapons
Body armor
Helmets
Shields
Attackable locations can hold one or two named items beyond what champions carry. The chance scales with the location's resources and distance from the nearest settlement — far-flung Orc/Goblin Settlements, Barbarian Sanctuaries and Undead Necropolises/Buried Castles have the best odds (roughly +33% base before the distance bonus), while small hideouts are near-zero. Each item is about equally likely to be a weapon, shield, helmet or armor, and a location's own theme item is twice as likely as a generic one. Legendaries come from specific legendary locations and crisis rewards.
