Gear Score
Description
Each item in your team's inventory is worth a particular Gear Score value. The total Gear Score across your whole team is then used to place you into 1 of 3 brackets used for Match Making.
Item's Gear Score
Different Items provide different Gear Scores.
Note: Stacks of items count gear score for each item in the stack. For example, a stack of 3x Poor Potions will contribute 3x3=9 gear score.

Misc
Misc items do not have any Gear score. Coin Purses, Arrows, Bolts, Treasure, Hunting Loots, etc. are Misc items.
Brackets
Ironmace can change this very easily due to matchmaking being server sided , so this information can easily get out of date. This information was gathered through manual testing.
Currently there appear to be 3 brackets.
Those brackets are:
- Low Gear Bracket(0-199)
- Medium Gear Bracket 200-399
- High Gear Bracket 400+
Game will take into consideration total gear score of all members in the party and then it will average it out.
