Gear Score

Description

Each item in your team's inventory is worth a particular Gear Score value. The average Gear Score across your whole team is then used to place you into 1 of 3 brackets used for Match Making.

Items in your inventory that aren't equipped also contribute to this Gear Score, even excess consumables.

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.

Note: Items that are both Weapons and Utilities follow the Utility rule, not the Weapon rule

Misc

Misc items do not have any Gear score.

Example Misc Items:

SlotTypeInvalid Gold Coin Purse.png

Misc are any items that cannot be equipped by anyone such as Coin Purses, Arrows, Bolts, Treasure, Hunting Loots, etc.

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Ironmace can change this very easily due to matchmaking being server sided , so this information can easily get out of date.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.
The max party size does not matter when calculating your party's gear score.

Averaging out Example and Edge cases


Example 1 - Party of 1 in Duos
Player 1 has 250 Gear Score. They are loading into Duos Ice Caves. Their party's gear score will be (200)/1 = 250 Gear Score.
They will be placed into the Medium Gear Bracket despite playing solo in a duos lobby.

Example 2 - Party of 2 in Trios
Player 1 has 200 Gear Score, Player 2 has 300 Gear Score. They are loading into Trios Crypts. Their party's gear score will be (200 + 300)/2 = 250 Gear Score.
They will be placed into the Medium Gear Bracket despite only having 2 members in the party.

Example 3 - Party of 3 in Trios
Player 1 has 597 Gear Score, Player 2 has 0 Gear Score, Player 3 has 0 Gear Score. They are loading into Trios Crypts. Their party's gear score will be (597 + 0 + 0)/3 = 199 Gear Score.
This party will be placed in the low gear score bracket despite one player having over 400 Gear Score
