Description
Each item in your team's inventory is worth a particular Gear Score value. The highest Gear Score across your whole team is then used to place you into 1 of 3 brackets used for Match Making. These brackets only affect the gear scores of the players you're matched with; they don't affect Monsters' stats, loot rarity, etc.
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.
As of a recent update, utility items of poor and common rarities no longer count towards gearscore
Note: Stacks of items count gear score for each item in the stack. For example, a stack of 3x green Potions will contribute 3x6=18 gear score.

Example Misc Items:
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Ironmace can change this very easily due to matchmaking being server sided, so this information can easily get out of date.
Normals brackets
- Low Gear Bracket(0-24)
- Moderate Gear Bracket(25-124)
HR brackets
- Minimum threshold for entry (125+)
- Low Gear Bracket(125-224)
- High Gear Bracket 225+
Game will take the gear score of the highest player and put you in that bracket.
