Modifiers

Initial version (2026-05-27): modifier system for weapons, armor, and trinkets
Modifiers in Romestead are permanent stat bonuses that roll on weapons and armor. They never expire, do not require any upkeep, and are not the same as Altar Blessings (which are temporary and only one can be active). Random enchants on dungeon-found trinkets joined the system in patch 0.23.1_3.
Weapon mods alter damage, speed, range, and critical chance. Common rolls and their effects:
Modifier | Effect |
|---|---|
Sharpened | +5% damage, -5% speed. |
Swift | +10% speed, -5% damage. |
Reaching | Increases melee reach. |
Pristine | Stat boost without major tradeoffs. |
Precise | Improves critical hit chance. |
Forceful | Improves knockback / impact. |
Masterwork | Mid-tier broad-stat boost. |
Legendary | +15% damage, +10% speed, +5% range, +5% crit chance. |
Armor mods alter defense, knockback resistance, and damage taken. Common rolls:
Modifier | Effect |
|---|---|
Bulwark | +10% knockback resistance, -2 armor. |
Hardened | +1 armor, -2 melee damage. |
Weak | Negative roll; reduced armor. |
Anti-Hex | Magic resistance bonus. |
Pristine | Clean bonus without major tradeoff. |
Legendary | +2 armor, +2% to multiple defensive stats. |
Modifiers appear on dropped gear with a random chance. They can be re-rolled by crafting the item again (consuming the materials a second time). Boss-tier gear can carry both standard modifiers and unique boss-themed bonuses. The Pilum cannot get random enchants (set in patch 0.21.1_6), preserving the simplicity of thrown spear builds.
Trinkets found in dungeons now roll random enchants since patch 0.23.1_3. These behave like weapon and armor modifiers (permanent, no upkeep) but apply to the accessory slot. See Trinkets.
System | Duration | Slot |
|---|---|---|
Modifier | Permanent | Bound to the specific weapon/armor item. |
Blessing | Active until swapped | Altar; one active at a time across the seven gods. |
Talent / Favor | Permanent | Spent Worship Points in a god's talent tree; persist across all sessions. |
