Here's a Cheatsheet with Modifiers' maximum Tiers

I found it hard to assess how powerful an item is in reference to its full potential. To see the Tiers of Modifiers of an Item hold Alt in-game while inspecting it.

I gathered and aggregated the data from https://poe2db.tw/

It's not comprehensive. If there's interest, we can update it with more bases.

For the moment I looked at:
- int bases equipment: body, helmet, belt, gloves, boots
- attack weapons: bows, crossbows, quivers, 1H axe, 2H axe
- spell weapons: wands, staves, foci
- jewelry: amulets, rings

I hope there are no mistakes. Please point out if you find any.

Bring back T1 superiority

This is just an extremely hard to read cheat sheet. The colors/font on this black background is hard to see.

Of course, this is good, thanks for this, but I won’t open it every time to evaluate a new item for sale. GGG should bring back the old system. Why break something that already worked well?

GameRescue1

This new ranking system is objectively awful. This would require you to tape this sheet on the side of your monitor to see if any given piece of gear is "good". They gotta go back to low-numba-good system. When you see a 4 you know what it is. In the new system, a 4 could be BiS or trash depending upon the modifier

old system way better, no need to reinvent whell and even make it worse.

Thanks, I hate it.

Bruh how tf did they decide that this was better than the PoE 1 system?

user_88041

And how do I know what tier my stuff is?

CalvinandHobbes8111

No ICR?

Thank you for doing this OP! Your contribution to the community is a T13 or an OG T1

Cpt_Lobos1

Yeah but how do you see the tiers? I don’t see them on my items.

GoblinBreeder1

Your chart is missing thorns

Silicemis1

I mean they could just write "Tier 3 of 5" or "Tier 3 / 5" or "Tier 3 (max: 5)"

thedarkherald1101

They just need to show you what tier out of what you’re at so like t 7/8. This allows them to grow upwards and not confused people when t1 changes because of power creep or the wierdness we get with essences that had unique tiers

"This makes perfect sense and is a clear upgrade compared to the previous system!" - No one

DesoLina1

I’ll just wait till someone makes a plugin that evaluates item for high rolls

ivierawind1

How many tiers are there in total? I though there are 10 tiers only …

z1zman1

I was so on board when they said they were flipping the system. It sounded great. Work your way up tier to tier. Its logical, its how a lot of other games work such systems .

Having now played, I want the old way back. Do I have good rolls? Bad rolls? Middle of the pack rolls? Who knows!

GGZii1

T1 is best or make it say "7/9"

WingXero1

Look, can someone tell me how I can check mod tier on an item in game? Please!

NaClBlock1

Do you guys not know about poe2.db lol

ToFindTheBalance1

Wow thats really confusing tier 5 is highest for some then 8 sometimes 9 or 6 like what... Also life and es not being the same on all bases is just really odd 13 for life bit only 11 for es why? I hate this so much I love numbers being uniform and them being in a logical order.

WasteSatisfaction2361

Thanks! I'd prefer if you consistently used the columns in your cheat sheet instead of switching to "x y for rings" etc

Dream_date1

why couldnt we leave the Tiering the way it was.. why are we trying to reinvent the wheel..

NotRlyMrD1

Our hero. Now we need a helper app.  As always players to the rescue when ggg makes "design decision". 

Fufururutu1

Bring back the old system.

Butanol921

Please make the background white for some people its gard to read on black with purple letters

Kalybto1

How can u see the tiers on an item ?

_RM781

You get these drops with a "Tier 7" affix and you're like wtf does that even mean in this game...

Silasftw_1

damn so its dfifferent max tiers dependiong on both stat + where it is, they really need to add this ingame.

HappyTreeFrients1

Bro what is this spreadsheet? Why have you started with text after spirit to mess it up? Why is spell damage and accuracy not following the system of columns you've already done??

VonDinky1

Holy shit this is a dumb system

Goodofgun1

I think it's because

  1. Item tiers drop (like tier 5 on the ground) which block lower tier mods i think?

  2. Consistency with maps? Like higher tier maps - better?

it seems to me that they did not foresee how it looks in practice. if they make the game for so long, do they remember every tier and do not see anything wrong with it? it reminds me of e.g. if you played poe1 for 10 years, you do not see the game the same way as someone who starts it for the first time, sometimes new players see things that a veteran would never get. that is why they should introduce readability e.g. t1/t9

Oneshot7421

The only thing this graph tells me is that the decision to invert the tiers in PoE is just plain stupid.

skysealand1

GGG, wake the F up with the tier mods and building in dynamic loot filter

dangeor1

Hey y'all. I incorporated some feedback from you and made a more comprehensive one here https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1hj99se/updated_modifiers_maximum_tiers_cheatsheet/

Same_Effect_78371

So I am confused af is Tier 1 better than T5 ? Or how does those tiers work I mean if I find tier 5 gloves and Tier 1 who is better

chuckycheetah1

Can someone explains what this means? I’m new. Is it talking about when you get gear and it says a tier in brackets sometimes? I’ve only ever seen up to tier 5, so does it go way higher than that?

Mr_Soberish1

They need to go back to the old system... not even sure how this was thought to be a good idea in the first place

Faust7231

Wild that this sheet is even necessary. Thank you for putting it together though.

Still hope they change it at some point. Tier 1 is used as the best for like...everything else in the world. And if an mod rolls t1 you can immediately, confidently, say "Oh cool there's nothing above this". And that went out the window and now we have a sheet that we need to rely on. Hooray!
