Path of the Abyss has a ton of loot. Once you get your Discovery high and Mana Pollution peaking, enemy groups are dropping enchanted loot like it's nothing. This guide is a quick overview of how to predict what you might get when you identify those mysterious enchanted items. It'll also tell you how to predict what the quality of those items are, such as "Miracle" or "Poor."

This guide is a work in progress and I will add more information as I figure it out. I plan to add a small section of Blessings at a later time.

Of course, a big thanks to Suzuki Suzuzou for this amazing game.

Before being identified, items in your bag are labeled by their type and can be followed by various enchantment types of that unknown item. The enchantment types are listed after the item type in brackets. For example, [Protect]. This section describes what each of the enchantment types may translate to when the item is identified.



For unidentified enchanted items, there will be a plus sign, "+," followed by a number. For example, in the picture above, ?Shield +2 [Enchant] [Quick]. This means that the unidentified shield has two enchantments, one of the [Enchant] type and one of the [Quick] type.

Sometimes, there will be occasions where the number after the plus sign (+) exceeds the number of listed enchantment types. This means that that item will have multiple enchantments of the same type. For example, in the picture above ?Armor +2 [Protect]. This will have two enchantments of the [Protect] enchantment type. Although rare, I believe I've seen the same enchantment stack, giving the appearance of less enchantments than you'd initially expect.

For each enchantment type, here's the list of what it may translate to upon identifying the item. This list is certainly incomplete, as I'm still playing through the same, but I think that any missing modifiers can be figured out by the ones listed below. (I'll continue to update this as I figure out more).

This enchantment type seems to mostly focus on enhancing magic damage.

Items can have prefixes describing their quality. The quality of an item will alter it's bases statistics, but doesn't seem to alter enchantments. This section describes the qualifiers and my estimated impact on the items (no data mining performed) and is very WIP.



Lower item's base stats by (25% - 55%)
Raise item's base stats (10% - 40%)

After completing some floors in the game, the party will be able to understand the shopkeeper's speech. You may recall that at the start of the game, it just says, "OOOOoooooOOOO." The primary value in this is that the shopkeeper will give you a hint regarding the Quality of items before actually identifying them. What the shopkeeper is doing is describing the Quality (prefix) of the item, rather than the actual value (though that can be estimated based on the cost to identify).



Here's a list of hints, and the Quality (prefix) that they can represent.

• Power

• No Qualifier (normal)
  
• High-grade
  
• Worn

• Poor

• Miracle
