- Best Earring Perks
- Best Ability Perks

- Best Weapon Perks
Now, we get it, best is a bit like choosing your favorite snack – totally subjective, especially in the crazy realms of PvE and PvP.
↖ Best Armor Perks
S Tier:
- Health: Controversial but now more accessible with Season 4 crafting. A bigger health pool suits all playstyles.
- Enchanted Ward & Elemental Aversion: Reduces damage from light and heavy attacks. Watch categorization, as they play in the same sandbox.
- Refreshing: Game-changing cooldown reduction. Keep an eye on the cap – four is the magic number.
A Tier:
- Sturdy Energy: A must for tanks – stamina regen on heavy chests.
- Conditioning (Thrust & Slash): Mitigates slash and thrust damage, invaluable in burst situations.
B Tier:
- Elemental Harnessing: Adds flavor to attacks but beware of the Empower cap.
- Freedom & Physical Aversion: PvP gems but less impactful in PvE.
- Shing Fortification: Situational – appreciated by tanks but not universally powerful.
C Tier:
- Vigor & Invigorated: Useful against burns, bleeds, and poisons, but healing usually suffices.
- Elemental Conditioning: Limited space, a headache to get, and situational.
D Tier:
- Empowering Breaker: Highly situational due to rare blocks.
- Luck: Great for chest runs, not expeditions. Adds no team value.
↖ Best Amulet Perks
S Tier:
- Health: Your safety net – 7% extra health turns the tide.
- Protection (Flame, Frost, Nature, Void): Elemental hugs, reducing damage by 15%. Perfect for mutations.
- Empowered: Longer-lasting empowered for DPS players.
A Tier:
- Stamina Recovery: Tanks and Healers, keep that stamina pool full.
- Fortified: Tanks rejoice – make your fortifies last longer.
B Tier:
- Divine: Extra incoming healing – a healer's ace.
- Fortified Recovery: More fortify below 50%. Quick fortify boost when things get dicey.
- Refreshing: Good on armor but crowded on the amulet.
C Tier:
- Shocking & Debilitate Cleanse: Medium equip load players, this one's for you.
- Purify: Cleanses debuffs when at half health. Situational but handy.
D Tier:
- Alacrity: Making haste last longer. Fun for tree-chopping adventures, not for combat.
- Look: Great for chest runs, but for serious expeditions, it's just taking up precious space.
↖ Best Ring Perks
S Tier:
- Hearty: A stamina boost! Dodge like a pro with 10 extra stamina.
- Damage (Flame, Frost, Nature, Void): Extra damage for your main weapon type.
- Leeching: Life steal for everyone! Damage players, stay alive in the chaos.
A Tier:
- Keen Awareness: Great swords, crits galore for that sweet Serenity damage boost.
- Hasty (Flame, Frost, Nature, Void): Add spice to attacks with burns, frostbite, or other ailments.
- Infected: A little disease for strategic plays or boss messing.
B Tier:
- Feeling: Extending debuffs is handy but reapplying them is a breeze.
- Purifying: Situational, perhaps in PvP, not useful in PvE.
- Refreshing: Good on other gear, but the ring is VIP territory.
C Tier:
- Crippling: Great in PvP, meh for PvE.
- Luck: Better left on the amulet and armor.
- Poisoning: Limited weapons, limited love.
D Tier:
- DTI (Do This Instead) Perks: Crippling, Luck, Poisoning – real head-scratchers. PvP use but not in PvE.
↖ Best Earring Perks
S Tier
- Refreshing: A breath of fresh air. Ideal for freeing up space on armor.
- Purifying Toast: Cleanse debuffs with a sip. PvP champs, take note!
- Empowering Toast: Sip a potion, get an Empower. A cooldown dance, but it's a toast party!
A Tier:
- Healthy Toast: For potion-chugging healers. Mana potions giving you health? Sign us up!
- Regenerating: Solo players, steady health every second.
B Tier:
- Nimble: Almost fashionably slow stamina regeneration.
- Duplicating Toast: The cheapskate's choice.
C Tier:
- Healing H: Burst healing with your H Rune. Situational.
- Fortifying Toast: Empower and fortify for a hot minute. Cool but questionable.
D Tier:
