Clothing enchantment summary

Clothing Enchantment Overview
Most clothing and jewelry items that you find in the game give passive bonuses to numeric stats like your skills, abilities, and armor class. Others can be activated to cast a certain spell some number of times per rest. These magical enhancements are indicated by standard phrases before and after the item's name. A random loot item can have a maximum of one prefix before its name and one suffix after it. Unique quest rewards and unique chest loot items have unique names and may have any number of predetermined enhancements, or even penalties.

Passive bonuses typically do not stack, so if you have an item that gives +1 Charisma and another that gives +3 you will only receive +3, not +4. (The stacking rules only apply to positive bonuses; penalties always apply.) Accessories with skill bonuses generally come in the full range of values starting at +1 and capping out at +15. The usual progression for random loot items is +1, +3, +5, +7, +10, +11, +13, and +15.

You may only wear one of each kind of accessory, except for Rings, of which you may wear two. Warforged may wear clothing accessories just like anyone else. (Robes are not accessories. They follow different rules.)

How rings work
Some enhancements appear only on certain items, such as Ogre Power appearing on gloves and bracers primarily and on rings much less often. Rings do not have their own unique set of possible enhancements. Instead, rings may have any combination of prefix and/or suffix that is legal for any other accessory, with the exception of the Armored and Spell Focus prefixes which appear on bracers only. So you can find a Charismatic Ring of Elvenkind (as available on a cloak), or a Charismatic Ring of Inner Focus (as on a helm), but not a Charismatic Ring of Springing. Springing normally comes on boots, so rings of Springing can only be paired with a prefix that is also available on boots (and Charismatic doesn't come on boots).

Prefix
Note: A single item can have 1 or 2 Spell Focus prefixes, only one of which is included in the name of the item. So, you could have an Enchantment Bracers of Sustenance with Enchantment Focus, Abjuration Focus, and Heal +5.

Suffix
This list does not include spell charge suffixes.

Prefix Suffix Pairings
To see which prefixes can be paired with which suffixes in random loot, please consult the following chart. Not every pairing is available on every item slot; prefixes and suffixes are still limited to the slots per the above tables.
