Update 29 randomly generated loot

This randomly generated loot system was introduced in Update 29. Some prefixes (such as skills) only existed as suffixes before. Some (such as Speed and Spell Resistance) do not show up in the item's name. Many (such as Spell Lore on rings) can be found in new equipment slots. Many enchantments that were previously only on named items (such as light resistance) are now appearing. Pre-U29 items had fixed Minimum Levels that were calculated as a sum of all effects' levels. U29 allows variable bonuses for all effects (Armor/Weapon+, Prefix, Suffix, Extra) based on an item's base ML and no longer increases it based on multiple effects.

Affixes
An item can have the following affixes: enhancement bonus, prefix, suffix, and an extra.
 * Augment slots still happen on items. These are generated independently of other enchantments.
 * Double augment slot items no longer happen.
 * Cursed items do not drop anymore. Also, race restriction items (discontinued as of Update 19) continue not to drop.
 * Masterful Craftsmanship and Wondrous Craftsmanship items continue to drop.
 * Extra effects on random loot will not appear below level 10 loot. (U29P2)

Loot level, chest level and item level
The loot level affects the item's minimum level. Loot level is broken down into the "base" chest level plus various buffs.
 * Chest level is determined by quest base level and quest difficulty (Hard +1, Elite +2).
 * For the buffs, Guild Airship buff (Bash the Breakables Cargo Bay, +1), Greater Dragonmark of Finding (+1), (+1), Jewel of Fortune (+1/+2), and loot bonus server switch (usually +2) should be taken into account.
 * You can tell the loot level by the amount of plat/gold contained in the chest.

Cordovan's statement above is valid as of Update 30. Character level +5 limit for chest loot has been lifted with U30.
 * Quest reward list also theoretically still caps at 40, but you cannot have Dragonmark and Treasure Map in this regard. Current highest reward lists are level 32 raids on LE (effective level 34) with guild buff +1, Jewel +2 and server bonus +2, which makes it 39.

Enhancements

 * Each enchantment is rolled separately, within a range given by the item level. For example, a Strength bonus on a level 20 item can be +7, +8, or +9.
 * DDO Store item increases the chance to get better enchantment in this regard. (U30)
 * Insight bonus effects on items will not appear below level 10 loot. (U29P2)
 * Many of the enchantments have issues of some kind and are in a state of flux at the moment.


 * There is a chance for "Extra Lucky" loot (not to be confused with "Extra" affix slot), which increases the range of possible enchantment values beyond the usual limits. Exact mechanics unknown.
 * Chest glows blue for the entire party when someone gets "Extra Lucky" loot. (U30)
 * Chance for getting "Extra Lucky" is also unknown, however Treasure Hunter's Elixirs lists their effects as +5/+10+15, possibly something like d100 is rolled?.


 * Since enchantments are rolled independently, the same quest can generate items with vastly differing power.
 * For example, an item with weak prefix, extra lucky suffix, and extra lucky extra enchantment.
