How can I tell the rarity of the item?

There are a lot of items in the game, but how can I tell what is valuable/rare and what is not?

The up/down thumbs seem very subjective, how does it decide that 3% protection is more valuable than 6% resistance or +1 to a skill?


Solution 1:

According to their wiki, the adjectives of an item will tell you the maximum number or attribute points the item can have. A Pristine Godly item will be best possible combination for armor. The page has a really nice chart for you to see.
