IJ2 Gear Randomization

Static vs Randomized

Static (defined in data files)

• Visual mesh/appearance (ITEMDEFINITIONSAUX.xxx)
• Character + slot assignment (CAPDEFINITIONS_ScriptAssets.xxx)
• Gear piece name (Coalesced.ENG)
• Set membership (mAssetGroup in ITEMDEFINITIONSAUX)
• Visual rarity score (DCF2GEARRARITYTABLE.xxx)
• Color palette/shader (CAPMaterialAsset + CPT textures)

Randomized (per drop at runtime)

• Gear level (1-30, based on character level)
• Rarity tier (weighted by Mother Box tier)
• Stat values (4 stats: STR, ABL, DEF, HP)
• Which visual drops (weighted by mVisualRarity)
• Augment slots (0-3)

Visual Rarity Encoding

mVisualRarity = epic_layers * 1,000,000 + rare_layers * 10,000 + common_layers * 100 + position_weight

Example: 1020005 = 1 epic layer + 2 common layers + weight 5

What Can Be Extracted

From our extracted data:

• Complete gear catalog (24,982 items)
• Visual rarity breakdown per piece
• Set encyclopedia (~205 sets)
• Shader gallery (~814 shaders)
• Ability list (~735 abilities)
• Augment types and effects
• Character accessory names

What requires binary extraction or empirical data:

• Min/max stat values per level per rarity
• Drop rate percentages per Mother Box tier
• Budget allocation algorithm
