ilvl
Short for item level. Every piece of equipment has an ilvl that is factored into the equipment's ultimate Gear Score. In addition to class requirements, any given item will have a minimum Adventurer level in order to wear or wield the item. The formula is:
Req Lvl = ilvl - 5
with a minimum of 1. For example, an ilvl 17 dagger requires a minimum Adventurer level of 12 in order to wield it.
Tier
Every piece of equipment has an item tier that is factored into the equipment's ultimate Gear Score. Item Tiers range from 1 to 10 and correspond roughly to every 5 Adventurer levels. As an item goes up in Tier, their name will also change to reflect their higher status.
