Notes[edit]

Special cases[edit]

  • The Bison Cup's armor bonus looks like a "real" inscription, but it can't be changed. As a result, it functions as an inherent mod, not as an inscription. It falls under the bonus armor category.
  • The Chimeric Prism is a focus with armor bonuses that have a requirement. Therefore, those bonuses function like base shield armor and fall under the core armor category.
