Accessories in Arcane Lineage have long been a key way to boost your character’s stats, offering both flat and percentage bonuses that can turn the tide of battle. Although some accessory content has been phased out by developers, the core mechanics remain an essential part of the game.
In this guide, we’ll explore how accessories work, the various modifiers that influence their power, and the additional accessories available such as Imprint Rings and other unique items. Whether you’re hunting down a rare ring or planning your next gear upgrade, this guide provides everything you need to know.
How Accessories Work in Arcane Lineage
Accessories come in the form of rings, necklaces, and earrings and are primarily obtained by defeating mobs or purchasing them from the Mysterious Merchant. Their main purpose is to buff your stats through two distinct bonus types:
-
Tier 1 (Flat Bonus): These provide straightforward increases to your base stats, such as Life, Power, Spirit, Speed, Luck, Impact, Chance, Recovery, Energy, Luring, Calling, and Erosion.
-
Tier 2 (Percentage Bonus): These offer percentage-based enhancements to your stats. They include Vitality, Blitz, Arcane, Haste, Fortune, Precision, Pinpoint, Mending, Empowering, Aggravation, Summoning, and Corrosion.
For example, an accessory that boosts Life might provide a flat bonus in Tier 1 and a percentage bonus under Vitality in Tier 2.
Aside from that Accessories also come with modifiers that determine their overall quality and effectiveness. There are two key aspects to keep in mind:
-
Rarity: Accessories are ranked from worst to best as follows: Broken, Old, Average, Pristine, Corrupted, Blessed. A higher rarity means a better base effect. For instance, a Blessed accessory is far superior to an Old one.
-
Random Bonuses: Beyond rarity, accessories may have random “+1” or “+2” bonuses. These bonuses are applied on top of the accessory’s rarity and can significantly improve its effect. For example, a Pristine Earring of Luck with a +2 bonus outperforms a Corrupted Earring of Luck.
Important Notes on Using Accessories
- Swapping Accessories: You cannot swap accessories if they share the same effect in the same slot, even if their rarity or tier differs. For example, if you want to replace a Broken Ring of Life with an Average Ring of Life, you must first swap to a different accessory effect before equipping the new Ring of Life.
- Stacking Effects: The game does not allow stacking of identical accessory effects. You cannot wear two accessories that provide the same bonus. However, if you have accessories that offer similar yet differently tiered effects (like an Earring of Speed and a Necklace of Haste), they may work together as long as their effects are not identical.
All Arcane Lineage Accessories
Beyond the standard rings, necklaces, and earrings, Arcane Lineage also features unique items that offer special abilities. These come in two main types:
