How to read this sheet

Reports. Each card is one identification report pasted from the game. An item has several when variants exist: MK1 and MK2 drops, or named versions. Rows highlighted in the comparison differ between reports.
Levels. Effects are rated minor (1), basic (2), average (3), considerable (4) and major (5); the value is the number the game shows, and (base) is the enchantment base value from −5 to 5 when it can be derived.
Prestigious means the report says “An aura of prestige surrounds the item.” Quality and armour class use the game's 31-step scale, from no to MAXIMAL.
