Identifying Loot
Unidentified gear reveals in three stages — rarity, then the item, then its affixes. Each stage takes its own time, and higher intensities identify faster.
Epic
| Stage | Normal | Chaos | Cataclysm |
|---|---|---|---|
| RarityReveals the tier | 1s | 1s | 1s |
| ItemReveals what it is | 1.5s | 0.5s | 0.5s |
| AffixPer affix revealed | 0.5s | 0.5s | 0.5s |
Legendary
| Stage | Normal | Chaos | Cataclysm |
|---|---|---|---|
| RarityReveals the tier | 2.5s | 1.75s | 1.75s |
| ItemReveals what it is | 1.5s | 0.75s | 0.75s |
| AffixPer affix revealed | 0.5s | 0.5s | 0.5s |
Holy
| Stage | Normal | Chaos | Cataclysm |
|---|---|---|---|
| RarityReveals the tier | 3.5s | 3s | 3s |
| ItemReveals what it is | 1.75s | 1.5s | 1.5s |
| AffixPer affix revealed | 0.5s | 0.5s | 0.5s |
A dash means that rarity has no identification entry at that intensity. Affix time is charged per affix, so a heavily-affixed Holy piece is the slowest thing you can stop to identify mid-raid.
