No, the rarity is decided first using the method Mark described.

" mekakat wrote: The wording of Increased Item Rarity leads me to believe that each equipable item has an associated numerical "rarity." Each time an item drops, a random rarity is determined and then multiplied by your IIR. If this rarity is above a certain threshold (but below the next), it will be a magic item, or if it is above a higher threshold it will be a rare. I suspect Unique items may have different drop mechanics, so they will be disregarded.

No, rarity is not a numerical value. There are four rarities in the game: Normal, Magic, Rare, and unique. "ra... Read more

You need to create a new character in the race league. The option to create a character does not enable until 30 minutes before the race league starts.

Please be aware of these phishing attempts - GGG staff and moderators will always use blue or yellow text in chat, and please never click external links sent to you, especially if they are not under the www.pathofexile.com domain.
If you're ever unsure, just email us at [email protected] and we'll look into it for you.

The same way they have been finding other users information - by going through an enormous list of email/password combinations, most of which do not have PoE accounts associated with them. They just got lucky on yours (as they do with other users they compromise, they are playing the odds here).

Morgawr, AzraelX, as you both presented fairly compelling cases I decided to investigate your accounts to make sure there wasn't anything unusual going on (as I have done with other random accounts when I get the chance). I wanted to share my findings with you in the hopes that it helps explain the situation.

In both cases your accounts were compromised during a sweep of login attempts, and in both cases yours were the only logins that succeeded from the respective IPs performing the login attempts (out of the half-dozen or so accounts they tried in each attempt). In each case only 1 login attempt is made per account, suggesting they are using a list of email/password combinations and are not brute forcing the passwords. None of the other accounts they tried even have PoE accounts associated with them, suggesting this list did not come from us.

A quick google search of your registered email addresses shows that both are used elsewhere on the internet. I cannot... Read more

The people who were compromising the majority of the accounts have:
a) A botnet with at least 270,000 IPs we've seen so far.
b) A list with over 5 million email addresses and passwords, almost all of which are not people who have ever heard of Path of Exile.

They try the passwords on our website and are IP banned pretty quickly, which is when they change IP.

This email and password list has not come from us. It contains users from many other web services and is probably a concatenation of stolen lists from dozens of sites and games. They are trying it against Path of Exile because it gives them free accounts if they do stumble in to any. This is why it's important to use a unique password. I'm not saying every compromised account came from their use of this list, but it's certainly the bulk of them.

Since we deployed the security patch in 0.10.1d, the rate of account compromise dropped off almost completely because they have no way to log into... Read more
