**Platform, device and operation system** Android **What were you expecting to happen, and what actually happened** Items of the same rarity have the same number of Attributes If not at elast items of a higher level could have more if the level is tied to the attribute and not the rarity. A level 35 Epic Runic Ring (from the rewards) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/1X/384e2336f666ed8fca7dce770a752812194ee489.jpeg) Versus a level 1 Epic RUnic Ring (from before obviously ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/1X/e3b3e5d7e92e46e1aa4b41cde7723c65a3a4fce8.jpeg) And another Level 1 Epic Runic Ring from before ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/1X/24f4518c0f496a1592e02a95883d4541a7e4cb79.jpeg) It seems that not all gear was affected equally by the update. **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** Most (but not all!!) of my pre 0.36 gear still has 3 attributes. Randomly some of the pre update gear got adjusted. **Steps to make it happen again** Update the game and watch the magic happen. ---

I can confirm I have a variety of epic gear mixed between 2 and 3 attributes. Some of the gear I got as a reward has 2, others 3. Same on gear that was epic before update ---

Similar results here: Uncommon - 1 or 2 attributes Rare - 1 or 2 attributes Epic - 2 or 3 attributes ---

I was just coming here to post this bug. It appears that all of my old gear (acquired before .36) have the correct number of attributes and the new gear from the gift mail all have one less attribute. I haven’t looted anything new yet to see if its all new gear that is “broken,” or just certain rarity. ---

The new epic gear has two slots. The old had three and still does. Looks like they downgraded it but did not change half the old gear but some. ---

Crossposting from the official patch notes thread, from Alpheon, > [@Update 0.36: Events (Early Access Patch Notes)](https://community.puzzlequest3.com/t/update-0-36-events-early-access-patch-notes/1050/29): > > And @Lyrian as you also posted on this, thought I’d jump in to provide some context on why some of your existing items have more attributes than they usually would for that rarity. > As part of the process which updates your items to the new Attributes, the first Attribute is always Life or Strong, depending on the type of item it is. As we didn’t want to take away any attributes from existing items, if they didn’t already exist on an item, we instead added them on top of what was there. > The balance to this is that they won’t get the next attribute when upgrading rarity as they already have it, so it eventually balances itself out as items are upgraded.
