Here is Smirky's gear for each equipment slot.

Embellishments

Embellishments are special effects tied to crafted items. Some are built into recipes, while others can be added using optional reagents.

Enchantments

Enchantments add effects to gear, including stat bonuses, damage or healing procs, and other enhancements. Most are created through Enchanting, while leg enchants are crafted by Leatherworkers.

The following are the specific enchantments chosen by Smirky for each gear slot.

Gems

Gems provide bonus secondary stats and help fine-tune a character’s build. They are crafted through Jewelcrafting and socketed into gear.

Additional sockets can be added to Neck and Rings using the Magnificent Jeweler's Setting , or to other gear using a seasonal item typically sold by the Token of Merit vendor near the Great Vault.

These are Smirky's currently socketed gems.
