Items & Rarities
TBH Items & Rarity Tiers — From Common to Cosmic
TBH has 500+ unique items across 10 rarity tiers, 20 gear types, and a deep cube-customization system. The higher the rarity, the more stat cube slots — and the more powerful your build potential. Here's everything you need to know about the loot system.
Rarity Tiers
The 10 Rarity Tiers Explained

Frost Bow, Steel Shield

Arcane Crystal Staff, Mystic Topaz Orb
Wraith Blade, Kraken Ink Tome
Celestial Pearl Ring, Dragonite Crystal

0 cubes
The backbone of early progression. Plentiful and straightforward — no cube slots, just base stats.
1 cube
Your first taste of customization — one Decoration slot opens up basic stat cubes.
2 cubes
Two cube slots (Decoration + Engraving) — the first layer of real build synergy.
4 cubes
Four affixes define entire builds. Highly sought-after on the Steam Market.
5 cubes
Unlocks Inscription slots. Endgame-grade gear that carries deep into Act 3.
6 cubes
Arcane-tier materials feed these. Three Decoration slots mean heavy cube stacking.
7 cubes
Two Inscription slots. Only drops from high-tier boss boxes.
7 cubes
Boss-box exclusive. Sockets maxed at 3/2/2 — peak endgame territory.
7 cubes
Whale-tier rarity. Functionally identical sockets to Celestial but vastly rarer drops.
7 cubes
The rarest tier — 3/2/2 sockets and unique visual effects. Trades for significant Steam Market value.
Build System
How Stat Cubes Work
Every item has a number of "stat cube" slots equal to its rarity tier. Each slot contains one affix — a bonus stat applied to your hero while the item is equipped. The more cubes, the more complex and powerful your build can become.
This Legendary bow stacks four complementary stats — ideal for a Hunter crit build.
Tip: Focus on items where cubes synergize. Four separate stats that don't stack are weaker than two or three complementary cubes that multiply each other. A Rare item with two perfect synergy cubes often outperforms an Epic with three random affixes.
Gear
20 Gear Types Across 4 Categories
Every rarity tier exists for all 20 gear types, yielding thousands of possible drops. Each type has its own level progression (~272–292 levels).
Weapons (6)
Off-hands (6)
Armor (4)
Accessories (4)
Materials
Crafting Materials & Soulstones
Five material categories feed the cube/socket system — plus Soulstones, the difficulty-keyed drops from endgame bosses.
Gems set into item sockets — unlocked from Uncommon tier. 38 types from Minor Ruby up to Chaos Diamond.
Monster-part reagents for socket inscription. 38 types spanning Common to Cosmic.
Scrolls that apply an inscription of a given rarity tier. 10 types, one per tier.
Ingots and ores used in synthesis. 22 types from Copper Nugget to Aeon Ingot.
Anniversary coins. 10 types, one per rarity tier.
Four difficulty-keyed stones: Normal, Nightmare, Hell, Torment — drop from Immortal-tier bosses and above.
Loot
Stage Chests & Boxes
Drops come in three chest tiers, each tied to the monster that dropped it — Act Boss boxes have the best rates for high rarities.
Normal Monster Boxes
Regular stage monsters (Lv15–Lv90)
19 box variants
Stage Boss Boxes
Stage bosses (1–7 and Lv15–Lv90)
28 box variants
Act Boss Boxes
Act bosses (Lv20–Lv90) — best drop rates
11 box variants
Upgrade
Synthesis — 9 into 1
Combine 9 items of the same rarity into 1 item of the next tier — occasionally skipping a tier.
Steam Market
Trading Items for Real Value
TBH integrates with the Steam Marketplace, meaning Legendary and Cosmic items with strong cube combinations can be sold to other players. This is a genuine differentiator from most idle games — your drops have market value.
What to sell
Legendary and Cosmic items with multiple high-value cubes (ATK, CritDmg, CritRate combos). Well-rolled Cosmics in particular fetch significant prices.
What to keep
Items that directly upgrade your current build. Don't sell a 4-cube Legendary that's a 30% damage increase just for a few dollars of store credit.
When to check prices
Before vendoring any Legendary or Cosmic drop, open Steam Marketplace and search the item name. Takes 30 seconds and prevents costly mistakes.
Market timing
New content patches can shift market prices. Popular items during major updates often spike temporarily before settling.
