How this list is worked out
Ranked by item level (the game's own measure of an item's tier), then by grade, then by the sum of its fixed stats. Only items the global client ships art for are counted — the others are not in the global version yet. One entry per name: the game repeats a name for each faction and grade.
Assumptions: Best here means the highest-tier item, not the best roll: extra stats from soul binding and enhancement come on top (see each item's page).
From the game files: client 2.0.6.0 (Steam build 25767555, 2026-10-07). A patch that changes these tables changes the list.
