Itemization

Itemization is not a clearly defined term in the MMORPG genre, but generally refers to the balance and distribution of items, their types, and the various effects, powers, and statistics attached to them. You will see many articles discussing this topic, but very few that actually define itemization.

Usually, you can replace the term "itemization" with "stats on gear".
