Stats
Equipment has:
 * 1-3 implicit Modifiers that cannot be modified
 * 0-4 affix stats that can be added or removed through Crafting
 * A Range that affects the area of Melee Skills.
 * An attack rate that affects Melee Attack Speed.

Level Requirement
Equipment has a base level requirement, depending upon its base type, as well as affix level requirement, which depends on the number and tier of affixes on the item. The effective level requirement for a piece of equipment is whichever is higher, the base level requirement or the affix level requirement.

The formula for affix level requirement is as follows: $$Affix Level Requirement = Sum of Affix Level Values + (2 * Max Affix Level Value) - 10$$

Where Affix Level Value per tier is:
 * T1 = 1
 * T2 = 3
 * T3 = 6
 * T4 = 10
 * T5 = 14
