	~~=== Trivia ===~~
	* Loot tiers have been referred to as "Loot Levels" and "Wealth Ratings" by past developers.<ref name=TreasureInAC/>
	* Prior to the [[Ancient Powers]] event, Asheron’s Call had only six wealth ratings. When the game first shipped, only the first five were commonly available to players. The lowest wealth ratings were assigned to the low level creatures; wealth rating 4 was assigned to the high level creatures; and wealth rating 5 was assigned only to very special creatures like [[Olthoi Noble]]s.<ref name=TreasureInAC/>
	* There are currently 8 loot tiers and although not really seen, there is technically an 9th tier as many creatues do not generate any loot at all ([[:Category:Loot Tier 0\|tier 0]]). They may, however, still drop trophies.
	* In the first 3 years of AC, when a creature was killed and loot was left inside the corpse, the body decayed immediately leaving the leftover loot on the floor. This feature was removed in [[The Iron Coast]] event to increase server performance. See [[Item Decay]] for a list of other similar changes made.

	Obviously, some items do not mutate as they cannot vary in properties, this includes mundane items such as mana charges and healing kits to name a few. Weapons and armor on the other hand can mutate and be assigned varying properties such as: damage, attack and melee defense modifiers, speed, burden, spells, cantrips, wield requirements and so on.
