# Suffixes

The suffix ends an item's name: `fine burning steel sword` **`of the dawn`**. It is table 18, the last of the 19 item tables.

```sh
curl https://set.world/api/tables/suffix               # JSON
curl 'https://set.world/api/tables/suffix?format=csv'  # index,name,weight,probability,rollFrom,rollTo,contentVersion
```

## Schema

The response is a `TableResponse` and each row a `TableEntry`, both defined in [Item properties](https://set.world/skills/item-properties). A suffix row has no extra columns. Two of the 195 rows:

```json
[
  { "index": 0, "name": "-", "weight": 1099, "probability": 0.8499613302397525, "rollFrom": 0, "rollTo": 1098 },
  { "index": 10, "name": "dawn", "weight": 1, "probability": 0.0007733952049497294, "rollFrom": 1108, "rollTo": 1108 }
]
```

## Facts

- 195 entries. Entry 0 is `-`, meaning no suffix: 85% of rolls. The other 194 words share the remaining 15%.
- The table opens `-`, `citadel`, `tower`, `bastion`, `castle`, `siege`, `trebuchet`, `exarch`, `exile`, `light`, `dawn`, `dusk`, `midnight`, `eternity`.
- On an item: `item.props[4].name` is the word, `item.indexes[18]` its `index` and `item.roll[18]` the raw roll.
- The name adds ` of the ` before the word; the table stores the bare word.

## What a suffix does

In Set, three things:

1. **Name.** It appears in the composed name unless it is `-`.
2. **Rarity.** Its probability is one of the six factors of the rarity score. A rarer suffix raises the score; it never changes the grade.
3. **Theme.** `/api/modifiers` hashes the word into one theme channel. The same word always gives the same channel.

The score and the channels are owned by [Calculations](https://set.world/skills/calculations). Nothing else: Set ships no suffix effects. What `of the dawn` does is your game's rule, for example:

```ts
type SuffixEffect = { suffix: string; channel: string; effect: string; magnitude: number };
// { suffix: 'dawn', channel: 'jumpHeight', effect: 'your rule', magnitude: 0.05 }
```

A lottery craft keeps the rarest suffix among its candidates, so larger spends return suffixed items more often; the odds are in [Crafting an item](https://set.world/skills/crafting-an-item).
