Modifiers

A modifier, also known as a prefix (although in some languages it becomes a suffix), applies permanent changes to an item's statistics. It changes the name of an item by adding a prefix to the item's name (displayed when selected in the hotbar and in its tooltip), such as "Adept", "Godly", or "Broken" (e.g. "Demonic Minishark").

The Shadows of Abaddon mod adds 10 new modifiers that are exclusive to knife fans. Unlike Terraria's modifiers, however, they aren't straight upgrades or downgrades, but instead change how the weapon is used.

All modifiers below increase the item's value by approximately 69%.
