I’m not sure exactly what you’re meaning, but I meant the instability that is already on an item that dropped. From looking over a few in my stash it seems to be based on total tier of affixes, although it is not exactly consistent.

I explained instability on dropped items here:

Those items are fine. The formula for instability “cost” is a bit more complex. There is threshold after T3; low tiers T1-T3 and high tiers T4-T7 are treated differently: Any tier above threshold always costs 2 instability. You get 5 below threshold tiers for free, exceeding tiers cost 2 instability each. I’ll try to visualize this with couple of examples. Each star in the following examples is one tier, I added space to separate above threshold tiers. Example 1: 5/1/0/0 *** ** * This ite…
