How do item tiers work in PoE 2?

In Path of Exile 2, item tiers simplify loot by categorizing rares into five levels (Tier 1-5), with higher numbers meaning better stats, eliminating low-tier mods and increasing the odds of powerful rolls for easier upgrades, rather than relying solely on crafting, making loot more rewarding and targeted. When an "unidentified" tiered item drops, it shows its tier (e.g., "Tier 4"), guaranteeing it won't roll lower-tier versions of its mods, with Tier 5 being the strongest potential, simplifying finding good gear.
