The term Breakpoints/Interpolation is used by players to describe the lowest Quality Level (QL) at which a given item gives a particular bonus. Armor protection and weapon strength are typically more powerful each level, but the bonuses that may be found on them are many levels apart. Thus, a peculiarity of the interaction of the AO Quality Level and ability requirement systems is that items of a higher QL than the breakpoint are, with respect to their requirements, less desirable than those at the breakpoint. Other equipped items such as Utilities, which unlike armor and weapons have no additional benefit per level, are unequivocally superior at breakpoint.
