Greater Affixes
Appearing only on Ancestral Legendary and Unique Items, Greater Affixes are 1.5x more powerful versions of normal affixes, and they will always be the max roll possible. These can be further increased through the Masterworking system. You cannot enchant an affix into a Greater Affix, these can only be found on a dropped or gambled item.

• Uber Uniques created from Resplendent Sparks can roll with Greater Affixes.

• Attempting to Enchant a Greater Affix into another affix will get rid of the Greater Affix bonus, even if you decide not to replace the Affix by choosing the option to keep it.

• Greater Affixed items will have a symbol next to their name when dropped, and have a special icon in your inventory.

You’re not wrong there’s no official guide saying what the symbols mean per se, so I can understand the confusion.

In your inventory if you see a Star Symbol on the item itself, it has a Greater Affix (up to 3 or 4 depending on Legendary or Unique).

When you go to the blacksmith it can have 2 different symbols depending on if the item will be turned into a Transmog (an appearance of gear you can copy onto yourself using the wardrobe) or it will upgrade an Aspect in your Codex. If it has both symbols it means it will upgrade your codex as well as allow you to copy that piece into your wardrobe.

As far as monsters goes, I’m assuming you’ve been doing a lot of Helltides and have noticed odd symbols on the minimap? Most of those just let you know it’s an elite or a boss type enemy to be aware of.
