Upgrades and modifiers
A spear can be equipped with a magic Spearhead (name prefix) and/or Spear Grip (name suffix) to add extra bonuses to the weapon. Spears have been confirmed to possess every prefix except for Ebon and Icy, as well as every suffix except slaying (the existance is yet to be confirmed). Similar to Vampiric Swords, Axes and Daggers, Vampiric Spears can only steal a maximum of 3 health per hit.

Furthermore a spear may come with a number of non-salvagable weapon modifiers. Spear have been observed with the seven modifiers shared by all PvP melee weapons. In other words, every ranged weapon modifier except for "+10..15% damage vs hexed foes", "+10..15% damage, health regeneration -1", "+10-15% damage, energy regeneration -1", the unconditional "+10-15% damage" modifier, "Precious" and "Highly Salvageable".
