Given a bivariate system of polynomial equations with fixed support sets A, B it is natural to ask which multiplicities its solutions can have. We prove that there exists a system with a solution of multiplicity i for all i in the range \0,1,...,|A|-|conv(A)\ominus B|-1\, where A\ominus B is the set of all integral vectors that shift B to a subset of A. As an application of this result we classify all pairs (A, B) such that the system supported at (A, B) does not have a solution of multiplicity 3.
