As there are no [[runes]] to socket into equipment, there are no [[runeword]] items, at least in [[D3v]].
==The Auction House==
One of the biggest changes to items in Diablo III is the inclusion of an [[Auction House]] in the Battle.net system. Players can now very easily buy and sell gear, for gold for [[real money]]. While there was a great deal of controversy over the [[Real Money Trading]] aspect, the Auction House itself was very popular when announced. Despite that propitious introduction, soon after release many players came to believe[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/a-scientific-explanation-why-d3-is-less-addictive-than-d2] that the AH was a major detriment to the game experience, since it worked too well.
Early overachievers played very long hours, forcing themselves through Inferno and scoring amazing loot unfindable in other difficulty levels. Those items entered the Auction House, other players bought them and did their own item finding in Inferno, and soon enough any player could farm gold for an hour or two at level 40 or 50, and earn enough to buy an item that would grant vastly higher damage than they'd have ever found on their own, barring weeks of grinding to find it. This seemed great, but many of those players soon grew bored with the game, as all challenge was gone with their great gear, and they had no joy of finding new gear since they already had 1/1,000,000 quality equipment.

===Item Modification Information===
This is a compilation of what mods you can search for in the Auction House within the Game. This information does not include the mods that can be sometimes found on Set or Legendary Pieces. Also, Please note that some item modifications require a class specific item in order to obtain the mod. Considering that only that class should be looking for that modification I did not see the necessity of making this distinction.

===Other Items Information===
* Trading is supported, both between characters and in a much larger way through the Battle.net [[Auction House]], which has two version, the gold and the [[real money]] version.
* [[Potion]]s are much less common than in previous Diablo games. There are no mana or rejuvenation potions, just health, and they come with a long cooldown between uses. Potions are intended for emergency use only, and players must learn to survive with life leech, hit point regeneration from equipment, and by using the [[health globes]] that monsters drop. Successful players must be a bit more cautious than they were in previous games of the series.
