→Individual Drops
In addition to the inventory there was a special 10-space inventory accessed through the skill tree, that held only [[skill runes]]. (It was confusing, since skill runes when picked up went directly to that skill rune inventory, which was not visible from the main item inventory.) No one found enough skill runes to see what would happen once those 10 slots were full; if the runes would go to the main inventory, or simply not be possible to pick up.
==Item Sockets==
There are item sockets in Diablo III. [[Runewords]] are not returning, but magical and rare and unique (and other yet-unannounced item types?) will have sockets.
Not much is yet known about what can be put into sockets; gems of various types have been seen in the gameplay movies, but their bonus properties are unknown. No {{iw|jewels}} have been seen, and [[runes]] in Diablo III are for socketing into skills, not items. There may be (and probably are) other things to put into item sockets, but no info has been released about them.
[[Bashiok]] commented briefly on item sockets in February, 2009.[http://www.blizzblues.com/us/itemcustomizing-in-d3-14990774292.html]
::We haven't released any information on our site, but it was possible to collect socketed items as well as gems in the BlizzCon demo... The gem stats at this point are more or less just the basics {{gems|yanked from Diablo II}} to get the system running and have something to play around with.
==Individual Drops==
One major change to items is that players only see items drop that are theirs, and theirs alone. No more of the "ninja looting" of D2, where everything that dropped was first come, first served. This results in more total items dropping, since bosses drop an item or two for every character in the area, but each character only sees their items. If that boss dropped four items in a four player game, each player would only see their item. Trading or giving items away is easy; simply pick them and then drop them. Once a character drops an item any other player can see it and may pick it up.
