"AffixAffixes" can refer to either (also known as Bonuses and Modifiers) are the special magical properties appearing found on items in the Diablo games. In Diablo 1 and Diablo 2, item modifiers were rigidly separated into [[prefixes]] and [[elitesuffixes]] monsters or modifiers appearing , which limited how they could combine on items. Magical items could only spawn with a prefix, a suffix, or both. Rares in Diablo 2 could have up to 3 of each for a maximum of six, but never spawned with say, 4 prefixes and 2 suffixes.
:''For special properties of elite monstersDiablo 3 uses prefixes and suffixes on magical items, see and used them for Rares in the initial ([[Boss ModifiersD3v]]'') game. This changed in [[Loot 2.0]] and affixes are now sorted entirely into [[primary affixes]] and [[secondary affixes]]. The prefix/suffix system still exists on magical items, but for [[rare]] and [[legendary]] items, the system limits them to 4 primary and 2 secondary affixes, with no sorting into prefixes and suffixes.
:''Which affixes are available varies by the item [[slot]], and is one of the main factors in itemization in the game. The most useful affixes are generally limited to only appear on certain types of items, and with different possible ranges on different types of items. For modifiers instance, the most valued affix in the game, [[Critical hit Chance]], can appear at 1-10% on items[[Amulets]] or [[Gloves]], 1-6% on [[Bracers]], [[Helms]], see and [[Known_Items_Listing#List_of_PrefixesRings]], and only in smaller amounts in other slots as an inherent bonus on several legendary items and/or set bonuses.2FSuffixesOther useful affixes such as [[All Res]] can be found on every type of armor and jewelry, but not on weapons or most off-hand items.2FNon-Magical_Prefixes|the Known Items article[[Mainstat]]can be found on every item, but the amount varies widely between different slots. And so on.''
