 "Affixes" (also known as Bonuses and Modifiers) are the special magical properties found on items in the Diablo games. In Diablo 1 and Diablo 2, item modifiers were rigidly separated into [[prefixes]] and [[suffixes]], 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.

 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 instance, the most valued affix in the game, [[Critical hit Chance]], can appear at 1-10% on [[Amulets]] or [[Gloves]], 1-6% on [[Bracers]], [[Helms]], and [[Rings]], and only in smaller amounts in other slots as an inherent bonus on several legendary items and/or set bonuses. Other 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. [[Mainstat]] can be found on every item, but the amount varies widely between different slots. And so on.

+The following is a rough list of possible random affixes as of [[Patch 2.1]].
-* Affixes can also refer to the various [[Elite Affixes|randomized properties on Elite monsters]].
+There are numerous exceptions from legendary items that have an inherent magical bonus (not a legendary bonus) not otherwise found in that slot, such as weapons with Critical hit Damage or All Res, belts with IAS, Bracers with Movement Speed, etc. There are numerous useful affixes that only appear as [[legendary affixes]], and others (such as reduced damage from Elites) that only appear on [[legendary]] items or as set bonuses.
-* Legendary items have a wide variety of special [[legendary affixes]] that are unique to each legendary item.

	Itemization was a big area of fan interest during Diablo 3's development. While the developers were often asked how items and affixes would work in the game, they tended to reply in vague terms during development, since itemization is always one of the last things completed before launch, and the system remained in flux. Unfortunately as we saw upon Diablo 3's release, the itemization, especially in terms of [[Legendary Items]] and Affixes, was very poorly designed, and not until [[Loot 2.0]] in early 2014 did legendary items become largely compelling.

+Diablo 3 uses prefixes and suffixes on magical items, and used them for Rares in the initial ([[D3v]]) 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.
