Rare
,added savage mangler/inferno stuff
'''Rare''', in [[Diablo]] terminology, refers to an [[item]] type.
A rare can be any type of item (ie., [[boots]], [[sword]]s, [[amulet]]s), and it is higher quality than a [[normal]] or [[magical]] item, but not as high in quality as a [[Set_Items| set]] or [[legendary]] item. The quality of the item is determined by the [[modifiers]] that the item possesses. A rare item can have four [[magic]]al modifiers(or more?), which separates it from a magical item, which can only have one to two modifiers.
More information about other item types can be found in the [[:Category:Items| item category entry]].
==Modifiers and the Mighty Inferno==
Along with the official release of information about the new [[Inferno]] difficulty, players were given an example of a high-level rare item in the form of a tooltip, shown to the side, for an axe randomly named "Savage Mangler". There are many things of note, and of interest, in this small tooltip.

* This is a rare dropped in Inferno difficulty, and the item is named a "Mighty Rare", denoting the possibility of stronger rares in Inferno.
* There are six [[modifier]]s present, where in previous screenshots and videos, there were at most four.
* This two-handed [[axe]] is labeled as ''Barbarian'', noting that this is a [[class]]-specific [[weapon]].
Logical speculation leads to the conclusion that a "mighty rare" may be an inferno-only subtype of rare item that has more available modifier slots, or potentially even inferno-exclusive modifiers.
