Revision as of 14:11, 20 August 2009

Little is known about the Items in Diablo III. There will likely be uniques, sets and many other items of the types we're familiar with from Diablo II, but this far before release the D3 team is keeping quiet about item types, and what we see in screenshots and gameplay movies is subject to change.

Items in the WWI Gameplay Movie

The name colours of these items are not yet confirmed. White items seem to be normal, but purple are unknown. There were no purple named item types in Diablo II, so it's unknown if these are analogous to Rare, Set, or Unique, or are an entirely new type of item. Also keep in mind that item stats are the sort of feature that is highly subject to change during development.

The Diablo III team is taking a lot of inspiration from World of Warcraft, meaning the purple items in Diablo III could be Epics.

Item Colors and Item Types

The Background and the name of items is colored to show which Item Type they are, The colors and item types are:

• Normal items = No/White Color: An Item that has no magical effects.
• Magic items = Blue Color: An Item that has some random magical effects/Attributes, each effect/attribute bonus gives a specific prefix and/or a specific suffix to the name of the item to reflect this.
• Rare items = Yellow Color: An Item that has Many random magical effects/Attributes, including some unique ones and is better by stats than a magical item. It comes with a randomly selected preset name.
• Set items = Unknown Color (Speculated to be either Green, Purple or Gold): Set items belong to a set, which is powerful if the set is complete. Some sets are made for specific classes and increase the class' skills and gives effects/attributes more appropriate for that class. Each set and set piece is Uniquely named. Set items complement one another, so if you have 2 different items of the same set (I.E Boots and Gloves), you will get a bonus for having 2 items of the set.
• Unique/Legendary items = Unknown Color (Speculated to be either Green, Purple or Gold) : Considered to be the best items in the game, they will be uniquely named, will look unique and will possess unique effects/attributes.

Item Stats

• Consumables
  • Elixirs provide effects for a limited period, and have a number on the end indicating the rank of the elixir (so far, only rank 1 elixirs were seen). Higher ranks of Elixirs could mean better effects and/or longer lasting time. (Standard lasting time is 300 seconds as was seen in the BlizzCon Demo)
    • Elixir of Strength I. : Gives X amount of Strength for Y amount of time.
    • Elixir of Dexterity I. : Gives X amount of Dexterity for Y amount of time.
    • Elixir of Vitality I. : Gives X amount of Vitality for Y amount of time.
    • Elixir of Willpower I. : Gives X amount of Willpower for Y amount of time.
    • Elixir of Regeneration I. : Restores X amount of HP over Y amount of time.
  • Scrolls are small, stackable, 1-time-use items that provide effects for a limited period. World of Warcraft has similar scrolls, which buff the player for 30 to 60 minutes with various buffs (mostly stats and armor). They too have ranks, except they are represent by an adjective instead of a number, that could mean better effects and/or longer lasting time.
    • Scroll of Town Portal : Opens a portal to town. Could be a completely different scroll.
    • Unknown Red Scroll : As seen in the latest screenshots, 4 stacked red scrolls. They could be Scrolls of Identity, but this is not confirmed.
    • Scroll of Superior Protection. : Gives X amount of Armor for Y amount of time.
  • Potions are concoctions that provide the player with some sort of relief. 1 Potion has been seen so far in inventories, they have the same icon as they had in D2.
    • Unknown Potion : According to video made at BlizzCon, this should be Elixir of Willpower I.
  • Vials are a sort of potion, which are made for the player's teammates. The player cannot use them on himself, Only One vial has been seen in an inventory (in the Gamescon Video).
    • Vial of Resurrection : In the item description (hard to read, by the way), it says ".... Fallen Party Member" (The 1st 3-4 words are unreadable). This implies that this vial, is made to resurrect, fallen party members.

• Jewelry
  • Amulets are worn in the Amulet Slot. There are various designs of amulets, but their effects/stats are determined by what item type they are, since each item type has its own rules regarding effects/stats.
  • Rings are worn in the Rings Slots. There are various designs of rings, but their effects/stats are determined by what item type they are, since each item type has its own rules regarding effects/stats.
  • Gems are small, precious stones that are magically enchanted and can be socketed into an item, to give it a permanent effect (it is not known whether you can replace socketed gems). Each gem type has properties that give a specific effect depending where you socket it. Ranks of gems exist, and are named by how fine they are cut (Chipped, Flawless). As stated in a recent talk with Jay Wilson, Sockets are random and affect all items, meaning that 1 player may get a Legendary item while another player gets that same item but with a socket(s).
    • Topaz : A Yellow Coloured precious gem. May have Electrical properties.
    • Emerald : A Green Coloured precious gem. May have Poison properties.
    • Sapphire : A Blue Coloured precious gem. May have Frost properties.

List of Prefixes/Suffixes/Non-Magical Prefixes

Items with non-magical prefixes, are not Magic items, they still maintain a white colored name, they are rather, prefixes that make the item better than normal, sometimes adding magical effects BUT not making the item change its color to blue. Also the magical effects (if any) are randomized.

Note: "..." = the name of the item. So ".... of Storms" could mean "Heavy Axe of Storms" or "Short Sword of Storms"

• List of Prefixes
  • "Savage ..." : Gives X amount of Damage Increase in Percentages to the weapon.
  • "Restless ..." : Increases the base experience rewarded per kill by X.
  • "Oracle's ..." : Spells deal X% more damage.
  • "Locust's ..." : It is unknown what this prefix adds to an item, it was seen in the gamescon video, part 2. It was on a Shoulder Pad.

• List of Suffixes
  • "... of Brilliance" : Gives X to Willpower.
  • "... of Immolation" : Gives X to Y amount of Fire Damage.
  • "... of Storms" : Gives X to Y amount of Lightning Damage.
  • "... of Frost" : Gives X to Y amount of Cold Damage.
  • "... of Wrath" : Gives X to Maximum Damage.

• Non-Magical Prefixes
  • "Superior ..."
  • "Inferior ..."

Skill Runes

• Skill Runes can be socketed into skills to improve them uniquely based on the rune socketed.
  • Hydra Rune: Increases skill quantity.
  • Viper Rune: Increases skill lethality.
  • Force Rune: Increases power of skill.
  • Energy Rune: Reduces resource cost of skill.
