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 text of items is colored to show which Item Type they are, The colors are:
*Normal items = No Color: An Item that has no magical effects.
*Magic items = Blue Color: An Item that has some magical effects/Attributes, each effect/attribute bonus gives specific prefix or a suffix to the name of the item to reflect this.
*Rare items = Yellow Color: An Item that has Many 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===

===Items===
**'''Amulet''' is a piece of jewelry worn around the neck. It Obviously Provides no armor bonus but it does provide good magical effects. Each effect gives the name of the amulet a prefix and/or a suffix that describes the magical effect. Only 1 amulet is allowed.
**'''Rings''' are a piece of jewelry worn on the fingers. They Obviously Provide no armor bonus but they do provide good magical effects. Each effect gives the name of the rings a prefix and/or a suffix that describes the magical effect. Only 2 rings are allowed.
**'''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 Colored precious gem. May have Electrical properties.
***Emerald : A Green Colored precious gem. May have Poison properties.
