There Item Sets are groups of themed items that grant the player additional bonuses when two (or more) of them are worn at the same time. Item Sets will probably be return in Diablo III, but only if the [[D3 Team]] can fix what they see as problems with the execution of the item type in Diablo 2. * Diablo II {{iw|Item_Set Item Set information}}.  ==Diablo III Item Sets== The [[D3 Team]] has said that they want to include item sets in Diablo III, but what form they will take is that there are still some problems to surmount. [[Jay Wilson]] spoke on this point in August, 2010: [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-interview-indiablo.de-part-one/] ::'''Jay Wilson: '''We understand the problems with item sets. We want to solve them. Set items are under debate by work now, if we can't find a way to solve the problem it won’t be in the D3 Teamgame. The only official information But we’ve got a couple of ideas on the table and wethink it've yet seen about them came from ll work out.  ==Diablo II Problems== Item Sets and Set Items were a nifty idea in Diablo II, but the execution was not perfect, especially in [[Jay WilsonD2C]], where Item Sets were generally underpowered and not worth wearing. There were no partial set bonuses in D2C; a character had to wear the entire set to receive any bonuses, and these bonuses were generally quite small. D2X introduced much higher quality item sets, including ones comprised entirely of exceptional or elite items, some of which were comparable to the best Rare or Unique items. D2X also incorporated a variety of partial set bonuses, where characters drew extra bonuses for wearing two or more items of a set. The main problems, though, of characters finding it too difficult to find some or all of the same set, remained. Jay Wilson spoke to this in a December 2008 interview with 1up.com. [http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?pager.offset=3&cId=3172030&p=1 interview with 1up.com].
::'''Jay Wilson:''' There're still a few things that we haven't made decisions on yet -- set items, for one. I didn't like the way they worked in Diablo 2, as by the time you finally got a set together, you generally leveled beyond the use for it. So you might save them for alts, which is OK, but I'd rather that they be useful for you to begin with. We haven't really decided how we're going to fix that.
More information will be added when it's available.
There was a ==Green Items in Diablo III== Quest items have green-colored names in Diablo III, making them look like Diablo 2 set items seen in , at first glance. In the BlizzCon Blizzcon 2008 demo in October 2008, but it was a quest item; [[King Leoric's Crown]] had to be found in the dungeon, which was and then used to awake [[Leoric|the Skeleton King]] before for the final battle of the [[BlizzCon]] demo build. The This crown could not be equipped, just carried and then used to call the King's spirit back into his bones.
