Golden text names, pre-set stats, multiple modifiers, mixed quality. They are fun to collect, but most of them aren't much use at higher levels. Which is only fair, they can't all be great items; lots are meant to be of use to low or mid-level characters. | |||
Rares are a sort of cross between Uniques and Magical items. They have multiple modifiers, as many or more than Uniques can have, but the modifiers are randomly determined. However they have names like uniques. | |||
Item Sets are comprised of from three to six items, all with similar names and properties. The fun of them is trying to collect the whole set, since if you do, large secret bonuses will be bestowed upon your character. Nothing is known about what sort of bonuses, but Blizzard has promised that they will be very noticeable, and powerful as well. | |||
To add to the fun, Uniques and some Set Items will have unique graphics on your character, so they are potent items, and a fun fashion show as well. Remember that your character will be seen in the Battle.net chat channels in their current outfit, so a very nice look will be appreciated by more than your playing partners, and showing off a new item set or unique will be fun, and make for good conversation. | |||
