As item quality increases, an item’s [[affixes]] will improve and will allow players to dip into areas of their talents that they may not have focused on in their talent tree. This will allow players to create more diverse character builds.

<span style="color:#ff9900">Legendary</span> items have been designed to offer customised [[skills]] beyond the skill system.

During Season 1 of Diablo 4, the level cap requirements were changed where Sacred items have a level requirement cap of 60 and Ancestral items have a level requirement CAP of 80. So items you find at level 100 will only require a level 80 character in order to equip<ref>[https://www.purediablo.com/season-1-sacred-and-ancestral-item-level-cap Level Cap Changes]</ref>.

*<span style="color:#00ff00">Set Item</span>: Set items may appear at some point but they are not available at launch.

*<span style="color:#6aa84f">Ancient Set</span>: Set items may appear at some point but they are not available at launch.

It is also noted that there is one additional tier of gear that will unlock at the very highest difficulty of the game where there will be specific Uniques that will only drop at that level of difficulty. This is similar to Diablo 2's [https://www.purediablo.com/d2wiki/Death%27s_Web Death's Web] or [https://www.purediablo.com/d2wiki/Tyrael%27s_Might Tyrael's Might].

[[Smart Loot]] is feature of Diablo 4. This means a higher percentage of drops will be specific to your class. This makes item farming more fruitful.

Affixes (also known as Bonuses and Modifiers) are the special magical properties found on items in the Diablo games.

* [[Affixes|See list of Diablo 4 Affixes]].

When viewing a tooltip it can be broken down into sections.

Item Power is the range in which stats will roll on an item. As a player levels, they will see an increase in Item Power on their items. This increase also applies to affixes players will see on items. The more items power, the better the affix values.

* Level 0: 1 – 149

Item Power can also be increased at the Blacksmith by upgrading Rare or Legendary items. Each upgrade adds +5 to the Item Power. This means a Rare item can have +15 (three upgrades) added to its Item Power and a Legendary +25 (five upgrades).

This section of the tooltip, which sits below the name and Item Power, are the base characteristics of the item. There is a dividing line on the tooltip to denote this section. These stats cannot be changed on that item, they are fixed.  

These are shown on the tooltip below the base characterstics and the dividing line. On Legendary items, this section will also show the Legensary Power in orange text.

Affixes on items can be changed by the Occultist who can replace an affix on Magic, Rare, and Legendary items. The resulting value change is random and it may take some time re-rolling an affix to find something you really want.

Note: Prior to upgrading a Rare item to a legendary, you could re-roll it's affix at the Occultist before making the upgrade with a Legendary Aspect to make sure the upgraded item has the best possible stats.

[[Legendary Items|Legendary items]] are coloured orange as they were in Diablo 3. Most characters will end up wearing legendary and other items as they level up. This is the top tier currently in the game.

No. Set items are not something that has been added in Diablo 4.  

Set could also hold equivalent power to [[Legendary Items|Legendary items]] when they are added to the game in the future if the development team deem them necessary.

Runewords proved highly popular in Diablo II. Runewords were a way for players to combine [[runes]] with items to give an item exceptional attributes. In Diablo II there was a total of 78 different runewords that could be used on basic grey items. [[Blizzard]] had planned for runewords in Diablo III but the idea was dropped during development at the time citing that “led to a lack of equipment variety”. Blizzard has not decided whether they will added back into Diablo 4 after they appered in early development updates.

Diablo IV will dispense with Ancient Legendaries as highlighted in the Systems Design update. The changes are described as follows and note that they are being replaced by a “new types of consumable item”.<bluepost>

In the December 2020 developer update, Blizzard revealed they were removing Mythic items for the following reason: <ref>[https://www.purediablo.com/diablo-4-development-update-december-2020/ Mythic Items removed]</ref>
