Game term definitionsPrepared source definitions referenced by this item
Items can be Normal (grey), Magic (blue), Rare (yellow) or Unique (brown). Item Classes which do not have these rarities, such as Currency, have individual rarity for each item. Magic items can have 2 Modifiers; a Prefix and a Suffix. Rare items can have up to 6 Modifiers; 3 Prefixes and 3 Suffixes. More powerful and dangerous enemies are more likely to drop rarer Items.
Lightning damage is one of the five Damage Types. It is reduced by Lightning Resistance. Lightning hits have a chance to Shock based on how much Lightning damage is dealt.
