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.

Armour reduces Damage taken from Hits. By default, Armour only applies to Physical Damage. Damage reduction from Armour is proportional to the amount of Damage, and is more effective at reducing smaller hits.

Evasion Rating grants a chance to Evade enemy Hits, preventing them from Hitting you at all. Exact chance to Evade also depends on the attacker's Accuracy.

Energy Shield protects your Life by taking damage instead. Rapidly Recharges if you don't lose Energy Shield for a short time. Chaos damage removes twice as much Energy Shield. Damage from Bleeding and Poison bypasses Energy Shield to remove Life directly.
