Equipment starts with a base type, for instance Heavy Leggings, and is then classified once more into a quality type. At this point all equipment has it's basic stats. From there you'll find randomized magical affects added to the items.
There are six colors of equipment, each representing a different level of rarity and quality. Yellow items (often considered "unique") are special preset items with a simple name and known stats. Since yellow items are not completely random, they cannot be classified in the same way as the other color types. The order is as follows (in ascending order): White < Green < Blue < Purple < Orange. Note that all color types can have sockets.
- White: basic equipment with no additional modifiers.
- Green: equipment with 1-2 modifiers.
- Blue: equipment with 2-3 modifiers.
- Purple: equipment with 3-4 modifiers.
- Orange: equipment with 3-6 modifiers.
- Yellow: equipment with preset modifiers (see Uniques for more info).
Prefixes and suffixes are text additions to the title of an equipment's name that serve to make the item more unique, as well as apply additional magical affects to it.
