Editing Diablo II (section)

===Item system===
''Diablo II'' uses a system of randomly generated equipment similar to the [[Diablo (video game)#Items|original ''Diablo'']], but more complicated. Weapons and armor are divided into several quality levels: normal, magical, set, rare, and unique. Normal quality items are base items with a fixed set of basic properties, such as attribute requirements, maximum durability, armor rating (on armor), block chance (on shields), damage, and attack speed (on weapons). Magical quality items have blue names and one or two randomly selected bonuses, such as bonuses attributes, skills, or damage, indicated by a prefix or suffix. Rare quality items have randomly generated yellow names and 2 to 6 random properties. Unique items have fixed names in gold text, and instead of randomized properties, they have a set of 3 to 8 preselected properties. Green-named set items have fixed names and preselected properties like unique items, and belong to specifically named sets of 2 to 6 items. Additional properties known as set bonuses are activated by equipping multiple or all items from the same set. These are themed on individuals, like Civerb's cudgel, shield, and amulet, each of which provides individual bonuses which are enhanced if two or more of the items are used to equip a character. It is unusual to encounter more than one item from a set in a single playthrough of the game, so collectors need to play the game many times to accumulate all items from a set or purchase them online from other players who possess them but do not need them. Additionally, items can possess sockets, which can be used to upgrade items by adding gems for various bonuses.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/|title=The Arreat Summit - Items|website=classic.battle.net|access-date=March 27, 2018|archive-date=March 27, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140327182654/http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/|url-status=live}}</ref>

''Diablo II'' includes an item crafting system. An item called the Horadric Cube is used to combine two or more items to create a new item. For example, three identical lower-quality gems can be combined to create a single higher-quality gem, and three small rejuvenation potions can be combined to create a single, more powerful rejuvenation potion.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/cube.shtml|title=The Arreat Summit - Items: The Horadric Cube|website=classic.battle.net|access-date=March 27, 2018|archive-date=May 15, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130515133227/http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/cube.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref>
