Jarulf’s Guide: Items

From The Hell

Notice: The information on this page is copied from Jarulf’s Guide 
about Diablo/Hellfire. Some of it have change in The Hell, and is therefor incorrect.

Most the the infomation has changed in The Hell!

Items play a very important role in Diablo and come in many variants. This chapter will deal with the many aspects of items. Armor and weapons can generally be said to consist of a base item, and to it you can add a prefix and/or a suffix or nothing at all and leave it as a non magical item. The item can also be a unique item instead, in which case it can have up to 6 different properties but it is still based on one of the base items. Rings and amulets work in a similar way but must always have at least one prefix or suffix, or be unique. There exist no non magical rings or amulets. Books and oils also work in a similar way, as they consist of the base item book of and oil of, to which you then add either a spell or an oil type (for exceptions to oils see chapter 3.2.1). Scrolls, on the other hand, are each single base items and do not consist of the base item plus a spell as books do. Finally we have potions, elixirs, and runes that are all base items. In many tables in this chapter there is a reference to a qlvl. That level is used by the game when creating items; see chapter 3.8 and 3.9. Information about qlvl and occurrences of prefixes and suffixes initially came from Bostic.

1 This is a list of the base items upon which quest items are based. It does not include rings or amulets as it would make no difference. Note that any of the above properties may

be superseded by one of the unique properties of the quest item.

Other base items

This chapter will give you information about all those items in the game that you can\’t wear. It also has information about magic related items. However, for information about the

actual spells, how they work and their use, see chapter 4. Books and most oils consist of a base item type, book of and oil of listed in the table below. Each book then has a

spell assigned to it and oils have an oil type assigned.

Type	Price	qlvl
Book of	-	2, 8, 14, 20
Oil of	-	10

Runes and oils

Runes and oils were introduced in Hellfire and do not exist in Diablo. Runes are placed in the dungeons and when a monster or player walks over them the spell is released. They can also

be used directly on a target. Oils are used on items to boost their properties. Note that only effects from oils that affect the durability are carried over when you start a new game.

Rune1	Cost	qlvl	Effect2	Requirement
Rune of Fire	100	1	Casts Fireball	No requirement
Rune of Lightning	200	3	Casts Lightning Wall	Requires 13 magic
Rune of Stone	300	7	Casts Stone Curse	Requires 25 magic
Greater Rune of Fire	400	7	Casts Immolation	Requires 42 magic
Greater Rune of Lightning	500	7	Casts Nova	Requires 42 magic

1 Runes can be found in the dungeon or bought from Adria. 2 Actually not the exact spell but one that is similar to the listed one. It is the player\’s level that effects the damage/duration of the runes. Oils might need some more explanation. They are created by the game in two different ways. You won\’t see that as a player and there is actually no difference in how they work depending

on how they were created. The first three oils in the list below actually exist as a single base item. All other oils, including also versions of the first three ones, are created as a

base item oil of to which an oil type is then assigned, just like spell books. They are listed below the thick line.

Oil1	Cost	qlvl	Effect2
Blacksmith Oil³	100	1	Restores 20% of durability or add 1 to max durability
Oil of Accuracy	500	1	Adds 1-2% To Hit (if < 50)
Oil of Sharpness	500	1	Adds 1 to max damage (if < 30)
Blacksmith³	100	1	Restores 20% of durability or add 1 to max durability (if < 100)
Fortitude³	2 500	5	Adds 10-50 to max and current durability (if < 200)
Permanence^3,4	15 000	17	Makes an item indestructible
Accuracy⁴	500	1	Adds 1-2% To Hit (if < 50)
Mastery⁴	2 500	10	Adds 3-5% To Hit (if < 100)
Hardening⁴	2 500	1	Adds 1-2 AC (if < 60)
Imperviousness⁴	2 500	10	Adds 3-5 AC (if < 120)
Sharpness⁴	500	1	Adds 1 to max damage (if max-min < 30)⁵
Death⁴	2 500	10	Adds 1 to min damage and 2 to max damage (if max-min < 30)⁵
Skill⁴	1 500	4	Decreases all requirement to use by 5-10 (may reach 0)⁶

1 Oils cannot be bought, only found in the dungeons. 2 Only affects the item it is used on. 3 Effect is permanent and carries over when you restart a new game. 4 Only exists in single player. 5 It is the difference between min and max damage that must be less than 30. 6 All requirements are lowered by the same amount.

Potions and elixirs

The tables below hold information about potions and elixirs. As always, the prices are buying prices.

Potion	Cost	qlvl	Effect
Potion of Healing¹	50	1	Restores some of your life
Potion of Full Healing	150	1	Restores all of your life
Potion of Mana¹	50	1	Restores some of your mana
Potion of Full Mana	150	1	Restores all of your mana
Potion of Rejuvenation¹	120	3	Restores some of your life and mana
Potion of Full Rejuvenation	600	7	Restores all of your life and mana

1 See below for information on how much mana/life is restored.

Elixir of Strength	5 000	15	Increases strength by one
Elixir of Magic	5 000	15	Increases magic by one³
Elixir of Dexterity	5 000	15	Increases dexterity by one

In multi player elixirs can be bought from Adria once your character reaches level 26. In single player they can be bought from both Adria and Pepin once you have been on dlvl 13 or in the Hive or the Crypt in Hellfire.
Elixirs of Vitality cannot be bought, only found in the dungeons.
In Hellfire it also restores all of your mana.
In Hellfire it also restores all of your life.

Potions of Healing and Mana restore life and mana as stated below. Potions of Rejuvenation are basically treated as one Potion of Mana and one Potion of Healing. For information on how

scrolls of healing and the Healing spell work, see chapter 4.1.2. Potion of Healing: bonus • maxlife/8 to bonus • 3•maxlife/8 Potion of Mana: bonus • maxmana/8 to bonus • 3•maxmana/8

Any value in the range is equally probable.
The bonus is summarized in the table below.
maxlife and maxmana are the modified values. If they are negative, the amount added will also be negative and in fact subtract life or mana.

Type	Paladin	Scout	Mage	Monk	Assassin	Gladiator
Healing	2.0	1.5	1.0	1.5¹	1.5¹	2.0
Mana	1.0	1.5	2.0	1.5¹	1.5¹	1.0

1 When using a Potion of Rejuvenation the bonus for a Monk and a Assassin is 1.0 due to a bug in Hellfire.

Books, scrolls and staves with spells

Books, scrolls and staves with spells are found in the dungeons but can also be bought from Adria. Healing scrolls and scrolls of Resurrection (only in multi player) can also be bought

from Pepin. Below is listed how much you have to pay for scrolls, books, and data for calculating the cost of staves with spells. For information on how to calculate staff prices, see

chapter 3.6. You can also find information about qlvl; see chapters 3.8 and 3.9 for information about qlvl and how to use it. Note that for books and staves, the qlvl is of the actual

spell on that base item. The base item, staff or book of, has its own qlvl as well. As with other items, you can sell any book, scroll, or staff for one fourth of the price.

Note that in Hellfire, staves without spells are bought and sold at Griswold. In Hellfire, Wirt will also sell staves both with and without spells.

Prefixes and suffixes

All equipable items can have a prefix and/or a suffix. In the tables below, you can see the effects of each prefix and suffix in the game. The tables also provide information about the

qlvl of each prefix and suffix, as well as information for calculating the price of any magical item (steps, base-max, range and multiplier). See chapter 3.6 for formulas to calculate

prices of items. The prefixes and suffixes are grouped according to what type of effect they have. Unless otherwise stated, prefixes and suffixes are cumulative with others of the same

type and also with effects on unique items that are of the same type. For information on how items are assigned prefixes and suffixes, see chapter 3.8 and 3.9. Not all prefixes and suffixes can occur on all types of items. The tables also list on which type of items you will find each prefix and suffix. The following abbreviations are used:

decrease in AC less than 1 will be transformed into a positive increase by 1.

1 In Diablo these suffixes lower the AC of the target by a specific random amount in the range shown in the table. In Hellfire they reduce the AC of the target by a certain

percentage shown in the table. It does not work against players. The exact value (in Diablo) is determined at the time of creation of the item and the extra To Hit is never shown on the

light radius. As a curiosity, the light radius is always one square less in the catacombs and it is always the highest light radius you have had on a level that counts, even if you

later lower it.

1 Does not work versus players. 2 These effects are not cumulative if you have them more than once. They are cumulative with other effects though. 3 In Hellfire it also absorbs half arrow and magical damage (magic, fire, lightning and apocalypse) from monster attacks. It is applied before both -damage and resistance. 4 Only available in Hellfire. 5 Damage bonus applies to total damage, not just weapon damage. 6 Does not work on bows. 7 A prefix. 8 Affects total damage versus monsters but only weapon damage and character damage versus user. This damage is modified by any -damage from enemies, though. 9 The game erroneously states it does 0-5. Average value is 2. For more details, see chapter 6.2.1. Does not work against Diablo or unique monsters.

Unique items

Unique items differ from normal magical items in that they have a special name and can have up to six different magical properties. You can still find more than one of each, even in the

same game (in single player the game keeps track of what unique items exist in the current game, and will not create the same a second time). Having a different picture than that of the

normal base item it is based upon is considered as one of the six special properties. All non quest unique items are based on a normal base item, and unless otherwise changed by the

unique properties, retain all the stats of that normal base item. Unique quest items are based on special quest base items. Those special quest base items can be found in chapter 3.3.

Such items are also noted by having n/a in the qlvl column. If you are playing the Playstation version you should know that when you restart a new game, any unique item is transformed into gold, which is quite annoying.

Properties of unique items

In the tables below are listed all unique items in the game that you can equip, both the ones randomly generated and the ones given as part of quests. For special quest items that are

unequipable, see chapter 3.3. The prices shown are the buying prices. You can never buy unique items however. The stated qlvl is used in item generation, see chapter 3.8. Please note

that all items belo'w a thick line are only available in Hellfire. The Pic column indicates whether the item has a unique picture or not.

1 The effect is +75%, not max resistance. If you wear both a Gotterdamerung and a Constricting Ring, your resistance would still be 0%. Similarly, if you use some item that

decreases any resistance, the final value may not be 75%. 2 If you are using Mana Shield, the damage will as any other damage be taken from your mana instead. Due to rounding errors with such small damage values, the actual value may not

be correctly reduced by the Mana Shield. For more information about the Mana Shield, see chapter 6.1.1. 3 A quest item only available in single player. 4 Has the effect equivalent to "of Puncturing", that is, adds 4-12 to To Hit in Diablo. In Hellfire it reduces the AC by 87.5% (+12.5% if Gladiator making any AC of a monster

equal 0) and is thus better than any of the suffixes with the same property. 5 A quest item. Not really a unique item.

Unfindable unique items in multi player

Due to the way the game generates unique items (see chapter 3.8), some unique items will never be found in multi player. The same items are findable in single player but only if you

find another unique item of the same base item and qlvl first in the same game session. This phenomenon occurs when there are multiple items of the same base item and qlvl. The table

below lists those items. Note that the list for Diablo is also applicable to Hellfire.

Diablo	Hellfire1
Bramble (ring)	Armor of Gloom (full plate mail)
Crackrust (mace)	Demonspike Coat (full plate mail)
The Deflector (buckler)	Giant\’s Knuckle (ring)
Gonnagal\’s Dirk (dagger)	The Grizzly (two-handed sword)
Lightforge² (mace)	Inferno (long sword)
The Mangler (large axe)	Karik\’s Ring (ring)
	Mercurial Ring (ring)
	Ring of Magma (ring)
	Ring of the Mystics (ring)
	Xorine\’s Ring (ring)

1 In addition to the ones from Diablo. 2 It seems that although findable in single player, it will morph as soon as a new game is started or loaded. The table below lists the order for those cases where more than two unique items have the same qlvl. All other cases only have two items with the same qlvl and it should be obvious that

the unique item not in the table above is dropped first (and always dropped in multi player).

Base item	qlvl	Order, from first to last1
Full Plate Mail	25	Demon Plate Armor, Armor of Gloom and Demonspike Coat
Mace	1	Civerb\’s Cudgel, Crackrust and Lightforge

Prices of magical items

This chapter will describe how the price of magical items is calculated. Please note that much of the information in this chapter was initially compiled and collected by Ironbeard. I

have rewritten it quite a bit to better fit with the rest of the guide and newer findings.

Formulas

The price of a magical item is affected by three elements: the base effect of a prefix/suffix, the quality effect of a prefix/suffix, and the item\’s base cost multiplied by the

prefix/suffix intrinsic multiplier. On staves with spells there is an additional factor added to the item\’s base cost which depends on the spell type and number of charges. The

formulas for calculating the price of all magical items are given below. All magical items except staves with spells: C = B_p + B_s +Q_p + Q_s + I • (M_p + M_s) if M_p + M_s  0 C = B_p + B_s +Q_p + Q_s + I / (M_p + M_s) if M_p + M_s < 0 Staves with spells: C = B_p +Q_p + (I + H•P) • M_p if M_p  0 C = B_p +Q_p + (I + H•P) / M_p if M_p < 0 where: C = Total cost B_p = Base prefix effect B_s = Base suffix effect Q_p = Quality effect of the prefix Q_s = Quality effect of the suffix I = Cost of base item H = Number of charges on staff P = Spell multiplier M_p = Prefix intrinsic multiplier M_s = Suffix intrinsic multiplier

On plentiful and bountiful staves, one should take the base amount of charges. That is, divide the number of charges shown by 2 for plentiful and 3 for bountiful staves.

Some prefixes/suffixes, like speed or the ages, do not have the Q to affect the price, and in such cases the price formulas would be simplified to: All magical items except staves with spells: C = B_p + B_s + I • (M_p + M_s) if M_p + M_s  0 C = B_p + B_s + I / (M_p + M_s) if M_p + M_s < 0 Staves with spells: C = B_p + (I + H•P) • M_p if M_p  0 C = B_p + (I + H•P) / M_p if M_p < 0 Cursed and semi-cursed items The lower formulas (if M_p + M_s <0 or M_p < 0) only come into play when you have a prefix/suffix with a negative multiplier. Only cursed prefixes and

suffixes have that. However, one suffix, of corruption, although being a cursed one, has a positive multiplier. On the other hand, it has a negative base suffix effect. For items

that are all cursed, the sum is always negative. For semi cursed items, that is, those that have one cursed and one non cursed prefix and suffix, one has to first calculate the sum of

the two multipliers to see which formula to use. The quality effect, Q Let\’s look into the somewhat trickier part, the Q thing. Some prefixes/suffixes have different levels of quality. For example, the suffix vigor can have an attribute boost on

vitality ranging from 16 to 20 points. Or, the prefix massive can boost a weapon\’s damage from 96% to 110%. This has an effect on the cost. Let\’s use the prefix massive as an example here. The lowest level of quality of that prefix is when it gives a weapon a damage boost of 96%. At that point, the prefix has the base

effect B of 2000 and what is more, at that base level of quality, the prefix has no quality effect Q on the item\’s price. If we take the highest quality (110%), we will have a quality

effect Q of 450 on the price. Putting it together we can see that the B + Q can range from 2000 (the base B value) to 2450 (the max value). Subtracting 2000 from 2450 we get 450, which

is the quality range of the prefix, we shall call it R (range). Now, how about the different quality levels in between the base and the max values? Starting from the base at 96% we go on to 97%, 98%,… until we reach the max Q value at 110%. And we

took 14 steps to get there (110 - 96 = 14). The quality level on the first step (97%) is 1/14 or 0.071428. On the second step it is 2/14 or 0.142857 and so on until on the last step (at

110%) it is 14/14 or 1. The Q can now be counted with the values we have: Q = L/S • R where: L = Location or quality level S = Total number of steps in the prefix/suffix R = Range of the quality effect (Max - Base) One important note here: When counting the value of L/S and you get something like 0.071428 or 0.777777 (7/9) you take into account only two digits after the decimal, meaning that in

the first case we would have the L/S to yield 0.07 and in the second case 0.77. Alternatively one can use the formula below in which case the rounding is done automatically: Q = \[ \{ \[ (100•(Stat - MinStat)) / (MaxStat - MinStat) \] • (Max - Base) \} / 100 \] Unidentified magical item An unidentified magical item has a price as given below. All magical items except staves with spells: C = I Staves with spells: C = I + H•P

Additional notes on the prices

On any armor or helm, the actual armor class has no effect on the price, i.e. full plate (AC 74) of ages has the same price as full plate (AC 69) of ages. In the prefixes like

Paladin\’s and king\’s which give weapons a boost both to the To Hit and damage, the To Hit does not affect the price, only the damage quality level has an effect on the price. For items that are not cursed or semi cursed (or rather M_p + M_s > 0), one can calculate the price of an item having both a prefix and a suffix as two separate

items, one having the prefix and one having the suffix, and simply add the prices together. You can sell items to Griswold and Adria for one fourth of the item\’s price. Wirt\’s price is 150% times Griswold\’s price in Diablo and 75% times Griswold\’s price in Hellfire. Some

items can be sold by both Griswold and Wirt and identical items can thus have different prices depending on where you bought it. Items found in dungeons always have Griswold prices. Any

item bought at Wirt will have its price reset to the normal one, 100% of Griswold\’s price, as soon as you start a new game, give it away, or leave it on the ground and go to another

dungeon level or town. You can\’t sell an item at Griswold if you will be given more gold for it than can fit in your inventory. At Adria, however, any excess gold will simply be discarded.

Recharge cost

Staves can be recharged at Adria (or by a Mage, see chapter 2.4). The cost to recharge a staff can be calculated using the formula below: R_cC = FR_cC • (1 - CurCha/MaxCha) where: R_cC = Recharge Cost FR_cC = Full Recharge Cost (see below) MaxDur = Maximum charges on item CurDur = Current charges on item The Full Recharge Cost in the formula above can be calculated with: FR_cC = 0.50 • (I + 5•P) if unique or starting staff of the Mage FR_cC = 0.50 • (I + H•P + 5•P) if not unique and not starting staff of the Mage where: FR_cC = Full Recharge Cost I = Cost of base item (always a staff). H = Number of charges on staff. P = The spell multiplier.

The base cost of the starting staff for Mages can be found in chapter 2.5. For other staves, see chapter 3.1.
On plentiful and bountiful staves, one should take the base amount of charges. That is divide the number of charges shown by 2 for plentiful and 3 for bountiful staves.
As the recharge cost is not influenced by the prefix of the staff, there is no difference to the recharge cost between an identified and an unidentified staff.
If a Mage uses his recharge skill on a staff, one should still use the initial number of charges in the formula.

If the recharge cost is less than 1 gold (can happen if the ratio CurDur/MaxDur is less than 1%), Adria will actually recharge the staff for free, that is 0 gold. Just as with the price of magical items, when counting the value of CurCha/MaxCha you take into account only two digits after the decimal. Alternatively one can use the formula below in

which case the rounding is done automatically: R_cC = \[ \[ \{ \[ (100•(MaxCha - CurCha)) / MaxCha \] • (I + H•P + 5•P) \} / 100 \] / 2 \]

Of course, for unique staves and the starting staff of the Mage, skip H•P in the formula above.

Durability of items

All unique items and staves with spells found in the dungeon have full durability. So do all items bought in town, of course. All other items found in the dungeon only have partial

durability in the range below: Durability of items found in dungeon: (1 + maxdur/4) to 3•maxdur/4

Losing durability

All items (except those that are indestructible) have a durability, which will, over time, decrease as you fight. The table below explains under what circumstances and with what chance

the durability will go down. It will never go down by more than 1 at a time.

Item type	When durability may decrease	Chance of decreasing
Armor¹	Character is stunned	3/4 • 2/3 = 1/2² 50.0%
Helm¹	Character is stunned	3/4 • 1/3 = 1/4² 25.0%
Shield	Character blocks an attack	1/10 10.0%
Melee weapon	Character hits	1/30 3.3%
Bow	Character fires	1/40 2.5%

1 If you don\’t wear both armor and helm but only one of them, the chance is 3/4 that its durability will be decreased. 2 You will never lose durability on both the armor and the helm in the same hit.

Repair cost

Repairs are done at Griswold (or by a Paladin, see chapter 2.4). Griswold uses the following formulas to calculate the cost: R_pC = 0.15 • Price • (1 - CurDur/MaxDur) For magical and unique items R_pC = 0.50 • Price • (1 - CurDur/MaxDur) For non magical and unidentified items where: R_pC = Repair Cost Price = Buying price of the item MaxDur = Maximum durability of item CurDur = Current durability of item If the repair cost is less than 1 gold Griswold won\’t repair it. That makes many of the cursed items irreparable. There also seems to be a bug so that when the ratio CurDur/MaxDur is

greater than 99%, the repair cost is rounded down to 0 along the way and is thus not repairable until it takes more damage. Just as with the price of magical items, when counting the value of CurDur/MaxDur you take into account only two digits after the decimal. Alternatively one can use the formulas below

(plus the step by step list following) in which case the rounding is done automatically: For magical and unique items first calculate: R_pC = \[ \{ \[ (100•(MaxDur - CurDur)) / MaxDur\] • (30 • Price) \} / 100 \] For non magical and unidentified items first calculate: R_pC = \[ \{ \[ (100•(MaxDur - CurDur)) / MaxDur\] • Price \} / 100 \] Then, do the following:

if R_pC = 1, then exit
if R_pC > 1, then R_pC = \[R_pC/2\], that is, divide the repair cost by 2, then exit
if the item is a non magical and non unique item, set R_pC = 1, then exit
if the item is not identified, set R_pC = 1, then exit
at this point the item is an identified magical or unique item and R_pC is 0 or below 0; the item is in this case not repairable (this would be the case for identified

cursed and some semi cursed items)

Item creation in dungeon

This chapter tries to explain how the game creates items and what factors affect the creation. Only items generated in the dungeon are discussed. Some of it applies to items created in

town as well, but for more details about items created in town, see chapter 3.9. Most of this chapter will not refer specifically to the Hive or the Crypt, but as with much else, they

should be equivalent to Caves and Hell. Some quests will give you special items (not counting the special quest items). For information about them, see each individual quest in chapter

8. In most of the situations below the game has to pick a certain item, prefix/suffix, unique, spell, or other property of an item out of several possible ones or within a range. Unless

otherwise noted the probability should be equal for all possible choices in that situation. Base item in this chapter not only refers to the various equipable items, but also includes scrolls, potions, elixirs, runes, books of and oils of; see chapters 3.1 - 3.2.3 for

information about them. An item can come from many different sources in the dungeon, and depending on the source, the creation routine is a bit different. To facilitate the explanation below let us first

define a new term, ilvl. It is defined for various sources in the table below. For information about a monsters mlvl or mlvl_item, see chapters 5.2 and 5.4.

Source of item	Definition of ilvl
normal monster	mlvl¹
unique monster and special monster²	mlvl_item³
decapitated body, sarcophagus, on the ground⁴, bookcase, skeleton tome, library book and racks	2•dlvl⁵
chest, barrel, pod, urn	2•dlvl or dlvl^5,6

1 Use the mlvl for normal difficulty regardless of what difficulty you are playing on. 2 Note that for the purpose of dropping items, Diablo is neither a special nor a unique monster but a normal one. 3 The +4 bonus will be found in the appropriate steps below. 4 You will often find potions of various sorts on the ground; they are specially placed there and are not generated according to normal rules. 5 The Hive levels are numbered 9-12 and the Crypt levels are numbered 13-16. 6 Most chests, barrels, pods and urns have an ilvl equal to 2•dlvl, although some have it equal to dlvl. Those that have the ilvl equal to dlvl will only generate potions and

scrolls (and oils in Hellfire). See chapter 3.8.1 for more information. Items created with an ilvl = dlvl are referred to as special items in this chapter. Special items Special items appear on those occasions where the item created will not follow normal procedures. Such special items will normally only generate potions and scrolls (in Hellfire it also

includes oils). For more information about what base items are possible for special items, see chapter 3.8.3.

What is dropped?

First the game has do decide if an item is to be dropped at all, if it is going to be gold or an item. The exact probabilities for these are greatly affected by the source of the item.

Each source is explained below. Normal monster Gold: 30.3% Item: 10.7% Nothing: 59.0%

Some monster types (Winged Fiends and Hork Spawns) never drop items.

Unique monster Item: 100%

Unique monsters always drop an item, and it can either be a book or an item that can take on a prefix and/or suffix (or be unique).

Chest Chests can have several possible amounts of items in them and the exact amount is also affected by the size of the chest. The number of possible items from a chest is explained in

the table below.

*Number of possible* items**	Small chest	Chest	Large chest
0	50 %	33.3 %	25 %
1	50 %	33.3 %	25 %
2	-	33.3%	25 %
3	-	-	25 %

For each chest the probability of the items in them being created with varying ilvl is: Special item (ilvl = dlvl): 12.5% Non special item (ilvl = 2•dlvl): 87.5% All items in a chest will thus either be all special items or all non special items. For each possible item in a chest without special items, the probability is then as follows: Gold: 75% Item: 25% If the chest is determined to have special items, all possible items will drop as special items. For information about items created by different ilvl, see chapter 3.8.2. Chests only exist in church, catacombs, caves and hell. Barrels, pods and urns Pods and Urns are, for item creation, treated as barrels, so anything said about barrels below applies equally to pods and urns. Barrels can be of two different types, exploding and non exploding. For information about exploding barrels, see chapter 4.3. Approximately 20% of all barrels are exploding ones. The

information below will only apply to non exploding barrels. Exploding barrels will never have items in them. Skeleton: 20% Gold: 10% Special item: 6.7% Item: 3.3% Nothing: 60%

Barrels can only exist in church, catacombs, caves and hell.
Pods can only exist in the Hive.
Urns can only exists in the Crypt.

Sarcophagus Skeleton: 20% Gold: 22.5% Item: 7.5% Nothing: 50%

Sarcophagi can only exist in church and in the crypt.

Decapitated bodies Gold: 75% Item: 25%

Decapitated bodies can only exist in catacombs, caves and hell.

Weapon Rack Axe: 25% Bow: 25% Club: 25% Sword: 25%

Weapon racks can never exist in church.

Armor Rack dlvl 5: light armor dlvl 6-9: medium armor dlvl 10-15: heavy armor

See chapter 3.1 for a definition of light, medium and heavy armor.
Armor racks can never exist in church.

Bookcase Book: 100%

Bookcases can only exist in church and catacombs.

Library book and Skeleton Tome Book: 20% Scroll: 80%

Only scrolls of Apocalypse, Healing, Identify, Infravision, Nova, Mana Shield, Phasing, Teleport, and Town Portal are possible.
Library books and Skeleton Tomes can only exist in church and catacombs.

Item type

Next, the item type that is to be generated is determined, and the procedure is as follows (this step is skipped for gold and special items). Determination of base item First, it has to be determined what the base item should be. For information about base items, see chapters 3.1 and 3.2. Each base item has a qlvl, and those within the ranges below can

be dropped. Depending on the source of the item some base items are, of course, excluded (see chapter 3.8.1). Normal and special monster: 1 to mlvl Unique monster: 1 to mlvl_battle Other: 1 to ilvl

Note that the mlvl is the one modified for difficulty level when the item comes from a monster.

Of all the possible base items, one is chosen at random with an equal probability for all items. Bows, however, are actually counted twice if the item is dropped by a normal (non unique

or special) monster, and thus have a double chance of being created. Note that some base items like rings, amulets, and books have several different base items with different qlvl. You

will never notice any difference when playing other than them being more common as the ilvl and mlvl go up (as more of each type is possible at higher ilvl and mlvl). See chapter

3.13.1. for a list of base items in the order of their qlvl. Is it magical? Now it is time to determine if the item is magical or not. Only items that can have a prefix/suffix (or be unique) can be magical. For other items this test is not done. The probability

of being magical is as follows depending on the source of the item: Unique monster: 100% On the ground: 100% Weapon rack: 100% Armor rack on dlvl 5 and 13-15: 100% Armor rack on dlvl 6-9: (55.5 + 0.445•(ilvl+1))% Armor rack on dlvl 10-12: (11 + 0.89•(ilvl+1))% Monster: (11 + 0.89•(ilvl+1))% Other: (11 + 0.89•(ilvl+1))%

Only equipable items can be magical; for other base items this step is not performed.
Rings and amulets are always magical.
Staves are always magical if they have no spell, see chapter 3.8.3 under Staff for more information.
On the ground only refers to equipable items found, often in special rooms, in the dungeon. It is quite possible that the probability of those items being magical is less than 100%

outside of Hell. Is it unique? If the item was determined to be magical it is next checked for to see if it is unique. The probability of being unique is listed below depending on source. Note that the probability to

be unique is applied for this step only. The total probability of an item to be unique is of course less as not all items are magical or even could be magical. Unique monster: 16% Other: 2%

Item properties

Once the base item has been determined, the properties of the item are to be decided. In many cases the item can\’t have additional properties. That is the case for scrolls, potions,

non magical items (as determined by the step above), runes, and some oils (see chapter 3.2.1). If so, this step is not performed. Otherwise, the properties have to be determined, and

the procedure depends a bit on what type of item it is. Thus, each item type will be dealt with separately. Gold The amount of gold dropped or found on the dungeon floor is determined by the formulas below: Normal difficulty: 5•dlvl to 15•dlvl - 1 Nightmare difficulty: 5•(16 + dlvl) to 15•(16 + dlvl) - 1 Hell difficulty: 5•(32 + dlvl) to 15•(32 + dlvl) - 1

The Hive levels are numbered 9-12 and the Crypt levels are numbered 13-16.

Furthermore, on any hell dungeon level (dlvl 13-16) or Crypt dungeon level (dlvl 13-16) the amount of gold is increased by: Hell or Crypt dungeon level: amount • 1.125

The amount is taken from the appropriate formula above depending on the difficulty level.

Unique item If the item is determined to be unique, the game will drop the unique item that is of the correct base item (determined above) and that has a qlvl according to below: Unique and special monster: 1 to ilvl+4 All other sources: 1 to ilvl If several unique items are possible, the one with the highest qlvl will be dropped. If several unique items that are possible have the same qlvl, the one that happens to be first in

the list will be dropped. This is the reason that some unique items will never be dropped as there is always another unique item with the same qlvl (and being of the same base item)

that will be dropped instead. See chapter 3.5.2 for a list of such unique items. In single player (but not in multi player) the game keeps track of what unique items have been dropped (or recreated at game start in a characters inventory) and if the same item is

determined to be dropped again (or regenerated at game start), the next one with the same qlvl or the one with the next lower qlvl will instead be dropped. Thus in single player you can

actually find those "unfindable" unique items but you must find at last one other unique item of the same base item first. The game will forget the list of found unique items when you

restart a new game however. The list is saved when you save the game in single player but not restored upon load except for those items you have equipped. A unique item has up to 6 special properties, which are described in more detail in chapter 3.5. If for any reason the game fails to select a unique item (for example if there is no

unique item with a low enough qlvl), the game will then proceed to create the item as a normal magical item instead. Magical item A magical item has a prefix and/or a suffix (it can of course also be unique but that is covered above). Below are the probabilities for an item having a prefix, a suffix, or both of

them. Prefix only: 20.8% Suffix only: 62.5% Prefix and suffix: 16.7% The qlvl of the prefix and/or suffix must be within the range given below: Unique and special monster: \[(ilvl+4)/2\] to ilvl+4 All other sources: \[ilvl/2\] to ilvl

Round down the minimum level. If it is higher than 25, it is set to 25.
The actual value of the prefix or suffix is chosen randomly within its range.
Some prefixes has a double chance of being picked, see below.

The range above means that unless the lower limit is set to 25, the highest qlvl of an item with both a prefix and a suffix can\’t be more than twice the level of the lower one. This

rule is good to know when you want to see if a prefix and a suffix can coexist on an item. It is also worth noticing that as the range above is based on the mlvl, not modified for

difficulty level (or 2•dlvl), so the prefix and suffix with the highest qlvl you will ever find in the dungeon has qlvl 34. There is no prefix or suffix in the range of 32-34, so qlvl

31 is the highest one you will find, and only emerald has that qlvl. In Hellfire (but not Diablo), Diablo is level 45, so he can drop items with prefixes and suffixes of qlvl up to 45.

Similarly, Na-Krul can drop items with prefixes and suffixes of qlvl up to 44 as he is level 40, and the +4 bonus for being a unique monster applies to him. If for any reason the game

fails to select a prefix and/or a suffix, the game will then proceed to create the item as a normal non magical item instead. See chapter 3.13.3 for a list of prefixes and suffixes in

the order of their qlvl. Some prefixes actually has a double chance of being chosen. The table below list all prefixes that has a double chance of being chosen.

+% Armor Class	+% To Hit	+% To Hit / +% Damage Done\|\|+% Damage Done
vulnerable¹	tin¹	clumsy¹	useless¹
rusted¹	brass¹	dull¹	bent¹
fine	bronze	sharp¹	weak
strong	iron	fine	jagged
grand	steel	Paladin\’s	deadly
valiant	silver	soldier\’s	heavy
glorious	gold	lord\’s	vicious
blessed	platinum	knight\’s	brutal
saintly	mithril	master\’s	massive
awesome	meteoric	champion\’s	savage
holy	weird	king\’s	ruthless
godly	strange		merciless

1 A cursed prefix. See below for more information when possible. Despite what has been said above, there are some combinations of prefixes and suffixes that can-not exist on the same item. The table below list all combinations that are. As the game

always picks the prefix first, it is always the suffix that will be discarded; this can be important to know if one wants to figure out exactly what items are possible and the

probabilities of them.

None of the combinations below can exist on the same item
angel\’s trouble	gold pain	silver corruption
arch-angel\’s trouble	gold the dark	silver pain
blessed trouble	gold the bear	silver the dark
frog\’s vitality	mithril trouble	silver the bear
glorious trouble	platinum trouble	spider\’s vitality
gold pit	saintly trouble	vicious vim
gold the vulture	silver pit	vicious vigor
gold corruption	silver the vulture	vicious radiance

Cursed prefixes and suffixes are those who give some sort of drawback to your character when you wear them. It is quite obvious for most prefixes and suffixes. For the ones affecting

the light radius, the ones decreasing it are considered as cursed ones. The prefix sharp is also treated as cursed, most likely due to a bug. Cursed items are not allowed to appear

when the item comes from certain sources. Below is listed if a source can give out cursed items, and if it can, how large the chance is compared to non cursed prefixes and suffixes. Unique monsters: No Weapon Rack: No Armor Rack on dlvl 5 and 13-15: No Armor Rack on dlvl 6-9: 16.5% Armor Rack on dlvl 10-12: 33.0% Adria, Griswold, Pepin and Wirt: No On the ground: No Other: 33.0%

Sources that will not produce equipable items can never produce cursed items.
If possible, a cursed prefix will, if it is found in the table above with prefixes with a double chance of being chosen, have a double chance compared to other cursed prefixes.

Staff Staves can either have a spell or be normal magical items (of course, they can also be plain staves but that is very rare). The chances for what type the staff will be is as follows: Chance for having spell: 75% Chance for having prefix if it has a spell: 10%

Staves from a location that has a 100% chance of being magical will, if they have a spell, always have a prefix. as staves with spells without a prefix will not be considered as

magical by the game. Staves that do not have a spell, are treated the same way as any other magical item; see above. However, if they have a spell, they are created a bit differently. For the spell and the

prefix they follow the ranges below: Range of qlvl for spell on staves from unique and special monster: 1 to \[(ilvl+4/)2\] Range of qlvl for spell on staves from all other sources: 1 to ilvl/2 Range of qlvl for prefix on staff with spell from unique and special monster: 1 to ilvl+4 Range of qlvl for prefix on staff with spell from all other sources: 1 to ilvl

Note that the qlvl of a spell is different depending on whether it appears on a staff or on a book.

When found in the dungeon, all non unique staves with spells have full charges. Unique staves has a specific number of current charges according to the table below. All staves bought in

town have full charges, of course.

Unique staff	Number of charges when found1
Gleamsong	10
Mindcry	13
Naj\’s Puzzler	23
The Protector	2
Rod of Onan	21
Thundercall	3

1 I would say this is a bug and the intention was to make unique staves also have full charges when found. As it is now, the number of charges is the same as the slot number in

which you find the spell on the item in the internal spell table. Due to the way the game picks a random spell, some spells have a higher chance to be selected than others at a given situation. As the probabilities are different for different ilvl, it

is hard to give exact numbers. The general procedure is as follows:

calculate x = Rnd\[37\] + 1 (in Hellfire, calculate x = Rnd\[52\] + 1)
start with the first spell in the internal list of spells
step forward until a spell that exists on staves (or books if it is for a book) and has low enough ilvl is found (if you ever reach the end, restart from the beginning)
decrease x by one
if x is not 0, goto step 3
the last spell found in step 3, is the one chosen to appear on the staff (or book)

In single player, the spells Heal Other and Resurrect are automatically skipped and do not count even if their ilvl is high enough.
Spells at the start of the list will have a higher probability than those later in the list. The exact cut off depends on the ilvl. This means that there will be two different levels

of probabilities for the spells, a higher one for spells at the start of the list and a lower one for spells at the end of the list. At rare occasions all spells will have the same

probability.

The order of the spells is not the same as in your spell book or any of the other lists in this Guide. The table below lists the order of the spells for the purpose of selecting a

spell for a staff or a book.

Position1	Spell	Book	Staff	Position1	Spell	Book	Staff
1	Firebolt	Yes	Yes	19	Charged Bolt	Yes	Yes
2	Healing	Yes	Yes	20	Holy Bolt	Yes	Yes

17	Apocalypse	Yes²	Yes	35	Search	Yes	Yes
18	Elemental	Yes	Yes

1 Position 26 to 35 only exist in Hellfire. 2 Only exists as books in Hellfire. 3 In single player, the spells Heal Other and Resurrect are automatically skipped and do not count even if the ilvl is high enough. Book If the item type is a book of, the game then attaches a spell to the book. The qlvl of the spell can be in the range given below. For a list of qlvl of spells on books see chapter

3.2.3. Range of qlvl for spell on books: 1 to ilvl/2

Note that the qlvl of a spell is different depending on whether it appears on a book or on a staff.

For information about how the spell is chosen, see above under Staff. Oil Oils can, as noted in chapter 3.2.1, be of two types; either the oil together with its type is treated as a base item, just like a potion and thus no further processing of the oil is

needed, or it can be created as the base item oil of, to which an oil type is then attached. See chapter 3.2.1 for more information on which oils can be created in which way. If the

case is the latter one, the oil type attached to the oil follows the range below: Range of qlvl for oil type: 1 to ilvl Special item A special item can only be of a limited number of base items. In Diablo, the list below shows what base items are possible and their probabilities. Scroll of Town Portal 33.3% Potion of Healing 33.3% Potion of Mana 33.3% In Hellfire the list is slightly modified and depends on the dlvl. For dlvl 1 the list of probabilities is: Potion of Healing 42.9% Potion of Mana 42.9% Blacksmith Oil 14.3% For any dlvl higher than 1 in Hellfire, the list of probabilities is: Scroll of Town Portal 28.6% Potion of Healing 28.6% Potion of Mana 28.6% Blacksmith Oil 14.3%

Item creation in town

For many parts, the creation of items in town is the same as that in the dungeon, but there are several differences and they are explained in this chapter. In the table below are listed

what type of items you can buy from each person in town.

Person	Items sold1
Adria	staves², books, scrolls, mana potions, rejuvenation potions and elixirs³
Griswold	weapons (excluding staves⁴), armor, helms, shields and jewlery⁵
Pepin	healing potions, rejuvenation potions, scroll of resurrect, scroll of healing and elixirs^3,5
Wirt⁶	weapons (excluding staves⁴), armor, helms, shields and jewlery⁵

1 Only Griswold and Adria will buy items. 2 In Hellfire only with spells. 3 Once you are level 26 in multi player or have been to Hell, Crypt, or Hive in single player. 4 In Hellfire he does sell staves. 5 In single player only. 6 For special exceptions regarding Wirt, see chapter 3.9.4. Just as for item creation in the dungeon we start by defining the ilvl for each person that you can shop from in town. It is done in the table below.

Source of item	Definition of ilvl
Adria	special¹
Griswold basic items	special¹
Griswold premium items	varying from clvl-1 to clvl+2²
Pepin	special¹
Wirt	clvl

1 See table below for how clvl is converted to ilvl in special cases. 2 Maximum ilvl is 30 in all cases, though. In Hellfire it varies from clvl-1 to clvl+3. See table below for exact variation. As noted in the table above, ilvl is in many cases derived in a special way; the table below explains how it is derived for Adria\’s, Pepin\’s and Griswold\’s basic items. In multi

player it depends on your character level. In single player it depends on what dungeon level you have been to in the current game. Difficulty does not affect it in any way.

Definition of ilvl at Adria, Pepin and for Griswold\’s basic items
Single Player	Multi Player
dlvl	clvl	ilvl
1 - 4	1 - 9	6

Hive / Crypt¹		16

1 Only available in Hellfire. For Griswold\’s premium items the ilvl varies depending on what slot the items is created in (in his list of items). The table below explains exactly how.

Definition of ilvl for Griswold\’s premium items
	Diablo	Hellfire
slot1	ilvl	ilvl
1	clvl - 1	clvl - 1
2	clvl - 1	clvl - 1
3	clvl	clvl - 1

11		clvl + 1
12		clvl + 2
13		clvl + 2
14		clvl + 3
15		clvl + 3

1 There are only six slots in Diablo. When you gain a level, the items in slot 1 and 2 (and 3 in Hellfire) are removed and items are pushed upwards so that slot 4 and 6 becomes empty (slot 11, 13 and 15 in Hellfire). Those

empty slots are then refilled with new items of the appropriate ilvl matching the slot. It is worth noticing that even if two characters are the same level they will be offered different items in town even if they are in the same game. Thus, it can be rewarding to ask

others to check for any item you might want if you are playing multi player.

Adria

Adria has an unlimited supply of Potions of Mana, Potions of Full Mana and scrolls of Town Portal. In addition to those, Adria offers 7 to 14 random base items with a qlvl in the range

below. She will renew her inventory each time you come back up from the dungeons or reload the game in single player. Range of qlvl for base item: 1 to ilvl The prefix, suffix and spell on the appropriate item is then chosen according to the ranges below: Range of qlvl for spell (staff or book): 1 to ilvl Range of qlvl for prefix on staff with spell: 1 to 2•ilvl Range of qlvl for prefix and suffix on staff without spell: ilvl to 2•ilvl As the ilvl at Adria can never be higher than 16 (see table in chapter 3.9), there is a cap at qlvl 32 for prefixes and suffixes at Adria. For spells and base items the cap is at 16.

Griswold

Griswold has two types of items: basic ones that are not magical, and premier ones that are always magic. Basic items For the basic items he offers 10 to 19 random items with a qlvl in the range below. Range of qlvl for base item: 1 to ilvl As with items from normal monsters, bows has a double chance of being selected. He will renew his inventory of basic items each time you come back up from the dungeons or reload the

game in single player. Premier items For the premier items, Griswold sells base items with a qlvl that follow the range listed below. He will offer 6 items in Diablo and 15 items in Hellfire. The qlvl of the prefix and

suffix of magical items also follows the same range. Range of qlvl for base item: ilvl/4 to ilvl Range of qlvl for prefixes and suffixes: ilvl/2 to ilvl

Maximum level of prefixes and suffixes at Griswold is 30.
As already described, the ilvl varies a bit from item to item.
Griswold will add a new item to his inventory as soon as you buy one of them. He will not change his inventory when you come back up from the dungeons but will change some of them

when you gain a level.

The exact procedure of choosing item type and prefixes and suffixes are the same as for magical items in the dungeon. See chapter 3.8 for more information.

In Hellfire there is an additional factor to consider. If possible he will try to sell items that are better (more expensive than 80% of your most expensive item) than the ones you are

already carrying (both equipped ones and not equipped ones). The test is done separately for each item type group (amulet, armor, axe, bow, club, helm, ring, shield, staff and sword).

If you don\’t have any item of a type, any other item of that type is considered to be better. Thus to get progressively better items you should keep the most expensive item of each

item type in your inventory. This check for better items is also done for items that are created to fill up a slot after you have leveled or bought one of his items. Also note that this

works in Hellfire only. Sometimes you will see an item "violating" this rule in Hellfire, as the game only tries a specific number of times, and if it has not found an item that matches

in those tries it sticks with whatever item it generates next.

Pepin

Pepin has unlimited supply of Potions of Healing, Potions of Full Healing and scrolls of Resurrect (in multi player only). In addition to those, Pepin offers 7 to 14 random base items

with a qlvl in the range below. He will renew his inventory each time you come back up from the dungeons or reload the game in single player. Range of qlvl for base item: 1 to ilvl

Wirt

Wirt will only offer one item for sale and you have to pay 50 gold just to see it. The maximum qlvl of prefixes and suffixes is 60, which means he could theoretically sell any type of

item otherwise possible in the game (of the types listed in the table in chapter 3.9) if it were not for the price limit (see chapter 3.10). He offers items whose base item has a qlvl

in the range below. Range of qlvl for base item: 1 to ilvl The prefixes and suffixes are then chosen with a qlvl in the following range: Range of qlvl for prefixes and suffixes: ilvl to 2•ilvl

If lower limit is higher than 25, it is set to 25.
He seems to love items of ages. The reason for this is that there are not many suffixes of level 25 or above and most of them can exist on a very limited number of items or would

make items too expensive. He will renew the item only if you have bought the previous one and then gone into the dungeons or when you gain a new character level that is even. In Hellfire, Wirt will only sell certain item types to you depending on your character class. The table below summarizes what items he will sell to each character class. Wirt will, in

Hellfire, also try to offer you better (more expensive than 80% of your most expensive item) items than what you already have (both equipped ones and not equipped ones).

Class	Items never sold at Wirt in Hellfire
Paladin	bows and staves
Scout	axes, clubs, swords, staves and shields
Mage	axes, clubs, bows and staves
Monk	clubs, bows, shields and medium armor (see chapter 3.1 for definition of medium armor)
Assassin	axes, clubs and staves
Gladiator	bows and staves

General remarks on possible items

As can be seen in the wealth of information about items, finding out what items are really possible can be hard. In this chapter I will try to explain some simple ways of finding out if

that particular item you are looking for can really be found or bought. Let\’s go through what affects what items can really be found or bought in the game. Mostly the discussion will

be about prefixes and suffixes. Occurrence of prefix and suffix Most prefixes and suffixes can only exist on certain base items. This information can be found in chapter 3.3 and in summary in chapter 3.13.6. A quick look can rule out the possibility

of an item like an emerald ring. As the base item is determined by the modified for difficulty mlvl, there should be no restrictions on what base item a prefix or suffix can occur on

within a certain item type. That is, if it can occur on a dagger, it can also occur on a bastard sword. An exception to this is Griswold\’s premium items that have a lower limit of

ilvl/4 for the qlvl on base items. qlvl of prefix and suffix Just because both a prefix and a suffix can exist on a base item does not mean you can find them both on the same item. As explained in chapter 3.8, the qlvl of a prefix and a suffix

must be in the range of: ilvl/2 - ilvl: for non Wirt and Adria items, including items form the dungeons ilvl - 2•ilvl: for Wirt and Adria items Items from Adria only follow Wirt if they are staves without spells. From this it follows that the prefix or suffix with the lowest qlvl on an item can never be higher than half

(rounded down except for Wirt and some Adria items) the qlvl of the higher one (the other way around the higher level can never be higher than 2 times the lower one, plus one if odd,

(except for Wirt and some Adria items) the plus one due to rounding effects if the item does not come from Wirt or Adria). As noted in the same chapter the exception for this is that if

the highest limit of the qlvl is higher than 50 the lower limit is always 25. This rule can quickly rule out an item like obsidian shield of brilliance as impossible as the qlvl of the

prefix and suffix is 24 and 11. This only has importance if an item has both a prefix and a suffix. There are no restrictions on the relationship between the qlvl of the base item and the qlvl of any additional attributes of the item such as prefixes, suffixes, spells and uniques.

Thus, a godly cap of the whale is a completely valid item (you will only be able to buy it at Wirt though). Restrictions in the dungeon As explained in chapter 3.8, prefixes and suffixes are assigned to items based on a monsters unmodified mlvl. This means that no prefix or suffix with a qlvl higher than 30 (34 when a

unique monster drops it as they have a +4 bonus) can be found in the dungeons, except from Diablo and Na-Krul in Hellfire, which have a maximum limit of 45 and 44. This rules out quite

a few of the best prefixes and suffixes such as a godly plate of whale, even if they would be possible according to what was said above under occurrences and level differences.

Similarly, items from non monsters have a limit of 30 in Diablo and 34 in Hellfire (2•dlvl). Note, this is true for any version of Diablo, even 1.00. Wirt (but not Griswold) can still

sell those prefixes and suffixes impossible to find in the dungeons. Restrictions at Griswold and Adria The same restriction mentioned above for the dungeon also applies to Griswold and Adria. They will never sell you any item with a prefix or suffix with a qlvl higher than 30 (32 at

Adria). This again rules out the best prefixes and suffixes even if they would be possible according to what was said above under occurrences and qlvl differences. Restrictions on the price Even if an item would be possible according to anything that has been said above, when the item is sold in town it cannot be more expensive than the price maximum. This maximum is 140

000 (90 000 at Wirt) gold in Diablo and 200 000 gold in Hellfire (150 000 gold in version 1.00 of Hellfire). Any item more expensive than that will never be sold. This will also rule

out several items such as a merciless long war bow of heavens or an awesome full plate of the lion, especially at Wirt who could otherwise have sold any item that met the occurrence and

level requirements explained above. Note that the price of items at Wirt is capped before they are modified by 150% in Diablo and 75% in Hellfire. This makes the effective cap at

Wirt to be 135 000 in Diablo and 150 000 in Hellfire (112 500 in version 1.00 of Hellfire). This makes some items that are not available in Diablo available in Hellfire. On rare

occasions it seems that the price, at least in Hellfire, can be slightly higher than the cap. Other restrictions Just a few other words on what is possible and not. A unique item can only be of the base item listed in chapter 3.5. A Dreamflange can, for example, only be a mace and, nothing else. The difficulty you play on only affects the base item, but as a consequence of this some unique items are only findable on specific difficulties as both the qlvl of the base item and

the qlvl of the unique item have to be fulfilled for a monster to drop it. An example of this is the Helm of Sprits, which can only be found in nightmare and hell difficulty. I leave it

as an exercise to the reader to figure out why! As the highest qlvl of a base item is 25, any monster with an mlvl equal to that or above can drop the same items regardless of difficulty. This is true for almost all monsters in hell

and the Crypt. Thus item drops in hell and the Crypt should be the same regardless of difficulty. For other dungeons you will find better base items in harder difficulty levels, but it

should not affect what prefixes and suffixes you find. What affects item creation As can be seen from the information in chapter 3, the only things that affect what items one can find in the dungeon and can buy in town are the mlvl and dlvl in dungeons and the clvl

(or dlvl visited in single player) in town. Thus, item creation is not affected by anything else. There is no influence caused by what you are carrying (except in Hellfire for

Griswold\’s and Wirt\’s items), your character class, what items you use, who created the game, or other similar things. The only thing that will affect the creation is the initial seed

used by the game in generating random numbers, and in both Diablo and Hellfire, the initial seed is generated out of the time when the game is created (and for items in town, the time

when you shop; this is to avoid the chance that all players in the game see the same items, as they would then be treated by the game as duplicates).

Probabilities of finding unique items

As with all other items in the game with the exception of quest related items, which only exists in single player, unique items are created randomly by the game. In the table below are

shown the rarity of all the unique items. The values have been calculated taking into account all the relevant information and formulas found in this Guide as well as all of the

following:

You would have to kill all monsters, break all barrels, open all chests and so on.
Each monster is modeled with the probabilities found in chapter 5.3.2.
There are assumed to exist 185 monsters on all levels with the exception of level 1 and 2 that are a bit smaller and thus has a somewhat less monsters.
On appropriate levels, the following number of item sources have been assumed (usually the average number of them on each level): 7 small chests, 4 chests, 2.5 large chests, 5 patches

of 6 barrels, 14.5 sarcophagus and 3.5 decapitated bodies. For the calculations it does not matter if the numbers are decimals instead of integers.

For various reasons, mostly due to the difficulties in making good estimates of the frequencies, no considerations have been made to those items sometimes appearing directly on the

ground or appearing on weapon or armor racks. This should not affect the final probabilities much though. If anyone has any more information on the frequencies of them, please feel free

to tell me.

The values are only valid for multi player. In single player some quest monsters will drop a quest item instead of a random magical item. Also, dungeon levels normally has less

monsters than in single player. Finally, unique items are picked slightly different in single player than multi player meaning some of the unique items marked as Impossible ones,

actually has a very small chance of appearing in a single player game (but very small, typically square the number for the uniques being second in the order and raise it to the power of

three for the third one in the list. For the drop order of such unique items, see chapter 3.5.2. It is my belief that the values should be more or less accurate for single player as

well though. The value given is an estimate of how many games it takes on average to find a specific unique. To find the probability of a specific unique to exist in a game, simply divide 1 by the

number given. Given are also numbers telling on what dlvl the unique item has the highest overall chance (includes all sources) to be found. It is very important to realize that the

number given here are necessarily not the same as the typical player will find. A typical player will for example not play in all areas equally much. Also, even though the chances

are over all greater for monsters than for unique monsters, you need to kill a lot more of them. So if you are hunting for specific unique items, it is normally a much faster method to

kill, say only bosses on level 13-15 than killing all monsters on the same levels. Never the less, the numbers below should give a rough estimate on how rare or common a specific unique

item is. If an item is impossible to generate for some reason, it will say "impossible".

Probabilities in Hellfire

The reason most unique items are more likely in a Hellfire game than in a Diablo game is of course due to the fact that a Hellfire game has two additional dungeons with lots of more

monsters and other sources for items.

Probabilities of finding magical items

It would of course be possible to do similar tables for magical items, as for unique items. However, due to the almost infinite number of possible magical items as well as severe

problems to do any probabilities for such items that are sold in town (especially in Hellfire), it is my decision to not have any such information in this guide.

Summary of various item properties

This chapter summarizes various properties of items and lets you review them without being confused by other non related properties. All data below can of course be found in the

complete tables in chapter 3.1 - 3.5. To make it as convenient as possible, I have tried to have each summary on its own page or opening.

=== Levels of base items=== Below is a list of all the base items in the game. It has been divided into two different tables: equipable items (excluding jewelry) and other items. The items are sorted by their

=== Levels of spells on books and staves=== When spells are attached to books and staves (they never exist on scrolls as each scroll is a separate base item), they also have a qlvl, and that differs between books and staves.

Below are listed the qlvl for both types sorted in qlvl order.

1 Works for all type of damage, even from spells, but does not work against other players. The damage is reduced before any resistance is applied but after the thieves effect. The

damage will never be reduced below 1. 2 The amount is based on damage done even if the monster has less HP left. Note that two items of life stealing, or two items of mana stealing are not cumulative with each other.

An item of blood/vampire will take precedence over an item one of the leech/the bat. ). An exception is The Undead Crown which is cumulative with both an item of blood or an item of the

leech for a total of 3% to 15.5% or 5% to 17.5% life stealing. The Helm of Sprits, Shadowhawk, and The Eater of Souls are treated as items of blood. The Eater of Souls are treated as an

item of vampire. Does not work against players. See chapter 6.1.4 for more information. 3 Only available in Hellfire.

1 Is treated by the game as a cursed item during item creation so you will, for example, not be able to buy it in town. 2 Only available in Hellfire. 3 Has a 5% chance of duplicating any monster hit except Diablo and unique monsters. 4 Bonus decreases by 5% each hit. When reaching -100%, the item is destroyed. 5 Also has from -30 to -70% lower durability. 6 There is a minimum increase of 1 in AC. That is, even if the percentage will give an increase to AC less than one, it will be increased by at least one. Due to a bug, any

decrease in AC less than 1 will be transformed into a positive increase by 1.

1 Is applied after any effects from thieves and -damage. It can reduce damage below 1.

+ Fire Damage1	+ Lightning Damage1	Damage / Penet. Armor2	 Charges
flame 1 - 3	shock 1 - 6	piercing 2 - 6 / 25⁴ %	plentiful 2

flaming³ 1 - 10	lightning³ 2 - 20	bashing 8 - 24 / 75⁴ %
burning 1 - 16	thunder 1 - 20

1 There are quite a few bugs associated with fire and lightning arrows which make them often deal erroneous damage (way too high or no additional damage at all). 2 In Diablo these suffixes lower the AC of the target by a specific random amount in the range shown in the table. In Hellfire they reduce the AC of the target by a certain

percentage shown in the table. It does not work against players. The exact value (in Diablo) is determined at the time of creation of the item and the extra To Hit is never shown on the

character screen. 3 A prefix on non bow weapons. All others are suffixes on bows only. 4 Add 12.5 when used by a Gladiator.

+% Light Radius1	Weapon Speed2	Hit Recovery3	+% Durability

	haste⁶ fastest		many⁷ 100

			the ages indestructible

1 Also affects the distance at which you activate monsters. A higher value means at a greater distance. There is no additional effect of wearing more than +50% or less than -80%

light radius. As a curiosity, the light radius is always one square less in the catacombs and it is always the highest light radius you have had on a level that counts, even if you

later lower it. 2 A Assassin only benefits from the fastest weapon. 3 A character only benefits from the fastest one, as they are not cumulative. The exception is if you have one of each in which case you will, in Diablo only, receive a further

reduction in hit recovery time. See chapter 2.2.1 for more information. 4 Has no effect in Diablo. 5 In Hellfire, it makes the arrows travel faster on bows instead of decreasing the "swing" speed. 6 Has the same effect as speed despite what is said in the latest Diablo patch (1.07). 7 Suffix for bows only. All others are suffixes for non bow weapons.

Other Prefixes/Suffixes	Magical Effect
the bear²	knocks target back

jester\’s^1,2,4,5,7	each swing do 0-6 damage⁹
peril^1,2,4,6,8	2 damage to monster, 1 damage to user

1 Does not work versus players. 2 These effects are not cumulative if you have them more than once. They are cumulative with other effects though. 3 In Hellfire it also absorbs half arrow and magical damage (magic, fire, lightning and apocalypse) from monster attacks. It is applied before both -damage and resistance. 4 Only available in Hellfire. 5 Damage bonus applies to total damage, not just weapon damage. 6 Does not work on bows. 7 A prefix. 8 Affects total damage versus monsters but only weapon damage and character damage versus user. This damage is modified by any -damage from enemies, though. 9 The game erroneously states it does 0-5. Average value is 2. For more details, see chapter 6.2.1. Does not work against Diablo or unique monsters.
