→Armor Graphics
|}
As for special items, most [[Uniques]] have unique artwork. [[Rare]]s and [[Set]] items mostly use the normal item graphics with some palette shifts. Many other [[Magic]]al items have very different looks due to palette shifting, caused by modifiers or gems. [[Gems#Skulls|Skull ]] [[gems]] in an item will make it appear black or dark gray, while [[Gems#Rubies|rubies]] make items red, [[Gems#Emeralds|emeralds]] green, etc. Items with "of the light" suffixes are usually golden and almost glowing.
There is a "one size fits all" aspect to equipment, which is necessary, since having five different types of every armor in the game would be annoying and item variety overkill. The silver platemail that the Paladin wears does not look the same on the Amazon, since when she equips the same item, it will reshape itself to her curves and transform into the golden tones that she favors. And a Barbarian can wear the same armor and it will appear in his darker brown and black colors, and fit his much more massive frame.
