===Nightscape===
 +
[[Image:D1-u-nightscape.gif|frame]]
 +
Not one of the more popular unique armors. The severe light radius reduction can be helpful for melee fighters who do not wish to activate very many monsters at once, but the very low AC doesn't work well with that style of character.

 +
 +
===Arkaine's Valor===
 +
[[Image:D1-u-arkaines-valor.gif|frame]]
 +
Arkaine's Valor can only be found in single player, as the reward for completing the [[Arkaine's Valor]] quest. It's extremely useful at that point, because it is virtually guaranteed to be a considerable upgrade over any armor found to that point in the game. The usefulness of this armor declines as your character moves deeper into the labyrinth, since the AC isn't very high, but it's not uncommon for low strength characters toy wear it all the way through normal difficulty and beyond.
 +
 +
Even if wearing it isn't your desire, it's still quite a nice item to obtain, with a selling price over 10,000 gold.
 +
 +
* Arkaine's Valor
 +
* (Ring Mail)
 +
* Armor Class: 25
 +
* +10 to Vitality
 +
* -3 Damage from enemies
 +

* Durability: 40

 +
* Availability: Single player only.<br>
 +
 +
 +
===Scavenger Carapace===
 +
[[Image:D1-u-scavengers-carapace.gif|frame]]
 +
An unimposing item, but the -15 damage makes it extremely useful during the early and mid-game, before monsters hit for very high damage. Characters do not actually heal from damage that does less than 15 points, but this item, especially when paired with a few other -damage items, can make crowds of fast hitting monsters entirely irrelevant. Reducing damage makes it less likely your character will be stunned, too.
 +
 +
In multiplayer this item is bugged. Equip it, drop it, and pick it back up to see the AC increase to almost the maximum possible value of 250.
 +
 +
* Scavenger Carapace
 +
* (Breastplate)
 +
* Armor Class: 6-10 (bugged, can be 250)
 +

* Requirements: 40 str
 +
* Durability: 80

 +
* Availability: SP and MP.<br>
 +

===Sparkling Mail===
 +
[[Image:D1-u-sparkling-mail.gif|frame]]
 +
One of the few non-weapons that add weapon damage in Diablo or Hellfire. The 1-10 lightning damage can be important, especially early in the game.
 +
 +
* Sparkling Mail
 +
* (Chain Mail)
 +

* Availability: SP and MP.<br>
 +
 +
 +
===Naj's Light Plate===
 +
[[Image:D1-u-najs-plate.gif|frame]]
 +
Probably the most useful of the unique armors, this one is popular with Sorcerers (especially Artillery Mages) or other players playing in mage mode. It's very low defense makes it dangerous to use if there will be any close range combat, though.
 +
 +
* Naj's Light Plate
 +
* (Plate Mail)
 +
* Armor Class: 48
 +
* +5 to Magic
 +
* +20 Mana

===Demonspike Coat==
 +
[[Image:D1-a-full-plate-mail.gif|frame]]
 +
This armor has nice stats, but the overall AC is far too low for it to be a viable choice on Hell difficulty.
 +
 +
Due to a bug in the [[Diablo_Uniques#Unfindable_Unique_Items|item generation mechanism]] this armor is unfindable in MP in Hellfire, and is virtually impossible to find in singleplayer.

* Availability: SP and MP.

==Hellfire Unique Armor==
 +
 +
All of the Diablo unique armor can be found in Hellfire as well. The below armors can only be found in Hellfire. In theory, at least. Two of them can't be found at all, due to a bug in the item generation.
 +
 +
===Bone Chain===
 +
[[Image:D1-u-bone-chain.gif|frame]]
 +
A useful mid-level armor, though it's rather limited in the bonus stats. The AC bonus against the Undead is a nice touch, but it's not enough to make this a viable late game armor, especially since there are no undead in hell and only a few in the crypt.
 +

High defense against demons, who are virtually all the monsters you see in the hell levels leading up to Diablo.  Due to a bug in the [[Diablo_Uniques#Unfindable_Unique_Items|item generation mechanism]], this is the only unique Full Plate Mail that can be be found in multiplayer Hellfire.
