Armor Appearance

This page displays every type of character armor found in Diablo II. There are subtle differences between every kind, even the various plate armors that look identical. They usually have some difference in the shoulder pad or sleeve.

Armor Appearance

Armors found in-game may vary by color, since certain affixes add palette shifts, but the basic graphics never change.

• Armor weight can confer a speed penalty:
  • Light armor → No running speed/stamina penalty

Armor Appearance: Diablo II: Resurrected

The appearance of the armor depends on its base type (Ancient Armor, Dusk Shroud, etc).

Certain armor affixes can also change the color of the armor, but not the overall shape.
