Unique Body Armor

To Note

Good armor is perhaps the single most important of piece of equipment your character will equip, so finding the right one is very important. If you luck into one of these Unique armors, you'll likely wear it for quite some time, since the array of modifiers is wider than you are likely to find with any mere magical armor. Only the need for a much higher Defense Rating usually pushes players to upgrade their armor.

A few unique items have changed with the release of the 1.10 Patch. All new unique items found will have the same stats as the ones in the table below, items found in 1.09 or earlier may have slightly different stats. Items that have had changes will marked with a * and the change will be listed under the table.

• In 1.10 of the Expansion the odds of gambling a Unique is 1 in 2000.
• Clvl Req: A character must be this level to equip the item. No uniques had Clvl requirements prior to v1.07 Diablo II.
• Item Level: Monsters must be of this level to drop a particular item.
• Light Armor: No stamina or speed penalties.
• Medium Armor: 5% stamina drain and speed penalty.
• Heavy Armor: 10% stamina drain and speed penalty.

Elite

Elite items exist only in the Expansion, and have the highest defense, damage, and requirements in the game. There are only a few Unique Elite items, generally just one or two per item type, and many types of items have no Elite Uniques at all. Blizzard North might add more in future patches, however.
