For the empowered monsters, see Elites.

Elite Items are items in Diablo II that have far better stats, and higher level / attribute requirements, than Normal and Exceptional items. Each type of Elite item shares the same appearance and icon in the interface as an Exceptional and a Normal item, but with different names. They only appear in the Lord of Destruction expansion.

Monsters in Act IV Nightmare start to drop low quality elite items, but as soon as you progress to Act V Nightmare or Act I Hell, you will find better Elite items. Nightmare Diablo and Nightmare Baal might drop better elite items than the ordinary mobs over the Act IV area. The drop rate of Elite items is much less than that of Normal / Exceptional items, even on higher levels. Elite items are often farmed for by players who seek to complete powerful Rune Words.

All Elite belts have 16 belt slots / "boxes" (4 rows), regardless of the lower number that the Normal equivalent has.
