Unique Items are by far the most sought-after, possessing many magical properties that no Magical, Rare, or Crafted Item has. There is one Unique item for nearly every type of weapon and armor in the game. Unique items are denoted by their names being colored gold.

Unique Item Appearance LimitEdit

In earlier versions of Diablo 2, if any player in a game had a certain Unique item in their possession, the game would not generate another of it. However, this limitation was revised with one of the patches to the game. Now, it is possible for the game to generate a Unique item even if someone in the game has it already. But it will not appear more than once in a single play.

Level RequirementsEdit

In Classic Diablo 2, Unique items have no experience level requirements. In Lord of Destruction, these items do have determined level requirements, to prevent players from twinking characters with low levels but high stats. Also, Exceptional and Elite Uniques each have higher level requirements than their Normal counterparts. Exceptional and Elite Uniques do not appear in Classic Diablo 2.

Elite UniquesEdit

Elite Unique items are somewhat sparse. There are weapon and armor classes that don't have a Unique for every type. For instance, there is no Unique Hydra Edge (Elite Falchion) or Conquest Sword (Elite Broad Sword). However, there are classes of equipment that actually have two Unique items of the same type! There are two Unique Phase Blades (Elite Crystal Sword), Lightsabre and Azurewrath. There are two Unique Scourges (Elite Flail), Horizon's Tornado and Stormlash. There are even two Unique Thunder Mauls (Elite Great Maul), The Cranium Basher and Earth Shifter.

Diablo 1 Item ReprisesEdit

The reason for some of these instances of two Unique Elite items of the same type is because early in the release of LoD, Blizzard added Unique Elite weapons and armor that were based on the most famous Unique items in the original Diablo, such as The Cranium Basher maul, Windforce bow, and The Grandfather two-handed sword. Later on, new Elite Unique items were added, and a few of them were of the same types as the returning items from Diablo 1.
