In Diablo II Classic, rare items were potentially some of the best items in the game. Each rare item may only have a single Socket. However, a prefix and a suffix with the same effect are possible. This means you can't get two prefixes or two suffixes that do the same thing on one item. A Rare item cannot have more than one prefix or suffix from the same group (a set of prefixes or suffixes that have the same effect, in progressively larger amounts). A single prefix or suffix can't be picked more than once. ( Jewels can only have two of each, instead of three). One Rare item can't have more than 3 prefixes or 3 suffixes. However, it randomly picks each one, with a 50/50 chance of it being a prefix or a suffix. Some Rare items can also be found Socketed upon Identifying them if they receive the Mechanic's prefix. Affixes are selected by the game for Rare items in the same manner as Magic items. Note that it has seven attributes, this is because one of its suffixes is Light which boosts light radius and attack rating.
