From Diablo Wiki

This page lists all the prefixes and suffixes found in Diablo and Hellfire.

Prefixes and Suffixes [ edit ]

All Prefixes and Suffixes are listed on this page, sorted by their effect.

There are no rare items in Diablo or Hellfire, just magical, so no item (but Uniques) can have more than two properties:, a single prefix and/or a suffix.

All modifiers are somewhat limited in the types of items they may occur on. These are listed in the tables, by the following key:

A = Armor or Helms

= Armor or Helms S = Shields

= Shields W = Weapons (Axes, Clubs, and Swords)

= Weapons (Axes, Clubs, and Swords) T = Staffs

= Staffs t = Staffs (in Hellfire , but not Diablo )

= Staffs (in , but not ) B = Bows

= Bows J = Jewelry

The values for base-max, and multiplier are used in complicated calculations to determine item cost, repair cost, recharge cost, and so forth. These formulas are too technical for most players to bother with, so they are not reproduced on this page. Consult Jarulf's Guide, section 3.6, if you wish to delve into them.

Sharp is bugged in that the game treats it like a cursed item and therefore NPCs will never sell it.

Doppleganger is found only in Hellfire. It has a 10% chance of duplicating any regular monster. Does not work on bosses.

Decay and Crystalline are only found in Hellfire.

Decay: Bonus decreases 5% each hit. When it reaches -100% the item is destroyed.

Crystalline: Item has -30 to -70% lower durability

Other Effects [ edit ]

Prefix Value Occurrence qlvl Base-Max Multiplier jester's 1,2,3,4,5 each swing does x0-6 dmg 6 --W--- 7 1200 3

Does not work versus players. These effects are not cumulative if you have them more than once. They are cumulative with other effects though. Only available in Hellfire. Damage bonus applies to total damage, not just weapon damage. A prefix. The game erroneously states it does ×0-5. Average value is x2. Does not work against Diablo or unique monsters.

+% Light Radius [ edit ]

Your character's light radius determines how far away monsters must be to become aware of you. Sorcerers generally want a large light radius, so they'll see targets coming far enough away to hit them with spells, but Warriors and other melee fighters can be more effective with a lower radius, since that means fewer monsters will see them at once.

Stealth mode: One technique is to play melee fighters with -80% light radius, in what's called "stealth mode." This, especially when paired with Infravision, allows players to advance almost into melee range of monsters before they become aware of you. In stealth mode it's possible to clear large open rooms one or two monsters at a time, since only the one(s) you're right beside will activate.

' Maximum values: +50% or -80%. More than +50% or less than -80% has no additional effect.

+50% or -80%. More than +50% or less than -80% has no additional effect. A character's light radius is always one square less in the catacombs than in the other parts of the Labyrinth.

Light radius change bug: A character's light radius is fixed to the highest value it has been has on a given level.

Suffix Value Occurrence qlvl Base-Max Multiplier of the dark -40 A-W--J 6 -- -3 of the night -20 A-W--J 3 -- -2 of light 20 A-W--J 4 750 2 of radiance 40 A-W--J 8 1500 3





% Steal Life [ edit ]

Unlike in Diablo II, life and mana leech is very hard to come by in Diablo and Hellfire. It's found almost exclusively as a magical melee weapon suffix. Life leech modifiers never occur on bows, and it's not possible to leech life or mana using a bow, even if the leech comes from another item.

Suffix Value Occurrence qlvl Base-Max Multiplier of the leech 3 --W--- 8 7500 3 of blood 5 --W--- 19 15000 3

The amount is based on damage done even if the monster has less HP left. The amount is not cumulative if you have more than one item with the capability of stealing life (an item of blood will take precedence over an item of the leech). An exception is The Undead Crown which is cumulative with both an item of blood or an item of the leech for a total of 3% to 15.5% or 5% to 17.5% life stealing. The Helm of Sprits, Shadowhawk, and The Eater of Souls are all treated as items of blood. Does not work against players.





% Steal Mana [ edit ]

Unlike in Diablo II, life and mana leech is very hard to come by in Diablo and Hellfire. It's found almost exclusively as a magical melee weapon suffix. Mana leech modifiers never occur on bows, and it's not possible to leech life or mana while using a bow, even if the leech comes from another item.

Suffix Value Occurrence qlvl Base-Max Multiplier of the bat 3 --W--- 8 7500 3 of vampires 5 --W--- 19 15000 3

The amount is based on damage done even if the monster has less HP left. The amount is not cumulative if you have more than one item with the capability of stealing mana (an item of vampires will take precedence over an item of the bat. The Eater of Souls is treated as an item of vampire. Does not work against players.





Damages Target's Armor [ edit ]

Lowers the target's AC, making the monster easier to hit.

Suffix Diablo Value:

Lowers AC by: Hellfire Value:

Lowers AC by: Occurrence qlvl Base-Max Multiplier of piercing 2 - 6 25% --W-B- 1 1000 3 of puncturing 4 - 12 50% --W-B- 9 2000 6 of bashing 8 - 24 75% --W--- 17 4000 12

In Diablo the target's AC is lowered by a random number from within the range listed. The value is determined at the time of the item's creation, and is not reflected in the character screen.

In Hellfire the target's AC is lowered by the listed %. Add 12.5% when used by a Barbarian.







Fire Arrows Damage [ edit ]

There are numerous bugs tied to fire and lightning damage arrows. Their added damage may be far too high or negligible.

Suffix Value Occurrence qlvl Base-Max Multiplier of flame 1-3 ----B- 1 2000 2 of fire 1-6 ----B- 11 4000 4 of burning 1-16 ----B- 35 6000 6





Lightning Arrows Damage [ edit ]

There are numerous bugs tied to fire and lightning damage arrows. Their added damage may be far too high or negligible.

Suffix Value Occurrence qlvl Base-Max Multiplier of shock 1-6 ----B- 13 6000 2 of lightning 1-10 ----B- 21 8000 4 of thunder 1-20 ----B- 60 12000 6





Reduces Damage Taken [ edit ]

These bonuses are applied to all types of damage from monsters and traps, including spells, but does not work in PvP.

Damage is reduced before any resistance is applied, but after the "of thieves" effect (50% damage from traps.)

Damage is never reduced below 1.

Suffix Value Occurrence qlvl Base-Max Multiplier of pain +4 - +2 AS---J 4 -- -4 of tears +1 AS---J 2 -- -2 of health 1 AS---J 2 200 2 of protection 2 AS---- 6 400 4 of absorption 3 AS---- 12 1001 10 of deflection 4 A----- 20 2500 15 of osmosis 5 - 6 A----- 50 7500-10000 20





Attack Speed [ edit ]

Suffix Value Occurrence qlvl Base-Max Multiplier of readiness quick --WTB- 1 2000 2 of swiftness fast --WTB- 10 4000 4 of speed faster --WT-- 19 8000 8 of haste fastest --WT-- 27 16000 16

Readiness is bugged and has no effect in Diablo.

Readiness and Swiftness in Hellfire make the arrows move faster, instead of increasing the firing rate. (This mildly increases the To Hit on distant targets, but is of very little value.)

Speed and Haste give the same benefit in Diablo (despite the v1.07 patch claiming that Haste was faster, as it's meant to be).

Bards only benefit from their faster weapon when dual wielding.





Hit Recovery [ edit ]

Suffix Value Occurrence qlvl Base-Max Multiplier of balance fast A----J 1 2000 2 of stability faster A----J 10 4000 4 of harmony fastest A----J 20 8000 8

A character with more than one such item only benefits from the fastest one. They do not add up or stack. There is one exception; if a character in Diablo (but not Hellfire) wears at least one of each, then their hit recovery will be .05 faster than "of harmony" alone. See the Character page for details and times.







Other Effects [ edit ]

Suffix Value Occurrence qlvl Base-Max Multiplier of blocking 2 fast block -S---- 5 4000 4 of corruption user loses all mana ASW--- 5 -1000 2 of the bear 2 knocks target back --WTB- 5 750 2 of thieves 1,2,3 absorbs 1/2 trap dmg AS---J 11 1500 2 of thorns 1,2 attacker takes 1-3 damage AS---- 1 500 2 of devastation 1,2,4,5,6 5% chance of doing 3x dmg --WtB- 1 1200 3 of peril 1,2,4,6,7 x2 damage to monster

x1 damage to user --WtB- 5 500 1

Does not work versus players. These effects are not cumulative if you have them more than once. They are cumulative with other effects though. In Hellfire it also absorbs half arrow and magical damage (magic, fire, lightning and apocalypse) from monster attacks. It is applied before both -damage and resistance. Only available in Hellfire. Damage bonus applies to total damage, not just weapon damage. Does not work on bows. Affects total damage versus monsters but only weapon damage and character damage versus user. This damage is modified by any -damage from enemies, though.
