'''Rare Items''' are an [[item]] quality tier above [[Magic Items]] and below [[Unique Items|Unique]], [[Set Items|Set]] and [[Legendary Items|Legendary]] items. Rare items are denoted by a yellow-colored name.

Like Magic Items, Rares have randomly selected magical attributes, but whereas Magic items generally have only one or two, Rare items have much more; up to 6 in some games. They are the highest tier where item attributes are completely randomized, even the name. Unlike Magic items, the name has no relationship to its attributes - the two words of the name instead come from a pool of possibilities determined by the item's type. 

== Diablo II ==

Rares in ''[[Diablo II]]'' can have 2 to 6 affixes. Affixes are selected by the game for Rare items in the same manner as Magic items. However, it randomly picks each one, with a 50/50 chance of it being a [[prefix]] or a [[suffix]]. One Rare item can't have more than 3 prefixes or 3 suffixes. ([[Jewels]] can only have two of each, instead of three). A single prefix or suffix can't be picked more than once. 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). This means you can't get two prefixes or two suffixes that do the same thing on one item. However, a prefix ''and'' a suffix with the same effect are possible.

Some Rare items can also be found [[socketed]] upon [[identify]]ing them if they receive the [[Mechanic's]] prefix. [[Larzuk]] can also add a socket to a Rare. By either means, each Rare item may only have a single socket.

In ''Diablo II'' Classic, rare items were potentially some of the best items in the game. They are often overshadowed in the expansion due to the variety of powerful [[Rune Words]] and [[Unique Items]], but particularly good rares can often compete with the best Uniques. 

== Diablo III ==
[[File:D3HeftMyth.jpg|thumb|182px|A rare item in Diablo III]]
Rares in the [[Diablo III|third game]] can have four to six magical properties (four primary and two secondary at maximum), except that the extra damage or attack speed bonus guaranteed on [[off-hand]] items does not count against the total. Being [[socket]]ed takes up one primary property, as with any other item quality in the game. Individual stat values at maximum level are in the same range as Magic Items, but lower than the range for [[Legendary Items]]. Rares are also not eligible to be [[Ancient Legendary|Ancient]], a special upgrade which improves most item stats, but is only available to Legendary tier items.

Although these items are rare at low character levels, as the name implies, they become more common as the player progresses. Rares are actually the most common item quality found when at the highest character level. 

[[Salvage]] awards one [[Veiled Crystal]] from each Rare item.

Items of rare or lower quality do not require [[Identify|identification]]; all their properties are immediately visible and usable when they drop. Originally, they required identification like in the previous game, but with the evolution of itemization to make rares less significant at maximum level, and Legendary items easier to obtain, this was removed in [[Patch 2.0.1 (Diablo III)|Patch 2.0.1]].

== Diablo Immortal ==
