Enemies, officers, champions, chests and bosses drop gear in five colours. Walk over an item to pick it up, then drag it onto your hero in the inventory (I). Hover any item to compare it with what you wear and see every stat change.
Item colours
Normal (white): base stats only. Sell them for gold.
Magic (blue): 1 or 2 random affixes, like more damage, life or faster skills.
Rare (gold): 3 to 5 random affixes and a random name.
Set (green): fixed stats, plus bonuses for wearing several pieces of the same set.
Unique (tan): fixed names and powerful fixed stats, often with +skills.
Equipment slots
Weapon, helm, armor, gloves, belt, boots, an amulet and two rings. Jade tokens and tiger tallies are charms: they work from the backpack. Weapons belong to one weapon type, so each hero can only wield their own kind.
Magic find
Magic find raises your chance of blue, gold, green and unique drops. Like in Diablo II, its effect on the rarest colours grows more slowly the more you stack.
