    diablo 4 affixes affix list explained

    Every item and weapon in your equipped gear has an affix in Diablo 4. As you fight the monstrosities laid down by Lilith, these affixes offer a plethora of buffs. Some affixes can also offer you resistance to certain types of damage and enemies. While you can also modify them, these affixes appear depending on the rarity of your items and weapons. But what are item affixes in Diablo 4? And how do they work? Don’t fret, check out our guide that explains what is an Affix with a full list of all item Affixes for your gear.

    What are Item Affixes in Diablo 4 (Explained)

    diablo 4 affixes affix list explained

    Item Affixes in Diablo 4 are the special unique buffs or properties that are randomly rolled with your gear items. The number of these affixes differs according to the rarity type of your gear items. While the Normal rarity rolls with no affixes, the rest can have affixes within a range of 1 to 5. Note that some affixes are limited to only specific classes.

    So, here’s the number of affixes you can have according to your item gear rarity:

    • Normal: 0 (By default)
      • Tradeable: Yes
    • Magic: 1
      • Tradeable: Yes
    • Rare: 3
      • Tradeable: Yes
    • Legendary: 5 (1 Legendary affix)
      • Tradeable: No
    • Unique: 5 (1 Unique affix)
      • Tradeable: No

    If you want to modify an affix in Diablo 4 applied to your gear item, head to an Occultist or other crafting systems. The tiers of any rolled affixes vary according to the rarity of your gear in Diablo 4.

    So, here are all tiers of Affixes:

    • Regular Affixes
    • Unique Affixes (Denoted by a star icon)
    • Legendary Affixes (Denoted by a star icon)

    But what are the affixes offered within these tiers? Let’s break down the above tiers with a list of every Affix in Diablo 4:
