Loot Rarities Explained

In Diablo 4, there are a total of 5 different loot rarities:

Common, Magic, Rare, and Legendary drop across all tiers with Uniques dropping exclusively in World Tier 3 and World Tier 4. There are some key differences between each loot rarity as well.

Common, Magic, and Rare gear drop commonly throughout your adventure, but you won't start seeing Legendary gear until you're around level 20, and then they'll begin to drop. They appear as Orange Stars on your minimap, glow on the overworld, and make a loud dinging sound when dropped. They're also dropped off in your stash in case you miss one!

Loot Tiers Explained

As you reach the end of the Diablo 4 campaign, you may have noticed some tooltips indicating Sacred and Ancestral Gear. This is an additional tier on top of your pre-existing loot rarity. They're not an additional rarity, but rather an extension of the pre-existing rarity. You won't start seeing Sacred until World Tier 3 and Ancestral until World Tier 4.

These Tiers simply offer increased stats and can affect gear of all rarities. They also scale closer to your level. A Sacred Piece and an Ancestral Piece of the same level will have different stats, with the Ancestral Piece being much stronger.
