[[Exceptional ]] and Elite items are identical to normal items of every type, except that their base stats are raised across the board. [[Elite]] items, added in D2X, form a third tier of every type of item, and are found in late Nightmare and then throughout Hell.
The creation of Exceptional and Elite items allowed the game designers to effectively double, and then triple, the number of base items in the game, and since there were unique items of every type, plus numerous [[item sets]] that included exceptional and elite items, the item game was hugely extended.
