Dungeon Siege 3: Item Color

Question

I've found various colored items in Dungeon Siege 3, I assume they denote some sort of rarity scale. Does anyone have a list of these various item types/ranks that can be found?

Answer 1

There are three colors corresponding to randomly generated loot:

• White: common
• Green: uncommon
• Blue: rare

Generally, the rarer the item, the better attributes it has.

There's an additional color, orange/brown, which corresponds to artifacts. Artifacts are unique items that are not randomly generated: they always have the same statistics and are always located in the same place.
