While Diablo 2 belts provide some additional Armor Class, and also potential magical modifiers, their greatest benefit is the additional slots they provide for quick potion access. The player starts with a minimum four slots, but each new level of belt provides an additional four slots, up to a maximum of sixteen. Magical belts can have very good resistances and bonuses to stats, as well as fastest hit recovery.
- Characters have a 4-slot belt intrinsically.
- Item Level: A monster’s Mlvl must be higher than the Ilvl of an item or affix for that monster to drop it.
- Clvl Req: A character must be this level or higher to equip this item.
- All belts take up 2×1 spaces in the Inventory.
