Item rarity colors
Common is white, uncommon is green, rare is blue, and epic is purple. Legendary, from the forge, is gold-orange.
What the pages agree on
Shiny gear adds 50 percent. Golden gear adds 100 percent. Item level is the sum of every piece that champion owns, including duplicates. The FAQ is the source for the four basic colors. The forge page is the source for legendary. I do not have drop rates, so this page is a color key and an item-level definition, not a probability table.
Potion rarities use the same color words. A purple hunter potion is epic. A white Giant's Strength is the small one. Item level still adds duplicates after the color is upgraded. A golden epic on Minsc and a shiny common on the same champion both feed that sum. Arkhan's duplicate blues count too.
