Form a hierarchy, so a particular item type is also considered of its supertypes. For example, an amazon bow is a bow so can roll bow affixes and be used as a base for bow runewords (unless the subtype is explicitly excluded - that's why many melee affixes cannot be rolled on staves and wands). Item types can have multiple supertypes, so the hierarchy is not a simple tree. For example, a combo weapon is both a melee weapon and a thrown weapon. Items can also have multiple item types. For example, a Flawed Amethyst is both a Flawed Gem and an Amethyst. Base stats for individual armor and weapons can be found on separate item type pages. Hierarchy of item types.
