→Legendary Drop Rates
==Legendary Drop Rates==
Legendary drop rates as of v2[[Patch 2.0.5 ]] Reaper of Souls and Diablo 3. The increase is 15% per difficulty level above Torment 1; the actual numbers are larger than 15% since it is a cumulative bonus and is factored into the overall legendary drop rate equation. These figures are no longer accurate, since the D3Y2 buff was made permanent. We do not yet know the exact new figures, but add +100% to everything, at a minimum. See details below:
* Normal: 0% Legendary drop bonus, 25% bonus in [[Nephalem Rift]]s.
* Torment 5: +101% Legendary drop bonus, +151% bonus in Nephalem Rifts.
* Torment 6: +131% Legendary drop bonus, +189% bonus in Nephalem Rifts.

These numbers were increased by a special community buff during Diablo 3's week-long Second Anniversary event. The buff added +100% to legendary drop rate, though Blizzard declined to explain just what that meant, and where in the item drop formula the 100% fit.
Due to popular request, Blizzard decided to make the +100% buff rate the new normal drop rate for legendaries, once the community event ended. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/anniversay-buff-permanent]
<blue>Josh Mosquera: I come bearing exciting news. Due to the overwhelming popularity of our Anniversary buff we have decided to keep the increased Legendary drop rate once the Anniversary celebration ends. Once the buff is disabled tomorrow morning, you will find that the new base line drop rates for Legendary items will be the same as those you have all enjoyed for the last week.</blue>
