Horadric Caches (AKA "goodie bags") are awarded by [[Tyrael]] for completing all 5 randomly-selected [[bounties]] in one each Act. This feature is only available in [[Reaper of Souls]], and only in [[Adventure Mode]]. These "goodie bags" are much sought after since they have a chance to drop some special legendary items that can not be obtained any other way. The most popular is the Ring of Royal Grandeur, which drops only from Act One Horadric Caches, and ways to fix the prevalence of players endlessly farming Act One just for that item makes for spirited debates.<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/fixing-ring-royal-grandeur Fixing the Ring or Royal Grandeur] - Diablo.IncGamers.com survey, 03/01/2015</ref>

Each Horadric Cache contains a semi-random assortment The legendary items from Caches are grouped by Act, with the full list below. Early in Reaper of crafting [[materials]]Souls the best strategy was to harvest as many caches as possible, which led to the rise of [[gemssplit farming]], Nephalem in Normal difficulty. A later patch largely ended split farming (at least on Normal difficulty) by boosting the chances of a legendary from each cache when earned on [[Rift Keystone FragmentsTorment 2]]or higher, and may also contain up to a 100% chance on [[Blood ShardsTorment 6]], crafting plans or designs, and 1-3 rare, set, or legendary items.

There has been much debate about when and how the contents of a Horadric ==Cache are determined. Initially when RoS launched the cache contents were fixed when the cache was opened. This fact was exploited by players who gathered caches on [[Normal]] difficulty, then opened them in [[Torment 6]] to get much larger stacks of gold, to increase the legendary drop rate, and potentially Imperial gems as well.Contents Determined==

Blizzard promptly fixed this exploit The items that drop from a Cache roll at the level and made it so Caches were the difficulty set to by the difficulty they were farmed/character who earned onthe cache, which became more important when while the items in the cache [[Patch_2.0.5#Adventure_Mode|Patch 2.0.5smart loot]] boosted for the legendary drop rate class of the character that opens it. This makes it possible to farm caches farmed on Torment 2+with your main character, then open them with an alt of another class, who will find all the items themed appropriately for them. <ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blizzard-tracker/devthread/us/13348454718 Horadric Cache drops] - Grimiku forum post, 5/07/2014</ref>

While the difficulty level of the cache is set when farmed, the actual items in the cache are set when it is opened, and the [[smart loot]] will target the class of the character who opens itThis system was some time evolving. Thus players can farm caches with their fastest character, then open them with another character who will find the loot in the cache themed to them; class-restricted items and especially the [[mainstat]] and other item affixes.<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blizzard-tracker/devthread/us/13348454718 Horadric Cache drops] - Grimiku forum post, 5/07/2014</ref>

<blue>I tend Initially caches did not snapshot on the difficulty they were earned on, and players soon learned to farm all of my Horadric Caches with one class, but I up caches on a lower difficulty and then open them up with on Torment 6 to get better drop odds. There were also rumors about exploiting the other characters who still need a Ring of Royal GrandeurLegendary pity timer to increase cache quality, though they were ultimately debunked. <ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.

This rewards players who earn caches on higher difficulty levels, and open rather than split farming them up with a Witch Doctor to have any Legendary items found focus on Witch Doctor statseasy settings. </blue>

There are a number Reaper of Souls launched with twenty-one legendary items that can *could only* be found in from Horadric Caches, and only from certain all sorted by acts. There is no other way to obtain these items other than via Horadric Caches, and many players spent much time farming all the bounties in specific acts in an effort to find one or more of these special legendary items.(Though suggestions to make the Ring of Royal Grandeur more easily-obtained are a perennial point of debate.)

No legendary items are specially tied to Act Four Caches, but bounty bags and Caches earned in that this act can will randomly contain the special a legendary items item from any one of the other acts. This essentially gives a 1/21 chance of finding any specific legendary item from Act Four.
