Torment-only

Torment-only refers to game features and items that are only available on the Torment 1-6 difficulty levels. Most things in Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls scale up with difficulty and thus grow more rewarding on Torment, but "Torment-only" refers to items and systems that do not exist at all on lower difficulties.

Torment Required

Torment 1 and higher enables the following:

• Diablo 3 Class Item Sets can only drop on Torment 1 and higher, at level 60 and higher.
• New level 70 legendary and set items in Reaper of Souls only drop on Torment 1 and higher.
• Legendary item drop rates get a special boost in Nephalem Rifts on Torment 1 and higher.
• The Infernal Machine only exists on Torment 1 and higher. The keys and organs do not drop below Torment, and the Hermit's Shack can not be entered below Torment.
• Imperial gems may drop instead of Marquise gems on Master and higher.

Patch 2.0.5 T2-T6 Buffs

Patch 2.0.5 increased the drop rates for T2-T6 (but not Torment 1) to provide a better rewards (and incentive) to players who move up into the higher difficulty levels.

• Horadric Caches
  • Now have an increased chance to drop Legendary items on Torment II – VI
• Kadala (Gambling)
  • Can now drop Torment-only Legendary items
  • Will now always give you weapon types that your character can equip with an emphasis on class specific weapon types
• Nephalem Rifts
  • Increased the number of Blood Shards that can drop from Horadric Caches
  • The number of Blood Shards dropped by Rift Guardians on Torment II – VI now increases with each level of difficulty

Torment Only Legendaries

The full list of Reaper of Souls Torment-only items was revealed in February 2014.[1] This list was added to a few weeks later when all of the Diablo 3 class-themed sets were also tagged as Torment-only. That applied to their drops in D3v2 or RoS, and made them the only Torment-only items in Diablo 3.

Legendary Follower Items

  • Gain access to all skills.
• Skeleton Key -- Scoundrel
  • Your follower cannot die.

  • Gain access to all skills.
• Enchanting Favor -- Templar
  • Your follower cannot die.
• Relic of Akarat -- Templar
  • Gain access to all skills.

Legendary Health Potions

Legendary Health Potions drop only in Torment. Each grants the same benefit (60% HPs instantly restored) as a normal health potion, plus a bonus property for 5 seconds. All potions are "bottomless" and can be used an infinite number of times.

• Bottomless Potion of the Diamond
  • Increases Resist All by 50–100 for 5 seconds.
• Bottomless Potion of Kulle-Aid
  • Drinking Kulle-Aid allows you to burst through walls summoned by Waller elites for 5 seconds.
