{{Archived|February 2014|[[Materials]]}}


Archived info from the system in the game during [[Diablo 3 vanilla]]. The initial materials system ran from from launch in May 2012 until [[Diablo 3 version 2]] went live in February 2014, with several minor additions and modifications during that time. The info below is no longer current and many of the materials no longer exist; all the obsolete types of material were transformed into the new materials when D3v2 went live.

There are nine materials in total. Each difficulty level has its own {{magic|magic}} material and its own {{rare|rare}} material. Inferno alone has a {{legendary|legendary}} material. An item always yields materials of the difficulty level its item level corresponds to: item levels 1&ndash;30 are Normal, 31&ndash;50 are Nightmare, 51&ndash;59 are Hell, and 60&ndash;63 are Inferno.

* {{magic|Magic}} items have a 100% chance to yield a {{magic|magic}} material and a 15% chance to also yield a {{rare|rare}} material.
* {{rare|Rare}} items have a 100% chance to yield both a {{magic|magic}} material and a {{rare|rare}} material.
* {{legendary|Legendary}} and {{set|set}} items have a 100% chance to yield three {{rare|rare}} materials. On Inferno, one of these [[Iridescent Tear|{{rare|Iridescent Tears}}]] is swapped for a {{legendary link|Fiery Brimstone}}.

Materials cannot be converted or upgraded.
