 Prior to [[Patch 2.3]], Death's Breath were only found above level 61. Below that level there were different versions of all materials, and players found [[Demonic Essence]] instead of Death's Breath.  Patch 2.3 streamlined the crafting materials, and all existing Demonic Essence were transformed into DBs.

 Death's Breath (DB) is a [[crafting]] [[material]] that may be dropped by [[Elite]]s, [[Treasure Goblin]]s, and [[Resplendent Chests]] above level 61 in [[Reaper of Souls]]. DBs are not found in Diablo 3. This material is the higher tier version of the [[Demonic Essence]] crafting material, which has the same drop rates from the same sources, though only from enemies and targets below level 61.
-Deaths Breaths are not a [[legendary material]], though they are required in virtually all level 60+ and [[end game]] crafting recipes in Reaper of Souls. These include [[training]] [[Artisan]]s, [[enchanting]], upgrading [[gems]] (Royal and Flawless Royal quality), and [[crafting]].

-Since Death's Breath are [[account bound]] (BoA), drop primarily from Elites, and drop at higher rates on higher difficulties, they may function as a [[bottleneck]] on crafting and other item upgrading functions in Reaper of Souls, forcing players to spend a fair amount of time playing the game and harvesting Death's Breaths (and other materials/gems) rather than simply buying or trading for them. (The bottleneck effect is strongest for new players to Reaper of Souls. After some weeks of play time most players accumulate a surplus.)

Most players felt this acutely when first starting out in Reaper of Souls, since Artisan training and almost all item enchanting requires Death's Breaths, but the shortage didn't last long and most players have hundreds of Death's Breaths stacked up not long after they begin farming at level 70.
