Adventurer's Journal legendary material.

Materials have no function on their own, but they are required for many crafting and item modification activities, including enchanting, crafting weapons, armor, and jewelry, and training Artisans.

Materials can be found directly from monster or chest drops, and they are obtained by salvaging items with the Blacksmith.

All materials (and gems) stack up to 5000.

Materials in Loot 2.0

Diablo 3 version 2 reworked and simplified the Diablo 3 vanilla materials system, with one common, one magic, two rare and one legendary item.

In Reaper of Souls, a new tier of materials was added and in Patch 2.3, the lower tier was removed. The same patch added materials found only in Horadric Caches. Prior to Patch 2.0.6, legendary materials dropped from certain monsters and were used to craft items.

Salvaging Materials

Each item of a given quality level salvages into the same level of material as follows:

Common (white): Reusable Parts
Magic (blue): Arcane Dust
Rare (yellow): Veiled Crystal
Legendary (orange) & Set (green): Forgotten Soul

Other Materials

Patch 2.3 introduced materials found in the Horadric Caches, rewarded after completing all the bounties in each act. There is a different material for each act and used for Kanai's Cube recipe. Please see the respective pages for more details.

Death's Breath is a rare material that only drops from golden chests, elite mobs and treasure goblins. These are used for crafting high-level gear and in Kanai's Cube recipes.

Converting Materials

It is possible to convert between Reusable Parts, Arcane Dust and Veiled Crystals, using the Anger of Iben Fahd recipe. It requires 100 of one material, one piece of the material desired and 1 Death's Breath.

ARCHIVE: Diablo 3 vanilla 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 The info below is no longer current and many of the materials no longer exist; all the obsolete types of material were transformed into the new materials when D3v2 went live.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 material and its own rare material. Inferno alone has a legendary material. An item always yields materials of the difficulty level its item level corresponds to: item levels 1–30 are Normal, 31–50 are Nightmare, 51–59 are Hell, and 60–63 are Inferno.

Magic items have a 100% chance to yield a magic material and a 15% chance to also yield a rare material.
Rare items have a 100% chance to yield both a magic material and a rare material.
Legendary and set items have a 100% chance to yield three rare materials. On Inferno, one of these Iridescent Tears is swapped for a Fiery Brimstone.

Materials cannot be converted or upgraded.

+* All materials (and [[gem]]s) stack up to 5000.
 ==Materials in Loot 2.0==
-[[Diablo 3 version 2]] reworked and simplified the [[Diablo 3 vanilla]] materials system. In the Loot 2.0 version of Diablo 3, materials are very simple, with one material obtained from salvaging each quality of item: white, blue, yellow, orange, plus another yellow material ([[Demonic Essence]]) that can only be found from Elites, Goblins, and Golden Chests.
+[[Diablo 3 version 2]] reworked and simplified the [[Diablo 3 vanilla]] materials system, with one common, one magic, two rare and one legendary item.
-That same materials organization is found in [[Reaper of Souls]], but is doubled by a higher tier of materials from level 61+ items and monsters. Reaper of Souls also introduces dozens of [[legendary materials]], only a few of which are found in Diablo 3. These are required to craft the numerous set and legendary items found only in Reaper of Souls.
-==Common Materials==
-Common materials are white, blue, or yellow, and may be dropped by monsters, chests, goblins, horadric stashes, etc. They are chiefly produced from [[salvaging]] items with the [[Blacksmith]], with each color of item producing exclusively the same color of material. This is a change from [[D3v]], where salvaging Rare yellow items produced both blue and yellow materials, and had a small % chance to produce a Fiery Brimstone as well.
-In contrast, now in [[D3v2]] and RoS there is no variance in material type, and players who need more white or blue materials than they are finding from direct drops must pick up those types of items and bring them back to salvage with the blacksmith.
-* All level 61-70 items are Reaper of Souls only and not found in Diablo 3.
-'''White Materials'''<br>
-Salvage from gray and white items. 2-6 per salvage.
-* [[Common Debris]] -- Level 1-60.
-* [[Reusable Parts]] -- Level 61-70.
-'''Blue Materials'''<br>
-Salvage from blue items. 1-4 materials per item salvaged.
-* [[Exquisite Essence]] -- Salvage blue items level 1-60.
-* [[Arcane Dust]] -- Salvage blue items level 61-70.
-'''Yellow Materials'''<br>
-Salvage from Rare items. 1 per item salvaged.
-* [[Iridescent Tear]]
-* [[Veiled Crystal]]
-Drop-only yellows materials. Dropped by [[Treasure Goblin]]s, random [[elites]], Purple [[uniques]], and [[resplendent chest]]s.
-* [[Demonic Essence]] --  Level 1-60.
-* [[Death's Breath]] -- Level 61-70.
-==Legendary Materials==
-Legendary materials are orange in color, like legendary items. They are rarer than common materials, and are essential for crafting and [[enchanting]] legendary/set items.
-* See the [[legendary materials]] article for full details.
-'''Salvaged Legendary Materials'''<br>
-The two basic types of legendary materials are created by salvaging legendary and set items. They may also be dropped directly by [[Rift Guardians]] in the same level range.
-* [[Fiery Brimstone]] --  Level 1-60.
-* [[Forgotten Soul]] -- Level 61-70.
-===Dropped Legendary Materials===
-Most legendary materials can only be found in the world, dropped by special types of purple [[Unique]] bosses. See the [[legendary materials]] article for full details about which [[crafting]] plans these materials are required for, and which and where are the enemies that can drop them.
-Drop rates increase with the [[difficulty]] level. Legendary Material drop rates were tripled shortly after release in [[Patch 2.0.4]]. The drop rates are the same for [[Death's Breaths]], which are much more common since they can drop from many more possible sources.
-* Normal: 15%
-* Hard: 18%
-* Expert: 21%
-* Master: 25%
-* Torment 1: 31%
-* Torment 2: 37%
-* Torment 3: 44%
-* Torment 4: 53%
-* Torment 5: 64%
-* Torment 6: 77%

-Only two of the Legendary Materials, the [[Adventure's Journal]] and [[Griswold's Scribblings]], are found throughout the game, before level 70, and only those two are found in Diablo 3. All the rest are Reaper of Souls only, and only drop from level 70 targets.

-===The Infernal Machine===
-The Infernal Machine is a special end-game event that allows players to fight special bosses and collect materials to craft a [[Hellfire Ring]]. The event has multiple stages and differs somewhat between Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls.
-All of the keys and demonic organs are technically "legendary materials," though that's a bit misleading since all the components involved in the Infernal Machine are used only for it, and thus don't really mix with the rest of the legendary mats.
-*See the [[Infernal Machine]] article for full details.
+In [[Reaper of Souls]], a new tier of materials was added and in [[Patch 2.3]], the lower tier was removed. The same patch added materials found only in [[Horadric Caches]]. Prior to Patch 2.0.6, legendary materials dropped from certain monsters and were used to craft items.
