Legendary and other [[materials]] in Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls. This page s under construction and will soon be streamlined and reformatted.  
+
All special droppable legendary materials were abruptly and controversially removed from the game in [[Patch 2.0.6]]. See below.
  
 +
Post v2.06, only legendary materials remaining in Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls are ones created by salvaging legendary items, along with the special legendary materials related to the [[Infernal Machine]] and the [[Whimsyshire]] opening Staff of Herding. Patch 2.3 added more legendary materials, the [[Horadric Cache mats]], used largely in [[Kanai's Cube]].
  
===White Materials===
 
  
Salvage from gray and white items. 2-6 per salvage.
+
==Legendary Materials: Salvageable==
* [[Common Debris]] -- Level 1-60.
 
* [[Reusable Parts]] -- Level 61-70.
 
  
 +
There are two types of legendary material that are salvaged from legendary and set items, including crafted legendary/set items. One material comes from each salvaged item. They may also directly drop from [[Rift Guardians]], in the appropriate level range.
  
===Blue Materials===
+
* [[Fiery Brimstone]] -- Level 1-60.
 +
* [[Forgotten Soul]] -- Level 61-70.
  
Salvage from blue items. 1-4 materials per item salvaged.
+
Forgotten Souls are the chief [[bottleneck]] for all end game crafting and legendary enchanting, and most players feel it is impossible to have too many, since any new legendary item might require dozens of enchants, costing a Forgotten Soul apiece, to get the perfect affix.
  
* [[Exquisite Essence]] -- Salvage blue items level 1-60.
 
* [[Arcane Dust]] -- Salvage blue items level 61-70.
 
  
 +
==Infernal Machine Legendary Materials==
  
===Yellow Materials===
+
There are a number of legendary materials required to create the [[Infernal Machine]] and then to craft a [[Hellfire Ring]] in Reaper of Souls. The 4 types of keys drop only from the [[KeyWardens]], and the 4 [[Demonic Organs]] drop only from the [[Ubers]]. See those articles for full details.
 +
* Diablo 3 has just 3 keys, 1 Machine, and 3 Ubers for 3 Organs. That info is also covered in the [[Infernal Machine]] article.
  
Salvage from Rare items. 1 per item salvaged.
 
* [[Iridescent Tear]]
 
* [[Veiled Crystal]]
 
  
Find only. Dropped by Treasure Goblins, random elites, Purple uniques, and [[resplendent chest]]s.
+
==Staff of Herding Legendary Materials==
* [[Demonic Essence]] --  Level 1-60.
 
* [[Death's Breath]] -- Level 61-70.
 
  
 +
[[Whimsyshire]] is the rainbow-colored [[Easter Egg]] level in Diablo 3, which remains accessible in Reaper of Souls.
  
===Removed Materials===
+
Four legendary materials, the [[Gibbering Gemstone]], [[Leoric's Shinbone]], [[Liquid Rainbow]], [[Wirt's Bell]], are required to create the [[Staff of Herding]], which is used to gain access to [[Whimsyshire]]. Going there is required in some cases, since two of the legendary materials can '''''only''''' be found from Uniques in Whimsyshire.
  
Diablo 3 vanilla had blue, and yellow materials for each of the four difficulty levels, [[Normal]], [[Nightmare]], [[Hell]], and [[Inferno]]. [[D3v2]] simplified this system with the Normal blue and yellow materials remaining and covering level 1-60, and new blue and yellow materials added from 61-70. The old blue and yellow materials from Nightmare, Hell, and Inferno were all converted into the level 1-60 version of themselves, thus none of the following exist in the game any longer.  
+
* See the [[Whimsyshire]] article for full details.
  
Blue obsolete materials.
 
* [[Shimmering Essence]]
 
* [[Subtle Essence]]
 
* [[Wishful Essence]]
 
  
Yellow obsolete materials.
+
==Horadric Cache Materials==
* [[Fallen Tooth]]
 
* [[Lizard Eye]]
 
* [[Encrusted Hoof]]
 
  
 +
Legendary Materials made a sort of return in [[Patch 2.3]] when five new Horadric Cache materials]] were added to the game (each using an icon of a former Legendary Material). These five "cache mats" drop only from Horadric Caches, and are required for most level 70 legendary and set crafting in Patch 2.3 and later. Cache mats are also required for the most powerful recipes in [[Kanai's Cube]].
  
   
 
===Legendary Materials: Salvageable===
 
  
There are two types of legendary material that are salvaged from legendary and set items, including crafted legendary/set items. One material comes from each salvaged item. They may also directly drop from Rift Guardians.
 
  
* [[Fiery Brimstone]] -- Level 1-60.
 
* [[Forgotten Soul]] -- Level 61-70.
 
  
Each is used in all legendary crafting and enchanting recipes of their appropriate level range. Forgotten Souls are the chief [[bottleneck]] for all end game crafting and legendary enchanting, and most players feel it is impossible to have too many, since at any moment a ring or amulet might require a dozen or more enchants to get the perfect affix.

{{Archived|June 2014|[[Legendary Materials]]}}
  
===Legendary Material Drop Rates===
+
Legendary Materials were abruptly removed from the game in [[Patch 2.0.6]]. This was a very controversial decision taken without any consultation with the community or advance notice. Many fans objected strongly[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-patch-2-0-6-notes-legendary-materials], pointing out the lack of any substitute for the complexity and variety of play options the legendary materials offered. Blizzard's official statement was included in the v2.06 patch notes:
 
Legendary materials drop more often on higher difficulty levels. Their drop rate was tripled in [[Patch 1.0.4]], making them all much easier to find. Here are the V2.04 drop rates for legendary materials (and [[Death's Breaths]].
 
  
* Normal: 15%
+
<blue>Legendary crafted items are meant to be both a stepping stone into end game items and a good place to spend crafting materials at the end game. While we like the fantasy of having the unique crafting materials, obtaining them was either keeping too many people from being able to complete the recipes in a timely manner or encouraging game flipping and similar less than ideal patterns of play in order to acquire them. As such, we are removing the requirement for unique items when crafting Legendaries.
* Hard: 18%
 
* Expert: 21%
 
* Master: 25%
 
* Torment 1: 31%
 
* Torment 2: 37%
 
* Torment 3: 44%
 
* Torment 4: 53%
 
* Torment 5: 64%
 
* Torment 6: 77%
 
  
 +
* Unique crafting materials are no longer required.<br>
 +
** Legendary crafting materials will no longer drop.<br>
 +
** Existing Legendary crafting materials will now be grey and have had their sell prices increased.
  
==Legendary Materials: Droppable==
+
*Level 70 crafted sets and Legendary items with unique properties now require additional Death’s Breath.<br>
 +
*Level 70 crafted Legendary items without unique properties have had their Death's Breath costs removed.<br>
 +
*Death’s Breath is no longer required for most Artisan training costs.<br>
 +
**The Mystic no longer requires any Death’s Breath to train.<br>
 +
**The Blacksmith and the Jeweler now only require 1 each to learn the first rank of level 11.
 +
</blue>
  
The following must all be found in the world. Only two, [[Adventure's Journal]] and [[Griswold's Scribblings]], are found throughout the game, before level 70, and from objects of all types. All the rest drop only from Uniques (Purples) of the correct type, wherever they may be found, and only at level 70.
+
The remainder of this page is untouched from pre-Patch 2.0.6 for archival purposes.
  
Some Purples are bosses tied to quests and thus they appear every game in Adventure Mode, making them much easier to farm for their material. Examples include the [[Skeleton King]], [[Maghda]], [[Ghom]], [[Cydaea]], [[Rakanoth]], [[Izual]], [[Adria]], etc. Many of those Uniques are the only source for one legendary material.
+
=Legendary Materials=
  
Other random-spawning purples are much harder to find. The other types do not appear every game, seldom have a fixed location, and can require a lot of searching to find them even if they can only appear on one level. The best way to find these types of Purples is to find a game where they are a [[Bounty]]. There is no guarantee they will drop the legendary material even then, but at least you know where they are in that game.

[[File:Leg-mat-skull-of-raylend-ground.jpg|thumb|300px|Freshly-dropped legendary material.]]
 +
Legendary [[materials]] are found in Reaper of Souls (a few are also found also in [[Diablo 3 version 2]]), and required for all legendary and set [[crafting]]. While all the regular [[materials]] are created by salvaging items, all legendary materials except for [[Fiery Brimstones]] and [[Forgotten Souls]] must be found in the world. They can be difficult to obtain; almost all legendary materials drop '''''only''''' from certain purple [[Unique]] bosses, and these are largely random in their location and frequency.
  
 +
Like normal types of [[Materials]], Legendary Materials have no function on their own, and are used exclusively in the [[crafting]] of set and legendary items.  Players generally find a legendary crafting plan, teach it to the Blacksmith, and then view the details of that armor or weapon before deciding if it's worth trying to find the legendary material required to make it.  That's what this article is for, with info on every legendary crafting materials, the legendary/set plan they are tied to, and the name and location of the Unique bosses capable of dropping them.

! width=27% | Notes
 
|-
 
| style="text-align:center;" |[[Image:adventurers-journal.jpg]]<br>[[Adventurer's Journal]]
 
| [[Pender's Purchase]] crafted legendary gloves.
 
| Breakable and clickable objects (except chests). Seen from loose floor tiles, urns and vases, barrels, dead bodies, etc.
 
| This is the most common legendary material, due to the huge variety of objects it may spawn from. The gloves are not very good, with no legendary property and just six random modifiers.
 
|-
 
| style="text-align:center;" |[[Image:angelic-shard.jpg]]<br>[[Angelic Shard]]
 
| [[Hallowed Protectors]] crafted item Set
 
| [[Corrupted Angel|Fallen Angel]]s, found entirely in Acts Four and Five. Confirmed:
 
*[[Pyres the Damned]] Act 4, The Silver Spire Level 1, possible bounty target.
 
*[[Izual]] Act 4, The Great Span. Boss, spawns every game.
 
*[[Haziael]], Act 5, Battlefields of Eternity.
 
*[[Erelus]], Act 5, Battlefields of Eternity. The Crag of Eternity, spawns with "The War That Time Forgot" event.
 
*[[Celik]], Act 5, Pandemonium Fortress Level 2. Random.
 
| valign="top"| Hallowed Protectors is a popular set to create, with a variety of one-handed weapons and a shield. This is one of the more-common materials, with numerous Fallen Angels capable of dropping it. Izual is the most commonly farmed, simply because he appears every game.
 
|-
 
| style="text-align:center;" |[[Image:behistun-rune.jpg]]<br>[[Behistun Rune]]
 
| [[Mark of the Magi]], crafted legendary staff
 
| Unique [[Dark Summoner|Cultist Summoner]]s and their Unique [[Hellion]]s (Demon Dogs).
 
* [[Urik the Seer]], Act 1, Fields of Misery, Khazra Den. (Fixed spawn in [[Story Mode]].) May appear randomly in the Fields of Misery in Adventure Mode.
 
* [[Cadhul the Deathcaller]]. Act 1, Southern Highlands, random spawn.
 
* [[Jezeb the Conjuror]], Act 1, Leoric's Manor. Random, and sometimes a Bounty target.
 
* [[Krailen the Wicked]], Act 1, Leoric's Manor. Random spawn.
 
* [[Yeth]], Act 2, Road to Alcarnus. (Demon Dog. Random, sometimes a Bounty.)
 
* [[Shondar the Invoker]], Act 2, Alcarnus. (Summoner, random spawn, sometimes a Bounty.)
 
* [[Pontius]], Act 5, Westmarch Commons. (Random.)
 
| valign="top"| Another fairly common material, due to the sheer number of possible drop sources. This one can be farmed along with [[Maghda's Tortured Soul]], since one of the Purples capable of dropping a Behistun Rune will appear perhaps 2/3 of the time in or on the way to Alcarnus.
 
|-
 
| style="text-align:center;" |[[Image:bloody-pincer.jpg]]<br>[[Bloody Pincer]]
 
|[[Demon Claw]], legendary Fist Weapon (Monk only).
 
| [[Tormented Stinger]]s and [[Scarab]]s.
 
* [[Severclaw]], Act 3, Arreat Crater Level 1. (Random spawn and sometimes Bounty.)
 
* [[Crabbs]], Act 3, Tower of the Damned Level 2. (Random spawn and sometimes Bounty.)
 
* [[Scorpitox]], Act 3, Core of Arreat. (Random spawn.)
 
* [{Balata]], Act 5, Ruins of Corvus. (Random spawn.)
 
* [[Vosk]], Act 5, Passage to Corvus, Vosk. (Spawns during "The Hatchery" event.)
 
* [[Scarnax]], Act 5, Ruins of Corvus. (Random spawn.)
 
| valign="top"|
 
|-
 
| style="text-align:center;" |[[Image:borns-key.jpg]]<br> [[Born's Key]]
 
| [[Born's Command]] Item Set
 
| [[Zombie]]s and [[Brigand]]s (grave robbers).
 
* [[Lucious the Depraved]], Act 1, [[Cemetery of the Forsaken]]. (Random spawn, sometimes bounty.)
 
* [[Dataminer]], Act 1, [[Defiled Crypt]], dungeon below the Cemetery of the Forsaken. {Random spawn, sometimes Bounty.)
 
* [[Digger O'Dell]], Act 1, [[Defiled Crypt]], dungeon below the Cemetery of the Forsaken. {Random spawn, sometimes Bounty.)
 
* [[John Gorham Coffin]], Act 1, [[Defiled Crypt]], dungeon below the Cemetery of the Forsaken. {Random spawn, sometimes Bounty.)

|-
 
| style="text-align:center;" |[[Image:captured-nightmare.jpg]]<br>[[Captured Nightmare]]
 
| [[Night's Reaping]], Legendary one-handed Mighty Weapon. (Barbarian only.)
 
| [[Terror Demon]]s and [[Enslaved Nightmare]]s.
 
* [[Haures]], Act 4, The Silver Spire Level 2. (Random spawn.)
 
* [[Grimnight the Soulless]], Act 4, The Silver Spire Level 2. {Random spawn, sometimes Bounty.)
 
| valign="top"| One of the tougher materials to obtain, since Purples of this type spawn very infrequently and are not often seen as Bounties.  The weapon is not that great anyway, with no legendary affix, though it has high Life% inherent bonus.

|-
 
| style="text-align:center;" |[[Image:captured-soul.jpg]]<br>[[Captured Soul]]
 
| [[Lai Yui's Persuader]], legendary Daibo (Monk only)

* [[Aloysius the Ghastly]], Act 3, The Keep Depths Level 2. (Random spawn.)
 
* [[Riplash]], Act 3, Tower of the Damned Level 2. {Random spawn, sometimes Bounty.)
 
| valign="top"| A tough one to find with few options for the drop. As Daibos unuseful as Diabos are, it's not clear that anyone has ever actually made this item.
 
|-
 
| style="text-align:center;" |[[Image:cartographers-toolkit.jpg]]<br>[[Cartographer's Toolkit]]
 
| [[Board Walkers]], legendary boots.
 
| [[Ghoul]]s.  (The fast moving melee type.)
 
* [[Enkidu]]. Act 1, [[Festering Woods]]. Spawns as part of the [[Eternal War]] event, which may be a Bounty.
 
* [[Grimsmack]], Act 1, [[Festering Woods]]. Random spawn.
 
* [[Lavarinth]], Act 3, [[Rakkis Crossing]]. Spawns as part of the [[Blaze of Glory]] event, which may be a Bounty.
 
* [[Gholash]], Act 3, [[Tower of the Damned Level 1]].

| Potentially every bookshelf, lore bag, Cain's backpack, satchels, podiums, Angiris Archives, etc, throughout the entire game. Anything clickable that might hold a lore book can drop this item once a character has previously found the lore book.
 
| valign="top"| The second most common legendary material, these can be found by any level character from hundreds of possible spots throughout the game. Though the sword has no special legendary property, it can roll with high damage and the common nature of the crafting material results in many players trying their luck on this one.

Latest revision as of 07:33, 24 July 2015

All special droppable legendary materials were abruptly and controversially removed from the game in Patch 2.0.6. See below.

Post v2.06, only legendary materials remaining in Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls are ones created by salvaging legendary items, along with the special legendary materials related to the Infernal Machine and the Whimsyshire opening Staff of Herding. Patch 2.3 added more legendary materials, the Horadric Cache mats, used largely in Kanai's Cube.


Legendary Materials: Salvageable[edit | edit source]

There are two types of legendary material that are salvaged from legendary and set items, including crafted legendary/set items. One material comes from each salvaged item. They may also directly drop from Rift Guardians, in the appropriate level range.

Forgotten Souls are the chief bottleneck for all end game crafting and legendary enchanting, and most players feel it is impossible to have too many, since any new legendary item might require dozens of enchants, costing a Forgotten Soul apiece, to get the perfect affix.


Infernal Machine Legendary Materials[edit | edit source]

There are a number of legendary materials required to create the Infernal Machine and then to craft a Hellfire Ring in Reaper of Souls. The 4 types of keys drop only from the KeyWardens, and the 4 Demonic Organs drop only from the Ubers. See those articles for full details.

  • Diablo 3 has just 3 keys, 1 Machine, and 3 Ubers for 3 Organs. That info is also covered in the Infernal Machine article.


Staff of Herding Legendary Materials[edit | edit source]

Whimsyshire is the rainbow-colored Easter Egg level in Diablo 3, which remains accessible in Reaper of Souls.

Four legendary materials, the Gibbering Gemstone, Leoric's Shinbone, Liquid Rainbow, Wirt's Bell, are required to create the Staff of Herding, which is used to gain access to Whimsyshire. Going there is required in some cases, since two of the legendary materials can only be found from Uniques in Whimsyshire.


Horadric Cache Materials[edit | edit source]

Legendary Materials made a sort of return in Patch 2.3 when five new Horadric Cache materials]] were added to the game (each using an icon of a former Legendary Material). These five "cache mats" drop only from Horadric Caches, and are required for most level 70 legendary and set crafting in Patch 2.3 and later. Cache mats are also required for the most powerful recipes in Kanai's Cube.

Legendary Materials is an archived article about material previously included in Diablo 3. However, it has currently been removed or the article contains outdated facts. The information is stored in Diablo Wiki for posterity. Please note: Links in this article lead to both updated and archived material.

Currently updated version of this article is:


Legendary Materials were abruptly removed from the game in Patch 2.0.6. This was a very controversial decision taken without any consultation with the community or advance notice. Many fans objected strongly[1], pointing out the lack of any substitute for the complexity and variety of play options the legendary materials offered. Blizzard's official statement was included in the v2.06 patch notes:

Legendary crafted items are meant to be both a stepping stone into end game items and a good place to spend crafting materials at the end game. While we like the fantasy of having the unique crafting materials, obtaining them was either keeping too many people from being able to complete the recipes in a timely manner or encouraging game flipping and similar less than ideal patterns of play in order to acquire them. As such, we are removing the requirement for unique items when crafting Legendaries.
  • Unique crafting materials are no longer required.
    • Legendary crafting materials will no longer drop.
    • Existing Legendary crafting materials will now be grey and have had their sell prices increased.
  • Level 70 crafted sets and Legendary items with unique properties now require additional Death’s Breath.
  • Level 70 crafted Legendary items without unique properties have had their Death's Breath costs removed.
  • Death’s Breath is no longer required for most Artisan training costs.
    • The Mystic no longer requires any Death’s Breath to train.
    • The Blacksmith and the Jeweler now only require 1 each to learn the first rank of level 11.

The remainder of this page is untouched from pre-Patch 2.0.6 for archival purposes.

Legendary Materials[edit | edit source]

Freshly-dropped legendary material.

Legendary materials are found in Reaper of Souls (a few are also found also in Diablo 3 version 2), and required for all legendary and set crafting. While all the regular materials are created by salvaging items, all legendary materials except for Fiery Brimstones and Forgotten Souls must be found in the world. They can be difficult to obtain; almost all legendary materials drop only from certain purple Unique bosses, and these are largely random in their location and frequency.

Like normal types of Materials, Legendary Materials have no function on their own, and are used exclusively in the crafting of set and legendary items. Players generally find a legendary crafting plan, teach it to the Blacksmith, and then view the details of that armor or weapon before deciding if it's worth trying to find the legendary material required to make it. That's what this article is for, with info on every legendary crafting materials, the legendary/set plan they are tied to, and the name and location of the Unique bosses capable of dropping them.


Legendary Material Drop Rates[edit | edit source]

Legendary materials drop more often on higher difficulty levels. Their drop rate was tripled in Patch 2.0.4 shortly after Reaper of Souls' release, making them all much easier to find. The figures are the percent chance the legendary material (or Deaths Breath will be dropped by a valid source. All legendary materials except Adventurer's Journals and Griswold's Scribblings can only be dropped by Unique (purple) bosses of a certain type. See the legendary materials article for full details.

Legendary Material and Deaths Breath drop rates



The same drop rates apply to Death's Breaths, though they have many more possible drop sources.


Legendary Materials[edit | edit source]

The following 41 legendary materials are required for crafting various legendary and set items. The Adventure's Journal and Griswold's Scribblings can drop from various objects from level 10-70, and both are present in Diablo 3. All the rest are Reapr of Souls only, and only drop from level 70 Uniques (Purples) of the correct type.

This table is meant for quick reference. Refer to the individual legendary material articles for more details on the crafting purposes, scarcity, farming tips, and more.

  • Bounty: Monster may appear as a Bounty target.
  • Fixed: Monster appears in this location every game (may differ between Story Mode and Adventure Mode).
  • Event: Monster is part of an event. (Most events are random spawns and not found every game.)
  • Legendary Affixes: Special bonus properties only granted by legendary items. (Can not be enchanted.)
