==Materials in Loot 2.0==
 
==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.
+
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.
  
  
==Common Materials==
+
==Material Types==
  
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. 
+
===Salvaged materials===
  
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 these salvaged materials will also drop from monsters, chests, and especially from Treasure Goblins such as the [[Odious Hoarder]].
 +
* Common (white): [[Reusable Parts]]
 +
* Magic (blue): [[Arcane Dust]]
 +
* Rare (yellow): [[Veiled Crystal]]
 +
* Legendary (orange) & Set (green): [[Forgotten Soul]]
  
* All level 61-70 items are Reaper of Souls only and not found in Diablo 3.
 
  
'''White Materials'''<br>
+
===Non-Salvaged Materials===
Salvage from gray and white items. 2-6 per salvage.
 
* [[Common Debris]] -- Level 1-60.
 
* [[Reusable Parts]] -- Level 61-70.
 
  
 +
Materials that drop directly from various sources and can not be obtained by salvaging items.
  
'''Blue Materials'''<br>
+
[[Death's Breath]] drop when Elite monsters are killed, and also from Golden Chests and Goblins. DBs are highly sought after as they are required on quantity for all sorts of high level gear crafting, as well as in most of the [[Kanai's Cube]] recipes.
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.
 
  
 +
[[Horadric Cache Materials]]. Introduced in [[Patch 2.3]], these materials can only be obtained from the Horadric Caches awarded by Tyrael when a character completes all five [[bounties]] in a given act. Many legendary and set item crafting requires require one or more, and two of the most powerful Cube recipes require 1 or 5 each of all these materials, making their farming essential.
 +
* Act One, [[Khanduran Rune]].
 +
* Act Two, [[Caldeum Nightshade]]
 +
* Act Three, [[Arreat War Tapestry]]
 +
* Act Four, [[Corrupted Angel Flesh]]
 +
* Act Five, [[Westmarch Holy Water]]
  
'''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.
+
[[File:Leg-mat-adventurers-journal.jpg|thumb|350px|Removed: [[Adventurer's Journal]] legendary material.]]
* [[Demonic Essence]] --  Level 1-60.
+
[[Legendary Materials]] were removed from the game in Patch 2.0.6. There were several dozen of these special legendary materials, each required for various legendary and set item crafting. As they only dropped from certain unique (purple) elites, they were quite hard to farm and were ultimately removed from the game and the crafting recipes rearranged. Even many patches later, players will still occasionally find an [[Adventurer's Journal]] from an in-game item, though this material no longer has any function in the game.
* [[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.
+
==Converting Materials==
* See the [[legendary materials]] article for full details.
 
  
 +
White and Blue materials were perpetually in short supply until Patch 2.3 simplified crafting and increased their drop rate, while also enabling Treasure Goblins to drop large stacks of materials. Patch 2.4 further eased material shortages by adding the [[Cube]] recipe, [[Anger of Iben Fahd]]. It enables players to convert 100 stacks of white, blue, or yellow materials into each other, as needed.
  
'''Salvaged Legendary Materials'''<br>
+
See [[Material/Archive]] for details on the Diablo 3 Vanilla Materials.
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.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
=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|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.

Death's Breath.

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 cube recipes, and training Artisans.

Materials are salvaged from white, blue, yellow, and orange/green items, and can also be dropped directly by monsters, chests, and especially from Treasure Goblins.


Materials in Loot 2.0[edit | edit source]

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.


Material Types[edit | edit source]

Salvaged materials[edit | edit source]

All these salvaged materials will also drop from monsters, chests, and especially from Treasure Goblins such as the Odious Hoarder.


Non-Salvaged Materials[edit | edit source]

Materials that drop directly from various sources and can not be obtained by salvaging items.

Death's Breath drop when Elite monsters are killed, and also from Golden Chests and Goblins. DBs are highly sought after as they are required on quantity for all sorts of high level gear crafting, as well as in most of the Kanai's Cube recipes.


Horadric Cache Materials. Introduced in Patch 2.3, these materials can only be obtained from the Horadric Caches awarded by Tyrael when a character completes all five bounties in a given act. Many legendary and set item crafting requires require one or more, and two of the most powerful Cube recipes require 1 or 5 each of all these materials, making their farming essential.


Removed: Adventurer's Journal legendary material.

Legendary Materials were removed from the game in Patch 2.0.6. There were several dozen of these special legendary materials, each required for various legendary and set item crafting. As they only dropped from certain unique (purple) elites, they were quite hard to farm and were ultimately removed from the game and the crafting recipes rearranged. Even many patches later, players will still occasionally find an Adventurer's Journal from an in-game item, though this material no longer has any function in the game.


Converting Materials[edit | edit source]

White and Blue materials were perpetually in short supply until Patch 2.3 simplified crafting and increased their drop rate, while also enabling Treasure Goblins to drop large stacks of materials. Patch 2.4 further eased material shortages by adding the Cube recipe, Anger of Iben Fahd. It enables players to convert 100 stacks of white, blue, or yellow materials into each other, as needed.

See Material/Archive for details on the Diablo 3 Vanilla Materials.
