+
All special droppable legendary materials were abruptly and controversially removed from the game in [[Patch 2.0.6]]. See below.
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.
+
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 Material Drop Rates==
+
==Legendary Materials: Salvageable==
 
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.
 
  
* [[Normal]]: 15%
+
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.
* [[Hard]]: 18%
 
* [[Expert]]: 21%
 
* [[Master]]: 25%
 
* [[Torment 1]]: 31%
 
* [[Torment 2]]: 37%
 
* [[Torment 3]]: 44%
 
* [[Torment 4]]: 53%
 
* [[Torment 5]]: 64%
 
* [[Torment 6]]: 77%
 
The same drop rates apply to [[Death's Breaths]], though they have many more possible drop sources.
 
  
 +
* [[Fiery Brimstone]] -- Level 1-60.
 +
* [[Forgotten Soul]] -- Level 61-70.
  
==Legendary Materials==
+
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.
  
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 Reaper 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.
+
==Infernal Machine Legendary Materials==
  
* Bounties for Uniques are a surest way to farm legendary materials since the target will always be there.
+
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.
** No Uniques are set for a bounty every game, but some are fairly common, and some are found in a fixed location every single game, making for the easiest farming options.
+
* Diablo 3 has just 3 keys, 1 Machine, and 3 Ubers for 3 Organs. That info is also covered in the [[Infernal Machine]] article.
* Bounty and fixed location targets are noted in the table below.
 
** Targets not noted as bounty or fixed spawn randomly, and will only appear every few games.
 
* Monsters listed are confirmed to drop the materials. Others may drop but are not yet confirmed. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?850970-The-RoS-Legendary-Crafting-Material-Challenge Feedback in the forum thread] is welcomed.

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 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:

<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.

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.

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 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.

Legend:

  • 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.)
  • Item Set: Bonuses for equipping more than one item from this item set.
  • Inherent Affixes: Affixes always found on that item. (May be enchanted.)

Monsters listed are confirmed to drop the materials. Others may drop but are not yet confirmed. Feedback in the forum thread is welcomed.
