(Legendary Materials: Droppable)
Line 1: Line 1:
Legendary and other [[materials]] in Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls. This page s under construction and will soon be streamlined and reformatted.

[[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.
  
===White Materials===
 
  
Salvage from gray and white items. 2-6 per salvage.
+
==Legendary Material Drop Rates==
* [[Common Debris]] -- Level 1-60.
 
* [[Reusable Parts]] -- Level 61-70.
 
 
 
 
 
===Blue Materials===
 
 
 
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===
 
 
 
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.
 
* [[Demonic Essence]] --  Level 1-60.
 
* [[Death's Breath]] -- Level 61-70.
 
 
 
 
 
===Removed Materials===
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
Blue obsolete materials.
 
* [[Shimmering Essence]]
 
* [[Subtle Essence]]
 
* [[Wishful Essence]]
 
 
 
Yellow obsolete materials.
 
* [[Fallen Tooth]]
 
* [[Lizard Eye]]
 
* [[Encrusted Hoof]]
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
===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.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
===Legendary Material Drop Rates===
 
 
   
 
   
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]].
+
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 same drop rates apply to [[Death's Breaths]], though they have many more possible drop sources.

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.
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
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.
 
  
 +
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.

Revision as of 20:26, 25 April 2014

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

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%
  • 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.


Legendary Materials

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.

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, 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 at any moment a ring or amulet might require a dozen or more enchants to get the perfect affix.


Infernal Machine Legendary 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.


Staff of Herding Legendary Materials

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.
