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.

Bounties for Uniques are a surest way to farm legendary materials since the target will always be there.
- 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.
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. Feedback in the forum thread is welcomed.

Key:

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.)

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.

Fiery Brimstone -- Level 1-60.
Forgotten Soul -- Level 61-70.

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.

See the Whimsyshire article for full details.
