{{Archived|June 2014|[[Legendary Materials]]}}
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 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

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.
