Each Horadric Cache contains a semi-random assortment of crafting [[materials]], [[gems]], Nephalem [[Rift Keystone Fragments]], a Rare item, and may also contain [[Blood Shards]], crafting plans or designs, and 1-3 rare, set , or legendary items.   ==Cache Drops Determined== There has been much debate about when and how the contents of a Horadric Cache are determined. Initially when RoS launched the cache contents were fixed when the cache was opened. This fact was exploited by players who gathered caches on [[Normal]] difficulty, then opened them in [[Torment 6]] to get much larger stacks of gold, to increase the legendary drop rate, and potentially Imperial gems as well. Blizzard promptly fixed this exploit and made it so Caches were set to the difficulty they were farmed/earned on, which became more important when [[Patch_2.0.5#Adventure_Mode|Patch 2.0.5]] boosted the legendary drop rate of caches farmed on Torment 2+.  While the difficulty level of the cache is set when farmed, the actual items in the cache are set when it is opened, and the [[smart loot]] will target the class of the character who opens it. Thus players can farm caches with their fastest character, then open them with another character who will find the loot in the cache themed to them; class-restricted items and especially the [[mainstat]] and other item affixes.<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blizzard-tracker/devthread/us/13348454718 Horadric Cache drops] - Grimiku forum post, 5/07/2014</ref> <blue>I tend to farm all of my Horadric Caches with one class, but I open them up with the other characters who still need a Ring of Royal Grandeur.

Each game in Adventure Mode has five randomly-selected bounties per act. Completing all five in any of the Acts will allow all players in the game to collect a Horadric Cache from Tyrael. Everyone in the game gets a cache regardless of where they are or if they assisted in any of the bounties, and [[split farming]] is a popular strategy to obtain more caches quickly. Multiple players in the game spread outto do different bounties each, even clearing different acts at the same time, to complete all of the bounties as quickly as possible.

Split Farming was epidemic during the Reaper of Souls [[beta ]] when every bounty completed awarded a small Horadric Cache, and all five in an act granted a large Horadric Cache. Blizzard adjusted that system so that the individual bounties only granted exp and gold, and only that to players in the area when the bounty is completed. But since Caches still go to everyone in the game, split farming remains a viable strategy, especially in Act One where the [[Ring of Royal Grandeur]] is the most sought after legendary item in the entire game.

A through study was undertaken by Diablo.IncGamers.com in early April 2014, when 102 bags gathered on Normal difficulty were opened (on video) and the contents recorded.

* [[Marquise ]] Gems: 255 (2.5 per bag)

** [[Reusable Parts]]: 347 (3.47 per bag)** [[Arcane Dust]]: 255 (2.55 per bag)** [[Veiled Crystal]]: 30 (.3 per bag)* [[Rift Key Fragments]]: 202 (2 per bag)* Health [[Potions]]: 154 (1.54 per bag)* [[Blood Shards]]: 25 (1 per 4 bags).

* [[Legendary ]] Items: 11 (1 every 9 bags)* [[Crafting ]] Plans: 0 (Very rare drop, depending on how many plans your Smith doesn't already know.)
