Torment refers to the highest six ten levels of [[difficulty ]] in Diablo 3 (as of [[D3v2]]) and [[Reaper of Souls]]. There are six The game officially designates Torment levels of Torment, officially designated with Roman Numerals, but often expressed by fans while players generally use T#, much as Torment 1 - Torment 6 or abbreviated they use GR# to refer to T1-T6. The higher levels the level of Torment do not unlock any additional content; they just increase the difficulty and rewards that first become available on Torment 1. (This changed slightly in Patch 2.0.5 when some extra rewards were added for T2-T6 play.)[http://diablo.incgamers[Greater Rift]].com/blog/comments/official-diablo-3-2-0-5-patch-notes]

There were initially just six levels, Torment 1-6, until [[Patch 2.3]] in August 2015 added Torment VII up through Torment X, to preserve some challenge in the face of [[power creep]]. There are no content changes as players move up into the higher levels of Torment. The game remains the same, but players will find more and better items and other rewards, and higher difficulty increases monster hit points, damage, experience value, gold dropped, and more.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/official-diablo-3-2-0-5-patch-notes] The Torment difficulties mark the real [[end game]] goal for most players. Only on Torment can the best items ([[Torment-only]]) be found, only on Torment can ingredients of the [[Infernal Machine]] drop, and the general difficulty and rewards accelerate to a pace that experienced players desire. It is can be a challenge to gear up to survive on in higher levels of Torment, especially for [[Hardcore]] players, but most players consider the struggle worth it.

Players have put together lists with approximate values, based on [[PTR]] and [[Live]] testing. All figures are estimates based on testing, until Blizzard releases concrete numbers.[http://www.diabloii.net/blog/comments/patch-2-3-torment-difficulty-undocumented-buffs]   ===Legendary Drop Rate Bonuses===

Running the [[Infernal Machine]] to obtain a [[Hellfire Ring]] is more complicated in the new system. There are now four keysDeath's Breath drop odds from elites, rather than just threetreasure goblins, and four portals with four Demonic Organs required to create golden chests:* Torment 1-5: 10-60% * Torment 6: 75%* Torment 7: 90%* Torment 8: 100% and 5% chance of a Hellfire Ringsecond DB. One benefit is that players can now specify which portal they create, so if just one Organ is needed, * Torment 9: 100% and 10% chance of a player can go after just that one, instead second DB.* Torment 10: 100% and 20% chance of simply opening a random portal and hoping to get the one they wantsecond DB.

==Crafting Patch 2.3 reworked the Infernal Machine, changing the KeyWardens into "MachineWardens" who now drop the Machines directly. Previous, players had to accumulate 1 of each of the 4 keys and Materials==convert those into each type of Infernal Machine.
