RotRG could possibly be the best item in the game, and having it drop only from ACT1 bounties is quite problamatic in my opnion... I would like to enjoy the diversity of the game while farming it, so maybe having it drop from cache's rewarded from all acts is a nice idea? Would like to hear your opinions on this

This is something that our developers are actually considering, although they haven't made any decisions yet (more on that below). Wyatt Cheng was also touching this subject a bit in our last Tavern Talk livestream, where he acknowledged that you can get burnt out quickly if you spend all of your time doing bounties just trying to farm the Ring of Royal Grandeur.

The developers are considering different ways to alleviate the focus on just doing Bounties in one act over and over again. As an example, here are a few of the ways this could potentially be achieved:

  • The Ring of Royal Grandeur could drop from Horadric Caches in any act
  • The ring could be moved to the global drop table, allowing it to drop almost anywhere in the game
  • It could be tied to the bonus acts, so that the ring drops when you do one of the bonus acts of the day (the ones that currently give bonus Blood Shards)


These are only three ideas of many, but the developers generally think there could be lots of interesting ways to encourage more diversity when doing Bounties.

Here is a question to kick off the discussion; If you had the powers to create better incentives for doing a variety of Bounties across all five acts, how would you do it?
