Hotfixes Boost Horadric Cache and Greater Rift Rewards

• Greater Rift Hotfixes - The Greater Rift hotfixes make it easier to jump into the new end-game content, and more rewarding to push through to the more difficult Greater Rifts. At the start, players will now get the Key of Trials faster. The change for Blood Shard rewards should encourage players to farm Greater Rifts for the gambling currency, instead of going back to regular Nephalem Rifts for it.
• Cesspool Hotfixes - The new Cesspools area in Patch 2.1 was supposed to be a fun additional layout for Rifts and Greater Rifts. Unfortunately there have been numerous issues with that particular map. The new hotfixes take care of one of them, by making fewer monsters spawn right at the entrance of a Cesspools map. Many players have very low frames per second issues in the map and other issues, so it has been disabled entirely for the time-sensitive Greater Rifts. We can expect further fixes for this map in a future client patch.
• Boon of the Hoarder - This Legendary gem is a special one, as it only drops from Greed, Baroness of The Vault. The Vault is accessible from the occasional portal accidentally opened by a Treasure Goblin when it is killed. The Boon of the Hoarder gem provides a bonus that starts at 25% chance to cause an explosion of gold when you kill an enemy, which becomes more powerful as it is upgraded. Until this hotfix, kills from pets would not activate the gem. With the change, monsters killed by pets will now also provide that "explosion of gold". This a boost for any class that uses pets, most notably pet Witch Doctors and the very popular Sentry spec Demon Hunters.
• Bounty-specific Legendaries Boosted - Specific Legendary items can only be found in a Horadric Cache, the reward from completing all 5 bounties in a specific Act. The most highly prized of these legendaries is the Ring of Royal Grandeur, with a special property that makes it easier to get powerful set bonuses. Many players have farmed hundreds of Horadric Caches to try to get that ring, since it is essentially required for some of the best gear specs in the game.
  
  The hotfix dramatically boosted the chance of getting Bounty-specific Legendary items like the ring and it now scales up by difficulty. The drop rate is now reportedly 100% for these items in the highest difficulty of Torment 6. This will make it much easier for players to get the ring, along with other Legendary items.
  

Note - if your character is capable - try to do bounties on Torment 2 or higher - you'll have a much higher chance of getting a RRoG.
