Legendary specific materials too hard to find(1)Category: GeneralMarch-30-2014 6:41 AM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I have been farming various legendary specific materials and I'm considering them too hard to find.

Crafts that cost max level gems are already obscenely expensive, but you also need the regular mats (2x legendary, some blue, some yellow) and the white item (which can be relatively hard to find on its own). And then, if you DO manage to get all this together AND find the legendary specific material, you still need to be really lucky for the item to be worth keeping and not just salvage-right-away trash.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who things the legendary specific materials should have their droprates increased by roughly 1000%.

Remember, legendaries are rare drops; acquiring them through crafting, should be almost as rare as dropping them.


Craftable legendaries should not be common in comparison to dropped legendaries, so what you say is quite true. It should be said though, that we are looking at the drop rates of the legendary crafting materials, because we feel that these may possibly be a tad too low right now.

Alright, as I mentioned yesterday, we are looking into the drop rates of legenday crafting materials and it has been decided that these should be brought more in line with the drop rates of Death's Breath, which are as follows:
  • Normal - 15%
  • Hard - 18%
  • Expert - 21%
  • Master - 25%
  • Torment 1 - 31%
  • Torment 2 - 37%
  • Torment 3 - 44%
  • Torment 4 - 53%
  • Torment 5 - 64%
  • Torment 6 - 77%
  • These new legendary crafting materials drop rates will be implemented in an upcoming patch we're planning on releasing soon :-)
