More Clarification on Loot from Caches
It seems that Horadric Caches do not have a chance to drop Legendary class-specific set items when obtained from Torment bounties. Just as with Kadala and the loot she has available, Horadric Caches are limited to non-Torment-exclusive Legendary items, which basically means any Legendary item in-game apart from class-specific set items, the new RoS themed sets, and a few other … [Read more...]
Gambling for Legendaries
Patch 2.0.5 Update: Kadala now has a chance to drop Torment-Only Legendaries. There have been some gray areas concerning what items Kadala has available to sell, and whether or not the difficulty level of the game in which you gamble has any effect on the quality of items. Will her items scale with difficulty level? Should I gamble in Torment VI so I have the best chance at … [Read more...]
Stack Those Pools, Baby!
There was an interesting post in the official forums where a player asked if the Pool of Reflection bonus(es) would carry over into Reaper of Souls once the expansion goes live.

Gibbering Gemstone Drop Rate Bug
Many players have recently complained about extremely low drop-rates for the Gibbering Gemstone, which was hard enough to get even when it used to be a 100% drop rate. The gemstone is a required component for the Staff of Herding, and it drops from a rare spawn mob within a rare spawn cave, which means it's already tough to acquire. You can read more about farming the gemstone … [Read more...]
Vanishing Dye Usable on Legendary Items in Patch 1.0.7
Now that Legendary weapons have been buffed to the point where they've become end-game viable, the question stands..."will we ever be able to dye our Legendaries..?" Patch 1.0.7 will take a small step in that direction by allowing players to apply Vanishing Dye to gear that will accept it*, but that's all we're getting in this next patch. *Vanishing Dye can be applied to … [Read more...]
Jay Wilson Speaks
In response to the heated comment he made on Facebook regarding David Brevik's criticism of D3 and Blizzard's dev team (see below), Jay Wilson addressed the Diablo 3 community today with an official apology. The apology itself was a class act - with Jay demonstrating a lot of humility - but even better were the comments that went along with it. In his forum post, Jay … [Read more...]
