Diablo 3 things. Items and equipment. Other items Other items

It is around the items that you can dress your character with that this game revolves. Not the plot, not the leveling, not the gameplay - all these things are not important here. The main thing is who has the coolest gear. The letters to the right of the items indicate classes: m - monk, k - sorcerer, o - demon hunter, v - barbarian, h - sorcerer. Characters of other classes cannot use such items.

• Regular(no magical effects). Items without magic, white or gray, may not be picked up at all, except at the very beginning.
• Magical. Magic ones will live in your arsenal until approximately the end of the first playthrough. Then they are collected only for sale to a merchant.
• Rare- already serious things, it is very likely that you will go through the Inferno with such things. It is rare items that are the most popular at auction.
• Legendary- very controversial subjects. On the one hand, they fall out very, very rarely. It would seem that legendary items should be the best? No matter how it is. Their characteristics are often worse than those of rare ones. However, the best of the legendary items are potentially superior to the best of the rare ones. Look at the characteristics, not the color!
• Set (set). These are the same legendary ones, but if you wear several items from the same set at the same time, you can receive additional magical bonuses, which are indicated in the descriptions. When you have a full set of good set items (not counting weapons - they are usually not very good), this is the best thing you can put on your character. But such items also cost many millions of gold, since they drop out even less frequently than legendary ones.

• Main class characteristic. One point of this characteristic increases one-time damage by 1%. So 2000 will give a 2000% bonus to damage.
• Bonuses from passive skills. They are not displayed in items in any way, of course, but they participate in the calculation of DPS.
• Attacks per second. It has a huge impact on DPS. Needless to say, 2x attacks per second doubles the DPS compared to 1x. However, it is important to understand that the higher this indicator, the faster the resource (mana, rage, etc.) is consumed. However, if you use not too expensive techniques, or have gained bonuses to your recovery speed, then a high attack speed will be a plus for you. But for the most resource-demanding attacks or traps, high one-time damage is more suitable, since the benefit of attacks per second simply does not exist for them.
• Critical Strike Chance and Critical Damage Bonus. These two parameters are tightly intertwined and are of little use without each other. There needs to be a balance here. The more probability and direct bonus to critical damage you gain, the better, and the greater the DPS.

The main component of the Diablo 3 game is farming rare and legendary items. Finding out exactly how to find legendary items in diablo 3 is unrealistic, since there is no specific pattern and chance of this or that item falling out. In Diablo 3, the drop rate of things is not the same as in line 2, for example, which makes it more difficult in terms of farming a certain item. A game auction comes to the rescue in such a situation, which can help you sell an unnecessary legendary item and buy the perfect one for yourself. So far in Diablo you can buy 3 things both for game currency and for real money.

Question 1 about diablo 3: how to find legendary items?

In Diablo 3, only those players who know how to quickly knock out items in the shortest possible time are engaged in selling legendary rank items. The essence of such farming is to find the most suitable locations and acts. Locations are selected exclusively with the presence of a large number of elite monsters, since they most often drop legendary items. In the latest patch 1.0.5, the game introduced the ability to change the strength of monsters, which significantly increased the drop of legendaries. What's the salt in this? Each level of monster power increases the monster's strength, amount of life, and chance of dropping rare items.

In diablo 3, traders with high level characters can easily set monster strength to level 5 and have a high MF level (Magic Find). Thus, in Diablo 3, the chances of dropping a legendary item are much higher, although this item will not always cost 10+ million. On Diablo 3 game sites you can often find topics discussing item drops. In general, it all comes down to luck and the speed of clearing locations. In Diablo 3, the sale of items of each rank depends on the characteristics that the item has. You should not rejoice immediately after knocking out a legendary item, since in fact it may turn out to be just another piece of bullshit that is better to be dismantled for materials. Also in Diablo 3, selling goods obtained from dismantling legendary items can fill your pockets well, so I do not recommend giving garbage legendary items to the vendor.

Question 2 about diablo 3: how to find legendary items and sell them effectively?

After receiving a Legendary, first of all, make sure that it is suitable for the auction. At any time, look at the market where in diablo 3 a merchant is selling a brown item for coins. In patch 1.0.5, it became possible to compare items, so you can see if an item is worth a few pennies. Whenever checking an item for sale, use the characteristics below your item in the search. This method will allow you to study the cost of an item as efficiently as possible. In Diablo 3, you can buy things both for gold and for real money, but you shouldn’t get carried away and throw any garbage at a real auction. I don’t see any point in arguing with Diablo 3 about the drop rate of things, since sometimes 2-3 legendaries can drop in an hour, and sometimes you can spend several sleepless days without any loot.

Question 3 about diablo 3: how to get legendary items quickly?

Farm, farm and farm again. Check each act, each difficulty, in turn. After such long runs, compare the loot for each option and only then start diligently farming the most profitable place. In dablo 3, merchants primarily need set items, so pay more attention to exactly those places where they were knocked out the most. To quickly clear the levels of diablo 3 you need to have good equipment, so do not think about legendaries until you reach the maximum level of dps.

True, it all depends on your determination and the time allocated to obtain the necessary things. In Diablo 3, you can buy things with maximum MF characteristics for pennies, but do not forget about the priority characteristics of the character, without which it will be very difficult to kill elite monsters. For convenience, at first it is best to combine MF and priority characteristics (main stat, resistance, crit chance). At the moment, it is easiest to farm rare items in Act 3 with 1 monster power, since such a run takes about an hour of time, and there is always a lot of drops (there will not always be a legendary, but a few yellow items are also good). Then, if you wish, you can sell gold in Diablo 3 or buy yourself the necessary equipment.

With the release of patch 2.3, Diablo 3 has more legendary items than ever before. And although the chance of their drop was increased a long time ago, knocking out the much-coveted “Crucible” from the demons is hardly easier. The addition of Kanai's Cube also adds another source of Legendaries to the game alongside Kadala, but which one is better?

Legendary items may be even more common in Diablo 3 than in World of Warcraft, but the goal for the end game in both games is the same: get more loot that will be better than the items you have equipped.

WoW wants to correct us and says: “Getting loot is more beautiful,” while Diablo 3 grins and responds: “You can only dream about my transmog system.” But while WoW guides players down the One True Path to obtaining the best gear, Diablo 3 gives players multiple ways to earn Legendaries.

As we know, players will find the “best” solution for everything. There are two main methods for obtaining a specific Legendary item in Diablo 3, and below we will delve into the calculations behind each of them to determine which method is better depending on what you are trying to get.

Tables for theorycraft

While browsing the Diablo class subreddits, you'll often come across this table, although I think the alternate version is a little more useful, as it contains comparisons of not only drop rates or the number of Blood Shards required, but also the approximate number of Death's Breaths required.

And since it is based on the first table, it also corrects information about some items. For example, the Summoner's Thorns armor set used to be multi-class, but with the release of patch 2.3 it began to drop only for crusaders. A later version of the table corrects this small difference in patches along with other changes, which in turn slightly affects the share figures.

The easiest metric to understand is Legendary Drop Rate, which reflects the likelihood of the item being the one we're looking for if a Legendary drop occurs.

It is calculated by dividing the “weight” of the desired legendary item by the sum of all “weights” of legendary items of the same type. Item types can be huge categories of equipment shared by multiple classes, such as shoulder pads; or they can only combine class items, like voodoo masks (which can only be equipped by a sorcerer). The “weight” of an item essentially means its rarity: the lower it is, the less common the item is.

You've probably noticed that you, for example, come across more gidbinns and "Last Breaths" among ceremonial knives than the much-coveted star metal kukris. Looking at the Raw Data post you will notice that the gidbinn has a "weight" of 100, while the star metal kukri is the rarest ceremonial knife with a "weight" of only 25.

So let's take ceremonial knives as an example. I want a Dart Dagger (DC) to complete my Evil Carnival Mask build, so I want to know what the chance is that when I drop a Ceremonial Knife I'll get a DC?

To do this, take the “weight” of the AC equal to 50, and divide it by the total “weight” of ceremonial knives equal to 575 - we get 0.0869, or 8.69% chance.

Now let’s take into account that Kadala’s things follow the same calculations, but her categories are larger. Ceremonial knives fall into the category of one-handed weapons, and therefore when rolling the dice at Kadala, we also need to take into account all other one-handed weapons that the sorcerer can use. The final “weight” becomes 3325:

Ceremonial knives = 575
- One-handed axes = 550
- Daggers = 350
- One-handed maces = 650
- Spears = 200
- One-handed swords = 1000

Therefore, the chance of receiving a dagger-javelin (with a “weight” of 50), from the entire selection of one-handed weapons available to the sorcerer, is 50/3325 or 1.50%.

To consolidate the material, let's calculate the chance of getting an evil carnival mask. Since Voodoo Masks, like Ceremonial Knives, are class items, the drop rate for this particular mask will be similar - 50/550 or 9.09%.

But voodoo masks are also a subtype of helmets, which, however, are slightly smaller than the one-handed weapons from the previous example. Thus, the chance of receiving an evil carnival mask from Kadala is approximately 3.70%.

Calculating the cost of items

You may get lucky and get the item you're looking for in your first few attempts, or you may only get the Legendary you want at the end of the season.

The formula for calculation is as follows: 100 / drop chance from Kadala * Item price from Kadala * 10.

Since our drop rates are percentages, they have a 100-try factor, so we'll flip the fraction to find out how many 100-try chances we'll need on average to get the Legendary we need.

Of course, each attempt will cost Kadala a certain number of Blood Shards, so we will multiply the final number of 100 attempts by the cost of the category in which we tried to obtain the item.

The drop rates we looked at earlier were based on the fact that the item in question was a Legendary item to begin with. Kadala doesn't guarantee that you'll get a legendary: she can fill your entire inventory with junk - literally and figuratively - and she won't care. It has a 10% chance of giving you a legendary item, which ultimately gives us another multiplier in addition to the variables we already have.

So, if I'm trying to get a Dart Dagger, on average I'll have to spend a little less than 50,000 Blood Shards (calculations would be: 100/0.0150 (Kadala Chance) * 75 Blood Shards * 10 = 49,875 Blood Shards). To put that into perspective, that's 57 times more shards than I've gotten so far with my seasonal heroic character. Well it will be for you! This price is peanuts compared to the cost of a Star Metal Kukri, which will cost you an average of 99,750 Shards!

The evil carnival mask has a higher chance - twice as high as the dagger-dart! Everything is even better, the price in bloody shards for a helmet is only 25 units, which is three times less than the price for a one-handed weapon. Therefore, on average, it will take you about 6,750 shards to get an evil carnival mask.

Kanai, please don't skimp on weapons.

Unlike Kadala, this type of item will be narrowly targeted, and therefore, if you put in a rare voodoo mask, you will get a legendary voodoo mask as a result. This makes this method well suited for weapon loot, as instead of rolling dice for the entire range of one-handed weapons available to you, the game will only choose from, for example, one-handed swords.

The only drawback of the method is its cost - 25 breaths of death. Calculating the average cost for Breath of Death will be the same as with Bloodshards, but since we're guaranteed to get a Legendary at the end, we don't have to multiply everything by the Legendary drop rate.

The formula will be: 100/drop chance * 25 (fixed number of breath of death).

Getting an evil carnival mask (with a 9.09% chance) will take on average 275 breaths of death, while getting a dagger dart will require you to spend about half an attempt more - 288 breaths of death. If you gamble among smaller categories like two-handed staves, then, for example, on “Soothsayer Su Wong” you will spend even less breath of death - 163 pieces on average.

Conclusion: Kadala vs. Kanai

Specific items like weapons and class equipment are best obtained from Kanai, as you'll either be rolling the dice for a small category or a limited list of the total number of items.

For example, there are seven legendary two-handed maces, but a sorcerer can only equip five of them. Kanai's main problem with gambling is the general rarity of an item for its category. This means that the sorcerer’s chances of getting the “Crucible” are not 1 in 5: the “weight” of this legendary mace means that you will still have to spend about 375 breaths of death on average.

Rings and amulets are not profitable to obtain using any of the methods. Since there are few class jewelry to reduce the lists of available rings and amulets, they will be expensive for Kanai.

Kadala is also not particularly generous with jewelry, because rings cost 50 bloody shards, and amulets as much as 100. Truly rare items, like the same “Crucible,” will also be expensive when using any of the above methods.

It's no secret that almost all of the legendary items in Diablo 3 are trash right now. Finally, with patch 1.0.4 this situation will change. We study new characteristics and get acquainted with new products. How do you like level 63 legendaries?)

Shortly after the release of Diablo III, many of you commented on the topic of Legendary Items. Most of the reviews were pretty harsh - but fair. The legendary items that currently exist in the game mostly look like rare items with the name simply highlighted in a different color. You pointed this out to us and we decided to take action.

We've worked tirelessly to make Legendary items truly Legendary. Update 1.0.4 will introduce new Legendary items, and today I will tell you about the upcoming changes.

Let's look at what most dissatisfied both you and us, and what we did to improve the situation.

Legendary items should feel unique

Many players rightly noted that legendary items do not provide a sense of uniqueness. There were a lot of famous items in Diablo II that everyone wanted to get their hands on. These items were called unique. Now they are called legendary, but while working on them, we tried to keep the word “unique” in mind. Given the extreme rarity of Legendary items, as well as the fact that they are highlighted in a special color, we think they should have a feeling of something special. When you find a legendary item, you shouldn't feel like it's just some ordinary sword. Legendary items should have their own history. Legendary items must be associated with some powerful image - for example, a powerful sorcerer creates this item in a secret section of his library and spends his days weaving special magic into it.

Part of this feeling can come from equipping an item and seeing that it looks unique and different from all the other items. Artists literally tied themselves into knots to make legendary items look truly epic in update 1.0.4. But we will return to this a little later.

And to make legendary items even more unique, we've built spells into some of them. Over 50 items now have their own spells! Here are some of them.

Now players will be able to take revenge on rare and elite monsters, as monster affixes will appear on legendary items. This is just an example.

With this you can force monsters to fight each other, similar to the spellcaster skill.

Not only will you look cool in them, but you will also be able to leave a trail of fire behind you and lure monsters into this trap.

A pillar of light rushes from heaven to earth, and a real angel comes to your aid! A worthy ally.

There are also just cool things. Everyone wants to be like Khom. When you put on these pants, you will be surrounded by a cloud of gas, and nearby enemies will definitely feel it!

With this sword you may be able to summon a demon to help you. But this demon is not as simple as it seems! It has the Chains of Fire affix, and these chains bind you to the demon. Ho-ho!

There will be more options for character development
Because Legendary items are unique, we can add different options to them that cannot be added to regular items. One of the main goals of Diablo III in general and the skill and rune system in particular is to offer many options for character development. And legendary items will help with this.

In update 1.0.4 we will be adding several items that suit a specific set of skills. This way, you can try new options for character development. The point is for the player to look at the item and think: “Well, why not?” These items may not provide the maximum damage boost, but they will help you think differently about your class and help you choose a playstyle that suits you.

Some people would like to play as a barbarian thrower. Good idea! Here you are.

A popular suggestion is for the sorcerer to be able to fight in close combat. We must assume that this rod will not remain unclaimed.

Of course, many sorcerers love to summon various creatures... and this item will help them! In update 1.0.4, the sorcerer's pets will be strengthened, and we think that this item will come in handy for more than one sorcerer.

The choice should be interesting
With power comes responsibility. There are affixes in the game that can upset the balance if you equip too many items with such affixes. How to do it so as not to break the wood?

A good example is "Golden Skin". It increases the amount of gold dropped by enemies by 100%. In addition, with each hit, there is a chance that enemies will drop gold. Not bad, right? However, the Golden Skin will be missing key stats. Instead, the “skin of gold” (!) will have resistances, as well as other affixes that reduce damage taken. This way, you will have several options on how to benefit from this item. You'll have to look for other items with the right stats if you want to get your hands on all that shiny gold. Calculating characteristics on objects is not an easy task, and solving it is always interesting.

Respect for elders
Diablo III carries over many items from previous games in the series. However, they are often nothing like their predecessors, except for the name. This was probably wrong - many items turned out to be useless. We scrutinized how the current legendary items correspond to their “ancestors”; it’s not for nothing that they have this or that name. In some cases, we even made these items better than the original.

We've paid homage to the original: now all arrows fired from a crossbow have a certain chance of ignoring enemy defenses.

They must be powerful
At one time, we deliberately weakened some affixes of legendary items so as not to upset the game balance. But in the end, the items simply became useless. For example, if an item is level 50, then the first affix will always be level 50, the second - 47, and the third - 43. This was done to compensate for the presence of guaranteed affixes and introduce an element of randomness into item generation. However, we have concluded that this is not necessary. We'll be fine with legendary items being powerful. Thus, we decided to remove penalties when generating affixes. Let's say a level 50 legendary item had a guaranteed power affix. Previously, in such a situation, the item would add an amount of power similar to a level 45 item. Now guaranteed affixes will be generated in accordance with the item level.

In addition, legendary items could be, at most, level 62, which meant that finding weapons with good damage was almost impossible. Now the situation has changed. We decided to introduce a ton of new legendary items into the game, and they can be level 63. This means they have a chance for the best affixes in the game.

Two-handed weapons will also be improved in update 1.0.4. Of course, this also applies to legendary items.

Here's a good example.

About the rest
These are the main changes to legendary items that will appear in update 1.0.4. But there are a few more important points.

Only forward! We remind you: the changes will only affect those items that will be obtained after the release of update 1.0.4. This also applies to unidentified items (as they are generated when dropped). Since we decided to make very large changes, we cannot match old items and new items with 100% accuracy. If affixes on items are regenerated, some items may become worse, while others may become better.

Some things still don't change. Some items are already good enough and don't need to be upgraded. For example, a command helmet. It will not be affected by changes in update 1.0.4.

What about kits? Items from the set whose names are highlighted in green are actually legendary (they just have set bonuses in addition). This includes everything we said about legendary items. In addition, some set bonuses will be changed - they will become more significant. Many of the items in the set will also be level 63.

New kit names. Since set bonuses for existing items will remain the same, new sets will have new names (this also applies to set items). This way, it will be possible to distinguish between items obtained before and after the update was released.

Crafted legendary items. If you already have a design for a Legendary item and that item is being modified, you will not have to mine or purchase a new design for the same item. After the release of update 1.0.4, you will be able to create modified items using the old sketch.

Thank you for your feedback! We are very interested in what you have to say about the new legendary items that will appear in update 1.0.4. Stay tuned for future updates on update 1.0.4 - we will publish them regularly.

Yes, and more!
I'm very proud of how everyone worked together to make these changes. This was our common cause. When we first discussed how to improve legendary items, the artists really liked your ideas and gave it their all. And the items turned out just great! You will see some of these transformations in the video. And it also shows new affixes that are triggered with some probability when hit.
