I’m sure it’s just because I’m having a dumb attack. But I went right into Reaper, and then after completing it, wanted either to do Diablo III original or the Rise of the Warlocks, or whatever it’s called. How do I access those games?
Thanks to all who responded. As I feared, I was destroyed by my own stupidity. That’s what happens when 63-year-olds venture into the realms populated by younger, more capable, denizens.
Reference Battle Chest on the Blizzard Shop: https://us.shop.battle.net/en-gb/product/diablo-iii?p=388
(click on image to enlarge it)
The Battle Chest contains only Diablo III (base) and Reaper of the Souls expansion; it does not contain the Necromancer.
?? not sure what you mean… Diablo III original is included in Reaper of Souls. It’s all seamless, there are no separate package.
Yes there is you have to click the ROS and it do a upgrade. OH wait blizzard doesn’t show that upgrade or tell you that on their site. What that upgrade does finish giving you the last character slots and a pet. Plus it will cost you another $20 too.
Go to battle-net and click on D3 the go down the page and click ROS. Then click on the ROS Digital Deluxe. It well tell two thing you already have everything or it will say you need to do a upgrade.you
Plus the original game is the story line. The ROS is the Adv mode.
Diablo 3 base games story is act 1 to act 4.
Reaper of souls brings act 5 and the crusader class and some new features.
The necromancer dlc only contains the necromancer class.
Minor correction: necromancer DLC gives you two extra stash tabs.
That’s the way it has always been. Once you have Reaper of Souls you have the complete game, Acts I through V.
The “original” D3 is Campaign Mode Acts I through IV. RoS is Campaign Mode Act V. Adventure Mode is endgame content and Seasons.
If you want to play the storyline again from the beginning:
Rise of the Necromancer
As others have said: RotN is not an expansion. It adds the Necromancer Class. It lets you play the Necromancer. It also gives you 2 extra Stash Tabs, 2 extra Character Slots and some Cosmetics.
When you purchase ANY Diablo III product, you get EVERYTHING. Whatever you didn’t pay for is just locked out.
The Battle Chest gives you Diablo III: Reaper of Souls. All you’re missing is Rise of the Necromancer and Reaper of Souls Digital Deluxe, which are both optional.
You could have purchased the Eternal Collection for $10 more and had access to everything.
Upgrading RoS to Digital Deluxe will get you 3 extra Character Slots and some Cosmetics. The Digital Deluxe is a separate purchase and NOT included in any of the D3 bundles.

I guess I was trying to keep this simple… and short… it had been a long day and it was past my bedtime.
I thought it more important to point out that the Battle Chest did not include the Necromancer and that… strictly speaking… one cannot play the original Diablo once RoS has been bought.
Yeah… one can play only Campaign mode in Acts I to IV… but what does one do when he reaches level 61 and ilvl 61 items (weapon, armour, gems) start dropping… that ain’t the original Diablo any more.
Anyways… perhaps @SilentStorm only wanted to know how to play Campaign mode… which is what I was trying to get at when I wrote:
Best of luck in your games to all !
Oops! I knew that. (Just woke up. Haven’t even made my morning coffee yet. I better go do that, but I’ll edit my previous post first).
Thanks.
No it doesn’t you still have to do the upgrade with ROS digital deluxe. I had one account that I got the Eternal Collection. It didn’t have the last three character slots, pet and what ever that upgrade will give you.
The RoS Digital Deluxe upgrade DOES NOT add any new game content or new Character Class. It only gives you 3 extra Character Slots and some Cosmetics.
The Eternal Collection gives you:
That’s “access to everything.”
And, if you read my entire post, I ended with:
Didn’t we just have a topic on the missing character slots. Plus you get 3 slots not 2 and a pet. I when through this with support. Plus people might want those slots. So in a way don’t get everything.
You’re correct. It’s 3 Character Slots with the Digital Deluxe upgrade.
My point was that the Eternal Collection gives you everything related to the game itself, including Classes. Upgrading RoS to the DD is just some extra Cosmetics.

You right too, but if you want the whole ball of wax. You have paid the extra $20 for 3 slots and a Pet. LOL The sad part is you pay 39.99 for the best one. Then find out WOW I have to pay another $20 to get all the character slots and a pet. That is really the SAD PART!!!
