Hey All,
Question regarding greater rifts. I know that the loot volume caps at 12 pieces at GR90. What do you gain by going higher than GR90 that outside of experience? Better odds to get ancient or primal gear? I’m just curious if anyone knows for sure.
Nothing extra, maybe a few more shards. But that caps too I think.
Only real difference is the xp.
This ^^^ although I have long suspected that primal drop rates increase when you clear GR100 or higher…
You get more XP and a few (3?) bloodshards extra per GR level.
Item quality odds are unchanged above ~ GR90.
The odds of an item being a primal are the same whether you are doing bounties, GR50 or GR100+.
No it doesn’t. Well, it caps at 577 at GR150. It used to cap at GR42, but the cap was removed in 2.3.0 (before season 4).
Now it’s an additional 3 shards per rift above GR42. E.g. GR100 is 427 shards, GR101 is 430 shards, …, up to GR150 at 577 shards.
XP is an additional 5% XP (multiplicatively) per level above GR70. Enemy HP is 17% multiplicatively per level. Incoming damage is 2.338% multiplicatively per level above GR70.
Some shortcuts: Enemy HP doubles about every 5 levels (a little under actually). XP doubles about every 15 levels. Incoming damage doubles about every 30 levels.
Here is the full table. Health, damage, and XP should be multipliers relative to Normal difficulty.

Seems to me that D3 might be a better game, if XP also capped at GRift ~90.
