When you have 2000+ DB’s and less than 100 of Reusables/Dust/Crystals, you know somethng is really wrong.
It’s time we had a “convert Death’s Breaths” cube recipe.

It’s not blizzards fault if you only pickup legendaries and refuse to pickup white, blue and yellow items so that you will have more reusables/dust/crystals then what you know what to do with

It’s inefficient to pickup yellow items. I pickup every white item that I come across generally since they salvage into soo many and excess can be changed via the cube. Since yellows break down to 1 Veiled Crystal, I don’t often grab them except at the start of the season. DB’s used to be a lot harder to gather in large quantities but with being able to equip the follower with Sage’s set, I have an abundance of DB’s for the past few seasons.

I pick up everything until I’m fully geared to complete the journey.
So quit pulling “facts” out from where the sun don’t shine, and get a clue.

As someone who picks 99% of everything up…
Season:
- 6.8k Parts
- 9.5k Dust
- 8.7 Crystal
- 1k DB
Non-Season:
- 70k Parts
- 76k Dust
- 55k Crystal
- 37k DB
…I’d like the opposite cube recipe.

I’m probably done with D3 since I already finished the season journey and ethereal achievement, but while I was playing, reusable parts are the worst. I was constantly out of them. On the other hand, I salvaged numerous ethereals which give a lot of DBs. I ended with thousands of DBs I never used.
Level 70 ethereals give over 100 DB per salvage. The lower level ones I got numerous duplicates of I think also gave maybe 40+. On top of that, the emanating set that gives bonuses of them makes it easy to farm DBs fast. You may get dozens of DBs per rift and barely any parts even if you pick up the few whites that drop.
I also find having to do a white/blue/yellow mat shuffle in the cube obnoxious 100 at a time. It’s also odd that you get more yellow and blue mats from a rift boss and like 2 reusable parts. The “common” material is by far the least common in rifts. If they’re going to balance what should be the most common mat around the fact that you can shuffle the mats in the cube, why not just merge all 3 of those mats into one?
It’s more likely that you’ve been salvaging ethereals, and that can result in lots of DBs.

An easy way to get dust,crystal,parts is to farm cow level t16 and pick-up everything. Or ancient puzzle rings. I did it all the time and it works.

Stop rerolling every trash item you get…

Or stop having Sage’s on follower?
If you flapped your gums less and paid attention more, you’d know that.
(To use your own quote).

The number DBs are too damn high!

Just pick up stuff.
Inventory is almost big enough to carry all that drops in a rift. When rift closes, you must wait 30 secs anyways. Plenty of time to empty inventory of whites, blues and yellows…
Before emanate, DB’s and souls were a bottleneck for me.
Now, DB’s are less of a bottleneck.
Never had whites, blues or yellows be a bottleneck for me other than season start.

One of the reasons people end up with so many DBs is because the cube recipe for upgrading rare items has a horrible percentage for success. The vast majority of what you get is instantly salvaged garbage. If you use it much you get an excess of forgotten souls and burn through 50 of each material except only 25 death’s breaths. If you don’t use it because it’s pointless you end up with an excess of death’s breaths. Since death’s breaths aren’t used for crafting at the forge and barely for gem crafting you don’t need many outside the cube either.
Unless you won’t…
Okay that’s rude but it is funny

Good for you, however some of us grind the old fashioned way…not done for us.
And some of us actually use the enchant & rare upgrade feature, especially when you’re gearing all 7 classes in preparation for the Ethereal grind.
Maybe when you stop talking out from where the sun don’t shine…
Got a primal Yang on my 6th bow-upgrade try, so I can’t complain too much 
.
Also got a nice flail with an extremely helpful leg power that greatly assisted me in levelling & gearing during the early grind.
A lot of players don’t play that long past season start in D3. Whites are almost always a bottleneck for me when I actually bother playing a D3 season at all since I usually don’t play D3 longer than a week.
Done for us?
So do I.
You’re strangely defensive in just about every thread you post in. Even to my innocuous wish to convert mats to DBs.

Congratulations. Someone wins the lottery every time too. Eventually 
I’m pulling my facts from experience and I pickup everything all the time and don’t stop when my character is fully geared
and if you stop picking up after you are geared what on earth are you wasting the components on seeing as you no longer need them because hey your fully geared so why you need them
So why stop picking them up if you apparently don’t need them any more but crying because you haven’t got enough even though you don’t need them but you do

For sure. Gaining mundane crafting mats is very tedious.
