These two items are dropping for my group and I have seen them multiple times through a discord stream from my party members. I am unable to see or loot them. I have not looted them previously this season. I have all other items except these two which was especially strange since the plans are not “rare”. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
This Season I was extremely lucky.
I got:
Plan: Staff of Herding | First try | |
Gibbering Gemstone | First try | |
Black Mushroom | Second try | |
Leoric’s Shinbone | Second try | |
Liquid Rainbow | Fourth try | |
Wirt’s Bell | Bought from Squirt (Obviously) |
Make sure you’re farming Izual for the Plan. (Not Urzael or Malthael).
And, I know you don’t want to hear this, but this is not a bug.
Yeah, it’s just bad luck, unfortunately.
Black Mushroom was like 10th or 12th try for me. Gibbering was 1st, as was the Shinbone and Liquid Rainbow. The bottleneck for me was the plan from Izual this season. It took a lot of boss kills. I’d estimate at least 20, perhaps closer to 30. It might have been more but I zoned out for most of it.
Yeah, I needed like 20 kills this season for the plan to drop from Izual, too.
Funnily, I got both A1 Staff items in the same game, like 3rd remake.
Gibbering and Liquid Rainbow item in the same game as well. Like 15th remake.
Then just chainkilling Izual for the plan…
Based on that sentence,
The plans and gibbering are personal loot, meaning the drops from the kills are different for each player in a group. So they are not guaranteed to drop for everyone in a group.
Conversely, the mushroom, liquid rainbow, and leorics shin are all group drops. They will drop for everyone in the group.
Welcome to Diablo 3. The gemstone took years to get before season 28. If you get the items and the plans and make the staff at the blacksmith on one season then consider yourself lucky!
Enjoy… there is always one item that will not drop. As for Multiplayer, only one person can get the gemstone at a time. So run several times for all members. As for the staff it has to be created, what is called crafted and the plans have to be given as the same as the of the blacksmith stuff. As stated above. Raxx is the man you need to watch on youtube… you will no longer have any questions.
