But when you do these low level Vault runs the gold, shards and other stuff is quite minuscule.
Hence my saying “if you really need it” ; but I received 3 more puzzle rings during my farming just from the shards I scored in the vault. Not everyone can farm thousands of shards in 15 minutes, or have billions in gold sitting around, and every little bit helps.
I realize I did not understand FilthyCasual when he said 3 legendary rings I missed the legendary part.
I just finished another 5000 shards and the result was 0 puzzle rings tons of yellows and blues and the rest Leorics and the ever appropriately named “broken promise”.
My rng has suked for years!!
I may try the snapshot method!
RNG does suck, but I’ve never felt pressured to burn a puzzle ring once I get it. So, over the years, I’ve got 35 sitting in my stash and two primals on top of that. More than once when I have opened the vault my loot included another puzzle ring.
You basically said you are doing what he is you just get to level 7 in the vault instead of prior to entering…and it is somehow not true
The Bold Italic portion of his statement is what I was referring to. You don’t need to level prior to entering, which was my only real point, hence it is not true you need to skip directly to Greed.
You get lots of puzzles /cube rare rings. if you want ancient …well use cube mats on reg
puzzles.
Thank you!
Edited my original post for further clarity.

Moral of the story, Kadala is the true Prime Evil. There are 2 methods I use when battling the rng Prime Evil.
1. Kadala knows what you are looking for, she will jam you just for her own guilty pleasure. When getting ready to roll, beg her for Leorics and Broken Promise rings. She will give you puzzles just to spite you.- While spending shards, work on getting your highest four-letter word combo bonus. While this doesn’t improve your rng, it will make you feel better.

I’ve spent thousands of shards on rings at level 31 and haven’t had a single Puzzle Ring. I don’t see how the odds can be 1/3 for legedary drop. I’ve had ~35 legendary rings (leroic and broken) and not a single puzzle.
Was this patched and has the drop rate been reduced beyond the 33% from before?
Worst streak I had was like 4500 shards and no puzzle, but then I got 6 from 1800 the next dump. Dunno how many “thousands” in your case actually is, but RNG is RNG.
Must be rng or in other words “luck”.
I got many on lvl31 char. I’m guessing at least one each kadala run spending 1250 shards at most. Sometimes 3 in a run.
The number 1 of three is counted using the other legendaries. Yellows don’t count.
That number, 1 puzzle ring in every three legendaries, seems roughly right. For me at least.
After ~10k shards I got 3 while spending ~1800 shards.
I don’t know what video I watched but I did exactly how they suggested and got 3 puzzle rings using a level 32 WD spending shards at Kadala. I don’t know if class matters to get the rings. Also, I play solo and don’t know what difference if any that makes for results.
I also followed the instructions in the video exactly and It worked to get the 3 final ethereals for WD. I created a new WD with a level 70 weapon with a gem of ease in the socket starting out on Normal. Carefully level to 5 then quit and I started a game on the highest setting you can have when not at level 70 I think it is T6.
Put illusory boots on in the cube and put my weapon in my backpack and opened a vault. I carefully walked through all of the enemies until I got to Greed’s door.
Put on the weapon and kill her at level 5. There aren’t a lot of legendary choices to drop at that level and I got two ethereals. Repeated the process and got the third for the WD completing the challenge of getting all of them. All of the rest for the other classes I got by doing it the hard way of just playing doing rifts.

That means when you landed the legendary it has a third chance to be Puzzle Ring. Given Kadala is skimp at handling legendaries sometimes, it’s not uncommon to think. If you spent 5000 bloodshards, given jewelries have 50-100 shard cost per piece, it’s actually quite mediocre that you got 3 puzzle rings from that deal.
Kadala charges 50 blood shards per ring so 5000 blood shards is enough for 100 rings. If she gives you 1 in 10 items as legendaries, that’s 10 legendary rings. As the puzzle ring is one of three possibilities at that level, you’d expect to get 3-4 of them. Sounds about right to me.
True, but I only needed 2
Not sure why people are gambling for 'em to begin with. I have an entire stash full of them, which I’ve used half of and refilled it already with regular play (strictly natural drops.)
I keep 'em in case friends come late to the Season, but I wouldn’t mind helping others.
They are like boomerangs; no matter how many I go through to get rid of 'em, they keep coming back.
I did it for the Ethereal ach, was not sure how much if anything I would play so wanted to get it done as fast as possible.

Good for you. Not everybody has the same luck. I’ve personally had 2 drop all season. Just because you have got them doesn’t mean other players have.
