Drop rates severly nerfed

RNG is not kind to you. I’m level 36 and have had somewhere between 6 and 10 drop between Act 1 and part of Act 2. I got 2 legendaries after the Act 1 boss fight.

That said, they’ve largely only been useful for a little while and then became trash. I scrapped a new legendary just a while ago to get the affix to put on a rare weapon that had better stats.

It goes up as you increase the difficulty level and you level up. Legendaries are dropping like candy for me in WT3.

it will increase once ur higher lvl but 1 only at lvl 32 is either bad luck on ur end or u play tier 1 i started and played through in tier 2 now i am in tier 3

tell me about it ^^

My 35, almost 36 Barb have only seen 2 legendries across World Tier 2.

go hunt for aspects and use them on rare make ur own legendaries

act 1 boss i think always drops 1 or 2

I’ve gotten 4 legendaries and I’m only level 28 atm. Taking my sweet time and only in Act II.

Does crafted really count?

Doesn’t feel like it.

That’s how it should be

I haven’t kept accurate count of my time, but I’m guessing I’ve got probably 12-14 hours into it by now…maybe even more…

I would say yes, but only under this condition:

It drops and is trash so you harvest the affix.

I would say that is different than applying a dungeon reward affix.

i got 37 hours into this

You should sleep. I take it your trying to race for world firsts?

I have all legendary gear at 43, had them for a level or two now. So not that bad.

If that’s the case, then I think one or two legendary per 12 hours of gaming is totally fine. We are all used to dropping 100 legendaries per hour with Diablo III. Maybe this will be different in D IV endgame, I hope. So far, with low level questing, things are promising and rates are low.

I crafted protection aspect so that’s my legendary. Also salvaged 10 rares and only got like 2 or 3 rare essences, is that common? Also when I upgraded armor I salvaged the aspect’ed one (got a raw lether lol), but then I notice there is a tab to extract aspect from legendary at the occultist, so I messed up pretty badly resources wise :smiley:

Fast forward to level 40. Tons of legendaries dropped since then. I am happy with this rate, maybe it’s even to high I’d say. Would mind it being lower by 25%.

tbh when you are 50 plus they need to nerf it abit more for real, you get more then enough drops at that point.

Game should not be loot pinata like d3 its a quick high that fades fast. It should take time to find the items you need to flesh out a build.

Anyone asking about increasing more drops is missing the point here. It does increase as you level and its still too high imo.

Blizzard Please bring back the auction house so these posts will go away.

yeah it starts to pick up around there

T3 with tree of whisper caches and helltides, etc, you can just about choose when and how you want a legendary item. Also you have enough mats and codex items to just make whatever you need whenever you want. And the sacred rares are really nice on their own or imprinted. Just hang in there a few more levels and you’ll get more than you want. Immediately can tell the difference.
