Rift Guardians on Torment 1 drop 50ish, and on Torment 6 they cough up around 100 each time. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some oddities like that, such as slightly higher legendary gamble rates for more expensive item types? It would be fascinating to compare these to other gamble charting results, especially of item types other than armor.įinally, casual players might gape at the idea of ever earning 36000 Blood Shards, but Shards are quite common at the high end. This assumes all items are weighted the same in legendary gamble rate, and that there’s no “mercy” gamble success counter.

Rings cost 10 shards, so double that to 642 shards per legendary ring.Obviously this isn’t the final scientific rate, because RNG, but extrapolting from that gives us some useful figures: Divide that by the 112 legendaries he got and that’s 1 leg for every 64.3 gambles, for a 1.5555% legendary gamble rate. Gloves cost 5 shards per gamble, so 36,000 / 5 = 7200. There aren’t any rare type gloves with 1/4 rarity for the WD, and Frostburn and TnT are both ultra-rare, at 1/10th the drop rate of the common ones.Īs for the overall legendary rate, that’s useful data as well. Magefist is uncommon for a Witch Doctor, and should roll about half as often as the most common ones, which it did. Archew’s Gage is the only outlier, since it’s common like the others. These frequency figures match those odds quite nicely, with the Pride of the Invoker, Helltooth, Jade Harvester, and Gladiator Gauntlets all roughly the same drop rate. (You will get those once in a while from monster drops, via the ~15% of items that are non-smart drops).Īs for item frequency, the legendary items of each item type in D3 are classified as common, uncommon (1/2), rare (1/4) and ultra-rare (1/10). This guy was playing with a Witch Doctor, and since legendaries via gambling are always Smart Drops, you see the 2 WD set gloves, but you do not see any gloves from other the class sets.

Recall that Legendary Drop Rates in Diablo 3 work with the game first deciding on a legendary (including set) of an item type, and then selecting one of the possible legendary/set items of that type for your character, all of which are weighted.
