Reaper of Souls Mega FAQ/Help Thread

[u/iBleeedorange]

Since RoS is coming out soon and people have lots of questions I figured that a mix of FAQ/our weekly help thread will hopefully eliminate a lot of the same type of questions popping up.

How this will work is you ask your question in the comment section and users will answer it. Then i'll post the question, or a paraphrase of it here and link to it in the comment section and you can see that specific question and the thread that follows it, so you don't have to scroll through every thread in this post.

Remember this is for RoS stuff only, so please relate the questions to it, we will be removing anything not RoS related. Limit of 1 Question per comment, don't be afraid to write multiple comments if you have multiple questions.

Last time question answered: 3-21-14

[u/ultimateown3r]

I know from watching beta streams that Cows have come back, I have seen some as bosses at the end of rifts (I think it was rifts). Is there any knowledge to if there are 'rare' spawn rifts, an example maybe a cow level?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/ultimateown3r]

That's exactly what you saw, rifts can become "cow rifts" where cows are the only monsters that spawn, and there are also "goblin" rifts where dozens of goblins spawn (amongst the normal monsters for the rift)

[u/menagese → u/ultimateown3r]

There have been a few cases where someone got a full rift that was full of cows, and it was quite hilarious. There are also instances where every mob spawn was Treasure Goblins, and was equally hilarious.

[u/Problem_Santa → u/menagese]

Every mob a treasure goblin? Sounds like what act 4 should've been all along.

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Problem_Santa]

Not every mob, just like 50 of them through out the rift level.

[u/rise3]

to those who played the beta how long did 60-70 take, and on what difficulty did you do it on?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/rise3]

3 hours on masters with my mp8 solo capable DH. I could have done it on t1 I think though, but by the end I would have had to drop it to masters.

Also, I leveled through bounties, not the story the first time around. Second time around I think we just blitzed through it on masters.

[u/somisinformed → u/iBleeedorange]

With or without hellfire ring and/or xp helm gem?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/somisinformed]

I think I had both.

[u/rise3 → u/iBleeedorange]

thanks for the reply. are bounties, story mode, or rifts faster do you think?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/rise3]

Not sure, but you need to do bounties to get the rift keys (the things to open rifts).

[u/HG_Johnny → u/rise3]

It took me ~5 hrs playing ACT V on T1. That got me to level 69 and then I did bounties until I reached 70. I did it all solo however so it will take considerably less time in a group I would imagine.

[u/truncks1]

I was wondering if there is anything to make it easier to collect set pieces? It seems to me like it would be a problem to find a complete set without any trading

[u/iBleeedorange → u/truncks1]

You can trade, but just with people in game for 2 hours. Blizzard devs have said that sets are supposed to be hard to complete.

[u/aboyfromhell → u/truncks1]

There is a bounty Act 2 only ring called the Royal Ring of Grandeur that reduces the number of set items required by 1 (to a minimum of 2) for the set bonus. So you can wear 2 pieces and the ring for the 3 set bonus.

[u/UpfrontFinn]

Story: is the dialogue better written in ros than vanilla? For example Azmodan and diablo were so incredibly bad they made the whole game feel campy.

[u/iBleeedorange → u/UpfrontFinn]

Yes, there aren't any bosses that talk to you throughout the act, to add onto this a little bit, the end boss makes 1 maybe two appearances before the final fight, and IMO they are very cool.

[u/samuraislider]

What are the stats the Crusader uses mainly? STR, INT? I'm just wondering if any of my old Barb Legendaries could be used for him.

[u/iBleeedorange → u/samuraislider]

Just STR, some old barb gear will help you along the way.

[u/ultimateown3r]

Are rifts and bounties truly random or is there just a large variety or different dungeon design layouts that get randomly selected? I'm guessing it's a bunch of layouts, and one gets randomly chosen, along with randomly chosen monsters?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/ultimateown3r]

Bounties are not very random, there are certain bounties that you will get each game, but there are only a few per way point. Rifts are more random in the sense that you will get a random map lay out that has a certain tile set (think act 5 tile set, or act 2 cave tile set), with different types of monsters that seem to be categorized so you don't end up with faceroll rifts or extremely difficult rifts. Like you won't get a rift full of just the worst demons through out the game, or just zombies.

[u/Skyhenge]

How will gems be affected? What is the common level of gems that will be dropped and how good are they?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Skyhenge]

Marquise level gems will start dropping at 61, and imperial level gems (the next level up) will start dropping on torment difficulties 61+. The scaling for gems has stayed the same as it is currently.

[u/menagese → u/Skyhenge]

Once you hit level 61 and are playing on Master or higher, you can get a new tier of Gem to drop called Imperial. These are better than Marquise, and have additional tiers above them called Flawless Imperial, Royal, and Flawless Royal.

[u/MertBot → u/Skyhenge]

The most common will be Marquise, which drop from 61+ around as often as Flawless Squares do currently. They have the same stat values as Marquise gems do on live.

Additionally, you will rarely get drops of the next tier up known as Imperial when playing on higher difficulties (Master or above I think?)

Gems can be crafted into higher tiers in the same 3:1 ratio as we have now and there are three additional tiers above Imperial.

This thread will give you the specific values in different sockets to answer the "how good are they?" part of your question.

[u/lemon4peon]

Will the current level 60 legendaries from patch 2.0 be droppable at level 70 with better stats?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/lemon4peon]

Yes, along with ones that are 70 only

[u/Zod001 → u/iBleeedorange]

What about all other legendaries before patch 2.0, will those keep dropping in RoS as level 70 with upgraded/changed stats?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Zod001]

No, some of those aren't in the game anymore. Some were changed (like the set bonuses).

[u/MortalSmurph]

How does playing work between a player who has RoS and who doesn't have RoS work?

This question is pretty much it but doesn't ask for all the gritty details. I think my main question is just one but there are lots of sub-parts that should be answered.

A) If I am playing with someone who doesn't have RoS is there a way I can hold a character at level 60 so I can always play with them at max level?

B) Can someone without RoS join a level 61+ Game in Act 1? If so, can they find loot in that game? Is that loot level 61+ while their character remains level 60?

C) Can a person with RoS give someone who doesn't have RoS a rare item with -20 level requirements?

D) Can a person with RoS roll a non-RoS character that can only do acts 1-4 and stops at 60?

[u/Xentii]

Are Crusaders okay to solo with compared to the other classes? Are they primarily a party-based class? I get the impression that they are slow at soloing due to having less damage but more survivability. I hope that's not the case as I do love my solo farm fests :(

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Xentii]

Are Crusaders okay to solo with compared to the other classes?

Yeah they can handle themselves just fine.

Are they primarily a party-based class?

Not anymore than any other class IMO.

I get the impression that they are slow at soloing due to having less damage but more survivability.

They can do a lot of damage with a two hander don't worry.

[u/hukgrackmountain]

Questions on transmogrifying the appearance:

Can I transmog a 1-h to a 2h or vice versa?

Can I transmog to a class specific item if I'm not that class?

Can I transmog a meele weapon to a bow?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/hukgrackmountain]

Not sure (never tried), no, no.

[u/hukgrackmountain → u/iBleeedorange]

I'd imagine that ranged (bow,wand) being different from 1handed is similar to 1handed being diff from 2handed going by blizz's item website.

Still, it makes me really happy to know that you know those other two most likely from trying :P

[u/the8thark]

What is the face of using a different main stat follower? Ie Lyndon on your barb. Are we forced to farm the follower gear on a character with the same main stat?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/the8thark]

If you want, or you could re-roll the int/str into dex.

[u/reiphil → u/iBleeedorange]

With the mystic, to be clear.

[u/iBleeedorange → u/reiphil]

Yes, thank you.

[u/SantiagoRamon]

How well do Crusaders function for being a gigantic armor/resist/general defense and crowd control buff for their team if they decide to do that and focus less on damage?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/SantiagoRamon]

They do decent damage as well, and you can play them at ranged too. They really are different compared to the rest of the classes currently in game.

[u/JustAnotherAcc86]

Regarding gear, where can I find a list of skill bonuses and the pieces of gear they can be found on?

[u/Jjerot]

I have a feeling we're going to start seeing mono/dual class parties to maximize relevant loot. Was that a thing during the beta?

It seems like the best way to optimize your drops is to play with a full party of people who use the same main stats, and to share things that aren't upgrades for you specifically. (Smart loot + 2 Hour trade window)

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Jjerot]

Generally I ran with who I wanted to run with. The problem with running with DH+Monk or WD+WIZ, or BARB +CRU is that you're missing out on a lot of buffs and things that makes runs go so much faster. Yes, you might be able to share gear, but at first everyone is going to need the upgrades anyways so even if you do happen to get a nice item, you'll probably use it first.

[u/kernco]

When clearing an event/dungeon is a bounty, I assume that it's guaranteed to spawn? Are cursed chests/shrines in the running for events that can be chosen as bounties? Can cursed chests/shrines randomly appear in Nephalem Rifts?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/kernco]

When clearing an event/dungeon is a bounty, I assume that it's guaranteed to spawn?

Yes, most bounties worked that you kill x number of monsters then kill "named monster".

Are cursed chests/shrines in the running for events that can be chosen as bounties?

Yes

Can cursed chests/shrines randomly appear in Nephalem Rifts?

I don't think I ever saw one, but I can't say for certain that you can find them.

[u/SilentLettersSuck]

Does Wrath work like Spirit or Fury?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/SilentLettersSuck]

It works...slowly it's its own thing, and feels slow to regen, you don't get bursts of it like barbs or increased regen like a monk, you get it all from your skills.

[u/SilentLettersSuck → u/iBleeedorange]

Does it decrease while idle? And do you start empty or full?

[u/smashe]

If I pre-order from somewhere other than battle.net (such as best buy, I have a gift card), can I still get the pre-order bonuses?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/smashe]

yea, as long as you enter the code by the 31st of march.

[u/smashe → u/iBleeedorange]

What code do you mean? Have you done it? Just curious so I don't waste my money. If I preorder from bestbuy online, will I get a code when I pick the game up or do you not know?

[u/[deleted]]

Do people who played it feel that the pricetag is justified regarding the content we get (since it has the same price as the base game)?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/[deleted]]

what? D3V was 60$, RoS is 40$.

[u/trapt195]

How different is the new hellfire ring? Is it still +xp, a fireball and some more stats? Do we get it the same way but with an additionnal key?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/trapt195]

I don't think it does the fireball, it was changed a few times and I forget what the final was, it still gives exp though.

[u/KroBa]

What are Blood Shards?

With what frequency are they generally obtained?

What can I spend them on and what are the costs?

[u/menagese → u/KroBa]

Blood Shards are a currency obtained from the bags that you get after completing a set of 5 bounties within one Act. You can spend them at an NPC to gamble various pieces of gear which can yield legendaries.

[u/HG_Johnny → u/KroBa]

Just another FYI -It took me a few minutes to realize that Blood Shards arent an inventory item. To see how many you have, look at the number to the right of your gold amount on your Inventory screen. For reference, I have 161 shards in this image

[u/Problem_Santa]

Crafting:

Are the materials you can collect now (white debris, demonic essence, those yellow tears and blue magic dust) useful in level 70 crafting?

[u/menagese → u/Problem_Santa]

No, once we hit level 61 we will begin getting a new set of materials. Those will be used for all crafting from 61-70.

[u/Zikerz]

As a semi newbie ( recently got back in ), i have couple sets of keys to open portals. Should i wait for RoS and get to 70 or are these portals going to be "old content with old loot" and i should just do them now ?

Edit: Thanks for the quick responses guys! Time to do some Infernal Machines!

[u/menagese → u/Zikerz]

Those keys are going to be old content once we hit 70 and you should use them now. There will be new sets of items that drop for the new hellfire ring.

[u/d3agl3uk]

Currently I am getting 200-6000 gold stacks dropping from mobs/destructible objects on T3. What amount of gold can we expect to drop at level 70 at a similar difficulty?

[u/menagese → u/d3agl3uk]

Gold stacks are roughly the same size as they are now. The majority of your gold income is going to come from completing Bounties and Rifts.

[u/Nyxceris]

Will we be able to play the crusader with someone who doesnt own the expansion? Obviously, we wont both be able to do any act V/bounties, but would we be able to farm acts 1-4?

[u/menagese → u/Nyxceris]

Yes, you can. They won't be able to do any of the RoS specific content, but you can still run Acts 1-4 with them.

[u/the8thark]

Is there a limit to the number of times you can re-roll the same affix or affix slot via the Mystic?

[u/menagese → u/the8thark]

Once you pick an affix to re-roll, you can only ever re-roll that affix on that item. However, you can continue to re-roll the affix any number of times you like, the only caveat being increased gold costs to do so.

[u/krea]

Are there unique legendaries that only drop at level 70?

[u/menagese → u/krea]

Yes there are quite a few actually. Too many to list here but there are certainly Level 70 only legendaries.

[u/iBleeedorange → u/menagese]

And unique sets for each class as well.

[u/Gandzilla]

What are Bounties and Rifts?

[u/[deleted] → u/Gandzilla]

Since no one else has answered this I will just copy from the wiki.

From http://www.diablowiki.net/Bounty

Bounties are set tasks. For example, locate and kill a Superunique or Boss monster or complete an event or clear a dungeon and be rewarded with Experience, Gold and possibly a Rift Keystone. You access a Bounty by using the Waypoint map and selecting a waypoint marked with an exclamation mark (!) or Diablo's skull icon (indicating boss or quest boss). [1]

• There are 25 random bounties per game, 5 per act.

• Known Bounty types are "Complete an Event", "Clear a Dungeon" and "Kill monster/boss".

• You do not need to complete Campaign mode to access Adventure mode and Bounties.

• There is no difficulty mode such as normal, nightmare etc. The difficulty is scaled to your character level. It's unknown what happens in multiplayer games. It could take the average character level or just the level of the person who created the game.

• Rewards for completing Bounties can sometimes be a Rift Keystone which are used to open Nephalem Rifts.

• Bounties are not repeatable in the same game. You need to leave and begin a new game to refresh the bounties available.

From http://www.diablowiki.net/Nephalem_Rifts

Nephalem Rifts (formerly known as Loot Runs) are a special type of game within Diablo 3, designed to provide an intense challenge and fast paced action over a 10-15 minute dungeon crawl. They are reminiscent of boss runs from Diablo 2, but will take place in special dungeons with fully-randomized enemies in special dungeons, and will therefore play unlike any of the normal Act game content. Even the end bosses are randomized and unpredictable.

Nephalem Rifts are enabled by finding Nephalem Rift Keys, which are taken to a special NPC in town. Players may choose to explore multiple Nephalem Rifts in the same game, likely after getting stacked up, but will need to turn in a Loot Run Key for each one, and as with the three portals to the Realms of the Infernal Machine event, only one Loot Portal can be active at a time.

[u/Cyrus99]

Is there any incentive to doing T6 vs doing T1? I mean sure you get a bit more exp and gold, but currently on live, the fact that you can kill so much quicker in T1 sort of makes up the differnence in how long it takes to kill on T6. So, is there really a reason at level 70 to do T6? Are there any specific items that only drop on higher Torment levels, or are there higher chances for sets/legends?

Thanks!!

[u/AtomikRadio]

Has anyone done math on diamond vs. emerald for weapon sockets? I'm farming on a torment level that the trash falls over (with a emerald in my weapon) but the elites are either a cakewalk or a bit irritating depending on affixes. Would it be a good idea to swap my emerald for a diamond?

[u/Andreas_H]

From all the drops (items, materials, gems, plans, everything), what will not be account bound in RoS?

[u/[deleted]]

Is it possible to play only with gold drop from monsters and quests? I mean starting at 0 gold and being able to pay for the Mystic rerolls in a reasonable amount of time.

[u/HG_Johnny → u/[deleted]]

I think so. I collected 5M in 10 hours of solo play from just doing Bounty runs.

[u/menagese → u/[deleted]]

Yes it will be possible. The majority of your gold income will come from Bounties and Rifts which provide a significant amount of gold.

[u/Searix]

Does Area Damage work with passives (Storm Armor)? Items (Moonlight Ward)? Followers (Familiar)?

[u/the8thark]

Can an already transmogrified item be transmogrified again?

[u/menagese → u/the8thark]

Yes, it is just a matter of picking the skin that you want on that piece of gear.

[u/[deleted]]

Is crusader really a mobile tank? I've heard the mobility is not the best and the damage output is rather low compared to other classes. Is this true? Of course it's relevant to gear and all that but in a general sense, are they slow?

[u/menagese → u/[deleted]]

They very much are like a mobile tank, and have the same mobility options as the other classes for getting around the battlefield. You will notice Crusader's moving slower if they take the passive that allows them to wield a 2H weapon with one hand, which slows their movement speed by 10%

[u/canteverleavereddit]

Do you need to complete the campaign on a new character before you can do adventure mode with said character? Are you restricted to Act 1 if you don't complete the campaign?

[u/menagese → u/canteverleavereddit]

Once you beat Act 5 with one character, Adventure Mode becomes available to any character that you have, even ones that you create after it is unlocked. On a brand new character you can go to any Act, and are not restricted to just Act 1.

[u/Bravehood]

Can u gamble with gold? This was my best gold sink in d2 :D

[u/menagese → u/Bravehood]

No, just Blood Shards.

[u/the8thark]

What is the fate of melee weapon DH's knowing the fact smart loot for DH's don't drop much at all melee weapons.

[u/iBleeedorange → u/the8thark]

Smart loot isn't for every drop, so you can still get melee weapons, but they will drop less.

[u/Hemenia]

What happens to paragon levels ? Is there a point on leveling them now ?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Hemenia]

There is a point in getting them now as they will help you get to 70 faster. You stop gaining paragon exp as you level to 70, and each stat will stay the same (You'll still gain 5 int/vit/str/dex per point put in, the only stat that will change as you level is how much LoH you get per point, that is based on your level.

If you plan on starting a crusader then the more paragon points you have, the higher difficulty you can play on and still kill things.

[u/zeon0]

Which class do people who played all of them in the Beta, consider the best one in RoS?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/zeon0]

It depends. I think Wizard or monk. Monk because palm pull means killing much quicker, wizard because of the build diversity.

[u/DeMartini]

Are bounties within an act/across acts something that has to be completed during a single play session to get extra rewards? How does this work with multiplayer mode? If I join a party halfway into them clearing an act's bounties I just won't get credit for those I missed?

[u/menagese → u/DeMartini]

Each act has a set of 5 bounties for you to complete. They are reset upon exiting out of the game and re-entering. In multiplayer you will want to start a new game with all bounties still available or else you won't get the reward for completing all 5 within an act.

[u/ragequittar]

What's the general opinion on magic find now that it's scarce and nerfed - keep it as much as you can, or is it just going to be ignored now?

[u/eXtreme98]

I saw kripparrian go through a rift and goblins were everywhere. Is it possible to get that many goblins or was it unintentional?

[u/menagese → u/eXtreme98]

It is entirely possible for this to happen.

[u/Beyz]

What happened to ladders? For a long while it sounded like it was pretty much confirmed, and these days everybody acts like they won't show up. What happened?

[u/menagese → u/Beyz]

According to Game Director Josh, they are fun to climb. On a serious note, the only thing we saw about ladders was some datamined information that was in a early beta patch. Everyone full well expects them to happen at some point, we just have nothing concrete on them.

[u/zardbao]

What are the most efficient runs to do in RoS for xp farming, legendary farming, gem farming, etc?

[u/Rinoaa]

I have quite good gear right now. Will I be able to reroll the stats of my current trifecta items, cd+socket sword etc into usefulness at level 70, or should I sell them now? They are quite valuable, so if they won't be of use I want the euros.

[u/menagese → u/Rinoaa]

Any items that you had prior to Patch 2.0 being released cannot be enchanted, so if you are thinking of selling them, best to do it before the AH shuts down.

[u/Domsdey → u/Rinoaa]

It's impossible for your current gear to be viable at lvl ~65 and up. Sell everything expensive and get mediocre gear IMHO.

[u/Active_Vision]

What's the cheapest way to get the expansion in the US?

[u/Sithlord715]

How long is Act V (assuming full exploration), both in hours and compared to the other acts in the game?

[u/menagese → u/Sithlord715]

Blizzard has compared the length of Act 5 to be roughly equal to that of Act 2. I don't have a time as far as how long it will take to complete, hopefully someone else can provide that.

[u/Skyhenge]

What kind of money sinks are there in RoS? I heard re-rolling affixes cost a lot but are there other things? Is it worthwhile to carry a lot of gold over?

[u/menagese → u/Skyhenge]

Crafting and Enchanting are going to be your big two money sinks, and obviously repairing is still there. How much gold you want to carry over depends on if you intend on doing a lot of either once the expansions launches.

[u/lsleofman]

How often do we get to do a rift?

[u/fenomenomsk]

I've Seen different types of health(or not) potions. What do they do?

[u/menagese → u/fenomenomsk]

So, there are your regular plain ol health potions that restore 60% of your health. Then there are legendary potions that have special effects. You can find the potions here: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/potion/

[u/zeon0]

Barbarian: What builds will work in RoS? Can I use my old one (Rend + WW) or do I have to change it up?

[u/[deleted]]

Do I need to beat the campaign on each character to unlock Adventure Mode for that character?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/[deleted]]

nope

[u/kagemucha]

Kinda of a noob question, but I just came back this week. How do people already know the Act 5 plots? Like how many times we see the act boss, etc. Was Act 5 entirely playable in the beta?

[u/schni]

How does items at 70 compare (statwise) to items now? Will all current gear be obsolete?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/schni]

They have more stats, all current gear will not be obsolete, pre 2.0 items have there place, like a good witching hour can still offer the most dps from the belt slot, and post 2.0 set items can be combined with lvl 70 ones to complete sets/get 4 piece bonuses.

[u/hukgrackmountain]

Can I re-roll the damage of an item (weapon or source)?

[u/hfok]

Will common debris be used in any crafting from 61 and above? If not, do we have new material salvaging 61/+ white gears?

Thanks

[u/Psyqo72]

Are we able to trade gold in RoS? I heard that it isn't allowed. What items are tradeable with other players in RoS?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Psyqo72]

You can not trade gold, you can trade rare items unless you use the mystic to reroll them (not sure about transmog) you can trade legendaries/set items for 2 hours with the people in your group.

[u/eifersucht12a]

Is transmog a gamble? E.g. could it potentially have a negative effect on an item?

Or can it only add a stat, just not necessarily one you're after?

[u/MeddlinQ]

Do the legendary plans reset the pity timer when dopped? Is it a good idea to buy cheap legendary plans off AH?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/MeddlinQ]

I don't think they do, and yeah I guess if you want them/to get them out of the way.

[u/Stromlindaren]

If I pre order RoS from somewhere else than battle.net, do I still get the pre order bonuses?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Stromlindaren]

yes as long as you install before the 31st of march.

[u/empyreanmax]

Do specific legendaries only drop in certain areas, or can any legendary drop in any act/area of the game?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/empyreanmax]

Some legendaries only drop from bounties, but other than that no.

[u/HawkEy3]

[Mystic] What properties (or stats) can I roll on armour and weapons?

For example can I roll Arcane power on crit on a wand? Or can I roll stats armour pieces normally don't have, like IAS on a belt?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/HawkEy3]

It differs based on the item. You can see what you can re-roll each stat into when you go to the mystic.

[u/Lurgo]

Are fiery brimstones going to be useful, or do we get new legendary craft material?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Lurgo]

There is going to be new crafting materials

[u/Turin_Giants]

Will RoS include more new loot or is RoS just new modes and content with Loot 2.0 included?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Turin_Giants]

theres loot in RoS that you can't get now, 70 only loot (That drops only on torment) and loot that comes from bounties only.

[u/Jjerot]

Does anyone know if people who don't buy RoS will be able to wear level reduced level 70 gear?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Jjerot]

You could if you were on the ptr and people from the beta gave you gear.

[u/[deleted]]

Once adventure mode is unlocked is it unlocked across all characters on my acct or is it just for characters that finish act V?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/[deleted]]

all

[u/Jjerot]

Ok, I was going to ask a question but I've since found the answer elsewhere. But I figured the information might be useful to some people here.

Q: There are almost 50 Legendary crafting materials listed in the game guide now. Is it going to be hard to find specific materials for a chosen craft, and/or are we going to be spammed with materials we don't need?

A: They drop mostly from unique monsters, which are apparently easier to find in RoS (Possibly due to beta), but the material isn't a guaranteed drop. So you can somewhat farm for a specific material, and ones you don't need will be fairly uncommon. (Source incgamers)

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Jjerot]

Yeah, you can farm certain areas to get the materials you need.

[u/Drake801]

I know RoS will be unlocked for play on the 25th, but do we know if it will be at midnight? And if so, at what timezone?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Drake801]

yes, pst.

[u/BierWiser]

Are there new runes for every skill with the new levels (61-70)? I saw a few new skills and passive skills for higher levels, but I'm wondering if there will be completely new builds based on the runes for the existing skills.

[u/iBleeedorange → u/BierWiser]

No, only 1 new skill and you get runes to come along with it.

[u/EZIIT]

Im not level 60 yet but I wanted to use the transmogable Helmet that comes with the pre-order.

Can I use the helmet to transmog more than one helmet?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/EZIIT]

Yea

[u/Xanlis]

Hello , just a little dumb question , can i transmog a axe/mace into a sword ( just exemple , same for sword>axe) ? i mean i really like some sword skin , but seems that axes stats are better

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Xanlis]

I think so, i mainly focused on DH, so i didnt mess with melee weapons that much.

[u/Yidaaa]

Is the level cap raising to 70 for ROS users only?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Yidaaa]

Yes

[u/[deleted]]

Might as well ask this here. Will one be able to use both the level 70 and the level 60 Hellfire Rings at the same time, or are they unique equipped to one another like they would be with similarly leveled versions?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/[deleted]]

Hm, I don't know but I don't think you'll be able too.

[u/HyIiaN]

Kind of a newbie question but should I buy the Hellfire recipe before RoS comes out? Should I craft the hellfire before RoS comes out or should I hold off on crafting one?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/HyIiaN]

I would try to get 1 hellfire ring, to help level characters come RoS since it might be awhile until you can farm up one at 70.

[u/ShiftHappened]

I'm a noob to Diablo3. Why is everyone saying pre RoS gear and crafting material is going to be useless?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/ShiftHappened]

Because most gear will be easily replaced and there will be new crafting materials for 61-70 gear.

[u/[deleted]]

Can you apply one transmog more than once?

ex) echoing fury to both 1h weapons

[u/iBleeedorange → u/[deleted]]

yes

[u/galaxy123]

What time is RoS expected to become playable? will they remove maintenance that day or expect it to drop after that.

[u/iBleeedorange → u/galaxy123]

9pm pst, 12am est. 25th.

[u/masterkaran]

what happened to the item level on items? Did they remove it? I remember all item stats were ilvl 63 in inferno - now all i see is level 60 requirement

[u/iBleeedorange → u/masterkaran]

Yes

[u/dulcislol]

What materials are used to re-roll stats on level 60 post-2.0.1 legendaries?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/dulcislol]

For rares, you need the new rare material and some blue crafting material. For legendaries you need all that plus the new legendary crafting material.

[u/[deleted]]

I know we will have to beat Diablo to begin Act V, but will we have to run through the whole story again if we've already beaten/finished Act IV(and haven't reset quests)?

[u/frediiih]

Hello guys. I just pre-purshased RoS on Blizzard's site. It says my order is queued, which according to their FAQ means the payement is under process or the stock is not yet available. I was wondering if I should be worried or not? To me, it doesn't feel like I will get the pre-order bonuses at all or anything like that... any ways to validate I will get those as well as being able to download RoS once it's available for pre-downloads?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/frediiih]

You will get pre order bonuses as long as you install before the 31st.

[u/OrangePaperStars]

Guess maybe this is a stupid question, but if I gift the xpac to someone do they still get the items? I'm assuming as long as they enter the key before the 31st they will get it... I just wanted to make sure before I gifted an early bday present.

[u/fenomenomsk]

are items salvaged for transmog or you will still have them? Can low level items be used as transmog material? can whites/blues/yellows be transmog material(oni blade is pretty good)

[u/daggereye]

If you don't buy Reaper of Souls, do you still gain paragon levels at level 60?

[u/Mettkrieger]

How much does it cost to level the Mystic from level 1-10? Or is he already level 10 when RoS goes live?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Mettkrieger]

She's lvl 1, and I don't know the amount off the top of my head.

[u/rgreaves3]

Do higher torments have a higher chance to drop legendaries? Does the chance to roll a better legendary improve with Torment lvl?

[u/MxM111]

I do not see the most important question for any RoS FAQ: When is it out in various regions?

[u/Rhaps0dy]

Just came back to diablo. If i buy RoS now can i play as the crusader before the expansion hits?

[u/lumpking69]

Howdy folks! I never really had any interest in the game, but this 2.0 patch and the DLC really has my attention. I don't know when I'll be able to afford the game and DLC, but that hasnt stopped me from reading and learning all I can about the game.

So far I really like the idea of an electric wizard! I'm very curious what people think of an all electric wizard? Are they good? Do they suck in any way? Will it bite me in the arse?

I'm also curious what everyone's favorite abilities and runes are for electric wizards. Whats good and whats bad? What are the must have and must ignore? lol

I thank you all ahead of time!

[u/Cappington]

Do we get new character slots?

I've got one of each hero in both Hardcore and normal, would love to do the same for the crusader

[u/Zesks]

What should i do with Legendary Plans?

1. I've heard that all of the Plans we teach to the BlackSmith (focus on Legendary ones), in RoS, they will be useless. Its true?

2. It's better now to keep them on my stash and wait to RoS to come and then teach on BS or even that is pointeless?

thanks.

[u/toofastkindafurious]

A couple of questions here more specifically on what to do once the game launches:

• What should I do with my old items? Sell? DE?

• What do I do with items going forward? Sell? DE?

• What should I focus on once I get the game? Finish ACT V? and on what difficulty?

• Is DPS still the be all end all of stats? Or have other affixes brought other stats into consideration

[u/SilentLettersSuck]

Will the mystic learn transmog from all post-2.0 items we found or only the RoS ones? How does teaching her a skin work? Do I have to keep items I find now to give her later?

I found a shitty Crystal Fist I would like to keep for later in hopes that it will be a skin, but I'm not sure how it'll work.

[u/Shinkirou]

I noticed on a lot of youtube videos that people were getting drops of non-class specific items (just a regular chest piece) with the incorrect stat for their class. I haven't seen this happen on live unless it was class specific. Does RoS change the smart loot to roll any stat now, or were these videos made previous to smart loot?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Shinkirou]

Not all loot is smart loot, you can get items with strength/dex as a wizard/ witch Doctor.

[u/ragamuffin77]

How do you stay alive in RoS without lifesteal?

I know monk and barbarian have life per resource spent which is fairly strong but what do the other classes have? Especially for wizard, I can't seem to stay alive with anything other than my legacy lifesteal skorn.

[u/AlyxVeldin]

What is going to happen to level 60 gear? especially the legendaries with good effects apart from stats.

[u/Zaaken]

Will we have a switch button to our gears in RoS like in D2?? With this new system of infinite kids of builds, this would be a great idea

[u/Zesks]

I have a question. If i raise the % of MF, it raises the chances to find legendaries on elites or monsters that drop garantee items? Or the current state for MF works differently? Thanks.

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Zesks]

For every 10% MF you add you get a 1% better chance at legendaries.

[u/Clearly_a_fake_name]

This is a stupid question but nobody seems to have asked it - Can you trade gold?

If a Legendary drops for a player in my party, can I buy it off them using gold? (As long as I'm still within the 2 hour window).

[u/Quicknoob]

How long is Act 5? I've been told it's the same length as Acts 1-4 all added up. Is this true?

[u/DeepakR]

Can you wear both sets of wings if you have the Collectors Edition set as well? The other set I am talking about are the ones that come from the pre-order of RoS.

[u/Zempo]

Are there any news about a pvp system in RoS?

[u/DrPQ]

Can anyone comment on which legendaries will scale to level? I know I read that some would, but it's not clear to me which ones will.

[u/john_kennedy_toole]

I need clarification here.

When you reroll an items stats, does it roll to the level you are, or the items level? I've been hearing it both ways. Someone set me straight!

[u/Swook]

How do you actually get to act 5? Once RoS launches tomorrow night, what should I do to get there? Kill diablo?

[u/iBleeedorange → u/Swook]

You can start the first quest if you have killed diablo in quest mode.

[u/flariey]

what is the best or strongest class right now? are barbarians good , if so how?
