Legendary crafted items are meant to be both a stepping stone into end game items and a good place to spend crafting materials at the end game. Legendary crafting recipes have received several changes: They run fast so look at the map, see which if any of the bounties are (or will be) good for you and jump to it. My first recommendation is you look at Horadric Cache items of particular use to your character(s) and join parties farming split farming that act. It should be noted that these materials can drop when doing normal bounties, you don’t need to Torment yourself to get them if you don’t want. Once you have the plans you need you can start farming some of the many materials available for crafting, though there’s no reason not to do both.įarming legendary crafting mats in Diablo RoS Be sure to search for the active Dane Bright communities, like the couple I’ve shown below. These older recipes are not bound to accounts and so can be traded with other collectors. Unfortunately, unlike drops, he’s a vendor so you can get duplicates and the more recipes you’ve learned, the harder it becomes not to get repeats. If you buy it and wait 15 minutes he will offer another, which you have to buy if you want him to restock.

Once found he will sell you a low level plan for around 5,000g. You might be lucky and find him first try – or you might equally give up after running round the same zone for the hundredth time. He’s annoyingly hard to find as, while he’s in an easy to search area (Northern Highlands), he doesn’t actually load very often. There is help at hand though!Įnter the merchant Dane Bright. If you don’t have the expansion it’s academic, but for everyone else it means starting an character and leveling them to 55 and … It gets tedious fast, as you can imagine.

The windows for plans dropping is tiny and given how fast you gain levels is makes it doubly hard as level 10 plans only drop for characters between level 55 and 60. If only it was that simple! I can’t say absolutely on this but I tested as thoroughly as possible and spoke to many in channels that substantiate my finding. If you need older designs, certainly likely if you are a completist, then it gets a little more problematic as Blizzard, in their infinite wisdom, decreed that high level character can’t get them. You can join other acts or use higher levels, but it’s not as efficient. They tend to be very fast – typically just five minutes, accrue rift fragments and give you a chance of getting legendaries like the Ring of Royal Grandeur which most consider the most useful item in the game. If you want my advice, which I assume you do as you are here reading this, then the absolute best use of your time is to join ‘split farming’ parties doing act 1 bounties on ‘normal’ difficulty. Rather an incentive to level up Haedrig, Shen and Myriam sooner rather than later, eh! If you’ve only trained the blacksmith or jeweller to a certain level you risk getting duplicate plans. Conversely, the more recipes you find, the more likely you are to get the one you need as recipes don’t repeat – once learned.

Strangely, I’ve found, you are actually more likely to get a green set recipe like Asheara’s Vestments than you are to discover a legendary one for a single weapon or armour piece.


The more you play (and that’s common sense, not a directive!) the more likely you are to get the plans you need.

I should also note that I obtained many of these early on in the expansion – before the 2.04 patch which "greatly increased the drop rate for plans". I’ve had three drop in the space on minutes on ‘normal’ (two of which were green sets) and one drop after hours of Rifts, so it’s unlikely that the difficulty setting applies to plans in the same way it does to all other legendary items. I’ll cover level 12 plans first as these are the ones most will want. As such this guide is from a genuine players point of view – as opposed to a few pages of text lifted from forums and wiki’s. In making this as authoritative as possible I’ve ‘farmed’ every possible recipe and legendary crafting materials including a frustrating few like the Gimmering Gemstone that I’ll never need (having preciously made the Staff of Herding).
