-Difficulty in Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls has changed greatly over the course of the game. Upon release the game mirrored the previous Diablo titles, with difficulty levels, Normal, Nightmare, Hell, and Inferno, the fourth level new in Diablo 3. Each difficulty level repeated the same content, with the monsters rising in level and ability, and their gold, items, and experience values increasing proportionally.  On top of that players could set their desired [[Monster Power]] level to further customize the difficulty and rewards.

 [[Legendary items]] have a base drop rate which varies greatly between different types of enemies, objects, and clickables.  Most players have different opinions on where legendary items can best be found. Bosses are more likely to drop legendaries than trash mobs, but there are many more trash mobs, some areas of the game have lots of chests, etc.
-Blizzard has never revealed the base drop rates, but they have disclosed the bonuses to those drop rates players can obtain by playing on higher difficulty levels, and especially by hunting within [[Nephalem Rifts]]. All bonuses apply to Legendary and Set items, and remember that class Set Items can only be found on Torment 1 and higher. There are also numerous new legendary and set items in Reaper of Souls that can only be dropped on Torment 1 and higher.

 ==New Difficulty System==
-This entire system was changed in [[Diablo 3 version 2]] and [[Reaper of Souls]]. The four difficulty levels were removed and replaced with a scaling system where every monster in the game is scaled to the level of the character who created the game. Players can further customize that by selecting a Difficulty level. Raising the difficulty increases monster hit points and damage, while also boosting the exp and gold rewards for monsters, as well as all [[quests]], [[bounties]], [[Cursed Chests]], etc.. Higher difficulty levels also increase the drop rates of [[legendary]] items, and in the [[end game]] there are numerous features unlocked by playing on Torment (or higher) difficulty.

Thus something like new Elite Modifiers and a second Elite ability that were formerly added in Nightmare show up in the scaling system when the monsters are around level 30.

 Running the [[Infernal Machine]] to obtain a [[Hellfire Ring]] is more complicated in the new system. There are now four keys, rather than just three, and four portals with four Demonic Organs required to create a Hellfire Ring. One benefit is that players can now specify which portal they create, so if just one Organ is needed, a player can go after just that one, instead of simply opening a random portal and hoping to get the one they want.
-The new system has stingier drop rates for [[Keys]] from [[Key Wardens]] and and [[Demonic Organs]] from [[Ubers]]. These do not drop at all until at least Torment 1, and max out with a much lower drop rate than the 100% possible in [[MP10]] in [[Diablo 3 vanilla]].

 The odds are as follows. Nothing will raise these any higher; not equipment bonuses or other players in the game. As always, it is better to farm them in a party, since the hunting and killing goes more quickly, plus everyone has the same chance for a key to drop, and everyone in the game can use each opened portal. Thus four players each with one Infernal Machine can do all four Ubers in the same game.

-In [[Diablo 3 vanilla]] there were new tiers of [[crafting]] materials for each difficulty level, with white, blue, and yellow [[mats]] for each, plus Fiery Brimstones as an orange material that was only available in Inferno, plus Demonic Essences that only dropped from Elites on Inferno. The entire crafting system was overhauled in [[D3v2]] with materials simplified.
+* Normal: 0% Legendary drop bonus, 25% bonus in Nephalem Rifts.
-In the new system there are two tiers of crafting mats: level 1-60 and level 61-70.  Each tier has a white, blue, yellow, orange, and 1 special monster-drop-only type of material, and all crafting recipes require some of those materials of the appropriate tier.  Legendary materials also exist, with a few found in Diablo 3 and dozens in Reaper of Souls, almost all of them only dropping once a character reaches level 70.
 D3v2 and RoS add many new crafting plans. The lower level ones can drop throughout the game, but most of the new ones will only begin to drop at level 70, and require the Jeweler and/or Blacksmith to be trained up to level 12 in order to learn the plans and produce the new items or gems.
