ADVENTURE MODE

• Rift Guardians and Greater Rift Guardians now drop more crafting materials
• Infernal Machine
  • In multiplayer games, the Key of Bones, Key of Gluttony, and Key of War will now be considered group drops
    • This means that, instead of players having an individual chance to find a key, that chance is now exists at the party level
    • If a Key of Bones, a Key of Gluttony, or a Key of War drops, it will drop for everyone in the party at the time
• Greater Rifts
  • The Rift of Trials has received numerous adjustments in an effort to more accurately assess an appropriate level of Greater Rift
  • Large Aqueduct and Sewer maps will no longer show up in Greater Rifts
• Kadala
  • Philosophy
    • While Kadala is doing a great job of giving players more control over finding specific items, we felt the current experience was a bit cumbersome and inconvenient
    • As a result, we’re working to reduce the frequency at which players need to run between Kadala and the Blacksmith to salvage unwanted items
  • The cost to purchase items from Kadala has been greatly increased
  • The chance for Kadala to drop a Legendary item has also been greatly increased
• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed an issue that could cause Greater Rift Guardians to sometimes drop multiple of the same Legendary Gem

CRAFTING

• Mystic
  • Enchanting
    • Philosophy
      • We want players to be able to more reliably add sockets to their jewelry in order to enjoy Legendary Gems
      • We still have long term plans to provide more outlets for excess gems and more ways to farm gems that a player needs; however, since those changes are further down the road, we wanted to improve the quality of life of Seasonal and Non-Seasonal players alike by making it easier to add a socket to your Rings and Amulets
    • The cost to enchant jewelry has been reduced from a Flawless Imperial gem to an Imperial gem
