The list of all Materials and Locations | Crafting Diablo III: RoS Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
IN the expansion pack for Diablo 3 all of the craftsmen can be promoted to level 12. To do that, you need to own the item called "death breath", which is rarely dropped by regular opponents and chests, and often after defeating elite opponents.
After you promote them, new recipes unlock and you will be able to each them new ones, for levels 61+.
The most important innovation is the fact that, in order to craft a legendary you only need the recipe and the materials that you receive by recycling the other items. Additionally, you need materials that can be obtained at certain locations, from certain monsters or from certain elements of the surroundings that you can interact with, e.g. shelves.
The way to obtain these item is to attack unique elite opponents, which do not have the names of abilities, under their health bars and whose names are in violet. Of course, not each unique opponent drops each material. See below to find the list
Percentage chance of a drop, as of April 2014.:
Normal: 5 %
High: 6 %
Expert: 7,2 %
Master: 8,6 %
Torment I: 10,4 %
Torment II: 12,4 %
Torment III: 14,9 %
Torment IV: 17,9 %
Torment V: 21,5 %
Torment VI: 25,8 %
After you found the right type of material, this is not yet it. You then need a white item. The best location to farm these are the Stone fort of Act III, due to the fact that there are many weapon stands there and this is what drops lots of white weapons. Sometimes, you are also going to need a high-quality gem, which has, so far, been used in slots of other items.
