Oh and in case anyone had this great idea, from the forums:

I equipped my puzzle ring in hopes that self-dropped whites would get munched up by the goblin. No such luck =P

EDIT: Though I wonder what the drop rate actually is. Might be worthwhile to speed-run the Forgotten Battlefield picking up whites?

Note to self: Go back in time 2 weeks and stop salvaging every legendary orb you get with crap damage.

When I was using it before, I wasn't able to accurately tell how much it took for drops to happen. I got rares pretty...rarely. It definitely took a while for it to produce results, and I had to unequip it whenever I wanted to get crafting whites.

I've been rocking a fire build for quite some time. I'm really excited at the prospect of having an archon skill to turn to as I have bounced between hydra and the black hole without settling forever.

Does it seem that something's not right with Elites? All of a sudden they seem to be a lot more threatening, it's almost like the ground effects or something is ignoring damage mitigation.

I've died a lot more today but I've been chalking that up to running on T4 rather than my previous T1's.

first legendary of 2.0.5 is Vyr's chest... so happy

sucks that it rolled Armor, but I can live with it.

So after playing with my new armour and triumvirate, I determined that I would be best to go back to old armour and my Tal's orb. Unsocket the gems from armour and throw it back in my stash.

Was going through my second wizard and thought I could use that Tals armour on him as an upgrade and go look for it. Now here is the twist.... I don't see the blue dot beside the Increased Attack Speed aspect. In fact, I don't see a blue dot at all.

Take it over to the Mystic, and guess what.... it is like it was never enchanted before. I was able to reroll the explosive blast damage aspect!

So the question is.... why? Was it because it was a predetermined stat that I rerolled that I didn't actually "change"? I don't know... I was so mad after making that initial "mistake" I never took a second look for the blue dot. Thought the damage was done.

But apparently, it wasn't.

Goody for me.

I know there was an exploit where if you re-rolled an item and then had the options available and dont have an option selected, then quit the game it did not increase the cost to re-roll the next time. Maybe it was related?

I don't know about an exploit, but I know that I often enchant items. I pick what I want enchanted, pay the cost, and get the two options to pick what I change it to. There are times when I look at both options and think "Nope, don't want either", and then X out of the enchanter screen. I have to eat the cost of the mats (I have paid for it) but I don't finish the transaction because I prefer the stat I have over the 2 offered. Makes me wonder if that's what happened to the OP's item. He picked the wrong stat, paid the price, got the options, but didn't "complete" the action, thus while paying for it, not actually getting the stat changed.

Shawnski · 05-14-2014, 06:36 AM

^^^^ Nope, I for certain selected the IAS line as I didn't want to lose it (as dumb as it was to roll in the first place.)

100% Legendary Drop rate and shards starting Thursday.

On May 15, 2012, the gates of the Burning Hells opened and Diablo III was unleashed onto the world. Since then, millions of heroes have been created, billions of hours have been spent in games, and trillions of demons have been slaughtered without mercy. We've even released an expansion!
To celebrate the game's second anniversary and the community that made it all possible, players who log in to defend Sanctuary this week will receive double Rift Fragments as well as a +100% boost to their chance to find Legendary items. This bonus birthday buff begins in the Americas on Thursday, May 15 at 12:00 a.m. PDT and ends on Thursday, May 22 at 5:00 a.m. PDT.

Just hit lvl 70. Haven't tried Torment Act 5 yet, but I can comfortably do Master Act 5. What should I be farming/doing now?

Adventure mode.

photon · 05-14-2014, 08:53 PM

So what's everyone going to do with their extra 100% Legendary rate?

I think I'll grind Act 1 caches hoping for a Royal Ring of Grandeur.

Canehdianman · 05-14-2014, 08:58 PM

I'm going to see if I can even play with a one day old around

Teh_Bandwagoner · 05-14-2014, 10:35 PM

Was getting pissed off because I ran about 4-5 rift runs on T2 without a single legendary drop (Forbidden Souls aside). Been getting back into Starcraft lately (so Blizzard still has me by the cockles), so was about to quit and do that, when suddenly one of these drops:

Now mind you I only got the 60% roll, but man it is a hilarious combo with Quetazcoatl mask. This one belt alone might be able to let me roll T3.

Nice! That would be a nice thing to have!

I wish I didn't waste so much gold before the xpac, now I'm struggling to make my gems cause of their crazy costs.

saillias · 05-15-2014, 07:42 AM

Hunger strike against Blizzard! They're keeping an artificial scarcity of legendary items to keep players addicted and chasing that shiny object. We demand higher drop rates, lower gem costs and more goblins.

photon · 05-15-2014, 08:28 AM

Opened a few HCs I had from last night and got a legendary, just a Golden Gorget of Leoric but it rolled 700+'s for primary and vitality which is nice, but it rolled +78% gold find! I don't think I've ever seen a non gold find specific legendary have that high a gold find roll.
