Usually, I would start with a few weapons since having higher damage weapons will help propel you faster into higher difficulties initially compared to attempting to craft a set item. So with a new seasonal character, you might consider hoarding your level 70 ones in preparation for upgrading to a legendary.Īlso, if you have a hard time getting Kalada to give you the perfect item, just keep the related rare she provides around to convert. Yellow (rare) jewelry are themselves rare and costly from Kadala.

For instance, I was trying to find a good Sunwuko Shines amulet for my monk since those are pretty rare. One thing you probably will want to keep around is jewelry. Because of this, you will want to pick up EVERYTHING and salvage as much as you can. All your materials while leveling will be the same moving forward from patch 2.3 so anything below level 61 will now be the same as 61-70. That said, you will certainly want to conserve all your materials as much as you can until level 70.

You have to be strategic in using this property, especially for a new seasonal character. So you can’t just continue crafting items until you get the ultimate ancient item. Less blues and even less rares from chests or mobs overall. In addition, when the legendary buff wasn’t turned on in the PTR, I noticed that the drop rate for many items was far lower than on live. Even when I pulled over my full stash from non-season into the PTR, I found myself nearly depleted of crafting materials (especially Arcane Dusts). However, at 50 Veiled Crystals, 50 Arcane Dusts and 50 Common Debris along with 5 Dragon Breaths, you’ll find yourself material starved constantly. Some people might argue that this property of Kanai’s Cube is OP. Even though whatever item you upgrade will still be random, the main thing is that with enough materials, you can get some basic legendaries right out the door. One of the best and possibly lesser used aspects in the PTR at the moment for Kanai’s Cube is the ability to upgrade a rare item to a legendary.

This blog will discuss using Kanai’s Cube’s transmutation properties for crafting your own legendaries.

However, with Kanai’s Cube in Patch 2.3, we have more ways to get the gear we need to start doing harder content. The normal way of gearing up in the past was just farming Blood Shards, using Kadala for set pieces and even leeching in T6 runs. Unfortunately, the 2000% legendary buff won’t exist once the new patch 2.3 and season 4 hits.
