Adventure Mode: Tips for Maximizing Your Reaper of Souls Experience

Diablo III’s Reaper of Souls expansion brings an exciting new feature called Adventure mode, which includes bounties and Rifts. If you’re looking to make the most of your experience and reach level 70 and beyond, we’ve got some tips to help you get started.

Building a New Character

If you’re starting a new character, it’s worth considering completing act 5 first on an old character, if you have one. This will unlock Adventure mode for your new character, allowing you to start earning blood shards and Rift keys right away. You can safely store these resources to use at max level. Additionally, you can grab a level 60+ red gem for your new character’s helmet, which will provide a significant experience boost during the leveling process. Remember to always equip a red gem in your helmet as soon as possible, regardless of your access to high-level gems.

Blood Shards and Bounties

One exciting addition to Diablo III is the introduction of blood shards, a new currency you’ll receive for completing bounties and defeating Rift bosses. Currently, the main use for blood shards is gambling with Kadala. While the chances of obtaining a legendary item through gambling are slim, it’s an opportunity to acquire gear without spending your hard-earned gold. You can store up to 500 blood shards at a time.

If you have friends who play Diablo III, consider grouping up for bounties. While bounties can be completed solo, playing with friends on Normal difficulty and splitting up across acts allows you to collect loot bags and completions faster. Assign one friend to each act, and you’ll all receive the associated cache at the end of each clear. Keep in mind that enemies will be tougher with more players in the game, but on Normal difficulty, it should be manageable.

Did you know that each act’s bounty bags have specific legendary items associated with them? If you’re searching for a particular item, you can focus your farming efforts on the corresponding bounty bags. Visit our site for a useful list of legendary items tied to each act’s bounty bags.

Rifts, Crafting, and More

Rifts, although they may feel overwhelming for solo players due to the large number of enemies, excel in a group setting. If you’re playing with others, you’ll have a more efficient experience in terms of entry fees and increased magic find. Take down massive amounts of elite packs and bosses to collect plenty of crafting materials, gems, and loot. In the past, completing Rifts rewarded players with a big bag of loot, but now the rewards are concentrated in the final boss. Make sure to defeat the final boss to claim all the goodies.

Another reason to explore Adventure mode, even if you’re not interested in bounties, is the ability to teleport to any zone without waypoints. This feature is particularly valuable for farming specific enemies and bosses. Some legendary recipes in Reaper of Souls require components that only drop from certain enemies. For example, Maghda’s Tortured Soul can only be obtained by defeating Maghda. If you’re aiming to craft the Cain’s Destiny set, you’ll need to do some Maghda farming. Additionally, take advantage of the Mystic, a helpful NPC who can reroll various stats on items to make them perfect for your build. Keep in mind that rerolling stats can be expensive on level 70 legendary gear, so only proceed if you’re confident in the item’s long-term usefulness.

Lastly, have fun and look great doing it! Visit the Mystic in town to transmogrify your items, allowing you to keep the appearance of your coolest legendary finds forever.
