Currently, the trifecta stats are virtually unchanged. There are very few changes in how D3V affixes work on items in Reaper of Souls.

(Which is wildly too low for 2H theyвЂ™re even more useless in RoS than in D3V.) ThatвЂ™s a lot more than double the best DPS you can find in D3V, and with the other item stats much the same, almost every player can count on finding a considerable weapon upgrade by level 65. YouвЂ™ve seen the screenshots good 1H weapons in RoS deal 3400 DPS while two-handers do 4200+. Wins by sheer weight of stats.I could easily have included weapons in the first category, since they are laughably useless in RoS. Much more on the click through, covering the gear that youвЂ™ll immediately upgrade, and that which you wonвЂ™tвЂ¦ Basically you donвЂ™t find anywhere near enough of them to do more than like one craft a day on the higher end stuff, with the bottleneck coming mostly from new white materials, which can only be obtained from Horadric Goodie Bags and from salvaging white items, which hardly ever drop.Д«lizzard has suggested that theyвЂ™ll add 10-to-1 upgrade recipes to turn current materials into the new Reaper of Souls end game materials, which will help those of you with thousands of Tomes of Secret, but thatвЂ™s about their only possible value come RoS conversion. I certainly hope so, since they are currently confused, redundant, and very unbalanced in their availability vs. The only disclaimer for this issue is the fact that crafting mats are very likely to receive a major balance patch. All the current D3V materials (including Brimstones and Tomes of Secret) are found from drops and/or salvage out of low and mid level items in Reaper of Souls, while the materials you need for end game crafting, Artisan training, etc, come chiefly from salvaging newly-found level 70 gear. The problem for D3V mats is that those are not the top level materials in RoS. I liquidated my D3V gems the first day of the Reaper of Souls beta.Д¬ommodity soup :subject to change.Crafting materials are useful in Reaper of Souls and there are hundreds of new blacksmith recipes, including dozens of new legendary item sets, and they drop regularly too IвЂ™ve found 5 or 6 already (2 of them end game level, the others lower) after never finding a single one in my entire D3V play time. You regularly find Marquise and the lowest level of Imperial even on Normal difficulty, and while gems are likely to change in balancing (the costs to upgrade and unsocket now arenвЂ™t so much unbalanced as incomplete) itвЂ™s obvious that gem stats need to greatly increase given how much stat bonuses have. Gems are comically worthless Marquise Gems, the highest level in Diablo 3 now are the new baseline drop in the end game of Reaper of Souls, with six more levels of gems added above Marquise: three qualities of Imperial and 3 of Royal. (Gold is useful in RoS, though much less all powerful than in D3.) If you want to bet that the game stays much the same at release as it is now, you should sell all of your gems and materials at once, while they still hold value.

All gems, plus Tomes of Secret, Demonic Essences, and everything else you get from salvaging is virtually worthless in RoS. The most obvious change is the completely worthless nature of every Diablo 3 commodity in Reaper of Souls. Read on for the details.Д3 Commodities are Worthless in Reaper of Souls

ThatвЂ™s the very quick version, glossing over some distinctions and exceptions.

Top quality D3V still viable in RoS: Rings, amulets, gloves, Mempo of Twilight.

Easily upgraded in RoS: Boots, belts, shoulders, bracers, chest armor, most helms, shields, orbs, mojos, quivers.

Dump them now: All D3V commodities and gems.

This is why I sold all my D3V gems.That said, hereвЂ™s what we know after one week of testing.
