Are Elder Rifts worth it if you are looking for loot in Diablo Immortal – even if you don’t use expensive emblems? A player has now tested this and completed 1,000 Rifts.
The player and reddit user remik09 has tested how many legendary items can actually be obtained from Elder Rifts through an experiment. His results after 1,000 portals are:
- 52 legendary items
- of which 9 are stronger than what he was already wearing
- with a duration of about 2 minutes per Rift, that’s 33 hours and 20 minutes of farming
- which corresponds to a drop approximately every 20th Rift or every 40 minutes
remik09 also has a combat rating of 2,364 and a Paragon of over 90. Accordingly, he is probably currently in Hell 3, where many players are stuck or beginning with Hell 4. He plays a Necromancer.
It is important that he did not use any emblems, neither rare nor legendary. Therefore, he had no chance of the coveted legendary gems or runes and sparks.
In the video, we explain how the gems work and where you can find them:
Magic Find does not increase the chance of a drop
This may sound low, but according to remik09, Rifts have an advantage: they do not require a combat rating. This can only be increased through stronger loot or legendary gems.
Many players are currently stuck at Hell 3 because they lack the rating. However, to get better loot, you must meet certain prerequisites.
Here’s how to get better loot: In the reddit thread, players discussed the bonus of the Magic Find value (short ‘MF’). In Diablo games, this usually increases the chance of getting strong items.
However, in Diablo Immortal, the value seems to work differently. The higher the value, the higher your chance is for an item to have good stats, thus representing an upgrade. However, the number of drops remains the same.
To increase the quality, you also need to complete Challenge Rifts. Loot from Hell 3 is possible from Challenge Rift 60 onwards.
If you have trouble with the portals, get help from other players. You can find the best classes in our Tier List for Diablo Immortal and in the video gameplay for all classes:
For a quick round in between, Elder Rifts are at least worth it if you have little time and are satisfied with a small chance for better loot. remik09 now intends to complete 500 dungeons and determine the chance for loot there. Someone has already tried something similar before:
