Current Events > A couple questions about Diablo III, please

(+) Yeah! (+)

1) So I think I beat the game, it said I beat it, but when I selected my hero again, there was more. Is this the other mode Ive heard about? Mission or something?

2) In the section where you can put on cosmetic wings and stuff I keep getting Stat boosting is items, but dont know how to use them. Are they passive?

3) Im doing Hardcore Season, how do I do the Missions?

1) You can replay campaign mode after beating it, or you can switch to adventure mode.
2) Cosmetic items don't boost stats. They just make your character, baner, or portrait look different.
3) You just have to complete whatever the mission's objective is, like killing a certain boss on a certain difficulty. Some are just tougher than others.

So I've beat the game, so how do I select Adventure Mode?

I'm not talking about the cosmetic ones, I'm talking about. . .well, this is one of them I have right now -

Insolent Reward
+224 Vitality
+37% Crit Damage
+30% Magic Defense
+362 Life Each Kill

It's not an item I can equip, it's just in my menu under Items.

And now that item is gone and I have a new one. I don't know, it must be passive

what platform are you playing on? i've never heard of anything called Insolent Reward, or anything in the cosmetic tab that isn't purely cosmetic.

Sounds like a random yellow that is a class specific item for a different class.

Even though I hate it, I guess Ill ask on Reddit.

Ps4?

Pretty sure that item is for the enchantress, one of the 3 followers. If you're playing console version it's in the same section as crafting/gems/cosmetic.

I think to change to Adventure mode you need to go on change difficulty, then there's a tab to the side? Might be remembering that wrong though.

Theres like 30 different difficulty modes.

nah. there is a few difficulty modes, and then Torment 1 through 13.

The grifts though have a scaling mode starting at 1 and going up to whatever. There's no upper limit it just keeps getting harder.

Thank you, everyone. I'll take a picture of one of those "Items" I'm talking about. They come and go and right now I don't have one

Okay, so I'm level 61 and I picked Expert when I started up Adventure Mode. I've cleared the first few areas easily enough, but I know things are going to get harder. What should be some of my goals right now be? My Blacksmith is leveled up to my Level, but I haven't done much with the Jewels or the Mystic.

I also have no idea what to do with these Blood Gems I've started to collect, lol

But I'm liking it. I like the new Goblin guys

I'm also playing as a Wizard, since I'm asking for help so often

Blood gems are for gambling on items. You can only have a limited amount so spend them constantly

You should do the seasonal rewards quests to get set items. There is a little leaf icon at the top right where you can see progress and objectives.

First goal in adventure should probably be Kanai's Cube. You'll find it in a new area at the top right of Act 3's map. It lets you do many things, but the most important is the ability to break down legendary items and store their effect, then you can equip 3 of those effects without the item (1 weapon/offhand, 1 armour and 1 ring/amulet).

Getting the difficulty up to at least torment 1 is a good idea, the extra exp and legendary drop rate will help you get stronger stuff quicker.

If you've not been using the gems/mystic, they'll be a good way to give your stats a bit of a boost.

Bigger gems = stronger effect so combining them is good. It's usually best to socket an emerald in your weapon, and whatever boosts your main stat in your armour. If you're using a lot of skills with cooldowns, put the biggest diamond you can make in your headgear.

The mystic lets you change properties on yellow or legendary items, very useful if you get something with +fire damage when you're using ice skills, or get didn't get a socket on your weapon. One thing to remember, there are 2 sets of properties, one with things like sockets, damage and stats, the other has things like stun chance and pickup range. You can only change properties to something in the same group, there's a way to check ehat they can change to if you're unsure.

The Blood shards you've been finding are spent at one of the new npcs in towns, there should be a blood shard symbol on your map. I'd recommend saving them until you're level 70, unless you can't pick any more up.

Completing rifts or doing the bounties for Tyrael are good ways to get exp and loot quickly.
