Diablo III Ancient Legendary drop rate

diablo-3

Now that ancient legendaries have been introduced, a lot of end-game is trying to acquire ancient legendary versions of your legendary gear for the improved stats.

An ancient legendary Cindercoat has 20-50% improved stats across the board

Assuming I only run greater rifts, what's the drop chance/rate for an ancient legendary based on my greater rift level? Is there a way to improve my chances other raising my greater rift level, like increasing my magic find?

Best Answer

The 2.1.2 patch notes that introduced Ancient legendaries stated that they could only drop from Torment I and higher:

  • Ancient items can now drop at Torment I or higher
    • The drop chance will increase with each Torment level

Based on the Diablo Wiki, the chances go from 1.5% for Torment I, up to 10% for T6.

The odds increase on higher levels of Torment, from around 1.5% on Torment 1 up to 10% on Torment 6 (from monster drops).

Note that this doesn't include Kadala or crafting; those chances are not known, but are probably a set rate to preclude doing so in T6 to maximize chances.
