Diablo – Under what conditions does Malthael drop legendary pieces or plans

diablo-3

After first beating Malthael in Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls, I received 3 legendary drops.

  1. Reaper's Wraps
  2. Reaper's Fear
  3. A legendary pair of boots that dropped probably because I was lucky.

While I'm fairly certain that the boots were a random drop, I don't think I could get as lucky to get Reaper's Wraps and Fear without there being a method to their drops.

Are all of these drops random? Do you always get the crafting material with the plan? I think that the Reapers items only drop upon killing Malthael, but I killed him again and I did not get any legendaries.

How can I get more of these legendary drops?

The fear is random, some people need to farm him over and over to get 1 When you first kill him you get a guaranteed legendary, thus the boots. Reset your quests and you'll get another. The plan all my friends got on their first kill as well so not sure.
