- +3. Farming the Materials for the Staff of Herding
Whimsyshire is a secret level in Diablo 3. It is also known as a ponylevel or the cow level. The Staff of Herding is requiredto enter the level and crafting this staff involves farming for a few differentmaterials. Entering Whimsyshire for the first time grants you theIn The Land Of Killer Unicorns achievement, which rewards you with aStars Banner Patter and a Unicorn Banner Sigil.Also, obtaining Wirt's Bell, one of the required materials forthe Staff of Herding, grants you the Wirt's Case Scenario achievement.
1. Adventure Mode or Campaign Mode and Difficulty Settings
All the materials can be farmed in both Adventure Mode or Campaign Mode.Each material can only be farmed in a very specific place, so you alwayswant to choose the mode that gives you the fastest access to that specificplace.
We farmed the staff after the release of Patch 2.1.0 and we foundthat the difficulty setting seemed to have no influence on the drop rates(we mostly played in Torment I).Note that most of the materials are not actually dropped, but rather lootedfrom objects that randomly spawn, so this may help explain why we didnot notice any conclusive change in drop rates.
2. Getting the Recipe for the Staff of Herding
The first item you will need to craft the staff is the recipe,Plan: Staff of Herding, which drops from Izual in the Act IV.
You can farm the plan in both Campaign Mode and Adventure Mode.
- In Campaign Mode, you need to:
- start a new game for Act IV, Quest 4: Prime Evil, Part 1: Begin Quest;
- port to the Crystal Colonnade waypoint;
- enter the Gateway to the Silver Spire;
- cross the bridge and enter the Silver Spire Level 1;
- find the entrance to the Great Span in the Silver Spire Level 1;
- enter the Great Span and defeat Izual.
- In Adventure Mode, you need to:
- create a game;
- port to the Act IV, Silver Spire Level 1 waypoint;
- find the entrance to the Great Span in the Silver Spire Level 1;
- enter the Great Span and defeat Izual.
As you can see, you can gain some time by playing in Adventure Mode, because youcan port directly to the Silver Spire Level 1. In Campaign Mode, you need tocross two additional zones: Crystal Colonnade and Gateway to the Silver Spire.
The recipe is not guaranteed to drop from Izual, far from that. So, you willhave to try many times before obtaining the plan. In Adventure Mode, simply leavethe game and recreate. In Campaign Mode, leave the game and resume it to resetthe quest and get Izual to spawn again.
3. Farming the Materials for the Staff of Herding
In order to craft the Staff of Herding, you will need 50,000Gold and the following items:
- Black Mushroom;
- Leoric's Shinbone;
- Wirt's Bell;
- Liquid Rainbow;
- Gibbering Gemstone.
In the console version of the game, crafting the staff only costs5,000 Gold and requires neither Leoric's Shinbone nor Liquid Rainbow.
3.1. Black Mushroom
The Black Mushroom can be found in the Cathedral Level 1, in Act I.You can farm it in both Campaign Mode and Adventure Mode.
- In Campaign Mode, you need to:
- start a new game for Act I, Quest 3: A Shattered Crown, Part 1: Begin Quest;
- port to the Cathedral Garden waypoint;
- enter the Cathedral Level 1, by going up to the Cathedral, opening its door, and going through the hole left by the meteorite;
- In Adventure Mode, you need to:
- create a game;
- port to the Act I, Cathedral Level 1 waypoint.
As you can see, reaching the Cathedral Level 1 is faster in Adventure Mode,so we advise you to use that mode to farm the Black Mushroom.
The Black Mushroom spawns in a room of very specific shape (see imagebelow), which willmost often appear in the bottom right corner of the map. So, whenever you enterthe Cathedral Level 1, explore it in such a way that you try to locatethe bottom right corner of the map. If the room there has the wrong shape,simply leave and recreate in Adventure Mode, or leave and resume in CampaignMode.
Once you find the room, you cannot miss the Black Mushroom, but here is a picture,just in case.
3.2. Leoric's Shinbone
Leoric's Shinbone, which is not required on console, can be foundin Leoric's Manor, in Act I. You can farm it in both Adventure Mode and CampaignMode.
In Campaign Mode, you need to start the game in Act I, Quest 9: The Imprisoned Angel, Part 2: The Cursed Hold.Port to the Leoric's Manor waypoint. From there, follow the route shown in the image below (in Adventure Mode, the waypoint is even closer).
In Adventure Mode, you need to port to the Leoric's Manor Courtyard waypoint in Act I.From there, use the entrance immediately next to the way point (to the northeast). Once in the Manor, clear the enemies and enter the first room on the right, before the flight of stairs,as shown in the image above.
At the end of the room in which you arrive, there is a fireplace. If there areBurnt Logs in the fireplace, click them and they will drop Leoric's Shinbone.If not, then leave the game and resume it to start over.
3.3. Wirt's Bell
Wirt's Bell is sold by Squirt the Peddler in the Hidden Camp, Act II for100,000 Gold. To get there, simply create a game in Adventure Mode and use the HiddenCamp waypoint from Act II. When you spawn in the Hidden Camp, Squirt is a few metersabove you on the screen.
3.4. Liquid Rainbow
Liquid Rainbow, which is not required on console, is found in the Mysterious Chest, which hasa chance to spawn in the Mysterious Cave in the Dahlgur Oasis, Act II.The Mysterious Cave is not a guaranteed spawn either, for you mustfirst find Zaven the Alchemist in the Dahlgur Oasis and speak to him toopen the cave, but he does not always spawn.
The first (and most important) step is to have an efficient method for findingZaven the Alchemist in the Dahlgur Oasis. As it turns out, Zaven onlyspawns in two possible locations in the Oasis (which has a map with a fixedlayout) and one of these locations is extremely close to the Path ofthe Oasis waypoint from the Campaign Mode. So, what you should dois the following:
- create a game in Campaign Mode for Act II, Quest 6: Betrayer of the Horadrim,Part 2: The Forgotten Ruins;
- follow the path in the image below;
- if Zaven the Alchemist is in the cul-de-sac, kill the enemies around him,talk to him, enter the Mysterious Cave, and explore it to find theMysterious Chest;
- if you do not find Zaven the Alchemist or if you do not find the MysteriousChest in the Mysterious cave, leave the game and resume.
Zaven can easily be missed, because you cannot interact with him untilyou have killed the nearby monsters. Also, he does not stand out very muchfrom his environment, so here is a picture of what you must be looking for.
3.5. Gibbering Gemstone
The Gibbering Gemstone has a low chance to drop from Chiltara in theCaverns of Frost Level 2, which are located in the Fields of Slaughter, Act III.
Farming the Gibbering Gemstone is the same in Adventure Mode and Campaign Mode.In Adventure Mode, you need to port to The Bridge of Korsikk waypoint. In CampaignMode, you need to create a game for Act III, Quest 6: Siegebreaker, Part I: BeginQuest, and port to The Bridge of Korsikk waypoint.
In the image above, you can see the Fields of Slaughter with The Bridge ofKorsikk waypoint in the lower left corner. The 6 possible spawn locations forthe Caverns of Frost have been marked. So, the idea is to get to the Bridge ofKorsikk waypoint and circle around the map to check all the possible spawn locations.If you find the Icefall Caves, you can leave and recreate (or resume in Campaign Mode),because there will always be exactly one subzone that you can access from theFields of Slaughter, and it will be either Icefall Caves or Caverns of Frost. Ifyou find the Caverns of Frost, head for the Level 2, find Chiltara and hopefor a drop. If she does not drop the Gemstone, simply leave and recreate(or resume in Campaign Mode).
In Adventure Mode, if you get the Bounty for the Icefall Caves, you do not evenneed to go to the Fields of Slaughter. You can recreate right away and the Cavernsof Frost will not be there.
4. Entering Whimsyshire
Diablo 3 How To Get To The Vault Online
After crafting the Staff of Herding, put it in your inventory andhead for the road to Old Tristam in Act I. In Campaign Mode, create a gamefor Act I, Quest 2: Legacy of Cain, Part 1: Begin Quest, and port to The OldRuins waypoint. In Adventure Mode, simply port to The Old Ruins waypoint inAct I.
Can I renew my license my email initially, and then come in for a late renewal when I’m certified to drive? RMV will assist you, thanks Myron. I’ll have all kinds of physicians studying me before the operation the last week in October. Driving while will substantially alter one's judgement when behind the wheel.
When you reach the waypoint, follow the path in the image above. At the quest sign,you will find the Ghost of the Cow King. Speak with him and he will transformthe red chasm next to him into a portal to Whimsyshire.

- Where and when can Treasure Goblin rifts appear? 2 answers
I've killed hundreds of goblins, on multiple difficulties, in rifts, out of rifts.. Bu no greed portal has opened yet.
I'm currently doing mainly rifts (I have a huge pile of rift fragments), so can these portals open in rifts? And do they require torment or above? Is there a level requirement before they can appear?

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
2 Answers
There isn't much known about the portal and the conditions under which it spawns. This article covers some information about Greed's Domain.
According to the article you'll need to be at least level 70 and in adventure mode for it to spawn. Also it won't spawn in (Greater) Nephalem Rifts but it can spawn in Whimsydale. Another thing to note: There is no way of increasing the likeliness of spawning one. Apparently it's completely random.
Now from personal experience: I've only been there once and while I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore diablo gamer I've killed about 150 Goblins since Patch 2.1.
So basically the only way to 'Farm' these portals is farming treasure goblins.
Although the wiki states that most player get a Portal every 15-20 goblins, I'm personally really skeptical about the numbers, since I've only entered a portal once after 150 but maybe I'm just unlucky.

The portal to The Vault will not spawn inside a Nephalem Rift (and Treasure Goblins don't spawn inside of Greater Rifts at all) and only players present in the game when the rift spawned can enter it.
Greed portals can only spawn in Level 70 Adventure mode on any difficulty.
Greed portals can only spawn in Level 70 Adventure mode on any difficulty.

- +2. Obtaining the Avarice Conquest
1. Overview of the Avarice Conquest
The Avarice (Avaritia for Hardcore) conquest requires that you complete a50 million gold streak while outside The Vault and The Inner Sanctum. Since itrequires a modest amount of preparation and resides slightly outside of thecore gameplay loop (you usually do not care about creating gold streaks), thisconquest is rated as medium difficulty.
2. Obtaining the Avarice Conquest
The first and foremost step you need to take when aiming for the Avariceconquest is to adjust the difficulty to the highest you can handle while stilloneshotting trash. A full class set can easily propel you through the Tormentdifficulties, where the natural Gold Find bonuses will assist a large portionof the Conquest on their own. Avarice can be obtained on as low as Torment VI(a trivial difficulty when wearing a set) and its 1600% gold find multiplier.Those bonuses jump to 2150% at Torment VIII, 2900% at Torment X, and all the wayto 4500% at Torment XIII. Remember that with this strategy you will mostly beclearing trash, so pick a comfortable difficulty for that purpose.
The second most important factor in the success of Avarice is using thelegendary gem Boon of the Hoarder. Boon of the Hoarder is a legendarygem obtainable from Greed's Domain — the hidden realm of treasure goblins.Every goblin kill outside Rifts has a chance to spawn a portal to that place. Youcan also open a portal by yourself by using a Puzzle Ring in Kanai's Cube.The legendary gem specifically drops from the realm's end boss, Greed herself.Socketing this gem grants a chance for extra gold drops from killed enemies (upto 100% at its max rank 50), and increases your movement speed by 30% whilepicking up gold past rank 25. Both the extra gold and the extra movement speedwill greatly improve the chance of obtaining this conquest. If you combine thepower of this gem with the Act III cache legendary Avarice Band for itsextra pickup radius, you can consider your chances more than doubled.
The third major step of completion is picking the actual place of yourattempt. Notice that the conquest explicitly forbids The Vault and The InnerSanctum, both of which reside in Greed's Domain and would trivialize thechallenge. With that in mind, you will be looking for congregations of highnumber, low health trash to maximize Boon of the Hoarder with. The ideallocations are:
- Ruins of Corvus (Act V) — the labyrinthine dungeon and its plentifulsmall scarab spawns are the default recommendation. The usual tactic is to runthrough the location once — not killing anything, but causing the scarabswarms to crawl down the walls. Once you have gone decently deep in the dungeonand hit a dead end, retread your steps — only this time, killing theplentiful trash on your way. This location will very reliably get youAvarice.
- Fields of Misery (Act I) — this wide open area has plentiful lowhealth trash. Simply start from the waypoint, hit an edge of the map, and do acircular clear of the location from there.
- The Cow Level — a portal to which opens by using aBovine Bardiche in Kanai's Cube. This is an upgraded version of aFields of Misery run, offering higher rewards and bountiful chests thatpractically ensure you attain Avarice. You can easily work around the itemcomponent requirement by upgrading rare polearms on a Crusader alt; the class'low legendary pool of the type will get you a Bovine Bardiche easily.
Carrying an unopened Cache or two from bounties can add extra safety to theattempt — if at any point it starts to look like the streak will break,simply pop the Cache and buy yourself some seconds. Also, the three locationsoffered above are by no means the only places you can get Avarice; it can easilyoccur while farming a dense Nephalem Rift. You can also double dip from a CursedChest if you are doing the 'Curses!' conquest.
More than an item's worth of Gold Find can come from Paragon points. YourUtility Paragon tab holds bonuses to Area Damage, Life per Hit, Resource CostReduction and Gold Find. Saints row 2 tag map. Even at earlier Paragon levels, you can easily respecyour points for a quick boost of Gold Find without losing meaningful characterefficiency. Remember that Paragons can be freely redistributed at any time.
Slot the highest tier Emerald gem you have in your helm, preferablyFlawless Royal Emerald. At the highest gem tier, this will net you 41%extra Gold Find — and you can easily afford the loss of CDR or Life % fromyour usual gem for a quick Avarice run.
You have two major legendary items that can greatly improve your chances atcompleting the Avarice conquest. The first (and easier) addition isLeoric's Crown, which doubles the effectiveness of the gem slotted inyour helm. You can either wear it or, better yet, select it in Kanai's Cube armorslot. If you have a Ring of Royal Grandeur at your disposal, you can alsowear Goldskin for its natural 100% increase to Gold Find and the extragold drop legendary affix. If you have not found (or saved) either of these items,consider the Upgrade Rare recipe in the Cube — they are both fairly commonand should occur within a handful of upgraded rare helms or chests.
Last but not least, remember to equip a pet (from the cosmetics menu, defaultto F1). Pets help picking up gold to keep the streak going.
2.1. The Cache Method
There is an alternative, albeit more time consuming method, that completelyremoves the RNG aspect of the runs outlined above. Bounty Caches yield fixedamounts of gold, dependent on the difficulty you get them on. To put it simply,you will need about 50 caches saved up from high difficulty bounty runs, orslightly more from lower difficulties, if you want to obtain Avarice straightfrom opening caches. Some examples:
- 57 caches (or 12 complete bounty runs) on Torment VIII;
- 46 caches (or 10 complete bounty runs) on Torment XI;
- 43 caches (or 9 complete bounty runs) on Torment XIII;
The benefit of this method is that you will gain a good amount of craftingmaterials that you are bound to need in the Season anyway, so you get two birdswith one stone.
As you open the caches, it is EXTREMELY important to stand still and unequipany pet you currently have! Both will cause the picking of gold to startprematurely and can easily ruin your gold streak. The goal is to do a shortcircular motion around the bounty drops once all caches are open, getting theAvarice conquest in one burst.
3. Recommended Builds for the Avarice Conquest
The following builds are not the only ones capable of getting Avarice done,but have been picked for their easy adjustment into the item recommendationsabove and their good AoE and maneuverability (key for the completion of theconquest).
- Barbarian: Whirlwind Build;
- Crusader: Bombardment Build;
- Demon Hunter: Multishot Build;
- Monk: Wave of Light Build;
- Necromancer: Blood Mages Build;
- Witch Doctor: Gargantuan Build;
- Wizard: Explosive Blast Build.

In Diablo III: Reaper of Souls patch 2.3.0, Blizzard added the Kanai's Cube to the game. While Blizzard drew many parallels between the item and its predecessor - the Horadric cube - there are more differences than similarities between the two items. While Kanai's Cube isn't the most difficult to understand item in gaming history, its functions can be a bit misleading.
As such, here's a guide to how you can acquire and use the Kanai's Cube in Diablo III: Reaper of Souls!
Acquiring the Cube
Finding Kanai's Cube is both simple and difficult at the same time. In order to find the elusive Kanai's Cube, players must travel through the Ruins of Sescheron. The ruins are not accessible via traditional means, as the only way to find them is by traveling through a Waypoint to Act III, where its own Waypoint can be found at the top-right corner of the map.
Once there, players must search the second area of the Ruins of Sescheron known as 'The Elder Sanctum'. Since Diablo III generates random maps each time you start a game, it can be somewhat difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the Kanai's Cube. This is further complicated by the lack of a quest marker on the mini-map.
The entrance to the Tomb of Kanai will always look like this. It is usually found in a smaller snowy area in the north-east part of the Elder Sanctum
Once located, enter the tomb and you will find Kanai's Cube waiting for you. Kanai's ghost will appear and open the barrier for you, and Zoltun Kulle will take the cube back to the base camp. At this point Kulle will act as an artisan (similar to the blacksmith, jeweler, or enchantress) where you can use the Kanai's Cube whenever you want.
Using the Kanai's Cube
Kanai's Cube is deceptively easy to understand. While it does provide you with a list of all possible recipies, what the cube is actually capable of is very poorly explained. Here's the basics:
Archive of Tal Rasha
This recipe extracts legendary powers from any weapon, armor, or jewelery players place within the cube. Players can then select any of these abilities at any time to gain their buffs without having to equip the item. However, you can only equip one ability at a time, and once you extract a legendary item's powers it is gone forever, so choose wisely.
Players can choose one power for the following classes: weapons, armor, and jewelery. This is particularly useful for amulet abilities that absorb damage from certain elements.
Law of Kulle
The Law of Kulle is a very useful ability. When this recipe is completed it will completely reset a legendary item as though the player had just picked it up. This means that you can analyze it again with the potential of awakening an 'ancient' item that will have much higher stats than regular legendaries. However, the cost of this recipe is very high, so limit its uses to items you really want to upgrade.
Hope of Cain
This recipe turns any rare item into a legendary item of the same type. When I say 'the same type' I mean it quite literally. If you place a rare mace, you'll get a legendary mace. If you place a rare amulet, you'll get a rare amulet. The list goes on..
This ability can be particularly useful for acquiring 'The Furnace', a legendary two-handed mace which has an ability that can increase your damage output exponentially. Remember, if two-handed maces aren't your style you can alway use the Archive of Tal Rasha to turn it into a passive buff!
Skill of Nilfur
This is perhaps one of the least rewarding recipes in the list. While it is useful for turning one legendary set piece into another, it can never roll an ancient quality one. Not only that, but if you use on an ancient item it will turn into a plain set item. Only use this if you have multiple identical set pieces and you want the other ones. Otherwise, don't bother.
Work of Cathan
This recipe is one of the most expensive in the game, as it requires you to have a Gem of Ease that has reached level 25. This ability completely removes level restrictions on one item. That's it. While it can be useful for raising several characters to a higher level - handing down a level 70 item to a level 1 - it has relatively little use outside of this. I would recommend only using this once on an item like a 100% buff Leoric's Crown. Otherwise, pass this one as well.
Darkness of Radament
Ever have too many of a single gem? Have a bunch of useless diamonds and amethyst that you want to get rid of? Then look no further! This recipe will turn any of your gems into a single gem type. This can be really useful for farming rubies, topaz, or emeralds to buff your characters.
Anger of Iben Fahd
Similar to Darkness of Radament, this recipe will allow you to turn any crafting material into another one. To do so, you must place the material you want to change, and one piece of armor that matches the quality of material you need. Sadly this doesn't work for Death's Breath..
But there's more!
There are two unlisted recipes that need only 1 legendary item to use. The first requires the Puzzle Ring, which will open a portal to The Vault. The other needs the Bovine Bardiche to access..a level that is certainly Not The Cow Level.
What you are seeing above is Not The Cow Level, as clearly displayed in the top-right corner of the screen. Please disregard the abundance of cows as these are not characteristic of the cow level in any way, shape, or form..
I hope that this guide clears up a little bit of the lack of clarity the Kanai's Cube has. Remember, the Kanai's Cube is a very useful item that can change up your style of gameplay and open up various new builds that were otherwise useless before. So get out there and start crafting!
