This post is aimed at new and returning Diablo 3 players, and contains lots of facts and info about the game and how to play it. Feel free to also drop any other protips in the comment field, and I will include them here in future updates.
- Creating a seasonal hero will unlock the Adventure Mode automatically. You regularly need to beat the Story Mode to unlock this mode.
- Adventure Mode lets you do rifts and bounties.
- Rifts have higher chance of dropping legendary items, and also drop keys for Greater Rifts.
- Greater Rifts is an infinite progression system where you have to beat a rift and the boss within a 15 minute timeframe. Completing this successfully gives you a chance to upgrade legendary gems.
- Bounties award special materials that can be used to craft legendary items and used for recipes at Kanai's Cube.
- Using a Puzzle Ring at Kanai's Cube will open a portal to The Vault - an instance that contains a lot of goblins, an insane amount of gold (especially at lower levels) and a boss that drops at least two legendary items.
- The difficulty system gives you more XP and higher legendary drop chance for each difficulty level.
- The stash is shared across all heroes at the same game mode, for a total of four (normal softcore, normal hardcore, seasonal normal and seasonal hardcore).
- Once you reach max level the XP you gain is awarded towards your Paragon Level. Each new Paragon Level lets you add a point towards a stat.
- There is an infinite amount of Paragon Levels, but each level takes more time than the last one. At 800 and up all new levels gives you +5 points to either your main offensive stat, or +5 towards Vitality.
- Seasons comes with a Season Journey. These are kind of like achievements that you can complete, and gives you rewards such as a 6 piece set for your hero, as well as vanity items such as portrait frames, pets, pennants etc.
- There are still items in the game that has yet to be found by a player, such as the Fallen Pennant.
- Pressing F1 on your keyboard opens the cosmetic tab that allows you to equip pets, pennants, portrait frames and wings.
- Once you have reach level 70 you should work towards getting a set of Legendary Items. The set bonuses are extremely powerful, and are mandatory to be able to clear high level Greater Rifts.
- Each class set also has a Set Dungeon. Completing all of this with any class awards a set of vanity wings that can be equipped.
- There is not a lot of online play at lower levels, but once you hit max level, there will always be a lot of other players in the public games.
- Save at least one of your nice Legendary Items for Kanai's Cube. These can be used as a passive bonus once the cube has been unlocked.
- Always do the bonus act when doing a bounty, as a new act will be the bonus act once the current bonus act has been completed. The bonus act awards twice the amount of caches / loot.
- Gems can be upgraded for more powerful gems at the jeweler. Each new tier of gems require 3 of the previous tier.
- Greater Rift bosses drop Legendary Gems which can be slotted onto the two rings and the amulet. These are very powerful, and can be upgraded by running Greater Rifts.
- You can get plans for your Blacksmith from doing bounties, and from Odious Collector (a goblin type).
- Vanity pets pick up gold automatically. They can be gotten from menagerist goblin, or from other drops (such as the Liv Moore pet).
- If you find a weapon with a socket at low level, use a ruby or emerald gem in it to increase your damage by a lot!
