Item drop and difficulty.

[GUMO]

i'm in act 4 Epic now and i've been farming the secret passage and i've a question here:
is items drops affected by difficulty?
I mean is there is a limit for what can i get in Epic and this limit will be no more once i start in legendary?

Well, assuming I'm understanding what you're asking, there is some sort of limit. There are legendary items that can only be obtained on legendary mode. Once you start legendary, the better items will start dropping, but some of the others will continue to drop.

Thank you very much.
As you can see English isn't my first language so sorry for that.

[ASYLUM101]

Your english isn't bad, it's just the wording is kind of vague.

There are both difficulty specific and act specific items.

Paradoxically, some of the best items don't drop the further you go. Many consider Ferrus Gnosi to be one of the best, if not the best, purple armour. Yet it only drops in Act I Legendary. Once you reach Act II, you can't find it anymore.

While it doesn't seem to make sense, the upside is that it prevents people from just parking off in Act IV Legendary and farming. If you want all the game's top items (including the best artifacts), you have to farm in every Act.

Thanx every one for the great tips
