On PC, you’ll pick up shards until your cap, and the remainder will be left on the ground. So if you have 475/500 shards and a 30 stack drops, you’ll cap and have 5 shards on the ground.

On Switch, the 30 stack will stay on the ground and the game will tell you you’re capped.

Oh, okay. That's clearer. I understand now, thanks.

I often have to do this! To the point that I pre-spend a little before a rift so I don’t have to do the back-and-forth.

I'm on PC, but I'll still gamble a truckload of belts to get every last drat blood shard on the ground.


Except when I reflexively talk to Bore-ek and close the rift with abandoned loot :cry:

For Greater Rifts, the trick is to not do your gem upgrades until you've solved your loot situation. You can't reflex close a completed GR until you do the gems.

So I figure this is as good a place to ask as any, I got a new phone number and I'm trying to link it to my authenticator. I tried disabling and resetting it on the blizzard website and they both require a code texted to my old number which is no longer active. Do I bite the bullet and call blizz customer service or did I miss a step somewhere or what?

Just call customer service and be ready to send a photo of your DL. Besides that annoying part and the wait times its actually a fairly smooth process.

The console versions of Diablo III keeping you from picking up a stack of blood shards because it would put you over the cap is a new one to me. I don't understand why it doesn't just pick it up and drop whatever the difference is. But y'all are going through weird rituals when you could just leave them on the ground and move on to your next rift. I have a cap of 1,800 blood shards on season and I'm not in a hurry to maximize spending them all when it's just gonna be this:

Unrealized gains, non-liquid assets!

Although that is a pretty good number for this far into the season. My group usually does an every other week thing of just burning rings and cows for 1-2 hours to empty out our stashes during seasons.

Once you have a functional gear set, the only reason to keep cow sticks is because they each contain 2 pools of reflection.

It can be both fun to do and for getting two knowledge pools real fast before GR turn-in

For those this isn't clear on--the cow level always spawns with two knowledge pools. People running very high level grifts, especially in groups, set the game difficulty to normal and will open up a cow portal to get to the two knowledge pools in the level (as well as other easy-to-reach pools). In group play, because of the zdps builds in the group or fragility of the trash killer or RGK killer in the group, it's better to have the game difficulty set to normal to avoid accidental deaths and loss of accumulated knowledge pools. The knowledge pool bonus applies to the experience you get when you turn in the quest.

I got in. The options were PC or console and PC. I don't have a PC, but I play D3 on MacOS. no idea if PC includes that or not. At least I can play on PS5 if that's the case.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

Really curious to hear about how much of an impact your paragon board can make to your build and what kind of build diversity we can expect. Yay Diablo.
