eld.gg Diablo 4 Items: Seasonal Reputation Caches

What Are Greater Affixes and Diablo 4 Items Why Do They Matter?

Not all legendary items in Season 9 are equal. Greater Affixes (GAs) are enhanced versions of standard affixes, marked by a star next to the stat line.

Why they matter:

Stronger Rolls: A GA affix has higher values than normal affixes.

Meta Defining: GA rolls, especially on ancestral gear, can make or break a build.

Stackable Power: When combined with multiple GAs and the right legendary aspect, you're holding jackpot-tier gear.

In short, GA ancestral items are the best loot in the game, and the entire farming meta revolves around stacking as many of these as possible.

How Legendary Diablo IV Items Drop in Season 9

Here's a quick breakdown of some tested legendary sources:

Whisper Tree Caches (World Tier 4)

Gloves Cache: ~5 legendaries, occasional GA

Rings Cache: 5-7 legendaries, almost no GA

Amulet Cache: 12-13 legendaries, sometimes 1 ancestral GA

Expect: 1 GA every 3-4 caches

Seasonal Reputation Caches

From 5 caches opened:

6 ancestral legendaries with GA

5 uniques

10 standard legendaries

On average: 1 ancestral GA + 2 legendaries + 1 unique per cache.

While decent, these methods pale in comparison to the Pit and cheap Diablo 4 materials Tribute farming.
