Death's Breath (DB) is a [[crafting]] [[material]] that may be dropped by [[Elite]]s, [[Treasure Goblin]]s, and [[Resplendent Chests]] above level 61 in [[Reaper of Souls]]. DBs are not found in Diablo 3. This material is the higher tier version of the [[Demonic Essence]] crafting material, which has the same drop rates from the same sources, though only from enemies and targets below level 61.
Deaths Breaths are not a [[legendary material]], though they are required in virtually all level 60+ and [[end game]] crafting recipes in Reaper of Souls. These include [[training]] [[Artisan]]s, [[enchanting]], upgrading [[gems]] ([[Royal ]] and [[Flawless Royal ]] quality), and [[crafting]].
Since Death's Breath are [[account bound]] (BoA), drop primarily from Elites, and drop at higher rates on higher difficulties, they may can function as a [[bottleneck]] on crafting and other item upgrading functions in Reaper of Souls, forcing . Most players to spend a fair amount felt this acutely when first starting out in Reaper of time playing the game Souls, since Artisan training and harvesting almost all item enchanting requires Death's Breaths (, but the shortage didn't last long and other materials/gems) rather than simply buying or trading for them. (The bottleneck effect is strongest for new most players to Reaper have hundreds of Souls. After some weeks of play time most players accumulate a surplusDeath's Breaths stacked up not long after they begin farming at level 70.)
==Death's Breath Drop Rates==
Blizzard provided the drop rates for Deaths Breaths when complaints about their infrequency were voiced shortly after the launch of Reaper of Souls. These drop rates are the same for [[Demonic Essence]] and all [[legendary materials]], when counted from valid sources.
* [[Normal]] – 15%
