In Greater Rifts, the amount also increases with rank, and is generally higher than in normal Rifts on comparable difficulty. Rift Guardians on Normal through Torment I will drop the same amount of Blood Shards, but the amount will increase with every difficulty above Torment I. They can be picked up by simply walking over them, just like gold. They can only be used to buy items from Kadala, through gambling. They drop from Horadric Caches and Rift Guardians. The item description mentions both "low-level" and "twink(les)", possible references to using the gem to "twink" lower level characters by passing them down powerful items from high level alts.Blood Shards are an alternate currency in the Adventure Mode of Diablo III: Reaper of Souls.The name may refer to Diablo II Jewels of Freedom, which could be socketed into items to reduce requirements. For the Caldesann's Despair, any gem will work, while for the Work of Cathan, only Gem of Ease is suitable. It is the first legendary gem that can be placed into an item that isn't jewelry, and the only gem that is specifically required for the Cube recipe, Work of Cathan.The introduction of this gem, as well as that of similar bonuses in World of Warcraft, may be developers' response to third-party leveling services, making those, in fact, redundant for leveling alts.Another possible inspiration for this gem's design and description may be the Golden Scarab from Aladdin (1992).Moreover, the shape of the gem implies that it might be of Aranoch origins (the gem's design is reminiscent of the real-world Egyptian sacred scarab trinkets).
