Kadala: Blood Shard Prices

How to read the table

Each row is one of the mystery items Kadala sells, grouped into weapons, armor and jewelry. Next to it you see the price in Blood Shards, the required level and the equipment slot. You will find nine items under armor, six under weapons and two under jewelry. The slot stays empty for the one-handed and two-handed weapon because the game files do not assign them a fixed equipment slot. According to the game files, all 17 items require level 16. What you actually get from a purchase is rolled by the server. The game files contain nothing about that, which is why you will not find any odds here.

Prices by category

Under armor, each of the nine items costs 25 Blood Shards: head, torso, hands, feet, shoulders, waist, legs, wrists and the shield. Under jewelry, a ring costs 50 and an amulet 100 Blood Shards, twice as much as a ring, which makes the amulet the most expensive purchase at Kadala. Under weapons, one-handed and two-handed weapons cost the same, 75 each, so a two-hander is no more expensive than a one-hander.

Class-only off-hands

Four items are limited to one class: the orb to Wizards, the mojo to Witch Doctors, the quiver to Demon Hunters and the phylactery to Necromancers. They sit under weapons but cost only 25 Blood Shards, the same as an armor piece. The shield, on the other hand, is not tied to any class in the game files and is listed under armor. That makes five off-hand items in total: the shield with no class restriction and the four class-only ones. If you play one of those four classes, your own off-hand is among the cheapest things Kadala sells.

What the prices mean for your shards

Prices come in four steps: 25, 50, 75 and 100 Blood Shards. It helps to weigh them against each other: one amulet costs as much as four armor pieces or two rings, and one weapon as much as three armor pieces. Buying each of the eight armor slots once, shield not included, comes to 200 Blood Shards. How many purchases it takes to get a specific item cannot be read from the game files. The table only tells you what each single attempt costs.
