A curious Diablo 4 player on Reddit recently put in the grind and saved up 137 Seasonal Caches, opening them all at once to test what kind of loot these boxes really give, and the results might surprise you.
You can take a look at the original post here:
The player shared the drop data after opening 100 of the caches (with more remaining, but the sample was already telling). Here is a small breakdown!
What Is Inside a Seasonal Cache?
To give you a small reminder of what can technically drop from those seasonal caches, here is a recap of the type of content you can obtain:
- 2x non-Greater Affix legendaries
- 1x Greater Affix (GA1+) legendary
- 1x Greater Affix 1+ unique
- Roughly 3-4 million gold (after selling unwanted loot)
No other items dropped, no gems, no runes, no tributes, making these caches very predictable, but also revealing in terms of higher-tier affix chances.
Drop Rate Results
The player opened a total of 100 caches from the 137 he had originally in stock. This gave him a total of 400 items. Here are the different types of items he got:
- 200 non-Greater Affix legendaries
- 186 Greater Affix 1 legendaries
- 12 Greater Affix 2 items (6 legendaries, 6 uniques)
- 2 Greater Affix 3 items (1 legendary, 1 unique)
- 0 Greater Affix 4
- 0 Mythics
Other players were rather surprised at the lack of 4 greater affixes after that many caches. No Mythics or Greater Affixes 4 dropped in the entire sample. And Greater Affix 2+ drop rate was around 14% of the guaranteed Greater Affix 1+ items.
Here is a breakdown of those Greater Affixes 1+ drops:
- 93% Greater Affix 1
- 6% Greater Affix 2
- 1% Greater Affix 3
- 0% Greater Affix 4
The best item from the entire batch seemed to a 3 Greater Affix 
Strike of Stormhorn, which is not bad, but far from a jackpot.
While this is not an official data set, it gives you a real idea of what to expect when hoarding Seasonal Caches. The drop rates for top-tier affixes (GA3 and GA4), and especially Mythics, appear to be extremely low or outright excluded from these caches.
If you are farming Mythics or GA4 Uniques, Seasonal Caches might not be the place to look. Still, they are a reliable source of gold at least!
