I was changing the difficulty for Diablo 3 when I saw these details:

enter image description here

What are bounties and blood shards for? I must have missed some kind of update that tells me what this is all about.

  • These might be an expansion only feature. Bounties are quests offered to go out into the wilderness and kill a specific target, but I don't know if its implemented.

  • I believe both are part of Adventure Mode (expansion content). But might show up in ActV or during 61+ leveling (still expansion content).

If you have RotS expansion you can play in adventure mode. When you start the game with these options you will be given 25 random bounties scattered around all 5 towns(5 for each).

These bounties will be simple randomly generated tasks like killing a certain boss or champion monster,clearing whole area from monsters,certain dungeon dungeon or event... Which is a fun way to break the monotony of standard quests you got fed up with.

Upon completing a bounty you will be rewarded with gold,experience,horadric cache(drops random loot when used) and blood shards.For completing all 5 bounties in single act,you will get greater horadric cache and chance of Rift Keystone.

Blood Shards are used for gambling(buying unidentified items) from Kadala. And to buy greater horadric caches from Lorath Nahr(not sure if they changed this).
