With Diablo III out this week, we suspect you haven't totally be focusing on WoW these past few days. We've been having a blast in Sanctuary too, and noticed little details that reminded us of Azeroth along the way, like constantly killing Community Manager Zarhym.
Finding little details like that is a ton of fun, so we put together a list of references between the two games: both references to WoW found in Diablo III, and references to Diablo I and II found in WoW. The Diablo items listed are from our sister site,
D3DB
: in addition to a database, the site has awesome tools such as a
character planner
, all the
datamined lore journals
, and
skill calculator
(you
do
know about elective mode, right?).
WoW References in Diablo III
NPCs
Murlocs make an appearance in this amulet:
The Murlocket
. It even has a murloc icon and the flavor text references the distinctive murloc grumble:
Dredged from the murky shores of Lake Chu, this disturbing amulet emits strange sounds when held to one's ear.
In the Mountains
: This Act I achievement for exploring the Highlands references the popular
托里姆
meme from his dialogue at the start of the encounter.
The achievement for acquiring follower tokens,
I Got What You Need
has always been one of the money-loving Goblin NPC quotes.
基赫纳斯
from Molten Core is the namesake for these pants with fire resistance:
Gehennas
.
Sarkoth
, a quill elite found in an Act I cellar, is a joke on
萨科斯
, one of the first mobs Horde players face.
The Lich King's helm
is found in an Ice Cave in Act III.
Expansions
Several of WoW's expansions make appearances as weapons:
Wrath of the Bone King
Cataclysm
. The name is fairly generic, but the flavor text relates to the expansion:
A weapon of myth and legend. Some say that to use it is folly—that it will rip the land asunder and boil the oceans.
WoW encourages you to stand in the fire (
玩火自焚
), while Diablo III does not (
Don't Stand in the Fire
)
Achievements
斯拉德兰
in Gundrak and
Belial
in Act II share the same achievement inspired by
Raiders of the Lost Ark
:
蛇。为什么是蛇?
/
Why'd It Have To Be Snakes?
Looting a
提古勒的签名照
in Alterac Valley and completing Act IV on Normal difficulty with a Barbarian reward these similar-sounding achievements, named after a popular political phrase:
曝光的照片
/
To The Victor Go The Spoils
.
Weapons
Many crafted weapons share similar names in Diablo and WoW. They're not the most distinctive names, but there could be intentional references. For example:
黑色卫士
, a crafted tanking epic weapon with insane mats back in vanilla:
Blackguard
, a legendary weapon with defensive stats.
命令头盔
, a crafted rare dps helm:
The Helm of Command
, legendary helm taught by trainer.
Warmonger
, a 2H sword in Diablo III, has an icon that resembles the model of
好战者
in WoW, a wide rectangular sword with a red center.
During beta on battle.net, the entry for
Doombringer
used to be about a legendary weapon called
Thunderfury
, with flavor text mentioning Al'Akir.
Ashelia looted a fist weapon called
Pandemonium's Paw
while leveling--it's for monks-only too.
Community
Bashiok
, the community lead for Diablo III, is a rare with his own achievement:
Bashanishu
. This achievement requires the player to damage Bashiok with
Rakanishu's Blade
, found after completing the
Shrine of Rakanishu
event in the Act II Oasis, which is a similarly tricky encounter. Diablo II players will remember Rakanishu also as the first Lightning Enchanted boss in the game, showing how resistance gear is useful.
Not to be outdone, World of Warcraft community manager
Zarhym
has a popular spawn, and there's even a
thread about it
.
Elitist Jerks
: Someone got frustrated by the banhammer too much at
Elitist Jerks
and named an achievement dedicated to killing elites after the popular theorycrafting site.
It's not specifically a Warcraft reference, but a neat community Easter Egg is
Developer's Hell
, a dungeon that has
all the Diablo III staff wandering about as zombies
. Killing
Jay Wilson
, the Game Director of Diablo III, rewards the Feat of Strength
Smash! Jay, Smash!
There's also the
Quality Well
, which features the undead QA team. WoW has done some similar staff tributes with
Lake Dumont
in Feralas and
The Assurance
in Stormwind, a ship filled with members of the Burning Crusade Testing and QA teams.
For the achievement
Haunted
, you'll need to kill the
Dataminer <Unearths Spoils>
, a reference to what we do every patch :)
Diablo I and II References in WoW
Vanity Items
泰瑞尔的天使战马
was a reward for participating in WoW's Annual Pass, which also rewarded players who signed up for 12 months of WoW with free Diablo III and beta access. This item is no longer available.
魔卒萨满之矛
looks like a Fetish Shaman from Diablo II. It is obtained by purchasing Diablo III: Collector's Edition. He's got some neat animations--constantly babbling, bouncing around, and occasionally breathing the Diablo III trademark.
泰瑞尔的剑柄
, summoning mini-Tyrael, was a gift inside the Paris Worldwide Invitation 2008 goody bag. It was made in limited quantities and the code can still fetch quite a bit of cash.
破坏神之石
summons Mini Diablo, <Lord of Terror> as a reward from the Collector's Edition of WoW's launch. The pet will occasionally levitate and spit fire into the air.
奔波尔菠萝
is a WoW-Diablo hybrid--a merlon from a corrupt soulstone. He likes to breathe a lot of fire and smoke, as well as make typical murloc grunts with a demonic accent.
Gear
阿格曼奇之戒
pays tribute to
Nagelring
in Diablo II, a unique ring known for its large boost to magic find. They both share the bizarre feature of having the attacker take 3 damage.
抛光胸甲
is a reference to the
Illuminated Jazeraint
items players could craft in Diablo II.
圣者指环
references a legendary ring, the
Hierophant's Seal
in Diablo II.
圣使护符
references one of the cults in Sanctuary, which posed as a peaceful organization yet served the Prime Evils. It's fitting that this item drops from Scarlet Monastery, another example of religion gone bad.
Many base armor types from Diablo II are referenced in WoW BoE sets, such as
执政官护胸
,
蛇皮护甲
,
雕花板甲
,
野战板甲
,
哥特板甲
.

雷德的神圣控诉者
,
雷德的部族护卫者
: Best known to players now as the namesake for the heirloom
破旧的雷德神圣控诉者
, it's a tribute to a weapon set in Diablo II: LoD,
Bul-Katho's Children
, which also consists of a Sacred Charge and Tribal Guardian.
屠夫的切肉斧
from Shadowfang Keep's
屠夫拉佐克劳
has the exact same name and weapon type as the loot drop from Diablo I's Butcher.
厄运制造者
: it's lacking good stats, but it's named after
Doombringer
, a two-handed sword with great stats in all three Diablo games.
迅击匕首
: this low-level BoE dagger references
The Diggler
from Diablo II: LoD, a dirk effective in early levels too.
缝衣针
could be a reference to the Halo weapon or
The Needler
from Diablo I.
天堂之光
: named after
Heaven's Light
from Diablo II, one of two unique Mighty Scepters in the game.
恐怖收割者
: named after
Grim Reaper
war scythe from Diablo II: LoD, which also was a weapon that was best at lower levels with a damage proc.
石像鬼之牙
is a low-level BoE with additional armor, named after
Gargoyle's Bite
from Diablo II, a winged harpoon with life leech.
Locations
Stone Cairn Lake
in
艾尔文森林
is a lake with an island at the center that has five stones arranged around a memorial. This is most likely a reference to the
Five Cairn Stones
, an area in Diablo II where you open a portal to Tristram in Act I.
牛王之皮
is a reference to the Secret Cow Level, the Moo Moo Farm, in Diablo II, which contained
Hell Bovines
and the
Cow King
.
One of the loading screens for WoW has "There is no cow level" as a tip.
三态护腿
is named after
Tristram
, one of the most important locations in all Diablo games.
NPCs
卡加尼舒
, a kobold in Borean Tundra, is a play on
Rakanishu
from Diablo II. Similar to the Diablo boss, the nearby NPCs will scream out his name in all caps in combat.
屠夫拉佐克劳
in Shadowfang Keep references the iconic early boss of the same name in Diablo I, brought back as the Act I boss in Diablo III:
The Butcher
.
泰莱尔·火吻
is an General Goods vendor at the Shattered Sun Offensive.
魔女之毒
, formerly used by rogues to brew poison, references Andariel, the Maiden of Anguish. She was the first act boss in Diablo II and had a nasty Poison Spray ability.
南海之灯
is named after
Wirt
, an annoying vendor in Diablo I who would only sell you one expensive item--after you paid 50g to view it. His leg was amputated and replaced with a wooden leg after an attack on his village. In Diablo II, Wirt is dead and his corpse has a ton of gold (for taking all that money in Diablo I) as well as his leg, which is used to open the Secret Cow Level. In Diablo III, you'll need to buy
Wirt's Bell
as one of the steps to access the new secret level,
Whimsyshire
.
