You cannot get them from Kadala or upgrades through Kanai’s Cube, so they won’t show up as part of your start-of-season process. This is one of the few times we can’t blame Kadala, folks.

Ethereals are drop-only, and they will drop at any level.

(Provided you unlock them with a feat of strength.) However, once you collect an ethereal, it will live forever in your transmog options.

Ethereal items are only here for the duration of the season. The preview blog describes them as “rare, powerful, and fleeting items.” They will not suffer from durability loss, but they also only drop during the season.

Here’s what we know about how Ethereal items work: But will Ethereal items be the same as their original Diablo 2 counterparts? Let’s find out.

If it's better than what you use equip it and save the old one for reforging later.Season 24 is here! This Diablo 3 season is a special one, as the entire theme of Ethereal Memory is in honor of the upcoming release of Diablo 2: Resurrected.

If i still didn't get a upgrade, then I'll reforge the ones I have and hope for a better one. I spend all the shards from the caches on that item type, if I don't get an upgrade from the shards I upgrade the rares I got from gambling. I do that by running bounties and killing all elite packs while doing so to collect mats for all types of crafting. Then I decide what my worst piece of gear is and focus on upgrading it until it isn't the worst anymore. That being said, what I usually do to gear up is upgrading rares and converting set items until I get all the pieces that I need. If it's a set item however, you can convert it to another piece of the same set with the cube (doesn't work for sets with only 2 items). Reforging will only re-roll the stats on an item but keep the base item the same. I may be a bit confused by your question, but if you're missing items reforging won't help you.
