Torment (difficulty)

Torment is the highest difficulty setting in Diablo III, replacing the earlier Inferno difficulty. It is unlocked when one character on the account reaches level 60, regardless of whether or not Reaper of Souls is installed. It is broken into 16 different levels, adjustable at will. It can be changed from the main menu, and decreased at any time during the game unless playing a Hardcore character.

The Infernal Machine event must be completed in Torment.

Difficulty and Rewards
With each increase in Torment, the monster difficulty and bonuses granted relative to  difficulty increase as follows:

Each level of Torment increases the chance of a legendary item to drop by roughly 15%. Imperial gems also have a chance to drop in Master and higher difficulties. At Torment VII or higher, Rift Guardians are guaranteed to drop a Forgotten Soul with increasing chance to drop the second one.

As of patch 2.3.0, four more levels of Torment difficulty were added: VII, VIII, IX, and X. However, they may not be accessed immediately. They will only being unlocked when a player either proves their worth in SOLO GRs or by being carried there by another player who can beat that level. As Patch 2.4.2 added 3 more levels, Patch 2.6.5 introduced three additional Torment levels: 14, 15, and 16.
