Notes

• Correction: The Logbook Entry for Sonorous Whispers is incorrect. The formula is actually $4+(1\times stacks)$, meaning that the item actually is 5% (+1% per stack).
• Sonorous Whispers is affected by Luck.
• The rarity chances for the item drop are 89.91%/9.99%/0.1%. This is affected by the drop chance bias.
• "Large Monsters" are classified as boss-type enemies, whether they be world-spawn or event bosses.

Lore

A tidepool lapped gently at the silty edge of the grotto.
A soldier clumsy with darkness scrounged for supplies on the shoreline, a broken arm bound in splint and linen.
A small chest is emptied, something stowed in the pocket of the soldier.
A conch next, heavy with silt, he holds it to his ear.
A drip of red trails his neck, stemming from his ear, unnoticed in the dark.
A turn to leave the grotto, he spots a small chest once again sealed.
A soldier empties it once more with a shaking hand.

Trivia

• The chance of getting a legendary drop from an elite with 1 stack of Sonorous Whispers is approximately 1 in 27283 elite kills, making it an even rarer drop that its aspect.
• While the item's functionality has not changed since the release of Seekers of the Storm, initially the internal name for the item was ResetChests, which may hint to a reworked functionality before the expansion's release. Its internal name was finally updated in Patch v1.3.7 to better represent its actual functionality.
