How to unlock the Friends with Benefits achievement in Diablo III - Definitive Guide

This is a fairly straightforward achievement. Each follower has 6 equipment slots: Main hand, off-hand, neck, 2 ring slots and a "Follower Item" slot. Follower Items are rare drops with random magic effects and can only be equip by followers. The Enchantress equips Focuses, the Scoundrel equips Tokens and the Templar equips Relics.

It's also worth noting that you receive 20% of your followers Gold Find and Magic Find as bonus to your own.

Press the 'Back' button on your controller and use LB/RB to navigate to the Follower tab. Here's a picture (the Follower Item slot is highlighted): http://imgur.com/fo6ujTp
You equip items on your follower the same way you do your character.

When do follower items start dropping? I know it is rare, but can they drop in the original playthrough and if so can they drop early or is it one of those items which won't drop until a high difficulty playthrough?

I only found 1 or 2 follower items during my normal playthrough and it wasn't until ACT IV. I found they dropped more in Nightmare mode. Didn't pay much attention to them in Hell or Inferno so I'm not sure if they offer better chances.

I managed to get both a Relic and several Tokens in Act II, not sure about Focuses (if I did get any I would have sold them without noticing)

If you don't want to be bothered to give him weapons, you can just unequip and then reequip the weapons and shield he has and it will count.

You can also get the achievement by equipping a 2h weapon so your offhand will be empty.

Each of the three followers can equip a total of 6 items, which you can give to them by hitting and tabbing over to Follower (assuming you have a follower following you at that time). Each follower can equip a main and offhand, two rings, a necklace and a special item (Templar = Tome, Scoundrel = Token , Enchantress = Focus). These items will start dropping as early as level 21.

Just like yourself, your followers can have items equipped. The only difference here is that they have one slot that we don’t have. Enchantress Herbs, Scoundrel Tokens and Templar Relics are all items, that only they can use.

  • The Scoundrel can use: Bows, Crossbows, Scoundrel Tokens, Amulets and Rings.
  • The Enchantress can use: One and Two-Handed melee weapons, Enchantress Herbs, Amulets and Rings.
  • The Templar can use: All one handed Melee Weapons, Templar Relics, Amulets and Rings.


Once you have fully equipped one of your followers, the trophy will be yours.

In order to get the achievement, you just need to equip your brother in arms (or sister, if it is a Sorcerer). Here are the items you need to put on your companion:

  • Amulet
  • Rings (2pcs)
  • Weapon (two-handed, or one-handed + left-handed item)
  • Relic
