DIABLO IV / GUIDE 06
Before crafting, confirm the item has a place in your target build. Expensive work on a temporary piece can delay a more meaningful upgrade.
01. Choose the Right BaseIdentify the useful starting properties and powers. Compare alternatives before trying to rescue an unsuitable piece through costly modifications. |
02. Read What Each Operation ChangesEnchanting, Tempering and Cube recipes serve different purposes. Check affected properties, preserved values and required materials in the preview. |
03. Set Your Tempering GoalChoose an outcome that supports your skills. Confirm that the item enables the intended interaction before moving on to further investment. |
04. Budget for MasterworkingPrioritise pieces you expect to keep. Set an attempt budget so chasing one result does not consume your entire stock. |
05. Match Cube Recipes to the Final GoalA powerful recipe is not appropriate for every item. Read any resulting modification or equipment restrictions before confirming. |
Practical TipTake an item screenshot and set a spending limit before starting. Compare the final result through more than rarity. |
Season and Expansion Note(Horadric Cube requires Lord of Hatred. In Season 15, direct Mythic upgrading adds the Crafted tag; only one item with this tag can be equipped at a time.) |
