Diablo 4 Enchantment Slots: Quest, Effects & Unlock

The Enchantment Slots are a unique system only the Sorcerer/Sorceress class has in Diablo 4. This unique trait allows you to activate passive buffs of your existing skills, meaning that with this system, you can now revel in the benefits of the skills that weren’t to your liking previously.

What Are Enchantment Slots In Diablo 4

This system gives the Sorcerer class an added advantage: putting the skills you don’t usually use a lot to good use, something that is impossible for other classes.

However, this system itself also comes with its fair share of rules, which I will list below:

• A skill enlisted as active can also be used as a passive simultaneously.
• The upgrades made to a skill carry over to the Enchantment Slot.
• At least one skill point must be spent on a skill to allocate them to the Enchantment Slot.
• Ultimate Skills don’t have any passives, which means they cannot be enchanted,
• Once you reach level 15, you can pursue the quest to unlock the first Enchantment Slot.
• The second Enchantment Slot is unlocked once you are past level 30.

How To Unlock Enchantment Slot

1. Once you reach level 15, initiate The Legacy of Magi quest.
2. Meet with Sorcerer Mordarin in the Southwest of Nevesak to start this quest.

   

3. Sorcerer Mordarin asks you to retrieve a forgotten Index from the Lost Archives.
4. The Lost Archives is located to the east of your current location.

   

5. Los Archive has a randomized layout for everyone, so I can’t pinpoint the exact location of the Forgotten Index.
6. That said, I found it within the Halls of Knowledge.

   

7. After recovering the Forgotten Index, return it to Mordarin.
8. Follow Mordarin to his shack and light the four braziers when he asks you to.
9. Fight off the hoards of demons until Mordarin completes his ritual.

   

10. Interact with him again after the ritual to unlock the Enchantment Slot.

Similarly, every class in Diablo 4 boasts a unique trait with huge combat benefits. At the same time, unique traits and skills aren’t the only way to survive the overwhelming encounters of Diablo 4. That is why I recommend going through the guides on the Best Solo Class, Best Barbarian Build, Best PvP class, Best Necromancer Build, and Best Druid Build.

This concludes my guide on Diablo 4 Enchantment Slots for the Sorcerer class, in which I discussed both its usage and the quest to unlock it.
