How To Craft In Diablo 4

The game introduces a brand new system for crafting. Instead of being able to visit just one specific location and having the ability to craft every type of material, that ability has been divided between 4 different vendors/artisans.

• The Blacksmith
• The Alchemist
• The Occultist
• The Jeweler

As the name suggests, each of these vendors specializes in their own field, and players will be able to craft their required items/materials after visiting the appropriate artisan. Each of these artisans is available in every Capital City in Diablo 4.

The Blacksmith

• The Blacksmith can aid the player in crafting their weapons and armor or even upgrade them.
• In terms of upgrades, to what extent a weapon can be upgraded is dependent on its rarity.
• If players have some old armor lying around, then they can take it to the Blacksmith to dismantle/ salvage them and obtain some crafting materials in the process.
• In case you had any jewels attached to the weapon that you have dismantled, then those jewels will be automatically returned to your inventory.
• The Blacksmith can be unlocked fairly early in the game.

The Alchemist

• Players can visit the Alchemist to upgrade their potions, such as the health potion.
• These potions can grant the players will various buffs or advantages in the game and can get them out of a tough spot when used correctly.

While we are on the topic of potions, it is interesting to note how in Diablo 4, health potions are no longer dropped randomly or sold by vendors like in the previous titles. Players will have a health potion available on their action bar.

The Occultist

• The Occultist provides the service to enhance your armor, which basically means that it gives you the option to modify the stats of your armor and excel in a specific category.
• The Occultist also has the ability to craft Sigils occasionally, which are required if you wish to imprint Legendary Aspects on your gear.
• Sigils are also required if you wish to access the Nightmare Dungeons and customize your character’s powers.

The Occultist is the one vendor that you should pay a visit to whenever you get the time. Speaking of dungeons, you may want to read the All Dungeons Location guide as well while you are at it.

The Jeweler

• The Jeweler can upgrade your jewels by increasing the amount of resistance or buffs that the specific jewel offers.
• Players can also visit this vendor to craft items such as Rings and Amulets.
• In case you wish to socket or remove your gems from your armor, then that can also be done by visiting the Jeweler.

Crafting Materials

There are currently 17 different crafting materials in the game. These crafting materials are further divided into four categories.

• Ores
• Monster Parts
• Herbs
• Skins

One interesting thing to note is that these crafting materials do not consume any inventory storage so you can pick these materials up to your heart’s content while not worrying about running out of inventory storage. These crafting materials are also picked up automatically. Only equipment and gems need to be picked up manually.

Ores

Ores are mostly used by blacksmiths in order to craft or upgrade weapons and armor. They are mostly obtained after dismantling/salvaging materials at the blacksmith. Or players can also obtain ores from veins that can be found in basically every region of Sanctuary. Some ores, however, are not so easy to obtain.

Iron Chunk

The Iron Chunk is a common ore in Diablo 4 and is mostly used for upgrading weapons and jewelry. They are most commonly found on veins nearly everywhere and by dismantling items at the blacksmith.

Silver Ore

Silver Ore is a magic tier ore in the game and is also used for upgrading weapons and jewelry to a higher level. It is also used for crafting certain equipment and can be obtained from certain veins or dismantling specific armor or weapons at the blacksmith.

Scattered Prism

Unlike every other ore we have listed above, the Scattered Prism is the most unique one. It is a rare tier ore and is not used for crafting/ upgrading. Instead, it is used for adding sockets to gear, thus allowing you to equip more gems.

It is not found in veins; instead is found on very large bodies. Players will need to obtain some world bosses if they want the Scattered Prism. In case these world bosses are not spawning in your game, then consider reading our World Bosses Not Spawning guide.

It can only be found during Helltides, so do not waste the opportunity when it presents itself. It is currently only used for high-tier potions such as the Major Healing Potion and the Superior Healing Potion.
