How to craft legendary gear in Diablo 4.

If you hope to survive in the world of Sanctuary, Diablo 4 legendary crafting can mean the difference between life and death—or maybe death and death if you've chosen to D4 items  level as a necromancer. Either way, the Aspects that are associated with legendary gear pieces are invaluable and can make a good build great when it comes to speed and efficiency.

Legendary gear drops have an RNG element to them, meaning you can't count on getting the exact piece of gear you need, or with the right stats. Item enchantment can help a little with this, but if you want to take it one step further, you can craft your own legendary gear with any Aspect that you choose. With that in mind, here's how to get started with Diablo 4 legendary crafting, and how to figure out whether crafted gear is more powerful than an equivalent drop.

Diablo 4 legendary crafting: How to imprint an Aspect

You can start imprinting Aspects onto gear once you reach level 25—or acquire your first Aspect from a dungeon—and unlock the Occultist, an NPC that is found at many hubs. You'll need a Legendary Aspect to imprint, and a rare quality or better item to add it to. Add the item you want to use to the top slot of the Imprint Aspect screen, then select an Aspect source.

· Codex of Power: Legendary Aspects can be learned from the various dungeons found around Sanctuary and once collected, these are added to your Codex of Power, which you can access by pressing Y, or via the Imprint tab of the Occultist's UI. Selecting this option gives you access to Diablo IV items  the Aspects you've collected so far.
