Legendary Aspects play a very important role inDiablo 4, as they can be used to inscribe powerful effects onto gear pieces. While many Legendary Aspects can be permanently unlocked bycompleting dungeons, some can only be obtained by finding a Legendary item with the Aspect and then extracting it at an Occultist. This guide is here provide more details on this system, and it will help players earn the Legendary Aspects that they want inDiablo 4.
To begin, it is very important to establish that there arefive typesofLegendary Aspects inDiablo 4. Those types are Defensive, Offensive, Resource, Utility, and Mobility, and each one canonly appearon items of certain types. Here is a full breakdown of this relationship between Aspects and items, and it is a critical element in farming for specific Aspects:
Mobility
Boots, Amulet
With this foundation, players will now understand that certain Aspects can only be found on certain Legendary items. As an example, Resource Aspects can only appear on Rings, and fans that are attempting to obtain a specific Resource Aspect should thus be farming specifically for Legendary Rings. Notably, ways to farm for specific types ofLegendaries inDiablo 4will be detailed later in this guide.
Things get slightly more complicated when looking at Aspects that can be found on more than one item type, though it is still possible to identify the best Legendaries to farm for each Aspect. Specifically,Diablo 4playersshould be targeting the item type that has thefewestpossible associated Aspects. For example, if a fan wanted to obtain a Defensive Aspect, they should farm for Legendary Pants, as those are the only items that will always have a Defensive Aspect.
To simplify this idea, here is a chart that players can use to determine which item types they should be farming when looking for specific Aspects:
Boots
With all of this said, players may now wonder how they can go about obtaining specific types of Legendaires, and here are the options that are available to them:
While players now have all the information that they need to go after the Legendary Aspects that they want, they may feel slightly overwhelmed by all this information. In an attempt to alleviate that feeling, here is thespecific strategythat fans should use:
One final thing to mention is that there is some randomness to the strength of Legendary Aspects, as there is arange of valueswith which they can roll. As an example, theBladedancer’s Aspecthas a range of 10 to 15% for its effects. This means that players that want to maximize the power of their characters will not only need to farm for specific Aspects, they will need to continue to do so until they find a Legendary with a perfect roll of that Aspect. Furthermore, Aspects cannot be extracted after they have been imprinted, and fans will thus need to repeat this process if they want to swap out an imprinted piece.
With respect to the Aspects that are entered intoDiablo 4’s Codex of Powerupon completing dungeons, those always have thelowest valuefrom the range. While this fact should not dissuade players from completing dungeons, as having an infinite source for certain Aspects is valuable, it is true that better versions of Aspects can be found in the wild.
Diablo 4is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
