Unleash the Power of Diablo 4: Mastering Legendary Aspects

In Diablo 4, the significance of Legendary Aspects cannot be overstated, as they allow players to imbue their gear with powerful effects. While some can be unlocked permanently by completing dungeons, others can only be obtained by extracting them from a Legendary item at an Occultist. This guide aims to provide players with a deeper understanding of this system, helping them to acquire the Legendary Aspects they desire.

It is important to note that there are five distinct types of Legendary Aspects in Diablo 4 - Defensive, Offensive, Resource, Utility, and Mobility. Each type can only be found on specific item types, which is a crucial factor to consider when farming for particular Aspects. The following breakdown outlines the relationship between Aspects and items, providing essential information for players seeking to obtain their desired Aspects.

Players can now gain a better understanding that Legendary items in Diablo 4 have specific Aspects that can only be found on certain items. For instance, Resource Aspects are exclusive to Rings, which means that players who want to acquire a specific Resource Aspect should focus on farming Legendary Rings. This guide will provide detailed information on how to farm for specific types of Legendaries in Diablo 4.

Identifying the best Legendaries to farm for each Aspect can become slightly complicated when considering Aspects that are found on multiple item types. However, players can still determine which item type to target by selecting the one with the fewest associated Aspects. For instance, if players aim to obtain a Defensive Aspect, Legendary Pants are the optimal choice since they are the only items that always possess a Defensive Aspect. To further simplify this concept, players can refer to the chart below to determine the specific item types they should farm for specific Aspects.

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:

Purveyor of Curiosities: In Diablo 4, players can visit the Purveyor of Curiosities, an NPC located in Kyovashad and other cities, to exchange their Obols for a chance at obtaining random items of a selected type. Opting for the cheapest option that can yield the desired Aspect is the way to go, as these items have a chance to be Legendary. This is a great way to stretch your Obols as far as possible and get the most out of them.

Tree of Whispers: After completing the campaign in Diablo 4, players can access the Tree of Whispers activity. This activity involves completing various tasks to earn Grim Favors, which can then be redeemed for a reward once 10 of them have been obtained. The best part? Fans can choose the type of reward they want, allowing them to focus on specific item types and increase their chances of getting what they need.

Helltides: For another end-game activity that targets specific item types, Diablo 4 introduces Helltides. In this activity, players use Cinders to open chests, with the names of the containers indicating the item type they will award. This is a great opportunity to focus on the items you need and increase your chances of getting them.

To pursue the Legendary Aspects, players are provided with ample information, but it can be daunting to comprehend. To simplify this process, fans can follow a specific strategy that includes identifying the desired Legendary Aspect, determining its type, referring to the second chart in this guide to find the best items to target, farming for those items through the Purveyor of Curiosities, Tree of Whispers, and Helltides, and ultimately extracting the Aspect using the Occultist.

It should be noted that the strength of Legendary Aspects can vary due to the range of values they can roll. For example, the Bladedancer's Aspect has a range of 10 to 15% for its effects. This implies that players who want to optimize their characters' power will need to farm for specific Aspects and continue doing so until they acquire a Legendary with a perfect roll of that Aspect. Additionally, it is worth noting that once Aspects have been imprinted, they cannot be extracted, meaning that fans will need to repeat the process if they want to swap out an imprinted piece.

While the Aspects that are entered into Diablo 4's Codex of Power upon completing dungeons are a valuable infinite source for certain Aspects, it is true that better versions of Aspects can be found in the wild. Therefore, players should not be discouraged from completing dungeons.

Diablo 4 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
