What are Legendary Aspects?

Diablo IV Legendary Aspects are powerful modifiers found on Legendary equipment or as a reward for completing dungeons for the first time. These modifiers can be categorized by numerous factors and only be imprinted on Rare and Legendary gear.

In addition, the Legendary gear found in the game comes with random Legendary aspects and a range of values, making them hard to obtain at full power. Compared to the dropped and extracted Legendary aspects, the ones found in the Codex of Power will always provide the lowest possible value from the roll range, making the latter Legendary aspects less powerful.

Where can you use the Legendary Aspects?

Both the Legendary aspects from Codex of Power and Legendary gear can be used at the Occultist, which can be found in any major city.

The Codex of Power Aspects can be imprinted to rare and legendary items in the "Imprint Aspect" tab in exchange for a certain amount of:

• Veiled Crystals
• Baleful Fragment - if the item is a weapon
• Coiling Wards - if the item is an armor
• Abstruse Sigils - if the item is jewelry
• Gold

Imprinting a Legendary aspect extracted from a Legendary item will cost less gold compared to the Codex of Power and might not cost Veiled Crystals.

How many Aspects can you get in Diablo IV?

In the current season, Diablo 4's Codex of Power includes 137 Legendary aspects, divided into six categories: all classes and one for each class, and are shared account-wide with particular rules:

• Softcore characters will only share the Codex of Power with other softcore characters.
• Hardcore characters will only share the Codex of Power with other hardcore characters.
• Eternal characters will only share the Codex of Power with other Eternal characters, and the softcore/hardcore rule will also apply.
• Seasonal characters will only share the Codex of Power with other Seasonal characters, and the softcore/hardcore rule also applies. At the end of the season, the character will be moved into the eternal realm, sharing the progress with either the softcore or hardcore characters, depending on the mode you have played.

How to Get Legendary Aspects in Diablo 4

In Diablo 4, the Legendary aspects can be obtained in two ways:

• The Codex of Power Aspects - These can be acquired by completing dungeons for the first time, rewarding the player with a legendary aspect that can be used indefinitely, as long as you have the materials and gold necessary to imprint.
• The Non-Codex Aspects - These aspects can be obtained by extracting the Legendary aspect from dropped items, destroying them in the process. They can only be used once, as they can't be extracted after imprinting. These aspects have the same rarity as the items: normal, sacred, and ancestral, each boosting the value and the range of the Legendary aspect's power.

For the Non-Codex Aspects, we'll present many ways of farming a little later in the guide.

Types of Legendary Aspects in D4

As we have mentioned before, the Legendary aspects can be divided into different categories, making it easier to be sorted. We will go through each different type of Aspect and teach you everything you need to know about them.

Codex of Power Aspects

The most common type of Aspect, the Codex of Power Aspect, can be easily obtained by clearing dungeons for the first time and used as many times as you want, the only impediment being the cost of imprinting the desired Aspect to the desired item.

When imprinting Aspects from the Codex of Power, the value of the roll will always be the lowest possible, making the power of the Aspect lower than the Non-codex variant. The Aspects found in the Codex of Power can also be farmed like the Non-Codex Aspects.

Non-Codex Aspects - Random Drops

The Non-Codex Aspects are found in the world of Sanctuary at random, on legendary gear. These come with a random roll of value, so getting the desired specific legendary aspect will take longer than using a Codex of Power Aspect but may provide more power.

Also, there are methods to target farm specific legendary aspects, but we will cover this topic later in the guide.

Seasonal Aspects in Diablo 4

Seasonal Aspects can be obtained by completing chapters of the Season Journey on any world tier. Once obtained, the Seasonal Aspects will be added to the Codex of Power, so you can use them as many times as you want.

The freshly added Seasonal Aspects will affect the meta and current builds, so obtaining them as fast as possible will be very important, as they will bring new capabilities to your character.

General Aspects

The General Aspects can be found in the Codex of Power and throughout the random legendary gear drops and can be equipped by any class in the game. These Aspects offer a general range of affixes that will be useful for more than one class.

Class Specific Aspects

Any class can unlock these types of Aspects, but the specific legendary aspects can only be used by the particular class. These Aspects will include affixes that empower the skills of the class, giving you the extra power needed to push your character even further.

The Fastest Way to Get the Desired Aspect

There are multiple ways to get the desired specific legendary aspect faster than normal farming, and we will go through each of them and give you our recommendation, so you will get everything needed for your build fast and efficiently.

Method #1 - Nightmare Dungeons

The first method requires you to speed-farm nightmare dungeons. Elite enemies have a higher chance of dropping Legendary items than normal enemies, and they are plenty. In addition, you have a guaranteed Legendary item drop when completing the nightmare dungeon, with a second Legendary item having a 50% chance of dropping.

Method #2 - Target farming

The second method is the gear target farm method, as specific monster families will have a 5x higher chance of dropping specific gear pieces. For every aspect in Diablo 4, there is a specific gear piece (item slot) you can target farm for the highest chance of obtaining that desired aspect.

This method can be combined with the first one by constantly resetting the same dungeon using the button found in Journal.

Note: Please keep in mind that you can only reset normal dungeons, you can not use the reset button for Nightmare Dungeons, as you will lose the Nightmare Sigil.

Method #3 - Helltides

The third method is opening Helltide chests. While this method is a bit harder than the others, you can target-farm specific gear pieces through the chests, and the chance of obtaining Legendary loot from them is way better as you will also slay lots of monsters that can drop Legendary items while farming Cinders.

Method #4 - Gambling with Obols

The fourth method is by spending Murmuring Obols at the Purveyor of Curiosities and waiting for the legendary to drop. This method is decent for farming aspects because you can target-farm specific gear pieces that have a higher chance of dropping the legendary aspects you want.

Method #5 - The Tree of Whispers

The fifth method is opening Silent Offerings by completing Whispers and obtaining the rewards at the Tree of Whispers. This is the slowest method, but it still has better chances than random farming.

Note: You can find tools that will tell you which monster family and which piece of gear (item lot) you should farm for the best and fastest results when grinding for any specific Legendary aspect.

Next, we will look into God Rolled Legendary Aspects, what they are, why you should farm them, and the fastest way to obtain them.

God Rolled Legendary Aspects

In this section of our guide, we will talk about the God Roll Aspects and their importance when it comes to perfecting your build and min-maxing every stat to get the most power out of every piece of gear you can use.

What are God Roll Aspects

When we talk about God Roll Aspects, we refer to a Legendary aspect that rolls with max value. These God Roll Aspects are hard to get, and they will boost your character's power to the max, letting you slay any enemy with ease.

Fastest way to get God Roll Aspects

What is the Fastest Way to Get God Roll Aspects in Diablo 4? The Fastest way to obtain God Roll Aspects is to farm a specific Nightmare dungeon with the majority of enemies being in the target farming monster family while also completing the events within.

Another question we often see asked is: Can you reuse a Legendary Aspect that you spent so much time farming for? The answer is No, you cannot reuse Legendary Aspects, except for the ones found in the Codex of Power. In conclusion, you need to be extremely cautious when using God Roll Aspects, imprinting them only when you are sure the item is also God Rolled and max or close to max level.

Next up, we will look at the best Legendary aspects from a usefulness points of view.

Best Legendary Aspects in Diablo 4

As we all know, nobody can point to a Legendary Aspect and say that one is the best out of the vast number of Aspects. Still, when it comes to the usefulness of the Legendary Aspects, most of them will fit in one build or another, but we will list the most popular ones used in the meta builds in Diablo 4.

• For the General Aspects, we have Edgemaster's Aspect, Conceited Aspect, Aspect of Might, and Disobedience Aspect - These aspects can be found in most of the builds.
• Barbarian Aspects - Bold Chieftain's Aspect, Aspect of Retribution, Aspect of Limitless Rage - These are just a few of the Aspects used in most of the builds for Barbarians.
• Druid Aspects - Aspect of Ursine Horror, Aspect of Rampaging Werebeast, Aspect of Mending Stone - The most popular Druid Aspects used for meta builds.
• Necromancer Aspects - Blood-Bathed Aspect, Blighted Aspect, Aspect of Grasping Veins - It's hard to choose, as a necromancer has many valuable aspects, but these aspects are found in most end-game builds.
• Rogue Aspects - Cheat's Aspect, Mangler's Aspect, Bladedancer's Aspect - The versatility of the Rogue's builds makes it hard to choose the most useful Aspects, but the most common in all builds are these.
• Sorcerer Aspects - Aspect of Binding Embers, Storm Swell Aspect, Aspect of Control - As the Sorcerer has three different types of elements to choose from, aspects common in all builds are few, but they are used in most of them.

How to use Legendary Aspects in Diablo 4

The Legendary Aspects in D4 can only be used at the Occultist NPC. Here, you can extract Aspects from your unwanted gear or imprint Aspects from your inventory/Codex of Power to the desired item.

Imprinting Aspects on Legendary items will only change the Legendary aspect of the item, leaving the rest of the affixes untouched.

Next up, let's take a more in-depth look into extracting aspects.

Extracting Aspects. How to Extract Legendary Aspects

To extract an Aspect in Diablo 4, drag and drop the equipment from your inventory at the Occultist NPC. The Occultist will extract the Aspect, allowing you to store it either in your inventory or your stash, but it will cost you gold.

This is especially important because if you find a piece of gear with a good aspect roll, you can extract and use it later when you find a better piece of gear with better stats.

Imprinting Aspects. How to Imprint a Legendary Aspect

To imprint an Aspect in Diablo IV, the procedure is very similar to the extraction. The Occultist lets you select the item you want to imprint the aspect on, choose the aspect you want to use (either from the Codex of Power or your inventory), and also show you the costs:

• Gold
• Veiled Crystals
• Baleful Fragment, Coiling Wards, or Abstruse Sigil for Weapons, Armor, or Jewelry

Note: When imprinting, compared to the normal Aspects, the Sacred and Ancestral Aspects will require less gold and no veiled crystal.

Upgrading Aspects

The best tip we can give you regarding Aspects is: Upgrade the item before fully extracting the Aspect! Doing this will increase the range and value of your aspect's roll. However, this will not grant you a better roll of the Aspect. For example, if you have an item with a chance of dealing 100-200 damage, and the roll is 120, after upgrading, the range may be 200-400, but the roll will be 240.

This method only works on Aspects with flat number values, like Blood-soaked Aspect or Aspect of the Protector. This won't work on Aspects that include x amount of seconds or percentages.
