Diablo 4 Patch Significantly Reduces Cost Of Transmuting Masterwork Materials
Blizzard is continuing to refine elements of its massive Loot Reborn patch for Diablo 4, which dropped last week and fundamentally overhauled some of the game’s core systems. The latest hotfix for the game only introduces one major change, but it will be a welcome one for anyone working on Masterworking their items, with the gold cost of transmutation dramatically reduced.
Masterworking is a new system added in the Loot Reborn patch which gives players a new way to upgrade their most powerful items, as well as introducing a new endgame dungeon to farm for materials. Players can take on the Pit to earn crafting materials Obducite, Ingolith, and Neathiron, which are used to unlock successively higher ranks of masterwork.
While you have to progress through the Pit to unlock the rarer materials–with Ingolith only dropping between Tier 31 and Tier 60 of the dungeon, and Neathiron from Tier 61 up–players can transmute extra high-level materials to one of lower rarity at the Alchemist.
