DIABLO 4 CRAFTING MATERIALS

In Diablo 4 materials are often used for crafting and upgrading weapons, armor, and other items. They can be obtained through various means, such as looting from enemies, salvaging existing items, or completing quests. While you can't trade most of them directly, you can trade bulks of Rare Items with other players on marketplaces such as Odealo for real money to salvage them and obtain valuable resources. 

Thankfully, most materials are conveniently auto-picked up so the players don't need repeatedly click to collect them. While certain items like Equipment and Gems still require manual pickup, crafting Materials such as Gold, Herbs, and Ores are gathered effortlessly by simply walking over them. This streamlines the gameplay experience and allows players to focus more on their adventure without the hassle of manual collection.

Materials in Diablo games are typically divided into different tiers or rarities, each with its own properties and usefulness. Higher-tier materials are generally more valuable and can be used to create more powerful and specialized items.

The Crafting system allows players to choose specific properties or attributes they want to imbue on their items, giving them more control over their equipment customization. It is an essential step to power up every character in the game, so you should always be sure to have enough resources to accomplish that. 

There are main categories of Material types, and obviously, some of them are much more valuable than others. It is especially true in the early game when you will constantly run out of materials to upgrade your Gear. Using subpar Equipment will significantly slow down your progression, so it is a smart move to buy them from other players. 

1. Salvaged Materials: the vast majority of your materials come from salvaging equipment pieces at the Blacksmith. It directly competes with your Gold income, as most of it comes from selling said gear to vendors. Other players can trade you their Rare Equipment, but they can't trade already prepared Salvaged Materials. 

2. Herbs: Herbs are botanical components used in crafting recipes for brewing potions and elixirs. They possess magical properties and can provide various effects when used correctly, such as healing or enhancing attributes.

3. Monster Parts: Monster parts refer to various body parts, organs, or essences obtained from defeated creatures. They are also used in elixir recipes but on a much fewer scale. They are also necessary to upgrade your main Healing Potion.  

4. Ores: Ores are raw minerals extracted from the earth, typically found in mining locations, obtained from defeated enemies, or gained through salvaging your old equipment. They serve as the primary source for upgrading your Weapons. 

5. Skins: Skins are the hides or pelts of slain animals or creatures. They are valuable materials used for upgrading your armor pieces such as boots, gloves, or helmets. You shouldn't neglect to upgrade those, as it's an important source of power for your character. 

Adding a Socket to your Items is also an important part of upgrading your Gear. To do so, you will need to bring just 1 Scattered Prism to the Jeweller NPC in any of the major cities. You can insert a Socket into a Helmet, Chest, Pants, Weapon, Amulet, and Ring.

Here we compiled a list of materials needed for every step when upgrading Gear. Please note that a 2-Handed Weapon consumes twice as much as a 1-Handed Weapon. The Gold cost scales with the Item Power, although generally, it is pretty marginal. 

Here you can find a full list of all available Materials and where to find them.
