Diablo 4: Aspects Guide | All Aspects & How To Use Them

In Diablo 4, each time you acquire Legendary or Unique items, they come with an exclusive affix known as an Aspect. The beauty of it is that you have the option to extract these Aspects and apply them to different non-legendary equipment. This guide will walk you through the process of doing so and provide a comprehensive list of all the Aspects available in the game.

In Diablo 4, there's a new type of item called Aspects that you can find and collect. These items are used to make your gear better by adding special bonuses to it. In this article, we'll explain how Aspects work, so you can start enhancing your favorite gear with them.

We'll also show you all Aspects in the game, divided by class.

Aspects in Diablo 4 Explained

Aspects are a special type of reward in Diablo 4, which can be used to upgrade your gear. You need to go to a special vendor called an “Occultist” to apply your Aspects to your gear, in a process called “imprinting”. But more on that later.

Aspects make gear better by giving them a unique affix, but they don't affect any of the other stats when imprinted onto gear. The unique trait is usually something quite powerful, but not absolutely game-breaking. For instance, the Aspect of Conflagration gives you 20% increased burning damage when you cast Incinerate.

Because Aspects alter skills, they are almost all class-specific. When you see the Aspect in the menus, you can see in the bottom right what class the Aspect is for:

All legendary pieces of gear come with Aspects imprinted on them already, that's what separates legendary gear from rare gear.

  • If you haven't chosen your class yet, may we recommend the Sorcerer?

How To Get Aspects In Diablo 4

There are two ways to get Aspects in Diablo 4:

  • You will get an Aspect as a reward for each Dungeon you clear. Aspects earned from Dungeons will appear in your Codex of Power (which can be found in the main menu), not your inventory.
  • You can extract Aspects from legendary gear. Doing so will destroy the piece of gear and leave you with the Aspect in your inventory (in the fourth tab, named “Aspects”).

If you want your buds to play Diablo 4 with you, show them this video:

How To Imprint Aspects Onto Your Gear

Once you have an Aspect you can imprint it onto your gear, all you need is gold and a quick trip to the local Occultist (who will be unlocked when you reach level 15 or acquire your first aspect). Here is where you will find the first Occultist in the game, Demyan, in Kyovashad:

Here is where you can find the Kyovashad Occultist to begin imprinting your gear with Aspects. | © Activision Blizzard

Note: You can find Occultists in every capital of each region, so don't worry about returning to Kyovashad every time.

Okay, now you're talking to the Occultist, here is what you need to do:

  1. From the Occultist's menu, go to the first tab "Imprint"
  2. Put the gear you want to imprint into the empty slot at the top of the menu you can see. The gear will need to be rare (yellow) or legendary (orange). But, if the gear is legendary, and you imprint a new Aspect onto it, the old Aspect that was attached to the legendary item will simply be destroyed. Yep, sadly gear can only slot one Aspect at a time.
  3. Now you will need to choose the Aspect you want to Imprint from one of the middle two boxes, either an "Aspect from The Codex of Power" or an "Aspect from Inventory"
  4. Once you've chosen your Aspect, select "Imprint Aspect" and your gear (which will be transformed into legendary status if it was previously only rare) will appear in the fourth box at the bottom

Imprinting costs at least 20,000 Gold. So think wisely about whether you even want to, and please be aware: Imprinting Aspects will only add a new unique effect to the item, it won't change the other stats like damage. You can see how the stats don't change in this image comparing a pre and post Imprinted item:

When an item becomes legendary by way of imprinting, none of the base stats are affected.

How To Extract Aspects From Your Gear

To extract Aspects you need legendary gear and gold, once you've got that, head to the same Occultist you visited when imprinting. Now go to the second tab in the Occultist's menu called "Extract", and follow these steps:

  1. In the top box put the legendary gear you want to extract the Aspect from (it needs to be a found legendary, previously imprinted Aspects can't be extracted again)
  2. Now select "Extract Abstract", and the Abstract will appear in your inventory

Extracting Aspects from gear will destroy the actual piece of gear, leaving you only with the Aspect. Also, it costs about 5,000 Gold, so be certain about the Aspect before extracting.

So now that you know how everything concerning Aspects in Diablo 4 works, we have a list with all Aspects for you here.
