Diablo 4 Aspects have a Dirty Little Secret you need to know!

[@josegalarza1427]

¡Gracias! Help me one day

[@P4wnyhof]

Ok sir! This is beyond amazing - Thank you so much!

[@josegalarza1427]

I’m traying to farm to get good armor but is not dropping nothing good 😂😂😂

[@ericvautherot1285]

You CAN re-boost it, but requires the next item to break the next value threshold. Like a Sacred ilvl 720. Leave the item un-upgraded. Do not imprint it yet, put 1 upgrade in. to make it 725 ilvl. Apply the boosted aspect. The item becomes Ancestral. The rolls on the item can also re-roll within their ranges in this upgrade step (This can make +1 skill rolls goto +2-3 50% chance to max them without having to roll a stat yet. Now the item can be upgraded and this includes a second time upgrading the aspect regardless of the top end. This is advanced crafting. Which can turn an item believed to be trash into God tier. +1 bone spear +1 sever - crit / crit dmg with bone. with the proper item upgrading you can manage +3 / +3 / crit / crit dmg before you attempt to choose a stat to re-roll. Hope this helps crafters. (Note this method requires 'Threshold - rares / uniques' Or items near Stat Tier increase values. 625 sacred 725 ancestral. ect.)

[@timstram]

If you put a sacred aspect on a 720 item and upgrade it to 725 the aspect doesn't actually reroll the true values. The range changes to LOOK like it upgraded the aspect, but the actual values are locked in at the lower tier.

[@krokenlochen]

So you can rip an ancestral aspect off and use it to turn a sacred item ancestral right?

[@timstram]

@@krokenlochen .........no

[@kiryukaimemorial]

You don't need a break point to reroll. I've rerolled multiple sacred legendary / ancestral items to full 5/5 to get a reroll to change a +1/+2 rank of skill to +3 or get the next level of stat. This isn't a secret though, been known since beta.

[@WitchZer0]

The Eluding Shield with the 20 second value was already maxed out. the range was 20-40 second cooldown. you want the lower cooldown. :) @4:14

[@nighttimerelaxation2657]

Was looking for this. 👍

[@mrmugen866]

bonus tip: if you are high level (90+) these numerical aspects can even roll higher, if you choose them from the kodex of power. they level with your characterlevel. everyone thinks they are only entry level, but in late game these aspects are even higher than everything you can find on items. but be aware, not all legendary aspects are in the kodex of power. example: aspect of the protector (barrier when damaging an eilte) gives me 7077 shield at level 94. which is higher than the highest roll that a legendary ancestrial item could give. also wear gear with +life while crafting, because the barrier maxes out at your max life number.

[@kylekilgore291]

So explain why my level 92 Barb codex aspects are shit? This is false and doesn’t actually work

[@ericbohn611]

When it procs, that particular aspect only gives you a barrier equivalent to your full base life. If you look at the text it says "up to X". So it doesn't really matter how high the number gets over your base health.

[@mrmugen866]

@@kylekilgore291 only numerical aspects will work, NOT something with +%. for barb there is for example: x thorns while berserking or kick does x damage when you kill an enemy with it. not impressive i know, but you can use the shield when hitting an enemy (aspect of protector).

[@mrmugen866]

@@ericbohn611 nice to know, my health pool is just higher than the shield could ever get. but i think it should matter if you use an health elixer that gives you 30% bonus hp, if you have lower hp. or you swap gear in the future with more hp.

[@kylekilgore291]

@@mrmugen866 I disagree, I already played around with these and saw no numerical diff on the aspect. Regardless it’s probably a bug and I don’t build or spec into glitches. No reward for exploiting your way to victory. GLHF

[@timstram]

Something people dont mention enough, the aspects cant be upgraded past their initial ranges. If you put a regular aspect on a sacred item, it will display the ranges for a sacred aspect, but the actual values are locked in at the lower level. Youll end up with an item that says "deals 200 damage (500-800)"

[@antionewilson5069]

I also recommend the last tip, my guy. It's MAJOR!..sometimesnits best to take the rare, make it what you want then imprint the ripped aspect and make it that way!

[@epramatarov]

This is very helpful, thank you. I’ve only been extracting aspects that have the max value - items with aspects close the max value I usually save for later use in case I don’t find anything higher. I can now go and max all of them before extracting.

[@Matt-tw3oz]

i did not know this. thank you! i just did this for "Aspect of the Frozen Tundra" and the damage level from what i had on my old gloves tripled.

[@waseemsabjee]

One of my favorite aspects is: Aspect of Stolen Vigor ( "HP Regen per stack of momentum") on rogue. I would love try to "max" it out a bit

[@Bhelios]

One quick note: maximum number of skeletons *can* be 3. Amulet gives 150% of aspect... put a +2 skeleton aspect on amulet and you'll get +3 skeletons. :D cheers, mate.

[@P4wnyhof]

Yes but you can't upgrade it with this method :D That was the point! Should have been more clear

[@ermagherd1204]

I fully upgraded my ancestral amulet today it gave a +2 to a couple of my skills. After fully upgraded they both went to a +3. Had no idea that would happen!

[@Bhelios]

It's great, right?! That's because amulet slot gives 150% of aspect. Happened with my skeletons lol... +2 mages became +3 mages.

[@asherrfacee]

You must’ve hit an item level break level at which point it re-rolled the affix with the higher level range and you got really lucky that it hit +3 instead of +1

[@bryophytamantodea7254]

Amulets always give +3 to summons when you imprint any +2 to skelly from, let's say, a ring.

[@SIR_REALIST_88]

I DIDNT KNOW HOW EXACTLY I WAS GETTING BOOST HOWEVER THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION.

[@darthwolvi7428]

I have left COD after all the Nick Mercs stuff. So happy to see you with D4. I loved your Warzone stuff sir! Miss the lab coat!

[@crysalin2133]

Dirty little secret was the perfect diskription for this 👌 Exactly that was in my mind as the first 50 h of playing d4 where played be me and then recognized how you do it the right way 😅 This game really let you experiment with everything on your own without giant tutorials. And that's great

Not even mad! Age and era of fuck around and find out 👍

Completely overlooked this... Thanks YT algo and P4wnyhof

[@Myndlss1]

Omg i feel so dumb for not thinking of this, ty, this will help me so much.

[@godofchaoskhorne5043]

Oh wow. I was removing aspects then leveling up a good rare to put the aspect on it. Didn't know you get better aspects for upgrading and so far the sacred aspects are the same as regular ones. But that's wildly expensive too.. the whole point of upgrading before putting an aspect on it was to save resources. I feel like this makes most sense on really high levels so you can actually keep using the gear for a while.

[@Coolcoolbear]

I always suspect it, thanks for confirming. Subscribed!

This works great for Ice Spikes on Blizzard for Sorc 👌🏻

This is a video I definitely needed to watch I was wondering why my aspects were so bad when o ripped them out thanks alot

[@johngohchuanheng3417]

Im so glad u post this out ... i wish i knew this trick earlier

[@palpaladin315]

I only keep mods (skill conversions), and percentile bonus, aspects. Flat bonuses I generally salvage if they are lower than the last one I saw. - See, the logic is this: You either waste resources on min / maxing a flat bonus; or just wait til you get a sufficiently high enough one to keep. Thats the one you min / max. - with the added bonus of generating crafting mats to do so, in the interim. Even as a D2 player, this games starting to drag, hard. In the last two patches they micro-nerfed horses; then stealthed in proceedurally generated spawns. So now, what happens is avoiding surface mobs, results in increasing mobs, surrounding your position, then spawned blockades, until finally you get corralled by a barrier ring and big mob. - Basically they zero-point, spawn lock you; for no other reason than to slow you down.

[@bobbybands6923]

Your the Goat this is great knowledge, if only I could actually log into the game I paid 100$ for.

[@dcuoffendinghabits7949]

This is good to know, I run a aspect that causes a pool to spawn of the imbument used(for me it's poison) and it's flat damage is around the 9700-9800 mark per second. Does decent damage in nightmare dungeons lvl 32-35

[@DavidHerscher]

Awesome, never even thought about doing this.

[@richardbond2793]

Ok I didn't really know this but thank you. This is going to save a bunch of my legendary aspects

[@MrIndirect1]

3:48 - You can change the maximum number of skeletons by placing the imprint on the piece of gear that boosts it effectiveness. For example, maximum number of skeletons can be boosted to 3, if placed on an amulet.

[@raidenpz]

You are now pronouncing barrier correctly, which makes me sad, because I love your accent, but you've earned this! Much love!

[@P4wnyhof]

Trying my best mate 👍 had to actually redo the barrier part 2 Times because I said it wrong again

[@kentheknight]

@P4wnyhof you sound great. I'm at awe with anyone who is bilingual. I've tried to become fluent in other languages, but I never follow through with it. Kudos to you.

[@slovaro7714]

If you put gives max minion on your amulet it's gives +1 so you have 3 skeletons instead of 2

[@willy_lime]

That's one thing about these level breakout points that's awesome. If you can get into the next tier it's just simply more power. Makes theorycrafting fun (which means you can math it BEFORE upgrading it btw!).

[@phishmastermike]

Yup break points which most people commenting don’t even understand

[@Fudge-_-]

I’ve only seen this work with like 2 aspects so far, the barrier one and the life when near enemies one, haven’t found any other aspects that upgrade yet but make sure you preview the results before spending too much upgrading ✌️💜

[@MysteryNotes]

Yeah it only works on aspects with flat numbers

[@Soundwave299]

Druid and rogue has quite a few but no one uses the rogue ones it seems

[@DaFishBoi]

@@Soundwave299which aspects for rogue does it work for?

[@LordDivine1]

@@DaFishBoi Flat numbers, so as an example... The one that barrages an area with arrows on lucky hit and can have 5 going at a time. Can't remember the name. But it's easy to figure out. If it has flat numbers and not percentages, it can be upgraded before taking the aspect out.

TY ..didnt know about the "flat value" 😀👍

Huge tip!!!! Thanks my guy

Now any legendary aspect from tier 1 can be imprinted to tier 3 and tier 4. So keep those max roll aspect for when you reach level 100.

[@moviechannelshorts2013]

OMG thank you so much for showing me this 😱

[@3milio0o95]

Oh, Idk P4wny made D4 videos as well. I decided to take a break from Cod and play Diablo instead so this was a fun surprise :)

[@lordme8417]

OMG I wish I knew this before , so many aspect I took without maxing it !!! Thank you so much !!

[@roshunepp]

Yeah I have some max rolls from before and didn't upgrade B4 ripping...

[@SimplisticMinimalist]

This shit is patched

[@DarthRane113]

Okay what am I missing here because you can upgrade it on a new item as well and if youre boosting it before putting it on the new item you're actually spending MORE because now youre essentially upgrading TWO separate pieces of equipment instead of just one

[@P4wnyhof]

Because you might have the perfect item already but not the perfect aspect :)

[@thomaslaughlin908]

If you rip item then imprint and upgrade the aspect will not Increase in value the moment it gets ripped/imprinted it can't upgrade aspect anymore. So upgrade aspect before you rip it.

[@6Monto]

@@P4wnyhof i mean if you just imprint the aspect without previously upgraded, it will get improved on the new item when u upgrade it.

[@marijnvdkant2]

To be fair who cares as of now money is not hard thing to come by as soon you hit torment and even before that its not that hard if you target far it. Had friend of mine boost me 2 days ago through torment had full back of acentral items 2.2 mil richer

NIce, you've explained it really well. I was wondering why I couldn't change my gear stats after doing it two times. everything greys out for me

[@MaxGoddur]

While playing with Aspects I was a bit disappointed when I tried to modify or work with the affix in my Sacred Unique Items they can not be modified? I noticed in your video you were not modifying any SU items but rather Ancestrial Legendary items which took me a moment to recognize because I have not run into any of those type items. All of my drops have been of the SU variant. Have to ask if the SU items can have their affixs modified at the higher levels I am at 69 just a hair from jumping into 70. Great video thank you for helping in the understanding of D4.

Another great video, really like the info and the breakdown is awesome for dummies like me ;)

[@Christopher-tz3mr]

The Legendary effect +2 skeletal mages/warriors CAN be increased by 1 IF u place aspect on your necklace.

[@P4wnyhof]

Yes we all know... but not the upgrade method

[@seikojin]

The aspects have item power. looks like it has thresholds like general items. So it stands to reason if you are close to a threshold, it can reroll and boost.

[@MonibTraboulsi]

How about this ... upgrade the same item (Amulet) get the stats to max, extract the Aspect from it and then imprint back on another Amulet for +50% or Staff for +100% extra value! Would it work? I'm definitely giving it a try as soon as i get home after work

[@andrecinelli]

Very nice tip

[@topherclay6131]

Just when I started getting bored with the game, you have given me a challenge lol. Take my sub lol.

[@kennyli3602]

you can incease skeley number as well i had low lvl boot get 3

[@PNW_MX222]

What does it matter which item you upgrade the aspect on? Except for threshold breaks, but even then, your base item has a chance to lower in stats in the process.

[@profundisconfutatis8093]

I would imagine this value is anything that scales with level. Things like barrier scale with the item level that it drops on, or the item level you imprinted on out of your codex. So for barbarians this would be most useful for aspects that give fortify, or thorns during berserking etc.

[@spekenbonen72]

-dumb stuff removed by poster- Anywho, good tips!!!

[@dezath]

Also, it seems that the "fixed values" (or certain values) from the codex level up with you, meaning that some of them will be much better than the ones you have potentially stored in your stash like me, 10 levels ago.

@@Soundwave299 Good to know, thx!

[@modernlegend_gaming]

It's because the value scales with item power and is why it didn't change when u tried to boost it again... u wasted ur gold cause if u just ripped it off from the start then put it on a gear it's going to rescale based off the item power at the breakpoint it rolled on😅

[@jpipsvideos2506]

Bc its in the amulet, and any aspect that come or put on it will have 50% more and taking it out will reduce its effect by half.

I know :) Just not with this method :)

[@vladyslav007]

4:12 - man, it is already best value so it couldn't improve even if it does work like you said previously because it is cooldown and the lower it is the better. It is cooldown value from 40 seconds to 20 and you already rolled 20 seconds which is best.

[@P4wnyhof]

With the flat damage you can increase past best value on a max roll :) Its possible - Thats why we tested

[@vladyslav007]

@@P4wnyhof developers might have added some kind of hard limit for this aspect as it would be OP-ish to lower cooldown even more. Btw, do you know if that trick is a legitimate or will it be fixed as bug?

[@antionewilson5069]

I was wondering if this was a glitch or known, because I have a rogue and did that once or twice and wasn't sure it was a thing.. The only thing I am sad about n you have to be careful on , is if you extract an aspect and imprint it on a new weapon, u had one that I love where as soon asbyou hit an elite, you get a barrier that lasts for 10 seconds which doesn't sound like a lot but it is massive to get a jump on them, but found a far superior amulet ..and I can't re-imprint it :(😢 so it's gone

[@TedTinker]

But what would be the purpose of upgrading the aspect on the original as opposed to the item you’re placing it on assuming your going to upgrade that item anyways. I guess only benefit is if the second item was already upgraded before the aspect was imprinted

[@WilloPR]

This is amazing for Blizzard Sorc

[@aaronshaw22]

The first irem you extracted was of a hifher tier then the one you tried to imprint on... Does it change if you imprint on a higher tier item and increase the properties then?

[@jackskellington9475]

Would imprinting the same aspect you took off a diff peice of gear increase value due to the same aspect?

[@jakexanthony]

Does it stack based on item slot? I'm thinking thorns on a barb.. zerk grants 100 thorns. Place in a 2h now is 200 thorns. Upgrade to rank 5, 400 thorns. Remove aspect and place in another 2h will it stay at 400 or double to 800. Values are just random

[@xX3N0PP0Xx]

Am I the only one that noticed he tried to upgrade past the allowable value twice? The first was the barrier when he imprinted, but the second was the 20-40 second cooldown when it was already at lowest cooldown. Sucks that it wasted resources, but maybe try it when it's not already the best value?

[@P4wnyhof]

You can go past the best value :)

[@Pl4sm0]

love your T-shirt, any tip where you got it from. Btw great video, learned quite some things

[@Batboy_915]

Great video. I especially like how you showed us what would not work. I'm playing as a sorc, and noticed that one of my aspects (Glacial Aspect) says it does X to Y damage in brackets, but it actually does 1/2 X value in blue numbers next to the brackets. I had one on my item before I found that one which said 1/4 X value. Your own skill on your Coldbringer Adventurer's Boots says the blizzard damage is [1,914 to 2,297] damage, but in blue it says 606. What is causing our skills to be weaker than the minimum listed amount?

[@Krayor]

A bit old so dunno if you need it, but I assume what you're seeing is an aspect from a lower tier item (i.e., sacred) on a higher tier item (i.e., ancestral). The ranges increase on the higher tier items, but your aspect is "locked" at the lower tiers range if you extracted it from said lower tier item.

[@mistborn5097]

@@Krayor And to add onto this, aspects with non-percent ranges have said ranges determined by item power, so even if you took a max roll of say a sacred aspect at item power 640, a medium roll aspect dropped on a 740 would have a decent chance to have a higher value purely by the difference in item power itself, just like weapon dps or armor values etc

[@markcapestro5390]

Can this be done to Glacial Aspect for the Blizzard Sorceress?

[@danpilarski7910]

The aspect levels with the item power before you extract it. there is a cap to item power i put the bone storm turns to darkness aspect on my ring and it dropped in damage so watch it. The aspect came off a ring.

[@osmelp2010]

One question. You said 3-print then 4-upgrade. If you print after upgrade the item like an amulet in cases of percentage, could be better because the percentages will be printed over a maxed item?
