How to sanctify gear in Diablo 4 Season 11

Diablo 4 Season 11 is now live across all platforms, and the new Sanctification system completely overhauls the crafting system as we knew it.

When you sanctify a gear, you have the chance to take it past its original potential. However, all changes that you make will be permanent, so you’ll have to decide carefully. This guide will explain the complete process so that you can sanctify your gear properly.

How does Sanctification work in Diablo 4

Introduced as part of Season 11 content, Sanctification acts as a one-time infusion that adds bonus stats to your gear. The gear you sanctify will become unmodifiable, and you can’t make any changes to it (aside from adding Runes and Gems). This is what a gear gains on Sanctification.

• Bonus legendary power
• Upgrade existing Affix to Greater Affix
• Add an additional Affix from an exclusive pool of Sanctification
• Replace an existing Affic with a random Sanctification Affix
• Add a random amount of bonus Quality (5-25)
• Get a Unique or a Mythic power on rare occasions.

How to sanctify gear in Diablo 4

There are two ways to perform Santification in Diablo 4.

• Pre-torment: You’ll get the chance to sanctify gear early in the game at the Heavenly Anvil. To do so, you’ll need to defeat a Lesser Evil in any event/activity. Doing so will allow you to use the Heavenly Anvil for sanctifying a gear. If you reject the chance, you’ll have to defeat another Lesser Evil to get the opportunity to use the Heavenly Anvil.
• Post-torment: Once you pass this difficulty, you can sanctify your gear with Heavenly Sigils. You can obtain Sigils by defeating the new bosses: Astraroth, Belial, and Bartok. Season events can also reward you with these sigils.

When should you sanctify gear in Diablo 4

The ideal time to sanctify a gear depends on you, but you should complete the following steps first: Temper, Enchant, and Masterwork. Once done, imprint a choice of Aspect on the gear. It’s only then that you should sanctify a gear to take it to the endgame level.
