Secret Diablo 4 Transmutation Trick Saves Hours of Grinding

As you progress through Diablo 4 Season 4’s endgame, the Alchemist will become a crucial NPC for various tasks in the game, particularly Transmutation. This tab contains multiple features that can greatly aid in material grinding, potentially saving you hours of gameplay.

In the fourth season, players have the ability to Transmute various items, ranging from Uber Uniques to materials used for Masterworking. With such a diverse range of tasks available, it may become challenging for some players to keep up with all the features offered by the Alchemist.

Ever since Masterworking was introduced in Season of Loot Reborn, it has affected many players. This new feature involves obtaining rare items from The Pit and using them to enhance your gear. Unfortunately, some players are unaware that they can Transmute certain extra materials into valuable ones, causing them to miss out on a shortcut in the grinding process.

One of the necessary materials for Masterworking in Diablo 4 is Ingolith. Many players choose to obtain it by farming The Pit. However, if you have extra Neathiron in your inventory, you can easily transmute three Ingoliths from it.

It is crucial to pay attention to small details during your grinding journey, as they can save you hours of time, especially when facing off against Uber bosses and their Tormented Echo version in Diablo 4. Neglecting these details will only make the process of grinding for materials more tedious.

Reddit user ‘nakedhouse’ realized this feature in Season 4 and acknowledged their previous ignorance in a post on the Diablo 4 subreddit. “I was foolish not to notice it before, but I was farming the Obductite 9 times slower than I could by doing a Pit 90 at the same speed as a Pit 30,” explained the OP.

Although they were not the sole individuals to miss out, others also expressed their gratitude, stating: “I just began my Masterworks last night. You’ve saved me a considerable amount of time that I would have otherwise wasted.”Many players have even come to the conclusion that the game purposely keeps this information hidden from them, as it is not explicitly revealed.

If you are currently on your endgame journey in Diablo 4, it is crucial to understand all techniques for efficiently farming materials and fine-tuning your build before confronting the demonic danger.
