• ✅ Tempering is no longer random, and you can now choose the exact stats you want.
• ✅ Masterworking enhances quality instead of raising stat values, increasing base damage, armor, or resistance.
• ✅ Sanctifying is the final stage of item upgrades, a gambling system that can grant huge rewards or permanently delete your item.

In Season 11, items will drop with 4 core stats instead of 3.

• ✅ You can choose the stats you want from the Tempering Manual and apply them.
• ⚠️ You can only apply one Tempering stat per item.
• ✅ Tempering attempts can be restored infinitely, so there's no fear of bricking your item.

Builds that rely on specific stats like cooldown reduction or resource cost reduction may not be as strong as in previous seasons.

• ✅ Masterworking increases the quality stat, which enhances the item's base damage, armor, or resistance.
• ✅ Each Masterworking level randomly adds 2-5 quality points.
• ✅ Reaching 20 quality unlocks a capstone masterwork, upgrading one of the item's random stats to a higher tier.
• ⚠️ The stat that gets upgraded to a higher tier is determined randomly.

You can reroll the Capstone, but the quality will remain.

• ⚠️ Sanctifying makes the item unmodifiable, preventing Tempering, Masterworking, and Enchanting.
• ✅ Sanctifying can add a second Legendary Aspect to the item, upgrade a stat to a higher tier, or add a new Sanctified stat.
• ⛔️ Sanctifying can permanently delete your item.

Celestial Emblems can be obtained from Season 11 bosses. Sanctifying is the final step for players looking to tackle the highest-level content.

A step-by-step guide to making the most of the new item system:

1. Acquire Items: Look for items with 4 core stats.
2. Tempering: Choose a Tempering Manual that fits your build and apply the stats you want.
3. Masterworking: Masterwork to quality 20 to enhance base stats.
4. Capstone Reroll: Reroll the Capstone until the stat you want is upgraded to a higher tier.
5. Sanctifying: (Optional) If the item is perfect, try Sanctifying it at the Celestial Forge.

Existing items in the Eternal Realm are not compatible with the new system. You'll need to farm new items and upgrade them through the new system.
