Uber Unique crafting is coming to Diablo 4, according to patch notes for Update 1.3.2, which goes live on February 13.

Recently, a Diablo 4 developer told players to keep the unused Uber Uniques they’ve collected. Many were confused by the PSA, but figured Blizzard had good reason to share such a tip.

The hope was that the developer was working on a way to let players craft their own Uber Unique items. Now, it’s clear those hopes had merit.

Diablo 4’s next patch will introduce a salvaging and crafting system for the Uniques that should go a long way in addressing fan feedback.

Diablo 4’s 1.3.2 patch promises Uber Unique crafting

On Tuesday, February 13, Diablo 4 developers plan to unleash Update 1.3.2 across all platforms. The patch will most notably add the ability to salvage and craft Uber Uniques.

With this new system in place, users will have the autonomy to break down duplicate or undesired Uber Uniques into a resource. Said resource will then be used to build whatever Uber Unique a player desires.

In addition to Uber Unique Crafting, Diablo 4 1.3.2 also introduces a host of bug fixes, along with changes to the Cursed Shrine event. Instead of rewarding a Shrine bonus when the event concludes, the game will provide the bonus at the start.

The full patch notes for Diablo 4 1.3.2 appear below (via Blizzard News):

Game Updates

Uber Unique Crafting

Developer’s Note: Uber Unique items are highly sought after. With Season of Blood, we introduced target-farming Uber Unique Items with Uber Duriel to gives players another source of acquiring this type of item. However, we want to give players increased autonomy in obtaining their desired Uber Unique by addressing feedback that expressed how acquiring duplicate or undesired Uber Unique Items lessens that feeling of triumph. A new system empowers players to make use of duplicate and undesired Uber Unique items by salvaging them for a new resource which can be used to eventually craft an Uber Unique of their choosing. Additionally, the chance for Uber Unique Items to drop everywhere but in Uber Duriel encounters has been increased.

Uber Unique Items can now be salvaged to provide a new resource, Resplendent Sparks. Players can bring 5 Resplendent Sparks to the Alchemist and Transmute an Uber Unique of their choice.
- The Refine Resources tab at the Alchemist has been renamed Transmute, and the option to craft an Uber Unique item can be found under that tab.
- Note that the preview window for crafting an Uber Unique won’t display the item’s affixes.
The drop chance of Uber Unique items acquired outside of Uber Duriel encounters has been increased.

Miscellaneous

The Cursed Shrine event now gives the Shrine bonus at the start of the event instead of when it is finished.
