Where to find Baleful Fragments in Diablo 4

The only known method to get Baleful Fragments in Diablo 4 is by salvaging Legendary weapons. You can salvage a Legendary weapon at a Blacksmith in any of the towns or settlements.

However, it is crucial to remember that you cannot use Legendary armor to obtain these materials. They only drop from Legendary weapons and that too above 400 Item Power.

Of course, knowing when to salvage a Legendary item is often a tough decision, as some are worth keeping and upgrading. However, to upgrade the ones you need the most you’ll need to sacrifice the rest to obtain the right materials.

While Baleful Fragments can feel like a finite resource in Diablo 4, you can always obtain more by farming Legendary items, then salvaging them when you return to town.

So that’s how you get your hands on more Baleful Fragments in Diablo 4. For more Diablo 4 content, check out some of our below guides:
