In Diablo 4, players can try a new dungeon challenge called The Artificer’s Pit. This dungeon lets you make your gear stronger by improving its existing abilities, but you must explore the dungeon to do this. The Artificer’s Pit is one of the toughest challenges in Diablo 4 and will test your character’s power.
Before Season 4, you could upgrade your gear at the blacksmith five times, with each upgrade boosting your gear the same amount. Now, with the Artificer’s Pit, you can upgrade your gear up to 12 times, giving you even more benefits.
Also, legendary items now drop with Greater Affixes, making them even stronger. These new upgrades help players face tough level 200 encounters.
Artificer’s Pit Location
The Artificer’s Pit becomes available once you reach Diablo 4’s World Tier IV: Torment and complete a special quest to finish at least a tier 45 nightmare dungeon. Here, enemies are above level 100, so you’ll need a strong character. Playing with friends can help you clear the dungeons faster.
To enter The Artificer’s Pit, you need to collect three rune shards for each run. You can find these in Whisper Caches, Helltides, Legion Events, Nightmare Dungeons, and World Bosses. Once your character is fully leveled and you have the right gear, you will be ready to face this new dungeon challenge.
How To Use The Artificer’s Pit?
To make your gear even better, you’ll need materials from The Artificer’s Pit to use master working in Diablo 4. Every piece of gear can be upgraded up to 12 times, which greatly improves its abilities. The Artificer’s Pit is the only place where you can get these masterwork materials.
These dungeons are like Diablo 4’s Nightmare Dungeons but with a twist. There are no revives, and there’s a time limit. Each death takes away time from the timer. Unlike Nightmare Dungeons, The Artificer’s Pit doesn’t have objectives other than defeating enemies.
To upgrade your gear:
- From levels 1-4, use Obducite.
- From levels 5-8, use Ingolith.
- From levels 9-12, use Neathiron.
Each upgrade increases the gear’s abilities by 5%. At ranks 4, 8, and 12, one random ability will get a 25% boost. Masterworking your best gear is one of the final steps to becoming the strongest in Diablo 4.
