The Diablo games have had many classifications for their gears over the decades of the franchise. Common, Magic, and Legendary, to name a few of them. Diablo 4 brings with it a new name for the mix -- Sacred Items. Sacred Items are incredibly strong pieces of gear that you should definitely turn your World Tier up to increase the odds of getting as many as you can.
Do not forget about Unique Items, though; the effects of unique items can be invaluable to some builds and may be of more use to you than a Sacred Rare Item in its place.
What Are Sacred Items?
Sacred Items are just regular items that are much more powerful. You can find Sacred Item counterparts for both Legendary and Rare pieces of gear, making them the obvious choice over the standard variations of these gear while you play around in World Tier 3. You can also find Sacred Unique Items, which will be more valuable than regular unique pieces of gear. Once you start playing in World Tier 4, you will come across Ancestral forms of gear. Ancestral gear will be the next step in your journey to reach higher levels of power in the game as your levels continue to increase.
How To Get Sacred Items?
If you want to get your hands on some Sacred Items, you will first need to complete the Cathedral of Light Capstone Dungeon and the game’s main campaign. After doing so, you can try your hand at getting some Sacred Items by tackling Nightmare Dungeons at a World Tier 3. Be sure to slay every foe, open every chest, and break every object for the best chances of drops.
If all of this sounds a bit overwhelming and confusing, don’t worry, you will get the hang of it by just playing the game. A good rule of thumb is to always play at the highest World Tier that you can handle. This will help you progress at a solid speed and give you the highest drop chances for the best loot.
