Diablo 4 Gearing 101: From The Pit to Sanctifying Mythic Uniques

As a long-time World of Warcraft player, diving into Diablo 4 has been a wild ride of discovery and occasional frustration. After 10 days of pushing the Pit and refining my Arbiter Paladin, I’ve learned there is a "Golden Rule" to gearing that can save you millions of gold and rare materials.

In this video, I walk you through my personal process for making a character stronger. I’ll show you the exact order you need to follow—from imprinting aspects at the Occultist to Tempering and Masterworking at the Blacksmith—before you even think about hitting the Heavenly Forge for Sanctification.

I also share a breakdown of the activities I use to farm gear, including The Pit, Undercity Tributes, and Lair Bosses. Plus, stick around for the end where I show off a game-changing interaction between the Argent Veil and Herald's Morning Star that turned my evade into a screen-clearing Blessed Hammer machine!

What we cover: ✅ Why the order of upgrading matters (The "Proud Cap" lesson). ✅ Farming The Pit for Glyph levels and Paragon progression. ✅ How to use the Occultist, Blacksmith, and Jewel Crafter efficiently. ✅ Sanctification: The high-risk, high-reward final step. ✅ My 18-Rank Blessed Hammer "Evade" Build.
