The Occultist is a new NPC in Diablo 4, and is able to distill Legendary powers into different items. Legendaries work differently in Diablo 4, and the same power can drop on different types of items. If you have a Legendary power on a weapon you don’t want to use, you can take it to the Occultist and they’ll break it down into a new item called Essence
Diablo IV Gold. Essence is just the Legendary power with no item attached. You can then place the Essence on a new item of certain types, upgrading a rare into a Legendary with that specific power.
The example in the blog post is a Barbarian axe with the Pent-Up power, causing Fury skills to do bonus damage the longer you abstain from casting them. The Occultist breaks down the Legendary axe into Pent-Up Essence (destroying it in the process). The Essence item then says you can use it on a Rare one-handed weapon, two-handed weapon, gloves, rings, or an amulet.
CERTAIN MONSTERS HOARD CERTAIN ITEMS
One of the smaller changes highlighted in the blog post is to help players hunt down certain items. Instead of loot being the typical Diablo free-for-all, certain monsters will obsess over certain item types. For example, bandits tend to carry maces, crossbows, and boots. Players who need a new pair of Legendary pants should try hunting down a pack of drowned enemies.
It’s a little silly, having to hunt the pant obsessives if you want a better shot at those trousers you have your eye on, but it should make farming a bit more friendly.
The Paragon system is the focus of the most complex section in the blog post
buy Diablo 4 Gold. Once you reach level 50, you’ll start gaining Paragon points — similar to how you got them in Diablo 3. But instead of just investing them in stat increases, you’ll unlock new nodes on a giant board.
