In Diablo Immortal, gear enchanting unlocks on a legendary equipment piece once that specific slot reaches upgrade Rank 30. After reaching this cap, standard blacksmith upgrades stop for that slot, allowing you to re-roll individual bonus magic affixes rather than raising base attributes further. To perform an enchantment, you must gather specialized ancient scrap materials, which come from salvaging ancient legendary gear or trading with the Material Merchant.

How to Unlock Gear Enchanting

Standard primary gear progression requires upgrading items through regular blacksmith ranks using scrap, enchanted dust, and glowing shards. Enchanting becomes available only after a legendary item hits Rank 30:

  1. Reach Rank 30: Upgrade your chosen primary gear slot to Rank 30 at the blacksmith.
  2. Access the Enchanting Interface: Once at the maximum rank, the enchanting option becomes selectable for that piece.
  3. Target Bonus Affixes: Select the specific secondary magic affix you want to replace. The base Combat Rating and primary attributes of the item remain unchanged.
  4. Accept or Retain: When you roll a new affix, the interface allows you to either accept the replacement or retain your current affix, ensuring you do not lose a useful roll to bad RNG.

Because reaching Rank 30 requires a heavy investment of baseline materials, focus on bringing your primary offensive pieces to Rank 30 first before attempting to unlock enchanting across all six slots.

How to Get Ancient Enchanting Materials

Enchanting does not consume regular upgrade scrap. Instead, it requires specialized ancient materials. You can acquire these resources through two main methods:

  • Salvaging Ancient Legendary Items: Deconstruct spare or duplicate ancient legendary drops directly at the blacksmith. Salvaging ancient-tier gear yields ancient scrap components rather than standard crafting debris.
  • Material Merchant Exchanges: Visit the Material Merchant in Westmarch or other primary hubs. You can trade excess crafting materials and ancient crafting tokens for converted ancient scrap.

If you have extra ancient gear that does not fit your build, check whether you need to extract its legendary essence first. Once the essence is secured, salvage the item immediately to build your pool of enchanting components.

When re-rolling affixes on Rank 30 equipment, choose stats that support your active role in PvE or PvP combat:

CategoryHigh-Priority AffixesPrimary Benefit
OffensiveCritical Hit Chance, Primary Attack Damage, Skill DamageRaises damage output against dungeon mobs and raid bosses.
DefensiveDamage Reduction, Cheat Death Cooldown, Maximum LifeImproves survivability in high-tier rifts and PvP combat.
UtilityMovement Speed, Cooldown Reduction, Beneficial Effect DurationSmoothes skill rotations and speeds up farming clears.

Target your main hand and off-hand weapons first to secure offensive rolls that increase overall clear speeds. Once your weapons have functional affixes, use your remaining ancient scrap to roll defensive attributes on your armor pieces. Avoid burning excessive scrap chasing perfect maximum values on gear you plan to replace in higher difficulty tiers.
