Sanctification - The Final Step of Season 11 Masterworking

Beyond Divine Gifts, Season 11 introduces Sanctification, the ultimate item upgrade stage following Tempering and Diablo 4 Items Masterworking. This is where players typically invest their rarest crafting resources or even decide whether to buy Diablo IV Items when chasing near-perfect gear.

After finishing all Tempering and Masterworking upgrades, you can bring an item to the Heavenly Forge and apply Sanctification using Sanctification Stones.
