Maximising your power is a key feature of Diablo 4, and critical for players looking to become the best at their chosen class in the game. Read on for a primer on how to get Baleful Fragments in Diablo 4, and learn how to use the rare crafting material to your advantage.

Where can you get Baleful Fragments in Diablo 4?

Baleful Fragments are a rare crafting material in Diablo 4. To get Baleful Fragments, you must salvage legendary weapons, offhand frills, or shields at a Blacksmith.

However, not every visit with the Blacksmith will reap Baleful Fragments. You will only receive Baleful Fragments for salvaging loot with an Item Power of 400 or higher. And still, sometimes you will receive a bunch of common crafting materials instead of Baleful Fragments.

Salvaging items in Diablo 4 will dismantle them into crafting materials, efficiently deleting the nominated gear. With that, you may want to be selective in which legendary weapons, offhand frills, and/or shields you salvage in hopes of procuring Baleful Fragments.

Where can you use the Baleful Fragments?

While it's never fun to salvage a legendary item in Diablo 4, the allure of Baleful Fragments makes it something you may want to consider.

Baleful Fragments are a key ingredient in upgrading and improving legendary weapons and other pieces of gear. If you stumble upon a legendary that you're particularly fond of, use Baleful Fragments to help it reach its true potential.

Another use of Baleful Fragments in Diablo 4 is imprinting Aspects from the Diablo 4 Codex of Power. Aspects are passive perks that you can use to augment your gear. Aspects can shape builds entirely in Diablo 4, so having enough Baleful Fragments to imprint Aspects on your favorite weapons is extremely important.

If you hope to survive in the higher World Tiers, you will need upgraded legendaries with Aspects fitting your playstyle. Stock up on Baleful Fragments in Diablo 4 and ensure you're always ready to improve your latest upgrade!
