If you want to maximize the effectiveness of your gear in Diablo 4, you must make full use of Tempering and Masterworking system in the game, which are aimed at offering you more agency and freedom in the aspects of item properties. Once you already have god rolls, you need Obducite to give it more power.

As the main resource for Masterworking gear, Obducite is quite essential to level up your performance. Unfortunately, this item is pretty scarce, but it is still easy to operate if you know the specific location information and method.

If you want to maximize the effectiveness of Legendary or Unique items like Wound Drinker, then be sure to collect enough Obducite and Masterwork them.

This article mainly introduces the ways to get Obducite for your reference, and the difficulty of each game varies. It is undoubtable that the difficulties are proportional to the amount that you are gonna to embrace.

Infernal Hordes

Infernal Hordes serve as a great channel to get both gear and crafting materials. Players are required to fend off waves of demons while collecting Aether simultaneously, a kind of currency specialized in Infernal Hordes and is basically used to open chests at the radar of the activity.

It is surprised to see one of these chests yield nothing but gem fragments Obducite. Therefore, by completing the Infernal Hordes activity, repeatedly joining in each run can easily get thousands of Obducite.

In Infernal Hordes, Infernal Compass is an essential item, which can be obtained by opening Helltide chests and Tree of Whispers caches. Or to claim them by completing Nightmare Dungeons and The Pit.

Nightmare Dungeons

As long as you have a spare Nightmare Dungeon Keys, then a ton of crafting materials together with some decent loots are waiting for you to pick up. Comparing to Infernal Hordes mentioned above, the quests in this dungeon are relatively simple and easy to deal with. And the time you devoted in is comparatively short. So it’s understandable that it yields less Obducite.

But generally speaking, Nightmare Dungeons are more profitable. Not only can players get equipment by defeating enemies and looting chests, but more valuable items can be embraced. For example, materials needed for summoning Diablo 4 bosses like the Beast in Ice.

Kurast Undercity

As a new dungeon that has been introduced in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion, Kurast Undercity serves as the last best source in the game. This activity is unique because the specific reward objects can be chosen.

Kurast Undercity activity offers players an opportunity to pick and choose what loot they get by the advantage of Tributes and Bargains system. As for Obducite farming, Tribute of Refinement is needed, which will award you Masterworking Materials once being successfully completed.

Tributes are obtained randomly, but except for Tribute of Refinement, which can provide you with Obducite, other types of Tributes are not applicable. Therefore, if you make farming Obducite your main goal, you will inevitably invest more time and effort in this dungeon.

Transmute At Alchemist

If you don’t collect enough Obducite in the above three activities, it is recommended to convert directly. But the premise is that you have enough Ingoliths or Neathiron TO transform them to Obducite directly. But it can only be transformed in Eternal Realm.

Obtainable After Reaching Level 60

As a late-game Masterworking material, Obducite is obtainable after reaching level 60. Completing various activities at higher difficulties will greatly increase your chances of obtaining Obducite.

How To Use Obducite?

As mentioned above, Obducite is mainly used to upgrade equipment. Obducite is quite essential to enhancing equipment affixes via Masterworking at Blacksmith. Equipped with enough Obducite and make an interaction with Blacksmith and switch to Masterworks Tab, you can upgrade your equipment.

How To Masterwork Equipment?

Temper Your Equipment

The first step to masterwork your equipment is to temper it at any blacksmith. Depending on the level of the equipment, the number of tempers required varies. Common equipment only needs to be tempered for only one time, but Ancestral equipment required to be tempered twice to be Masterworked.

After tempering, comes the role of Obducite that you have collected before. You can obtain it in the five ways mentioned above.

Begin Masterwork

Once you have the necessary materials, you can proceed to masterwork. Depending on the type, rarity, and level of the equipment being crafted, the amount and materials required will vary, so it is best to prepare more in advance.

You can also reset the rank of any equipment you’ve Masterworked by clicking the red circle next to the item. This will cost you 30 Iron Chunks or Raw Hide, 20 Veiled Crystals, 5 Forgotten Souls, and 5,000,000 Diablo 4 Gold in total.

It is important to note that Masterworking differs from the regular equipment upgrades of Blacksmith. Your equipment will not be improved by this, but only by adding affixes. Therefore, those who say that Masterworking will replace the position of Blacksmith are not reasonable.

Masterwork mechanic can enhance the affixes on your equipment by 5% every rank.

As a new class introduced in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC, Spiritborn has been given specific Aspects and Uniques, such as Rebounding Feathers Aspect And Wound Drinker Ring Unique.

This article is a detailed introduction to these two items. If you have chosen Spiritborn as your class, then keep reading.

Rebounding Feathers Aspect Details

Several Aspects are designed to be used by one class in Diablo 4. No matter which class you use, it is worthwhile to collect Aspects that are suitable for them. But as for Spiritborn, you can obtain those necessary Diablo 4 Items from multiple sources, not just the dungeon they are tied to.

To be honest, some specific Aspects can only be collected to your Codex by Salvaging an item, but Rebounding Aspect is not the same thing, which can be embraced from a new Dungeon added in D4: VoH.

Rebounding Feathers Aspect Effects

Primary Effect

Quill Volley’s feathers explode at their culmination and return, causing [35 - 55]% of their normal damage.

Item Types

• 1H Weapon
• 2H Weapon (+100% effectiveness)
• Gloves
• Amulet (+50% effectiveness)
• Rings

Function Of Rebounding Feathers Aspect

As a Spiritborn-exclusive Aspect, Rebounding Feathers are available to enhance the class’ Quill Volley skill.

With this Offensive Aspect being activated, your Quill Volley casts will burst out at their furthest point and then return to you, hitting enemies twice and potentially granting Vulnerable status twice. Moreover, It can also be imbued onto 1H and 2H Weapons, Gloves, Amulets, and Rings to get extra damage.

Although it can be counted as one of the most fantastic Aspects for Spiritborn following Eagle Spirit Hall and its associated builds, several Unique effects still owns the potential to transcend it.

But regardless, Rebounding Feathers is indispensable to level up Quill Volley Spiritborn build. So it is wise to unlock it as soon as possible and keep it on an Amulet. As one of the most useful combat Aspects in this build, Rebounding Feathers is undoubtedly your best bet until you get Unique items like Rod of Kepeleke and high-roll Defensive and Resource Gain Aspects.

How To Get Rebounding Aspect?

After completing Forge of Malice dungeon in Nahantu, Rebounding Aspect will automatically unlock. This is a dungeon that nestles in the entrance to Nahantu from Gea Kul, conveniently located.

Once players can obtain Rebounding Aspect in this dungeon, it will be added to your Codex, but its rolled stats remain low. To increase the damage bonus from 35% to 55%, a Legendary item will be required and salvaged.

Rebounding Aspect rarely can be found in Legendary equipment in Diablo 4. When you successfully salvage a Legendary item with Rebounding Aspect, the appearance of your Codex will automatically upgrade to this new higher level.

If this Aspect at its highest roll is equipped onto a 2H weapon, your Quill Volley Rebounding Feathers will undoubtedly bring unprecedented damage, so it is well worth having.

Wound Drinker Unique Details

If you are desperate for one of the best Poison Rings for their Spiritborn, then please pay much attention to Wound Drinker. Although it may not be so easy to get, it is a time-consuming task, but it is worth it.

Luckily, similar to most of Unique items in the game, Wound Drinker can be target-farmed from endgame activities.

Where To Get Wound Drinker Unique Ring?

Once you have reached Level 60 and Torment 1 Difficulty, Wound Drinker will drop into any activities. But different activities have different drop rates. Here are some activities that offer higher Unique drop rates:

• Fighting Lair Bosses
• Nightmare Dungeons
• Caches of Items from Dark Citadel
• Opening Helltide Chests of Mystery

Players need to pay attention to those dungeons that feature monsters, such as monsters in Demon or Ghost families, because they usually have higher drop rates.

There are other channels for you to embrace this ring if you are failed after trying those methods. For example, fighting with Beast in the Ice. This can be said to be the most convenient and effective way.

It is noticeable that Beast in the Ice in Tormented version is much harder than in Standard version. Therefore, it is recommended to enter Standard version to launch fight with this monster.

Wound Drinker Unique Affixes And Effects

• + [4.2–37.5]% Poison Resistance
• + [2–130] Armor
• + [10–373] Thorns
• + [5–9] Damage Reduction from Poisoned Enemies
• + [1–3] Toxic Skin (Spiritborn only)
• Every time you perform Thorns Damage, you gain [1–7] Vigor Gain Toxic Skin’s Passive Effect

Builds That Use Wound Drinker

Wound Drinker is perfect for those builds that give much emphasis on poison damage benefit. And those builds that focus on Thorns can also benefit. Here lies the popular Spiritborn builds that can use Wound Drinker:

• Stinger Centipede Spiritborn
• Touch of Death Centipede Spiritborn
• Rake Thorns Spiritborn
