Diablo 4 Crafting Cheat Sheet — Mythic Crafting, Runes, Gems & Caches

Crafting in Diablo 4 is spread across several vendors and systems, so it is easy to lose track of which recipe belongs where. This cheat sheet keeps the important recipes in one place: Mythic crafting, Horadric Cube upgrades, gem fragment conversion, rune crafting, and useful item caches.

It helps you decide which materials to keep, which recipes are worth prioritizing, and where to convert excess resources into something more useful.

Quick Crafting Overview

Start here if you only need to know which vendor or system handles each crafting category.

Vendor / System	Main crafts	When to use it
Blacksmith	Random Mythic Unique / equipment-related crafts	Useful when you want to spend Resplendent Sparks or craft gear caches.
Jeweler	Targeted Mythic Unique crafting and Gem Conversion	Best for specific Mythic Unique recipes and turning spare gem fragments into another type.
Horadric Cube	Amalgamation and Rune Crafting	Used for upgrading groups of items, converting runes, and working with boss trophies.
Occultist	Nightmare Sigils	Relevant when preparing dungeon entries.
Alchemist	Crafting material upgrades	Useful for improving or converting materials depending on what you need.

Best Materials to Watch

Several recipes repeat the same material patterns. When cleaning your stash or planning a craft, pay extra attention to these resources:

Resplendent Spark — required for every Mythic Unique craft listed here.
Runes — used for targeted Mythic crafts and Rune Crafting recipes.
Gem Fragments — used for Gem Conversion and the Legendary Amulet Cache.
Forgotten Soul — appears in both cache recipes.
Boss Trophies — can be converted through Amalgamation into boss-specific Unique rewards.

Mythic Unique Crafting

Mythic crafting is the most important section if you are trying to target a specific chase item. Every listed Mythic craft requires 2 Resplendent Sparks, while targeted crafts also require specific rune combinations.

The random Mythic Unique option is cheaper to understand but less controlled: it costs 2 Resplendent Sparks and 50,000,000 Gold. Targeted crafts give you a specific item, but they require the matching rune set.

Mythic Item	Materials Required
Random Mythic Unique	- Resplendent Spark x2 - Gold x50,000,000
Ahavarion, Spear of Lycander	- Resplendent Spark x2 - Yom x6 - Poc x6 - Cir x6

Horadric Cube Recipes

The Horadric Cube handles several conversion-style recipes. The main idea is simple: turn a group of lower-value or duplicate items into a higher-value result, whether that is a rune, tribute, sigil, or boss-specific Unique reward.

Amalgamation Recipes

Amalgamation recipes use a 5-to-1 structure. This is useful when you have stacks of the same type of item and want to push them into a higher rarity or a more focused reward.

Input	Output
5x any Nightmare Sigils	1x Escalation Sigil
5x any Magic Runes	1x random Rare Rune
5x any Rare Runes	1x random Legendary Rune
5x same Magic Tributes	1x Rare Tribute of the same type
5x same Rare Tributes	1x Legendary Tribute of the same type
5x Greater Tribute of Armaments	1x Mythic Tribute of Armaments
5x same Boss Trophy	1x random Unique from that Boss

Rune Crafting Recipes

Rune crafting lets you target a listed rune recipe by combining a specific rune with additional Rare and Legendary runes. This section is especially useful when planning Mythic Unique crafts that require exact rune names.

Recipe	Runes Received
Bac	1x Prid 5x Any Rare Runes 5x Any Legendary Runes
Igni	1x Teb 5x Any Rare Runes 5x Any Legendary Runes
Tam	1x Ner 5x Any Rare Runes 5x Any Legendary Runes
Yul	1x Ur 5x Any Rare Runes 5x Any Legendary Runes
Eom	1x Tzic 5x Any Rare Runes 5x Any Legendary Runes
Jah	1x Cem 5x Any Rare Runes 5x Any Legendary Runes
Ohm	1x Qua 5x Any Rare Runes 5x Any Legendary Runes
Vex	1x Gar 5x Any Rare Runes 5x Any Legendary Runes
Yom	1x Kry 5x Any Rare Runes 5x Any Legendary Runes

Specific Rune Conversion Chances

If you are converting duplicates rather than using a named recipe, the outcome depends on the starting rune quality.

Recipe	Runes Received
3 of a specific Legendary Rune for 1 Rune	100% chance for 1 Random Rune of Legendary Quality
3 of a specific Rare Rune for 1 Rune	85% chance for 1 Random Rune of Rare Quality 15% chance for 1 Random Rune of Legendary Quality
3 of a specific Magic Rune for 1 Rune	85% chance for 1 Random Rune of Magic Quality 15% chance for 1 Random Rune of Rare Quality

Gem Fragment Conversion

Gem Conversion is handled at the Jeweler and lets you turn one fragment type into another. Each recipe creates 200 fragments of the target type by consuming three different fragment types at 100 each.

This is useful when one gem color is blocking your crafting plan while your stash is overloaded with other fragment types.

Recipe	Materials Required
Amethyst Fragment x 200	Diamond Fragment x 100 Ruby Fragment x 100 Topaz Fragment x 100
Diamond Fragment x 200	Amethyst Fragment x 100 Emerald Fragment x 100 Skull Fragment x 100
Emerald Fragment x 200	Amethyst Fragment x 100 Skull Fragment x 100 Topaz Fragment x 100
Ruby Fragment x 200	Amethyst Fragment x 100 Sapphire Fragment x 100 Topaz Fragment x 100
Sapphire Fragment x 200	Diamond Fragment x 100 Ruby Fragment x 100 Skull Fragment x 100
Skull Fragment x 200	Diamond Fragment x 100 Emerald Fragment x 100 Sapphire Fragment x 100
Topaz Fragment x 200	Emerald Fragment x 100 Ruby Fragment x 100 Sapphire Fragment x 100

Accessory and Blacksmith Caches

Cache recipes consume bulk materials and return a focused gear reward. They are best used after your core Mythic, rune, and gem crafting needs are already covered.

Recipe	Materials Required
Legendary Amulet Cache	- Gem Fragments x30,000 - Forgotten Soul x60
Blacksmith's Cache	- Rawhide x1500 - Iron Chunk x1200 - Veiled Crystal x600 - Forgotten Soul x50

Crafting Priority Tips

For Mythic items: check whether you want the random Mythic craft or a targeted recipe first. Targeted crafts require the right rune combination.
For runes: avoid spending key runes blindly if they are part of a Mythic recipe you plan to craft later.
For gems: use conversion only when you need a specific fragment type; otherwise, keep a balanced stockpile.
For boss trophies: save matching trophies if you want to turn them into a random Unique from that boss.
For caches: treat them as a material sink once your core crafting needs are already covered.

FAQ

The random Mythic Unique craft is listed under the Blacksmith, while the targeted Mythic recipes are listed under the Jeweler.

How many Resplendent Sparks do Mythic crafts require?

Every Mythic Unique craft in this cheat sheet requires 2 Resplendent Sparks.

What is Amalgamation used for?

Amalgamation converts groups of 5 matching or compatible items into a higher-rarity or more focused reward, such as upgraded runes, tributes, sigils, or boss-specific Unique rewards.

How does Gem Conversion work?

Each Gem Conversion recipe creates 200 fragments of one gem type by consuming 100 fragments of three other gem types.

Should I use Rune Crafting or save runes?

Save runes first if they are part of a targeted Mythic Unique recipe you want. Use Rune Crafting when you have duplicate or excess runes that do not block your current goal.
