Masterworking is a crafting system in Diablo IV, introduced in Season 4.
Masterworking is an end-game crafting system, where players use materials earned from the Pit of Artificers to upgrade their weapons. Masterworking improves the overall strength of all affixes on a weapon, and at every 4th tier, massively upgrades one of its equipped affixes. The affix that receives the bonus will turn Blue. If the same affix is improved again, it will change to Yellow, and in rare cases, it will turn Orange if improved a third time.
As of Season 11, Masterworking will no longer increases an item's affix value. Instead, it improves the quality of an item, which gives a bonus to its base damage, armor, or resistance of an item.[1] As of this season, an item can be Masterworked up to Rank 25. Once an item's rank reaches this point, it receives a capstone bonus, which increases its value by 50% which stacks with the Greater Affix bonus.
