Diablo 4 adjusts gold costs for Masterworking
The changes regarding costs in detail:
- Ranks 1-4: Unchanged.
- Rank 5: reduced from 450,000 to 400,000
- Rank 8: reduced from 1,000,000 to 800,000
- Rank 12: reduced from 10,000,000 to 2,500,000
Especially at the highest rank 12, the gold costs have been reduced to a quarter of the original costs. The developers state as an explanation for the changes:
We want the main focus of Masterworking to be on acquiring materials rather than the necessity of gold. We want to avoid the possibility of having the materials available, but needing to take extra time to collect the gold.
