Mythic Unique Crafting is receiving several changes to address feedback in Season 15.
Upgrade Item to Mythic in the Horadric Cube
One of the largest criticisms of Season 14 was the randomness of this recipe, in that the item received would be a random item of the same slot, rather than identical to the one used in the recipe.
In Season 15, the Unique item used will remain the same after upgrading and even retain its affixes.
Crafted Item Limit
The previously removed “1 Crafted Item” rule is returning but only for Uniques crafted via the Horadric Cube. Mythic Uniques crafted from the Blacksmith or the Jeweller will not have the Crafted tag.
Mythic Unique Crafting Changes
While the methods to create Mythic Uniques remain the same, the outcomes are far more deterministic.
Mythic Uniques can be crafted two ways:
- Horadric Cube: Upgrade Direct Item to Mythic
- Jeweler: Rune Crafting > Mythic Uniques
The “Upgrade Direct Item to Mythic” recipe in the Horadric Cube will be more expensive than the recipes through the Blacksmith or Jeweler, but it will also be a total 1:1 transfer. As the name implies, this is a direct transfer to a Mythic state: the random factors are gone. Put in a Tibault’s Will with ideal affixes and dialed-in Tempering and Masterworking, and you’ll get a Mythic-ized version of that Tibault’s Will with all affixes and modifications retained. The only restriction is that you cannot use this recipe on an Unmodifiable item, so beware of Transfiguring your precious Mythic Unique candidate!
The Jeweler Rune Crafting recipe creates Mythic Uniques usable by your class with a recipe combining Resplendent Sparks and Runes. You’ll be able to craft Mythic Uniques by choosing a slot (1-Handed Weapon, Ring, etc), which will return a random class-specific Mythic Unique from that slot.
Mythic Uniques created using the powerful Horadric Cube Upgrade Direct recipe will have a Crafted tag. You will be able to equip only one Crafted tag item, but only Mythic Uniques crafted using this recipe will have this tag.
Mythic Uniques created using the Jeweler’s method will not have a Crafted tag. However, there are plenty of created options that don’t include a Crafted tag, so there are still many options for multiple Mythics.
