In D3 we got exclusive mats from disenchanting them, but so far I’ve found no use for common and magic items in D4. Any ideas?
Honestly, I’m just happy we don’t have all the other rarities that come with most RPGs.
Greys, Whites, Greens, Blues, Purples, etc, etc, etc. At least Diablo is simplified to where you just are looking for Rare or Legendary.
I suspect that there used be an upgrade rarity option like D3, which you can use to upgrade common to magic and magic to rare, which will then add more lines to them, but it might have been scrapped, like the crafting option. Since the devs did say at one point that even magic items could be useful during the development.
Maybe to make it feel more special when an actually useful item drops?
Yeah, I think that’s a key purpose. Plus, it’s just fun when enemies/chests/etc are loot pinatas!
