Legendary items in Diablo 4 are enough to make your head spin. What makes an item Legendary, anyway? Well, put simply, it is an item with a Legendary Aspect tied to it. This means items can become Legendary if you imprint Aspects to them via the Occultist. Let me explain.
Can you Imprint Normal Legendary Aspects (WT2) onto Sacred Items in Diablo 4?
Yes, you can imprint Legendary Aspects from “Normal” or non-Sacred items onto higher-tier gear found in World Tier 3. In fact, normal Aspects cost less materials to imprint compared to their Sacred or Ancestral counterpart, so keep this in mind if you are looking to upgrade your high-end gear on the cheap!

How to Imprint Legendary Aspects in Diablo 4
To Imprint an Aspect, you’ll first need one in your either your inventory or Codex of Power. To unlock Aspects in your Codex, simply run dungeons for a guaranteed first-clear drop. To get Aspects into your inventory, you must Extract them from Legendaries you find in the wild.
Legendary Aspects can vary in their quality, and Codex Aspects are always the lowest possible roll. So keep an eye out for Aspect rolls on gear you find, it might be even better! You can extract these worthwhile Aspects at the Occultist for some gold.
