Red Dust is a valuable resource in Diablo IV that can be used to enhance the power of your character and equipment. It is a versatile material that can be used to:
- Increase the level of your items: Red Dust can be used to increase the level of any item by 1, up to a maximum of 10 levels. This is a great way to level up strong items before reaching their maximum power level or to level up weaker items so that they can be salvaged for resources.
- Imbue items: Red Dust can be used to imbue items with powerful buffs. These buffs can increase an item’s stats, grant new abilities, or even change its appearance

How to obtain Red Dust
Red Dust can be obtained in a variety of ways, including:
- By defeating powerful enemies: Some bosses and elite enemies will drop Red Dust as loot.
- By salvaging unwanted items: Any item that is not used can be salvaged to obtain Red Dust and other resources.
- By purchasing Red Dust from merchants: Some merchants will sell Red Dust. However, these prices may be steep, so it’s best to use other strategies to get Red Dust.
How to use Red Dust
Red Dust is used in a variety of ways. To see all the ways to use your Red Dust, you need to interact with and select the Weeping Altar. This can be found in every town and settlement in Sanctuary. You will interact with it as part of the story as well, so don’t worry about missing this. Interacting with the Weeping Altar, you will see the following options:
- Use Red Dust: This is where you’ll use Red Dust. You can use it to Imbue items, Augment items, Infuse items, or Extract Legendaries.
- Imbue: Imbue allows you to add a random enchantment to a piece of gear. This is ideal for good items that have unlucky enchantment rolls. The higher the base level of the item, the better the imbued enchantment will be. Consuming a large amount of Red Dust, you can increase the quality of the roll. Imbue is a great way to achieve perfect rolls on your gear.
- Augment: Augmentation is a new system in Diablo IV that increases the stats on specific gear slots by consuming additional copies of the same item. The higher the quality of the consumed item, the better the result will be. You can consume up to 5 items with this mechanic.
- Infuse: This mechanic requires the player to sacrifice a Legendary or Set item to gain its powers. Upon destruction, that item’s special bonus will be added to your passive list of affixes. Even after the item is sacrificed, any gear upgraded with said Legendary power will maintain those bonuses.
- Extract Legendary Powers: This option allows you to strip a specific Legendary or Set item of its special bonus and store it for later on. Similar to the Augment system, you can then add this power to another item. Do note, doing this will destroy the original item, but adds another layer of min-maxing your gear.
Tips for using Red Dust
Here are a few tips for using Red Dust effectively:
- Use Red Dust sparingly: Don’t go around upgrading every single one of your items. Save it and use it wisely.
- Prioritize your upgrades: Determine which upgrades will offer the most value to your build. Consider your build, available resources, and overall goals.
- Experiment with different buffs: Don’t be afraid to try different buffs to see what works best for you. Buffs can have a huge impact on your character’s power, so experimenting is a good idea.
- Be patient: Upgrading your gear and min-maxing your build takes time. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t have the perfect gear right away. Have fun with the process.
Red Dust is a valuable resource in Diablo IV, but it is also a finite resource. Use it wisely, and you will be rewarded with powerful gear.
