The largest modification to Diablo 4's patch notes for version 1.4.1 is a decrease in the Masteworking system's gold cost. Additional tweaks will be made to Diablo 4's crafting system in addition to bug fixes and other enhancements to the game's many features.

When Diablo 4 Season 4 was released, Blizzard completely revamped the game by including substantial adjustments to the itemization. Masterworking, a crafting system that lets players raise the worth of already-existing Affixes in Diablo 4's End Game, was one of the changes. In order to utilize the system, players of Diablo 4 must gather the necessary ingredients in the Pit of the Artificers Nightmare Dungeon, combine a little bit of luck, and then customize their equipment to precisely fit their character's build. Nevertheless, Diablo 4 is at last addressing the criticism leveled at Masteworking.

One of the most notable changes in the patch notes for Diablo 4's extensive update 1.4.1 is the reduction in Masteworking's cost. Masteworking materials can be transmuted straight after the update, which launches on Tuesday, 28th May, removing the requirement to use the Materials Cache in order to obtain them. Once one character in Diablo 4 has been unlocked for Masteworking, all characters in all realms will be able to use the function. Using Diablo 4's Masterworking system will use less gold at ranks 5 (450,00 to 400,000), 8 (1,000,000 to 800,000), and 12 (10,000,000 to 2,500,000), even though nothing changes at ranks 1-4.

With improvements to the Masterworking system and a reduction in the cost of gold, Diablo 4 update 1.4.1 will enhance the drop rate of Scattered Prisms in diverse sources. Scattered Prisms will now drop more frequently from treasure goblins, and the drop rate in Diablo 4's World Tiers will rise with tier. In World Tiers I and II, 25% in World Tier III, and 30% in World Tier IV, players of Diablo 4 will thus have a 15% chance of obtaining Scattered Prisms.

The Diablo 4 community has long criticized Masteworking for being too expensive in gold, believing that it discourages players from developing and testing new builds. To make Masteworking more accessible, Blizzard has developed a significant update that will make the system more affordable and user-friendly. The community waits to see what suggestions for adjustments to Diablo 4 may be handled in upcoming updates as the developers take care of this feedback.
