Baleful Fragments are an important resource in Diablo 4, allowing players to upgrade Legendary weapons as part of their crafting. This will be a solid part of the game’s crafting progressions system, and something you actively need to engage with. However, there is a catch, as you can only get Baleful Fragments by destroying legendary weapons.

Diablo 4’s Baleful Fragments are an important part of end-game legendary weapon upgrades. Here’s how to get them.

How to get Baleful Fragments in Diablo 4¶

As mentioned, the only way you can get Baleful Fragments in Diablo 4, at least reliably, is by dismantling Legendary weapons at a blacksmith. Simply go to the Blacksmith, and click the Salvage button, and then select a Legendary item you no longer want. Once you’ve confirmed it, you can get Baleful Fragments as a salvaged resource.

But, before you do that, make sure the legendary weapon you want to dismantle is not wielding a power you can extract. Remember that each legendary power on a piece of gear can have different ranges of values for the legendary effect. So, in some instances, it may be better to extract the legendary aspect, rather than dismantle it for its salvage quality gear.

Coiling Wards in Diablo 4, among other legendary crafting resources, can drop from the Helltide event.

There are other ways you can get them too, such as going to an Helltide event, doing an event in the region, and opening a box at the end of the events. Those Helltide events drop Coiling Wards, which are legendary crafting resources for armor, so, it is fairly safe to presume you can get Baleful Fragments from these events too. So, if you happen to do an Helltide, you can generate one of two things, potentially Baleful Fragments and other legendary crafting items like Fiend Rose, Forgotten Souls, Abstruse Sigil, or lots of legendaries, which you can target farm to get good weapon legendary aspects, or potentially salvage from more Baleful Fragments.

Of course, there are other ways you can farm legendary weapons, such as Treasure Goblins, Tree of Whispers, Legion event, and Nightmare Dungeon farms at end game. All of this content will flood you with legendary items that you will get a steady supply of legendary extract powers, and dismantled items for your legendary crafting resources. and there you have it, you now know hot get and farm Baleful Fragments in Diablo 4.
