Joined by General Manager Rod Fergusson, Game Director Joe Shely, Lead Class Designer Adam Jackson, and Lead Game Producer Melissa Corning, the team explained the many ways you can customize your playstyle and character.
Player choice permeates everything you can do in Diablo IV, from how you look to the abilities you use to carve your way through the open world. Check out the blog: TAKE CONTROL OF SANCTUARY — PLAY YOUR WAY IN DIABLO IV for all the details.

Upgrade your equipment by visiting merchants of creation in villages to level up items or add sockets. The new one character customization offers almost endless character creation options.
