Codex of Power and Legendary Aspects

Last Updated: December 3rd 2023

Share on Social

When you get a Legendary Item during normal gameplay, you can equip it to use the Aspect, or travel to the Occultist to Extract the Aspect from the Legendary Item, destroying it in the process. Once you have an Extracted Aspect, you can Imprint it onto any Rare Item or Legendary Item that you wish. If you Imprint a Rare Item, it becomes a Legendary Item, and if you Imprint a Legendary Item, it overwrites the existing Aspect gaining the new effect. A limited number Aspects are also available from the Codex of Power and the Seasonal Journey.

Future of the Codex of Power? During BlizzCon, Joe Shelly hinted at a future where all Aspects would be part of the Codex of Power. When that happens, this guide will be prepared to tell you all the details on how to extract ALL aspects into the Codex of Power.

Not sure which Aspects you want or how to acquire them? Read our full Legendary Aspect list below.

Aspect Categories

Not all Aspects can be Imprinted to just any Rare or Legendary Item. Aspects are divided by category, and depending on its category it can be Imprinted on different slots. This forces you to think a little more deeply about your build instead of just putting every damage multiplier you can find on all your items.

  • Offensive: 1H Weapon, 2H Weapon (Power increased by +100%), Gloves, Ring, Amulet (Power increased by +50%)
  • Defensive: Helm, Chest Armor, Pants, Amulet (Power increased by +50%)
  • Resource: Ring
  • Utility: Helm, Chest Armor, Boots, Gloves, Amulet (Power increased by +50%)
  • Mobility: Boots, Amulet (Power increased by +50%)

The Codex of Power always imprints the minimum value and does not display the maximum possible for an Aspect. Certain flat value powers scale either with item power, so the inherent scaler you see on the item will change depending on the item level provided.

Imprinting with the Codex of Power

The main advantage of the Codex of Power is that it's relatively easy to complete a Dungeon or Season Journey Chapter to unlock it versus randomly finding the right item.

You can track and navigate to the dungeon directly in the game! Just open up your Codex of Power in game and click on the Aspect you want to track. Your map will now have a handy line that will lead you straight to the Dungeon containing the power.

Completing a Season Journey Chapter

Each chapter in the Season Journey offers unique rewards, including aspects that are normally only available from drops. These aspects can propel your character forward faster than the Eternal realm, and are an exciting way to level up. You need to complete the objectives in the Season Journey to unlock the chapter's rewards. To see your progress, open the Season Journey by navigating to the Season Tab > Season Journey (Default bound to "u" on keyboard). See the tables below for all Season Journey Aspects.

Codex of Power Aspect Limitations

  1. Not Every Legendary: The Codex of Power doesn't have every single Aspect from each Legendary in the game in it. This means you can only find some Legendaries from drops -- by destroying hordes of the demons of hell over and over again!
  2. Lowest Roll Imprinted: Aspects that are Imprinted from the Codex of Power automatically Imprint the lowest roll possible! For example, if you wanted to Imprint "Thorns damage dealt has a [20-40]% chance to deal damage to all enemies around you.", then it would automatically Imprint 20% chance. That's half the power of a full max roll!
