How To Fix “This Item Cannot Have Aspects Imprinted On It” On Diablo 4 ?
1. Wait And Try After A While
Many users from the forum stated that the issue was fixed automatically when they tried imprinting after some time.
So go to the game and do other things around the town, or do some activities outside, try a different town, looking over the dungeons for some time.
Then come back and try imprinting the aspect to the desired Item again and it will work eventually.
Still cannot imprint? Then Move forward to the Next Step.
2. Free Up The Space In The Sockets
Sometimes you will get the Imprinted error if the Item is socketed to its maximum amount and there is no space to add a new item.
Look into your socket and see if any item exceeds its limit since each Item has its limit based on its quality and type.
For example, you can remove extra gems from equipment and free up sockets using a free service provided by jeweller.
Now go to Occultist and try to extract and imprint the aspects into the Item. If it doesn’t work, follow the next step to check your quality of aspect and the Item.
3. Match The Quality Of Aspects And The Item
Even though there is no restriction with the power, sometimes lower item power Aspects cannot be imprinted onto higher item power Rare items.
Even Aspects extracted from regular items (from World Tiers 1 or 2) cannot be imprinted upon Sacred (World Tier 3) or Ancestral (World Tier 4) items.
So make sure that the aspects should be extracted from the rare or level1 Item when you want to imprint it on another rare or level 1 item.
4. Match The Item And Aspects
Please remember that some aspects imprinted on one item type cannot be imprinted on the other.
That is if the aspect imprinted on the ring may not be imprinted on the other items like helms, chest and amulet.
See the Aspects categories and Items matches below:
- Defensive: Shield, Helm, Chest, Pants, Amulet.
- Offensive: Amulet, Weapon, Gloves, Ring.
- Resource: Helm, Amulet, Ring.
- Utility: Shield, Helm, Chest, Amulet, Gloves, Ring.
- Mobility: Amulet, Boot.
5. Earn More Gold
Many users from the forum has reported that If you have the 3x more gold of than that of required, you can do the imprinting without any issue.
For Example, if imprinting costs 30k, you should have 90k gold in your account.
Alternatively, another observation says you need to have the amount of gold it would cost for a codex aspect.
For Example, if you have 140k gold and the codex needs 240k, you need 240k to get your imprint done.
Don’t worry. It will only cost you 140k, and your remaining gold is safe.
I hope, This article helped you to resolve the error and finally get your Item imprinted successfully.
