Diablo 4’s world is full of danger and opportunity, and having the right gear can completely change how you experience the game. One highly coveted piece many players strive to get is the Shroud of False Death—a chest armor that not only offers huge stat boosts but also a unique stealth effect that can save your life in a pinch.

But this powerful item isn’t just stumbled upon in the wild. To craft the Shroud of False Death, you’ll need to gather some rare materials and meet certain progression requirements Diablo 4 Items.

First, the Shroud of False Death crafting is tied to the Vessel of Hatred expansion. This means you must own the DLC and complete the main story quest called Fundament of Faith to unlock rune collection and crafting capabilities. Without this step, you simply can’t get the runes you need for the recipe.

Once the quest is done, head to the Jeweler NPC in any major town. There, you will see the option to craft the Shroud of False Death, but only if you have all the materials: 2 Resplendent Sparks, 6 Bac Runes, 6 Kry Runes, 6 Moni Runes, and 5,000 gold.

Finding Resplendent Sparks is a challenge. They drop from seasonal first-time achievements like defeating Tormented Uber Bosses or Echo of Lilith, and can also be salvaged from Mythic Unique weapons or earned as rewards from special events. On the other hand, the Bac, Kry, and Moni runes are all gathered through intense combat runs like first-time clears of strongholds, Kurast Undercity runs (especially with Tribute of Harmony to guarantee rune drops), and bosses or elite enemies within Vessel of Hatred’s campaign.

If you’ve been farming gear and pushing difficulty levels, you probably have some runes already, but crafting new ones at the Jeweler helps you get exactly what you need.

It’s important to note that you cannot buy or loot the Shroud of False Death from enemies; crafting is the only way. So be prepared for a grind, as rune farming can be tough, but the payoff is an incredibly potent armor piece that can change your build’s survivability and playstyle Diablo 4 gold.
