What is Stat Verdict?

Stat Verdict is a free AI-powered loot analysis tool built for Diablo IV players. Upload a screenshot of any in-game item and get an instant, detailed evaluation — including a grade, build-specific recommendations, and whether you should keep, salvage, or craft the item.

How does the Diablo IV loot analyzer work?

Upload a screenshot of an item tooltip from Diablo IV. The AI reads the image, identifies every stat, affix, and property on the item, then evaluates it against your selected class and build. The result is a letter grade (S through D), a verdict (Keep, Salvage, or Craft), and a detailed breakdown of why.

Is Stat Verdict free to use?

Yes — Stat Verdict is completely free to use. No account required, no subscriptions. Just open the scanner and start analyzing your items.

Are there any usage limits?

To ensure service availability for everyone, there is a reasonable daily scan limit per user that resets every 24 hours. This limit is generous enough for typical gameplay sessions.

Yes. Item screenshots are sent to our secure server for AI processing and are not stored after analysis. Scan history, loadout data, and preferences are all kept locally in your browser — we never have access to them.

Will Stat Verdict support other ARPG games?

Yes! Stat Verdict is focused on making Diablo IV analysis perfect first, but plans to expand to other ARPGs like Path of Exile 2, Last Epoch, Diablo III, and more based on community demand.

Craft or Wait? D4 Mythic Crafting Math After Patch 3.1.1

Is now the time to craft your first Mythic? We break down the 4-Fragment math and Spark traps — verify your base Unique at StatVerdict.

Patch 3.1.1 quietly reshaped the Mythic economy, and half the players I talk to are still running on Season 13 muscle memory. The short version: crafting your first Mythic Unique is more achievable than ever, but the math around when to pull the trigger has real traps. Burn resources wrong and you'll set yourself back a week of farming. Let's break down the actual numbers so you can decide: craft now, or wait?

The New 4-Fragment Cost — And What It Really Takes to Farm

Post-3.1.1, crafting a Mythic Unique in the Horadric Cube costs 4 Resplendent Fragments plus your qualifying base Unique. That's down from the old inflated cost, which is why everyone's suddenly asking about it. But "cheaper" doesn't mean "free," so let's talk income.

Fragment drops are gated behind Torment tier, and Season 14's Pandemonium Ruptures are your best source. Closing portal tears and defeating Realmwalkers is where the bulk of your Fragments come from. Rough realistic income per hour of focused Rupture farming:

Torment 1: ~0.5–0.75 Fragments/hour — expect a 6–8 hour grind per Mythic.
Torment 2: ~1 Fragment/hour — roughly a 4-hour session per craft.
Torment 3: ~1.5 Fragments/hour — under 3 hours if you're efficient.
Torment 4: ~2+ Fragments/hour — a Mythic every focused evening.

The takeaway: if you're stuck in T1–T2, a Mythic is a genuine multi-session investment. Don't treat it casually. If you've pushed into T3–T4, Fragments flow fast enough that crafting becomes a routine decision rather than a milestone. Know your realistic income before you commit those 4 Fragments to a slot you're not sure about.

Do NOT Burn Resplendent Sparks on the Current System

This is the mistake I keep seeing, and it's an expensive one. Resplendent Sparks are not part of the 3.1.1 Mythic crafting recipe — the Horadric Cube path uses Fragments and a base Unique, full stop. Sparks remain your currency for the targeted Mythic vendor route, which is a completely separate, far pricier acquisition method.

Here's the trap: some players see "Mythic" in both systems and assume they should be dumping Sparks to speed things up. Don't. With the Cube costing only 4 Fragments, spending your hard-earned Sparks to shortcut a Mythic you could craft in an evening's farming is throwing away one of the game's scarcest resources.

Hold your Sparks for the specific chase Mythics that rarely drop naturally and that your build absolutely cannot function without. For everything else, the Fragment route is the correct play. Sparks are precious; the current Mythic crafting system does not need them, so stop feeding them into it.

The 850+ IP Requirement (And Why Mythics Can't Be Recycled)

The Cube recipe has two hard gates people overlook:

Your base Unique must be 850+ Item Power. Below that, it simply won't qualify as input.
The output is always the same gear slot as your input. A helm Unique makes a helm Mythic — no slot conversion.

Both of these matter more than they sound. First, low-IP Uniques you've been hoarding since early leveling are useless as crafting material — you need current, high-tier drops. Second, and this catches people constantly: you cannot use a Mythic Unique as input. Once an item becomes Mythic, it's locked out of the recipe. So you can't chain-craft or "upgrade" one Mythic into another. Every Mythic craft consumes a fresh, qualifying regular Unique.

This is exactly where a quick verification saves you a wasted craft. Before you drop 4 Fragments, scan your candidate Unique at statverdict.com to confirm it's 850+ IP and actually the right slot for your build. Screenshot it, get an instant grade and verdict, and make sure you're not about to Mythic-ify the wrong piece. It takes ten seconds and it's free — cheaper than a re-farm.

One more note under Season 14 rules: since all Uniques now drop with 2 guaranteed affixes, and enchanting works on Mythics with added affixes max-rolling, the quality of your base input feeds directly into a stronger final product. A well-rolled base Unique with the right two affixes gives you a Mythic you'll actually keep. Verify the roll first.

Who Should Craft Now vs. Stockpile Fragments

Not every slot deserves a Mythic today. Here's how I'd split it.

Craft now if it's a build-defining slot

If a Mythic transforms how your build functions — not just a marginal stat bump — craft it the moment you have a qualifying base. Examples:

Damage-multiplier or mechanic-enabling Mythics (weapon and chest slots for most builds) that gate your whole rotation.
Slots where you're currently running a bad filler item and a Mythic is a straight upgrade with headroom to enchant.
Any slot where the max-rolled enchant affix on a Mythic pushes you past a breakpoint your build needs.

These are power spikes you feel immediately. Four Fragments for a build-defining piece is one of the best deals in the game right now.

Stockpile Fragments if the upgrade is marginal

Hold off if:

You already have a solid, well-rolled Unique in that slot and the Mythic is a single-digit-percent improvement.
You're still tuning your build and aren't 100% sure the slot's affixes are locked in — crafting the wrong direction wastes the craft.
You're farming in T1–T2, where Fragments are slow. Save them for the one slot that matters most rather than spreading thin.

Fragments don't spoil. Banking them until you're confident about a slot is almost always better than an impulsive craft into a piece you'll replace next week. And remember — salvaging is the silent killer here. Magic and Rare items with Greater Affixes are Horadric Cube crafting candidates; never salvage those. When you're sorting a haul and unsure what's a keeper, run it through StatVerdict before you hit the salvage button.

The Bottom Line

Patch 3.1.1 made Mythic crafting cheap enough to feel routine — 4 Fragments and a qualifying 850+ IP Unique of the same slot. Keep your Resplendent Sparks out of it entirely; they're for the separate chase route. Craft immediately for build-defining slots, stockpile Fragments for marginal ones, and never forget that Mythics can't be recycled as input. Before you commit, verify your base: scan your candidate Unique at statverdict.com to confirm the IP, the slot, and the roll — then craft with confidence.
