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.

Mythic Uniques 3.0: Don't Waste Your Sparks

Season 14's Mythic system changed everything. Learn what NOT to spend Sparks on — then scan your gear at statverdict.com to find craft-ready bases.

If you've logged into Season 14 — Season of Death Awakening — and felt lost the second you opened the Horadric Cube, you're not alone. Patch 3.1.0 didn't just tweak the Mythic system; it rebuilt it from the ground up. Mythic Uniques work completely differently now, and if you're still hoarding Sparks like it's last season, you're probably about to waste them. Let's break down what actually changed, where the traps are, and how to spend your resources like someone who read the patch notes.

Mythic Is Now a Quality, Not a Rarity

Here's the single biggest mental shift for Season 14: Mythic is no longer its own drop tier. You will not see a Mythic Unique tumble out of a Pandemonium Rupture. Instead, Mythic is now a quality upgrade you apply to a base Unique through the Horadric Cube.

The recipe is simple on paper. Take any Unique at 850+ Item Power, feed it into the Cube along with the required fragments, and the output is a Mythic version of that same item — locked to the same gear slot. A Mythic-crafted helm stays a helm; a two-hander stays a two-hander. There's no gambling on slot, no random rarity roll. You choose the base, you get the Mythic.

This matters because it means your existing gear is your Mythic pipeline. That 850 IP Unique sitting in your stash isn't just an item — it's a potential Mythic waiting on fragments. Before you assume something isn't good enough, scan a screenshot of it at statverdict.com and we'll confirm whether it clears the 850 IP threshold and is actually worth converting.

Why Buying Uniques with Sparks Just to Mythic-Craft Is a Trap

Sparks are precious. And the temptation in Season 14 is obvious: spend a Spark at the vendor to guarantee a specific Unique, then immediately convert it to Mythic. Clean, right?

Usually, no. Here's why this backfires:

Spark-purchased Uniques often drop below 850 IP. The vendor guarantees the item, not the item power. If it lands at 800 or 825, it's ineligible for the Mythic recipe until you find a way to bump it — and that's more time and resources burned on top of the Spark you already spent.
Fragment cost is real. The Upgrade-to-Mythic recipe eats a meaningful pile of crafting fragments per conversion. Stacking a Spark plus a full fragment cost onto a single item makes it one of the most expensive things you can do all season. Do it for the wrong base and you've torched two resource types at once.
Sparks are better spent on the base you can't farm. If a Unique drops readily from your build's target activity, buying it with a Spark is pure waste. Save Sparks for the rare, build-defining pieces that refuse to drop.

The move is to farm your base Uniques naturally through Pandemonium Ruptures and Realmwalker kills, wait for one to roll 850+, then convert. Let the world hand you the base. Save the Spark for genuine bad luck.

The Rule Everyone Forgets: You Can't Mythic a Mythic

This one has already burned a lot of players in the first week. Mythic Uniques cannot be used as input for the Upgrade-to-Mythic recipe. Only base Uniques qualify.

Why does this trip people up? Because Season 14 also introduced enchanting on Uniques and Mythic Uniques — and on Mythics, any enchanted affix is max-rolled. That's a huge deal. It means you want your Mythic to be your final, permanent piece. Once it's Mythic, it's the end of the line for that recipe. You'll enchant and refine it from there, but you'll never feed it back into the Cube for another upgrade.

Practical takeaway: get the base right before you convert. Since all Uniques now drop with 2 guaranteed affixes, you have more control than ever over your starting point. Check the Greater Affixes, check the IP, and only then commit. Not sure if a base is worth locking in? Drop the screenshot into statverdict.com for an instant S/A/B/C/D verdict before you make it permanent.

Which Uniques Actually Deserve the Spark + Fragment Investment

Not every Unique is worth Mythic-crafting, let alone Spark-buying. Reserve your heavy investment for pieces that are genuinely build-defining and hard to replace. A few categories worth the cost in Season 14:

Build-cornerstone Uniques with a mandatory unique effect. If your entire build routes damage through a single item's special power, that's your Mythic candidate — the max-rolled enchant slot pushes it way over any Ancestral alternative.
Slots where you have no strong Legendary competition. Rings and amulets are prime targets when your build wants specific affixes you can't reliably roll elsewhere.
Weapons for high-multiplier builds. The IP and affix ceiling on a Mythic two-hander or dual-wield setup translates directly into damage. If the weapon is your biggest DPS lever, it's usually the best fragment-per-power return.

What's not worth it: filler Uniques you're only wearing for a single affix you could hit on a well-rolled Rare with a Greater Affix. Speaking of which — don't salvage Magic or Rare items that carry Greater Affixes. Those are Horadric Cube crafting candidates and can outperform a mediocre Unique in the right slot. Keep them.

The honest answer for "is this one worth it?" depends on your class, your build, and the exact roll in front of you. That's exactly the call StatVerdict is built to make — scan the item and get a straight grade instead of guessing.

The Bottom Line

Season 14 turned Mythic Uniques into a crafting decision, not a lottery win. Mythic is a quality you apply to an 850+ base — so let the world feed you bases, save Sparks for the pieces you truly can't farm, and never forget that a Mythic can't be re-upgraded. Get the base right the first time, because with max-rolled enchants on Mythics, that first choice is permanent.

Before you burn a single Spark or fragment this season, scan your gear at statverdict.com — we'll tell you if your Unique is at 850+ IP and actually worth converting to Mythic. Craft smart, and save the sparks for the drops that matter.
