If you made a mistake in Diablo 4 or just want your character to spark instead of sizzle, the good news is that you can refund your skill points. There’s not much of a penalty to it unless you do it somewhat late in the game, but at that point, you’re not going to be a newbie anymore. In any case, here’s how you refund skill points in Diablo 4, step-by-step.

- Confirm or exit to cancel your changes.
For Controllers
- Open the Inventory (Start on the controller).
- Press RB / R1 to go to the Skill Tree.

Refunding Skills Cost Gold
Do be aware that refunding skills in Diablo 4 costs Gold. The Gold cost also depends on your level. Naturally, higher levels mean refunding skill points will cost more so you need to be careful when allocating and refunding them.
At Level 100, it can cost around 2.6 million Gold to fully respec your character. That’s a total of 58 Skill Points to be refunded depending on your level or the side quests and activities you’ve finished.
As such, I recommend you try to respec or refund your skill points while you haven’t reached the max level yet because it’s going to get more expensive later on.
