So you’ve looked up a build guide online, and alas, it’s full of unique items. Thankfully, it’s easier to address your endgame build woes now. Diablo 4 has improved its trading system in Season 4 or the Loot Reborn update. It’s just that trading in Diablo 4 is still a little unrefined. Moreover, the game doesn’t exactly walk you through the process. So I’ll be doing that. Here’s how to trade in Diablo 4 without friction.
How Does Trading Work in Diablo 4 Season 4? Explained
To find an item for sale or to sell one, you can either look in the in-game Trade Chat, in social media like Discord, FB groups, or other forums, or on third-party websites like Diablo.trade.
Once you’ve already found an item or a person you want to trade with in-game, follow this step-by-step process for trading.
- If you’re not in-game friends with the person you’re trading with, ask for their Battle Tag and add them in-game by opening the Social Menu and selecting ‘Add Friend.’ Copy and paste or type in your trading partner’s Battle Tag.
- Wait for the other party to accept the friend request. Once they have, invite them to a party through the in-game friend list or wait for their party invite.
- Go to your trading partner’s location as shown on the map (blue diamond icon) or wait for them to come to you. Ideally, trade in a safe area or a large city like Kyovashad.
- Approach your trading partner and open the action wheel by clicking on their character. Select “Invite to Trade.”
- In the trading window, place the items or the gold that both of you have agreed upon.
- Select “lock in offer.”
- Select “accept trade.”
It’s up to you whether you want to thank them, unfriend them afterward, or whatever course of action you want to do. I recommend politeness and honesty, of course.
What Can You Trade?
As for which items you can trade in Diablo 4 Season 4, here’s a list or table below. Do note that this can change in future seasons.
There might also be times when the developers might pause or freeze in-game trading to address security or stability issues.

| Rare items (which haven’t been modified or upgraded) |

Sadly, you can’t trade aspects, but you can trade items with aspects on them and then salvage them afterward to obtain the aspect. Feel free to discuss which items I might have missed on the list, as more might be added in future seasons.
