Real item crafting is finally coming to Diablo 4. I say "real" because the way you can modify items right now is so simplistic compared to what's on the way in the Lord of Hatred expansion next month. The two developers I spoke to while visiting Blizzard HQ in January convinced me we won't be looking at loot the same way ever again.
Inspired by Diablo 2's crafting, Diablo 4 will get its own version of the Horadric Cube, which is basically the dark fantasy version of a magical crafting table. You put items into it and better items come out. There will also be a list of recipes for crafting items in different ways, like combining three of the same uniques into a new one.
