The Essence Transfer in Diablo Immortal is a way to extract a legendary passive ability from one item and place it on another. All you’re able to keep is that one passive ability that you liked. So, is it a good idea to sacrifice a legendary item to get its ability?
In short, the answer isyes—always go after the best item, and do the Essence Transfer. Yourgoal is to always have the best equipmentwith the bestOffense Rating Defense Rating (ORDR), so there’s no point in hoarding.

How to start the Essence Transfer process?
Now that you’ve learned that hoarding doesn’t make sense, you just have to know how to use Essence Transfer in Diablo Immortal. The process has two steps:
To go through an extraction process, you’ll need to have that item in your inventory, not equipped. If you have your first piece of gear to sacrifice for the greater good,go to the marketinRakkis Plazain Westmarch. Near Rakkis Plaza Waypoint, you’ll findZamina.

To do business with her, you’ll have to findlegendary gearthat has the passive ability to extract. And that’s not all—you’ll also need anotherlegendary item that will inherit passive abilityfrom the previous item. Don’t worry aboutgemson the first item; you can always transfer them to another item, free of charge.
What happens with the original item after Extraction Transfer?
The Essence Transfer process will delete the first item, but the second item will inherit its ability. As you can’t have two passive legendary abilities on one thing, you’ll lose your previous passive ability while gaining a new one. It’s a good tradeoff if you’ve foundlegendary gear with better ORDR. So, don’t do the Essence Transfer until you find some better equipment.
