How to Respec In Diablo 4

Learn how to respec your skills in Diablo IV. Discover the costs, methods for refunding all or specific abilities, and why you'll want to change your build often.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Diablo IV and wondering about changing up your character's skills? It's totally normal to want to tweak your build as you go, especially with all the new stuff you unlock. Let's break down how to respec your skills.

Are Respecs Free?

You might be wondering if changing your skills costs anything. Well, at the very beginning, up until you hit level seven, it's actually free! But after that, you'll start spending a bit of gold each time you refund a skill point. As you get to higher levels, this can start to add up, so keep that in mind.

Where to Respec

There are two main ways to respec your character: you can either refund all your skill points at once, or just refund a single, specific skill. To do either of these, you'll need to head over to the Abilities menu. You get there by opening your Character menu and then selecting the Abilities tab.

Once you're in the Abilities menu, you can press the Square / X button to 'Refund All'. This will take back every skill point you've spent so far, and it'll cost you a small amount of gold. Just remember, the more points you've invested, the more expensive this 'Refund All' option becomes.

If you're only looking to change up one particular skill, it's much cheaper. Just hover over the specific ability you want to refund, and then hold down the Square / X button. This will give you that single skill point back without costing nearly as much gold as refunding everything.

Why to Respec

Honestly, you'll probably find yourself respeccing pretty often in Diablo IV, and that's totally okay! The game is designed so that you'll constantly be unlocking new skills, discovering powerful Aspects that change how your abilities work, and gaining access to new Specializations as you level up. Plus, as you push through the game and unlock new World Tiers (think of them as difficulties), you might need to adjust your build to handle the tougher challenges. And don't even get me started on PvP – your entire build might need a complete overhaul to be competitive there!
