Diablo 4: What You Need To Know About Sacred & Ancestral Loot | Season 1 Update

gameranx.com:

Sacred and Ancestral are a new rarity tier in Diablo 4 — unlike Legendary and Unique, any rarity can be Sacred or Ancestral — Sacred or Ancestral gear simply has a huge bonus to the roll affixes. That means Sacred / Ancestral gear is simply better and adds an additional consideration when farming for the best possible gear. Now, you don’t just want a regular piece of loot.

As we’ve played, we’ve learned so much more about Sacred / Ancestral loot, and we’re going to share all the details right here. Some changes are coming to Sacred / Ancestral loot in Season 1 — and what we once thought was impossible is actually very possible.
