Sigil powder is an important resource for the endgame of Diablo 4and you’ll need it if you want to run a lot of high-level Nightmare Dungeons.
In this Diablo 4 guide, we teach you how to find Sigil Powder and how to use it to your advantage.
Where to get sigil powder
Before you have to worry about Sigil Powder, you’ll need to unlock higher-level Nightmare Sigil crafting and Nightmare Dungeons.
Once you have the options The Occultist in town you will see a “Salvage Sigils” button in their menu. Click on it and you can dismantle any Nightmare Sigils you don’t want. Doing this will get you some Sigil Powder – the amount is based on how high a level the original Nightmare Sigil was.
As for which Nightmare Sigils you should dismantle, consider the ones with an unwanted one Level level (Sigils that are too high or too low are good candidates) or Affixes that are annoying to your build. If you need more Nightmare Sigils to dismantle, just run some Nightmare Dungeons and you’ll come back to town with more.

Once you have a handful of Sigil Powder, you can select the other Sigil Powder based menu for The Occultist: Craft Sigils.
The Occultist makes Nightmare Sigils in groups of five or ten levels. The first 20 levels are Sacred Nightmare Sigils and are best for World Tier 3 players. Tiers 21-100 are ancestral and ideal for World Tier 4 and endgame players.
The higher the level you want to make, the more expensive it will be. For example, a Tier 1-5 Nightmare Sigil only costs three Sigil Powder, while Tier 91-100 Nightmare Sigils will cost you 450 Sigil Powder per pop.
If you’re wondering if all this is worth it, remember that the amount of Glyph XP – crucial for your Paragon Boards – you earn at the end of each Nightmare Dungeon is based entirely on Tier level.
