Frequently Asked Questions
Can Inferno be sold?
Yes, but it's usually not the best use. The forge value of Inferno far exceeds its sell price. Save it for crafting unless you have a large surplus.
Does Inferno stack with other traits?
Trait effects are independent. Burn activates alongside any other traits that hit their 30% threshold. Multi-trait recipes are exactly how top-tier builds work.
