Enable Advanced Tooltips in Diablo 4 and Get More Info on Item Rolls and Stats

Advanced Tooltips are an optional toggle that expands the game’s gear menus to include more information on your items’ rolls and stats. They help you identify which of your items have good rolls and how they compare to items you’ve got equipped.

Turning on Advanced Tooltips

To turn on Advanced Tooltips, enter the pause menu and select the “options” button. From there, navigate to the “Gameplay” tab and scroll down until you see two boxes that read “Advanced Tooltip Compare” and “Advanced Tooltip Information.” The first option enables a more advanced view of information when comparing two items. The latter expands upon item information more. We recommend turning on both options.

Advanced Tooltip Compare

Advanced Tooltip Compare lets you see what you’re gaining and losing when you switch to a new item. It reminds you of what you’re losing so you don’t overlook it. For example, if a legendary gives you plus ranks to a certain skill and you’re switching to another one with lower stats or adds points to an irrelevant skill. It may be best to not switch to that item in your inventory.

Advanced Tooltip Information

Advanced Tooltip Information adds bracketed information to all affixes and aspects found on an item. The new, bracketed information found in item descriptions shows the range at which each of the perks can drop. So, for example, if you see a perk with an 1.7% Cooldown Reduction, followed by “[1.5-2.3]%” that means that you rolled an 1.7% Cooldown Reduction, but the total possible range for this perk is 1.5-2.3%. With this information, we now know that our 1.7% roll is average and can start hunting for a roll with a higher percentage, with a 2.3% roll being the best possible outcome. This will positively enhance your Diablo 4 Gameplay.
