Trading has been has been one of the most used mechanics in Diablo 4 and many feel that it’s one of the best ways to get a desired item or a large amount of gold without grinding for hours. Here’s how to trade in Diablo 4.

Diablo 4 Season 2 is widely considered the best of the two seasons the game has had so far and the devs are also introducing new additions and fixes to the game with every new patch. Now that the Living Steel issue is also solved, players are back to grinding and leveling up to take on the hardest bosses in D4.

Trading has been quite controversial in Diablo 4 with Blizzard removing the feature temporarily from the game a couple of times. Now that it has been reinstated again, players can take advantage of it and save hundreds of hours of grinding with the right catch.

Here’s how to trade items in Diablo 4.

How to trade items with other players in Diablo 4

To trade in Diablo 4, approach another player, add them to your party, and use the “Invite to Trade” option on the action wheel. This might take a while as many players tend to ignore the in-game chat while playing.

Once you have found the right trading partner, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that they accept your party invite so that both of you can be in the same world.
  2. Once both of you are ready, open your action wheel and click on “Invite to Trade” to start the process.
  3. Once your trading partner accepts the offer, you can put your desired items in the trading window.
  4. Click on “Lock in Offer” once both of you are happy with the choices to finish the trading process.
