How to Use the Tuning Stones in Diablo 4?
In the latest Season of the Construct, Wanderers will be able to wield the power of the Loom and acquire their very own Seneschal Companion. As you progress through the seasonal questline, Zoltun will provide you with your Seneschal Construct that you can augment to best suit various Diablo 4 Builds during the season.
This is where Tuning Stones will come into play. Once players have acquired their Seneschal Construct, they can use magical Governing and Tuning Stones recovered from the Vaults and throughout the Sanctuary, to customize their Seneschal Construct. The Governing Stones will determine the type of attacks they perform while Tuning Stones will provide additional buffs to those skills, as well as provide utility. These effects can be Defensive, Offensive, or Functional/Utility.
Players can equip their Seneschal Construct with a total of 2 Governing Stones and 6 Tuning Stones. These Stones can also be upgraded to unleash their potential fully.
How to level up Tuning Stones
To level up Governing and Tuning Stones in Diablo 4 Season 3, you need to collect duplicates found on the ground. Each duplicate grants experience to advance to the next rank. Both stone types have 10 levels, except for the two Unique Stones, which have only one level. Access the Seneschal Construct page in your character's inventory to view and upgrade them.
You can obtain these stones in Season 3 through drops from Heralds of Malphas in Arcane Tremors, drops from Wardwoven Chests at the end of Vaults, and drops from the Malphas boss fight in the Vault of the Loom.
