In Diablo 2 Resurrected, one of the most important endgame items is arguably Sunder Charm. There are many varieties, and their core function is to remove monster immunities. Although monsters still retain elemental resistances, this is enough to let you take them down swiftly.

Before Season 13, Sunder Charms were relatively common. However, with the official adjustments made during that season, they have become extremely rare, and their value has soared. Let's take a look at what changed and how you can farm them.

Sunder Charm

Sunder Charms have undergone a major rework. There are currently two versions of Sunder Charm in the game:

Latent Sunder Charm

This is the version players were familiar with in the past. It still drops today, but the drop rate has been drastically reduced, making it extremely rare and highly valuable.

Renewed Sunder Charm

This is an enhanced version obtained by upgrading a Latent Sunder Charm through new endgame content. You will need to defeat Uber Colossal Ancients, then craft it using a Sunder Charm along with runes and other materials. Renewed Sunder Charm comes with powerful affixes, making it far stronger than Latent Sunder Charm.

How to Get Sunder Charm?

Magic Find

The drop rate of Sunder Charms is directly tied to your character's Magic Find. Therefore, before you start farming Sunder Charms, the most important thing is to ensure your Magic Find reaches at least 300 points. Even with over 300 MF, you will still need to defeat an average of 150 or more Heralds to obtain one Sunder Charm.

Alternatively, you can take advantage of Souls Dance easter egg to gain 4200 MF. In reality, this is only slightly better than 400–500 MF you can get from gear. The upside is that you can completely skip wearing MF equipment and instead stack pure damage or survival stats to improve farming efficiency.

To optimally farm Heralds, you need to turn the entire game into a Terror Zone. In this situation, the easter egg becomes very useful.

Player Count

Heralds share a drop mechanism similar to that of Council Members - they drop many high-quality items, with a loot table somewhere between normal bosses and Council Members. Player Count not only affects Magic Find but also directly influences the drop rate.

If you want Sunder Charms, a high Player Count is essential. Player Count works somewhat like Torment difficulty in Diablo 4 - it increases monster strength, while elite enemies and unique monsters drop more items.

You don't necessarily need to crank it all the way to Player 8. Prioritize a setting where you can still defeat monsters comfortably, ensuring your farming efficiency remains high.

Area Affixes

Just like maps in Path of Exile, you need to pay attention to area affixes when farming. If Terror Zone has the Extra Strong affix, and you use a Worldstone Shard to turn the entire Act into a Terror Zone, then every monster in that Act gains Extra Strong affix (a 250% damage bonus), making them extremely dangerous. So you'll want to look for affixes that are not crippling - or even harmless - to your build. For example:

• Fire Enchanted / Cold Enchanted / Light Enchanted: Increases global monster resistances; harmless for builds not using that element.
• Spectral Hit: Adds small amounts of fire, cold, and lightning resistance and corresponding damage.
• Extra Fast: Monsters will rush you more quickly, which can improve efficiency - but be cautious in Hardcore mode.
• Stone Skin: Adds 50 physical resistance. Physical builds should avoid this.

Draw the Ire of Herald

To get Sunder Charms, your primary target is Herald. Enter Terror Zone, find and kill elite monsters - this will summon Herald. Elites are usually concentrated near the starting area of Terror Zone. Simply teleport around these areas and kill the elites you encounter.

If a Herald appears quickly in your first Terror Zone and starts hunting you, that game is worth keeping. If not, restart the game, look for a favorable global affix, and repeat the process until you find a game where a Herald is drawn to you early.

Terrorize the Entire Game

Once you've quickly spawned your first Herald in a game with favorable affixes, use Worldstone Shards to turn the whole game into a Terror Zone. Each shard corresponds to one Act; you only need to right-click each shard once, and every Act in the game becomes a Terror Zone. Note: This method might be adjusted in the future, but for now it is the most efficient approach.

Once the entire game is terrorized, Herald's level increases as you keep killing elites, up to a maximum of level five. You must stay in the same game and not exit, because Herald's level scales with the cumulative number of summons within that game. Higher-level Heralds have a greater chance to drop top-tier items - especially Sunder Charms.

Farming Order

Once you have spawned the first Herald (Lv1), prioritize the toughest, highest-damage monsters before reaching a level 5 Herald. Even at level five, monsters in Acts IV and V are stronger than their level 5 counterparts in earlier acts. Additionally, there are two special locations:

• Act II Tal Rasha's Tombs: Contains a large number of elite monsters.
• Act III Flayer Shaman: When a Flayer Shaman is fully spawned, the corpse beneath it generates an additional minion, effectively giving you two drop chances per kill.

The ideal order is to first clear the initial Terror Zone (to quickly spawn the first Herald), then move to Acts IV and V, prioritizing elites in those acts to continue summoning higher-level Heralds. After you have summoned Heralds of Terror, go back to Acts III and II to farm even more Heralds.

Keep in mind that the drop rate for Sunder Charms is very low. You may need to farm hundreds of Heralds in a row to get just one. So don't get impatient while farming, and may luck be on your side throughout the process.

As ESO's first exclusive Event Zone, Night Market is about to launch, bringing veteran players a brand-new, limited-time, high-difficulty PvE experience, along with a wealth of exclusive rewards. Let's take a comprehensive look at how this event works!

Night Market Event Overview

• Event Time: April 29th to June 17th, 2026
• Event Location: An extra-planar city of Fargrave
• Participation Requirements: Free to enter
• Type: The game's first limited-time PvE Event Zone
• Difficulty Level: Targeting veteran players, emphasizing teamwork
• Core Mechanics: Faction Reputation System, Puzzles, Tiered Bosses, and District Boons
• Rewards: Night's Den house for free, furnishing, monster sets, and collectibles
  

How Night Market Work?

Simply put, Night Market is a PvE Zone, but it's very large and requires cooperation. Unlike the game's standard overland zones, Night Market features significantly increased combat difficulty, approaching the level of Trials and Arenas. However, it retains the open-world gameplay structure.

This zone is designed for experienced players. While theoretically supporting solo play, teamwork and mastering boss mechanics are essential for maximizing rewards.

Its core features include: combat difficulty far exceeding that of regular open-world content, a faction-based reputation progression system, progressively increasing boss difficulty, team-based combat mechanics, and a 12-player Opulent Ordeal.

Night Market Entry Method

As an event zone emphasizing cooperative PvE gameplay, joining or following a team significantly improves character survivability and reduces the challenge difficulty. Players can directly access Night Market event area through three methods without additional payment:

• Quest Guide: Pick up the quest “Those Who Would Rule” for free from Crown Store's quest starter and follow the quest instructions to enter;
• Direct Teleport: Use Starlit Plaza Wayshrine or click the exclusive new icon on the Fargrave map to teleport directly;
• NPC Guide: Go to Shambles in eastern Fargrave, find Curator, and enter Night Market's core area through the portal he opens.

Night Market Three Factions Explained

In Night Market, you need to choose a faction, and you will receive faction-specific titles, banners, monster sets, dyes, and cosmetic rewards. There are three factions: The Glittering Goad, The Ruckus, and The Thousand Eyes.

• The Glittering Goad: An elite faction focused on wealth, controlling the vast majority of auctions and shops in Night Market. Power is contested through gold, contracts, and influence; anyone can rise to prominence here if they pay the price. Their Patron is Tachien.
• The Ruckus: A law enforcement faction that rules through force and intimidation, extracting profits from all shops under the guise of providing protection, attempting to regain dominance after their jurisdictions fall into darkness. Their Patron is Kharakhal Moon-Eye.
• The Thousand Eyes: An ancient alliance of neglected lower classes, wielding power through sheer numbers, secrecy, and information gathered in the shadows. Their Patron is Molto the Whisperer.

Faction Favor is divided into four levels: 1000, 2500, 5000, and 10000. Reaching each level unlocks exclusive rewards, and reputation is not consumed. Faction Favor Tracker, displayed in the upper right corner of the screen, shows your faction's reputation progress in real time.

Players can gain reputation by participating in boss battles, completing puzzles, participating in daring races, and completing daily quests. Different gameplay modes offer different reputation rewards; steadily accumulating reputation unlocks higher-tier rewards.

Additionally, after Night Market ends, all factions will receive exclusive banner furnishings, Shoulder rewards, gold, and more. Reward quality is determined by faction reputation ranking:

• First place - Golden quality
• Second place - Purple quality
• Third place - Blue quality

Night Market Area Division and Core Gameplay

Night Market is divided into three themed areas, each with unique danger mechanics and exclusive activities. Higher-tier bosses will only spawn after lower-tier bosses are defeated.

First is The Parch, a barren and arid region where fierce winds carry the bones of the dead, creating a perilous environment. Next is Skittering Precinct, an area overrun by reptiles, with walls riddled with nests. Finally, there's Sorrow's Friend, the dwelling place of malevolent creatures, a dark and oppressive area.

We also need to focus on the core gameplay of Night Market, mainly the various activities and daily quests.

• Challenge tiered bosses such as Brazen, Argent, and Calamit through Boss Hunting.
• Skirmishes are large-scale public combat events specific to each region.
• Daring Races, mentioned above, are timed challenges testing player skill and positioning.
• Oddities are activities for solving environmental puzzles.
• Dungeons are instance challenges exclusive to Gilded bosses.
• The final Trial is the 12-player Opulent Ordeal.

Completing daily quests quickly grants faction reputation and rewards. These are mainly divided into faction daily quests, Dorfifar daily quests, and quests triggered by interactive objects in each region.

Night Market Rewards

Faction Vendor Rewards

Without consuming Favor, reaching the corresponding Favor level allows you to purchase furnishings, curated gear coffers, collectibles, and other rewards from Faction Vendor.

Achievement Rewards and Rare Collectibles

Night Market includes exclusive achievement rewards, as well as Mythic and Antiquities clues. These clues drop in Night Market Zone, excavated in Coldharbour, so there's no need to worry about losing them after the event ends.

Loot Rewards

Night Market loot primarily includes cured armor-set pieces from dungeons and old Daedric themed rewards.

Night Market bosses drop exclusive trophies or busts, new Skill Scrolls, select item sets, and Trade Bars usable in Gold Coast Bazaar.

Ultimate Bonus: Free Night's Den House

Night's Den, located in the heart of Night Market, was once the vault of Night Market elite. Larger spaces are unlocked by completing area achievements, and it's free to acquire simply by completing the introductory quest.

What makes Night's Den House special is that accumulating 3000 Favor unlocks a functional in-house bank. You'll also have a Currency Vault to display your gold.

Additionally, there are three unlockable Wings related to area Relic achievements. If you want to switch faction flags, you can do so here by accumulating 2000 Favor.

While Night Market also supports single-player mode, it's primarily geared towards experienced players who enjoy challenging gameplay mechanics like Trials and Arenas, and is quite difficult. Best of luck in the game!
