News Tag: Diablo 4 Season 7

It’s still a long, long time before Diablo 4 Season 8 arrives. There may be some official events during this period, and you can get a lot of unique items, but the drop rate of special items in this game is a bit too high to be exciting.

Season 7 has been running for a long time, and most players may have reached the highest World Tier. However, Diablo 4’s mid-end game content is not as rich as Path of Exile 2. What can players do?

Monsters

When you create a character, the monsters in the game become an important part of the player’s entertainment. When the player defeats a monster for the first time, you will get gold, XP, and even equipment. When you reach World Tier 4, you need to defeat fierce monsters and get more gold, XP, and better equipment.

It sounds like nothing has changed, but it is true. The level of the monster will rise as the player’s level rises. There is not much difference between the monsters that players hunt from low to high levels.

The changes brought by World Tier 4 are as follows:

• Monsters will be between level 75 and 100.
• Some Ancestral items and Unique items will only drop at this difficulty.
• Legendaries, Uniques, and Mythic Uniques have a higher chance of dropping.
• Experience gained from defeating monsters increased by 250%.
• Monsters drop 20% more Diablo 4 Gold.
• Character resistance to all elements reduced by 50%.

When you successfully reach Tier 4 difficulty, farming monsters is still your best option for leveling up.

Echo Of Lilith

When you reach level 90 and the world reaches Tier 4, you will unlock a quest: Capstone Dungeon: Echo of Hatred. This quest will lead you to the chapel in Nevesk. Here you can summon the most difficult boss in the entire game, Echo of Lilith.

It is recommended that you challenge Echo of Lilith after reaching level 100 and completing most of the bosses challenges. Many of her attacks are deadly. If you are not prepared, a single hit from her may kill your character.

Boss Ladder

The best way to get gear for your character is by fighting bosses. Many core gear for your build is found in boss drops. In Diablo 4, bosses in Boss Ladder require you to collect special items to summon them. These bosses have unique loot lists, and some can only be summoned in World Tier 3 or even World Tier 4.

• Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint: Can only be summoned in World Tier 3 and above, requires Living Steel.
• Echo of Varshan: Can only be summoned in World Tier 3 and above, requires Malignant Heart.
• The Beast in the Ice: Can only be summoned in World Tier 4, requires Distilled Fear.
• Lord Zir: Can only be summoned in World Tier 4, requires Exquisite Blood.
• Echo of Duriel: Can only be summoned in World Tier 4, requires Mucus-Slick Egg and Shard of Agony.
• Andariel: Can only be summoned at World Tier 4, requires Pincushioned Doll and Sandscorched Shackles.

Tormented Echoes

Want to challenge yourself further? Then there are more powerful versions of these summonable bosses. They can appear as Tormented Echoes at level 200. Summoning these bosses requires the above summoning items and Stygian Stone. You can find Stygian Stone in The Pit.

Since these bosses cost more to summon, they will also drop more rewards. All items you get from Tormented Echoes Boss will be item level 925. The first time you defeat Tormented Echoes Boss, it will drop a Resplendent Spark.

Helltides

When you reach Tier 4, Helltides will become more challenging. You will need to face a constant stream of enemies from Hell. Here is some information about Helltides:

• The more monsters you kill, the more dangerous the Helltides will be. You will eventually be besieged by a swarm of demons and a Hellborn.
• Killing Hellborn will drop Baneful Hearts. You can use them to summon Blood Maiden.
• Profane Mindcage Elixir can increase the level of monsters in Helltides. It can be increased to a maximum of 130.

Gauntlet

Gauntlet is a non-linear dungeon, where the distribution of monsters and the dungeon layout will not change during the week. You have eight minutes to complete the dungeon, and the system will give you a score based on your performance.

The highest scorer will receive a Cache of Trials or Cache of Worthy at the end of the week. Players with lower scores can also receive a Cache of the Gauntlet as a reward.

The Pit

The Pit is one of the ultimate challenges in the endgame. You can think of The Pit as a randomized dungeon, which means that the monsters and dungeon layout are different on each floor. It consists of 150 levels, and the difficulty and rewards will vary.

To unlock new levels, players must defeat the boss within 15 minutes. The longer the remaining time after killing the boss, the more levels will be unlocked. If you die in The Pit, the timer will increase by 30 seconds.

Infernal Hordes

This is a special survival challenge. You need to deal with waves of monsters. Finally, the boss is defeated. Each wave has a one-minute battle time. You can collect Burning Aether during the battle. Burning Aether can be used to unlock Spoils of Hell chests, which contain equipment, summoning materials, and gold.

The above is about what you can do in Diablo 4 endgame. There is a lot of content to play actually. But compared with the endgame content of Path of Exile 2, the endgame content of Diablo 4 seems too loose, and I hope this will change in Season 8.

Well, the bad news came suddenly. The launch time of Season 8 was delayed by two weeks. Players may have to wait until the end of April to play. Fortunately, the patch 0.2.0 of Path of Exile 2 will be launched on March 20, and players will have rich content to play again.

How should players spend the days when neither Path of Exile 2 nor Diablo 4 are updated? Why not go and farm the bosses again?

BOSS Classification

The boss battle in Diablo 4 can provide rich rewards. It is also the most reliable way for players to obtain unique items. There are 3 types of bosses in the game:

• Pinnacle Bosses
• Ladder Bosses or Summoned Bosses
• World Bosses

These bosses have different difficulty levels and different rewards. Among them, the only Pinnacle Boss is Echo of Lilith, but she basically does not provide any rewards, just to show your strength.

Pinnacle Bosses: Echo Of Lilith

When your character successfully reaches World Tier 4, you will unlock the fight against Echo of Lilith. The boss fight is located in Echo of Hatred Capstone Dungeon in Nevesk, Fractured Peaks.

Defeating her will earn you a title and a mount. No other unique weapons, materials, or even Diablo 4 Gold are available. This boss fight is very difficult, so you should bring your best gear.

Ladder Bosses Or Summoned Bosses

In Diablo IV, there are a class of bosses that have different difficulty levels, from Torment I to Torment IV. To fight these bosses, you need to prepare their summoning materials. These summoning materials can be obtained from Whisper Caches, Elites, Treasure Goblins, World Bosses, and Hellborne.

Fighting these bosses will drop unique items, and the higher the difficulty, the more items they drop. Each boss has unique drops, and you can check the boss’s loot list in advance to decide which bosses you want to challenge.

Andariel, Maiden Of Anguish

• Summoning Location: Hanged Man’s Hall in eastern Kehjistan.
• Required Items: Pincushioned Dolls and Sandscorched Shackles.

These two items can be collected by defeating The Beast in the Ice and Lord Zir. Andariel and Duriel are the bosses with the highest probability of dropping Mythic Uniques. If you plan to farm Mythic Uniques, these two bosses are your best targets.

The Beast In The Ice

• Summoning Location: In Glacial Fissure. Along the border of Desolate Highlands in Fractured Peaks.
• Required Items: 12 Distilled Fear

You can usually find them as drops from nightmare dungeons or world bosses.

Duriel, King Of Maggots

• Summoning Location: in Kehjistan east of Gea Kul.
• Required Items: 2 Mucus-Slick Eggs and 2 Shard of Agony

These two items can be collected by defeating Grigoire and Varshan.

Echo Of Varshan

• Summoning Location: You can summon it in Malignant Burrow in the northeast corner of The Writhing Mire in Hawezar.
• Required Items: 4 Malignant Hearts

In addition to random drops, you can get additional Malignant Hearts by killing Grotesque Debtors or offering Grim Favors to Tree of Whispers.

Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint

• Summoning Location: in Hall of the Penitent along the eastern edge of Dindai Flats
• Required Items: 12 Living Steel

Can be obtained from Tree of Whispers chests, World Bosses, Elite enemies, Tortured Gift in Helltide, etc.

Lord Zir

• Summoning Location: Fractured Peaks, you can find the summoning location on The Darkened Way on the northern border of Gale Valley.
• Required Items: 12 Exquisite Blood

Exquisite Blood can be obtained by defeating Elite enemies, opening Cache Rewards, or defeating World Bosses.

World Bosses

World Bosses appear every 3.5 hours. When you enter World Boss area, the event will automatically start. You will join a group of players to defeat World Boss.

The battle lasts for 15 minutes. If the player fails to defeat World Boss within 15 minutes, it will flee with Grand Cache!

Grand Cache is the most important reward for World Boss battle. In addition to gold, it also includes Legendary and Unique Items!

World Boss has different stages. Every time the boss enters the next stage, the battlefield has a chance to drop many health potions.

Every week, each Boss will drop a Grand Cache, but only one Grand Cache will be provided. Grand Cache contains a Legendary Item and a Unique Item. The number of rewards obtained by killing World Boss at different difficulties is different.

• Ashava, The Pestilent: Its attacks inflict poison, and other skills cause physical damage.
• Avarice, The Gold Cursed: As its name suggests, defeating it can earn you some Diablo 4 gold. Its attacks are very fierce, mainly causing physical damage, so watch its animations carefully.
• Wandering Death, Death Given Life: Wandering Death mainly causes shadow damage. There will be a short animation before the attack. Pay attention and you can avoid the damage.

The above is a brief introduction to all the bosses in Diablo 4. Find some bosses you have never challenged. Use your different characters to challenge them again, which will bring you some fun. More importantly, after defeating these bosses, picking up the dropped items on the ground is always very stimulating and addictive.

The most exciting event of Diablo IV Season 7 is coming soon. March of the Goblins Event will add 6 new members to Treasure Goblins. Each new goblin carries a rich reward and will wreak havoc in Sanctuary and the huts of various towns. Catch them and claim your rewards!

Date

When you wake up in Sanctuary, you find yourself surrounded by goblins. You check your watch and it is March 4th at 10:00 AM (Pacific Time). That’s right! March of the Goblins event will last for a week! During this week, you can fully hunt these little creatures that people love and hate!

How To Find These Goblins?

During March of the Goblins Event, players have a chance to drop treasure bags when they kill these goblins carrying treasure bags. Think of Treasure Bags as a kind of treasure chest, and you can get some nice loot by opening them.

During the event, the number of Treasure Goblins will increase significantly, and you can find them in every World Tier, across both Eternal and Seasonal Realms, and in Overworld and deepest dungeons.

Finding these goblins is easy, and you just ride your mount outside for a few turns, and you should be able to find these agile goblins in various bushes. Among them, you will find some special Treasure Goblins, which are different in color from Treasure Goblins carrying brown bags. After you kill them, you will find that the rewards you get are also rarer.

Special Treasure Goblins

Each special Treasure Goblins will bring you different rewards. In addition to the regular Diablo 4 Gold and materials, you can even get Legendary items and Mythic Uniques!

Let’s take a look at what’s so special about the new Treasure Goblins.

Odious Ector

This green goblin rummages through workshops all over the world to collect various materials. Therefore, their treasure bags will drop various Crafting Materials after they die. When you find it in Torment tiers, you will receive Obducite.

Gilded Baron

This glittering goblin is the most eye-catching. This greedy goblin has gold stuffed in every crack of his claws. After killing him, his treasure bag will drop a lot of Diablo 4 gold.

Glittering Prym

This goblin glitters like a moving gem. Glittering Prym likes to sneak into abandoned mines to collect Runes and Undercity Tributes. Killing this Goblin will give you all sorts of shiny goodies:

• Gem Fragments
• Runes
• Undercity Tributes
• Scattered Prisms

Curious Murl

Curious Murl wanders around the map with a bag of Obols on his back, which is why he’s colored blue. Killing Curious Murl gives you Murl’s Bag of Obols, which is filled with Murming Obols. That’s pretty cool, isn’t it? At least for a while, you don’t have to worry about lack of Obols.

Gelatinous Syrus

Gelatinous Syrus is a light blue Goblin, and the most cunning Goblin. Gelatinous Syrus will use treacherous means to escape from your hands. When you kill Gelatinous Syrus, it will split into two right before your eyes. Well, killing two Gelatinous Syrus isn’t that hard. Then they split into three right before your eyes.

Oh my god, is this Goblin going to keep splitting? Of course not, you only need to kill the real Gelatinous Syrus to get the reward. Which one is the real Gelatinous Syrus? The answer is the smallest one.

Gelatinous Syrus that players have spent a lot of effort to kill, the rewards are naturally very generous:

• 1 Legendary item (in higher Torment tiers, there is a chance to drop more legendary items)
• Gold
• Boss summoning material
• Elixir (chance to get)

Fancy Old Fedric

Fancy Old Fedric is a pink goblin. It is a legend among goblins! Fancy Old Fedric is very rare. If you encounter Fancy Old Fedric, don’t miss this opportunity, otherwise you will have to listen to others bragging about their experience of hunting Fancy Old Fedric.

Killing this legendary goblin can bring amazing rewards:

• Mythic Unique
• A Resplendent Spark

The above goblins will not disappear after the event ends, and you will still have the opportunity to encounter them. But March of the Goblins Event is when these annoying goblins are most active. If you miss this event, it may be difficult to find them again.

Goblin Slaying Ranks

Cleaning up these goblins that are causing trouble all over the world can improve your reputation and bring you rewards. As you kill. You can also get a Resplendent Spark for completing reputation tasks. At the same time, the more you kill, the higher the probability of each goblin dropping Treasure Bags. Indulge in killing goblins!

Note that when you find these goblins looking around, don’t ride a horse to chase them, otherwise they will teleport away immediately!

March of the Goblins Event is about to start. This is a good opportunity to accumulate materials, equipment, and gold for your character! Remember to log in to your account during the event and look for these goblins of different colors.

Mother’s Blessing event for Diablo 4 season 7 is coming to an end this week. The powerful experience bonuses it brought to players will also be gone. Players who want to level up your alts, you’ll have to seize this opportunity!

Previously, some players discovered a leveling loophole in Diablo 4 Season 7, at least until now, and players can still use this loophole to level up quickly. The loophole is that players can easily level up their alts by farming Whisper Caches and having low-level characters open them. And during Mother’s Blessing event, players can also get Gift of the Tree Caches, which is equivalent to a Greater Collection of Chaos!

Whether you want to level up all classes to level 60 or just want to train a new class, this is your last chance to level them up quickly! You’ll need to send your most powerful characters to complete this task.

How To Level Up With Whisper Caches?

Whisper Caches have the following features that make it possible to level up your alts quickly:

• Whisper Caches drop items and experience that are appropriate to the level and Torment level of the character who farmed and acquired them.
• Whisper Caches drop items for the class of the character who opened it.
• The character who opens Whisper Cache will gain the experience that would have been awarded to the character who farmed it.

That means if you farm Whisper Caches with a Barbarian and put them in a Stash, and then have a level 1 Druid pull them out of Stash and open them, the experience that would have been awarded to Barbarian will be transferred to Druid. Your Druid will level up to level 60 very quickly.

Whisper Caches also give out higher-level items. If your Barbarian is level 60, then Whisper Caches will give out level 60 items that are appropriate for Druids. Perhaps Ancestrals and Uniques items. You also have a chance to get Paragon Glyphs and temper manuals for the class.

If you plan to play this class later, then you should choose Legendary or Ancestral Caches as much as possible, and skip Diablo 4 Gold and Collection Caches. This way you can get Aspects and appearances unique to the class.

If you are just for the achievement and don’t plan to play this class, you can choose to open Gold and Collection Caches and save Ancestral caches for the character you want to play.

How Many Whisper Caches Do You Need To Farm?

Only Gift of the Tree caches collected after Mother’s Embrace event starts can provide experience for your alts. Gift of the Tree caches collected before Mother’s Embrace event starts will only provide equipment. This may become a special mechanism for Mother’s Embrace event. The official does not want players to stock up on Whisper Caches in advance for this event.

During Mother’s Embrace event, each Whisper Cache will contain a Gift of the Tree Cache, so you only need to prepare half as many Whisper Caches as normal.

The amount of experience a Whisper Cache provides to a character depends on Torment level of the location where it was collected. It takes 37,027,000 experience to advance from level 1 to level 60, so the number of Whisper Caches required is as follows:

• T1: Provides 370,270 Xp, 100 Caches required normally, 50 Caches required for events.
• T2: Provides 740,540 Xp, 75 Caches required normally, 38 Caches required for events.
• T3: Provides 1,110,810 Xp, 50 Caches required normally, 25 Caches required for events.
• T4: Provides 1,481,080 Xp, 25 Caches required normally, 13 Caches required for events.

Can The Experience Provided By Whisper Caches Be Increased?

There seems to be no other way to increase the experience gained by Whisper Caches except for farming Whisper Caches at different Torment levels to change the experience in the treasure chest.

• It has nothing to do with world difficulty.
• Potions and incense have no effect.
• There is no difference in the type of chest or the experience provided.

After testing, it is the only number of Whisper Caches required to upgrade a character to level 60. However, you can get almost all the equipment needed for character builds from these Whisper Caches, as well as a large amount of Diablo 4 gold, and this equipment is even better than the equipment you get from normal leveling.

How To Get Whisper Caches?

Whether you plan to use Whisper Caches for leveling or not, the value of Whisper Caches is unquestionable, and it is worth accumulating some.

• Headhunts: You can get 2 to 3 Whisper Caches in each Headhunts area. Completing Whisper in this area will give you 34 Grim Favors.
• Tormented Boss kills: Killing these bosses will give you 5 Grim Favors.
• Blood Maiden kills: In each Helltide, you can get a Whisper Cache.
• Seething Abomination kills: Kill quickly in PVP zone.

That’s how to use Whisper Caches to level up quickly in Diablo 4 Season 7. This method is currently the fastest way to build a build, which can save you a lot of time farming gold and collecting equipment. It will be particularly fast to use this method during Mother’s Blessing event, so you can give it a try.

In the various builds of Diablo 4, players can often see that Aspects play an important role. Legendary Aspects can upgrade rare items to legendary items, bringing powerful enhancements to the player’s character.

In the seventh season of Diablo 4, Necromancer performed very well. Whether it is against bosses or farming Diablo 4 Gold, Necromancer is easy and efficient. And a complete Necromancer build also requires specific Aspects. Here is how to get Necromancer Aspects.

How To Get Aspects?

Legendary Aspects will not fall from the sky. Generally speaking, there are two ways to get Legendary Aspects, one is Codex of Power, and the other is Legendary items.

Codex Of Power

Codex of Power is a collection of Aspects. You can engrave it on your rare or legendary equipment in The Occultist. You can unlock more Legendary Aspects by clearing dungeons.

However, Codex of Power does not include Legendary Aspects available in the game. Some truly unique Aspects can only be obtained through other means.

Legendary Items

Legendary weapons have a chance to drop from demons or farming enemies. Legendary items contain Legendary Aspects, which can then be extracted from Legendary items at The Occultis and placed on other Legendary items.

Aspects Categories

Aspects can provide powerful properties to items, but they cannot be placed on items at will. Each piece of equipment has a specific slot for Aspects, and the bonuses provided by Aspects vary from item to item. Some Aspects can give a character 100% bonus on a two-handed weapon, but only 50% of the effect on an amulet, so players must be careful when choosing Aspects for their equipment.

Here are the categories of Aspects:

• Offensive Aspects: Can be engraved on one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, gloves, rings or amulets.
• Defensive Aspects: Can be engraved on pants, shields, helmets, breastplates and amulets.
• Resource Aspects: Usually can only be engraved on rings.
• Utility Aspects: Similar to Defensive Aspects, can also be engraved on amulets, breastplates, boots, gloves and helmets.
• Mobility Aspects: Can only be engraved on amulets and shoes.

Necromancer Aspects

There are many Aspects suitable for Necromancers. It is worth mentioning that some Aspects are limited to classes. For example, some Aspects say that they are limited to Sorcerer, but they are completely ineffective for Necromancers. You can still use them on your equipment or weapons, but they will not have any effect.

The important way to unlock Aspects is to explore dungeons. When you clear dungeons, you can not only get Diablo 4 Gold and equipment but also have the opportunity to unlock various Aspects. The following introduces Necromancer Aspects that you can unlock in the dungeons of each map. Some of them are limited to Necromancer, while others are available to all classes. In any case, they are all Aspects that Necromancer can use.

• Hulking Aspect: In Sepulcher of the Forsworn, Resource Aspects
• Needleflare Aspect: In Yshari Sanctum, Offensive Aspects
• Torturous Aspect: In Deserted Underpass, Utility Aspects
• Wind Striker Aspect: In Shivta Ruins, Mobility Aspects

The above Aspects are not all Aspects of Necromancer, which could be farmed in these areas. There are also many Legendary Aspects that are not included. Since there are too many dungeons in Diablo 4, players may not have explored all of them. Therefore, when you lack Aspects suitable for Necromancer, you can try to sweep these areas. As the main game content of Diablo 4, exploring dungeons can bring you too many rewards. In the process of farming Aspects, you will naturally accumulate some equipment and gold, which are very useful for your creation of a better Necromancer.

When you’re building a strong build in Diablo 4, you’ll probably want Uniques, which are gear with a lot of interesting passive affixes that can provide some very helpful buffs to your build, such as improving your survivability or combat ability.

Usually, some Uniques can only play a major role in specific builds, but there are also some Uniques that are suitable for multiple Class builds because of their universal power and high flexibility. Ugly Bastard Helm is one of them.

While this helmet is suitable for most builds, it has a huge buff to Berserking’s damage ability, so it will be more suitable for your Barbarian, especially if you are preparing to enter the endgame stage of Diablo 4, it will make your entire build have unstoppable damage ability.

Given the power of Ugly Bastard Helm, you may need to get the specific affixes and unique effects of this helmet from this guide, as well as the effective methods of farming this unique, so that you can make an optimal Barbarian build as soon as possible.

About Ugly Bastard Helm

First, let’s take a look at the specific effectiveness of this helmet. When you use it in a non-Barbarian build, you can only get a 10%-85% increase in fire resistance. Although this will give you a certain increase in your defensive capabilities, it is not worth spending a lot of Diablo 4 Gold and energy for a non-Barbarian build to get a piece of gear with fire resistance, so it is not recommended here.

But if you put this helmet in a Barbarian build, in addition to this fire resistance, your Aggressive Resistance will also increase by 1-3 levels to enhance the defensive capabilities of Barbarian build, which is already very solid.

Not only that, although Ugly Bastard Helm is a defensive gear, your Prolific Fury will also increase by 2-5 points, and your Wrath of the Berserker skill cooldown will be reduced by 8%-12.5%, which will greatly enhance your damage ability and help you clear enemies faster.

With the help of this Unique, the lack of damage in Barbarian build that was previously criticized by Diablo 4 players has been improved to a certain extent in Season 7. On top of that, if you use Lucky Hit in combat, you will have a 40% chance to deal 605-6,750 points of increased fire damage, which is something that users of this class could not imagine before.

Although many gear exclusive to the Barbarian build in this season will provide it with strong fire damage buffs, the buffs it provides are directly applied to the original skills such as Prolific Fury or Wrath of the Berserker, so its buff value will be directly reflected in your combat and metadata.

In contrast, Crown of Lucion provides a very small bonus, as there are few builds that can fully match it to take advantage of it. In addition, Tuskhelm of Joritz the Mighty and Godslayer Crown, although they can be used by many builds, the clearing speed bonus they provide is relatively small, so they are not suitable for use in the endgame.

How To Farm Ugly Bastard Helm?

While Ugly Bastard Helm is a Unique that will drop from any fight you have in Torment 1, this Legendary Unique Item is most commonly dropped from some endgame boss encounters, Kurast Undercity, The Pit, Purveyor of Curiosities, and Infernal Hordes.

Of these, Purveyor of Curiosities and endgame boss encounters allow you to target this Ugly Bastard Helm for farming, because you can do targeted farming by looking at the loot list of the bosses or gambling for Caps at Purveyor of Curiosities.

Unfortunately, Purveyor of Curiosities has been nerfed in the current season, so the best way to target this Unique effectively is to challenge Lord Zir in different Torment Tiers, which requires you to use some Diablo 4 Items to summon it.

In the current season, Lord Zir can be summoned in Ancient’s Seat dungeon at any Torment difficulty, located in Darkened Way in Fractured Peaks. You need to have collected enough Exquisite Blood by completing Legion Events or defeating World Bosses, Helltide Blood Maiden, or Treasure Goblins.

Each summoning of Lord Zir costs you 12 Exquisite Blood, so you need to get as many materials as possible from the above events so that you can quickly challenge Lord Zir at higher difficulties, which will increase the drop rate of Ugly Bastard Helm.

Once you have collected all Exquisite Blood, you can place it in Bloodied Altar at a different Torment difficulty to complete the summoning of this boss. During the battle, you should stand in the corner as much as possible and prioritize killing the minions summoned by the boss, to ensure your own safety in order to obtain the final loot and Diablo 4 Gold.

The above is the working principle and farming method of Ugly Bastard Helm, which is very important for Barbarian builds in Diablo 4 Season 7. I hope that you can use the more effective farming methods introduced in this guide to get this extremely useful gear into your Barbarian build quickly. I wish you a happy game!

Gold is almost the most common currency you can get in Diablo 4. You can find it everywhere in Sanctuary, and many players can even get a small bag of gold from the moment they start the game. Therefore, many players who have just entered the game may wonder, since gold is so common, why do we need to worry about our gold inventory being exhausted?

In fact, on the one hand, although there are many ways to get gold, there are only a few ways to earn a lot of gold coins. On the other hand, as we slowly enter the end stage of the game and continue to improve our equipment and builds, we often go bankrupt because of two activities, namely, using Masterworking at Blacksmith to increase the value of the existing affixes of the item, and enchanting equipment at Occultist. Many players are even willing to spend a billion Diablo 4 Gold to keep trying, just to find the perfect affix combination for an item. This is simply a gambler!

But why do you need such perfect equipment in Diablo 4? In fact, the answer is simple. Only by upgrading your build to the highest level can you start The Pit advancement more efficiently. The Pit is where every little detail or improvement counts, and if you want to go as high as possible in The Pit, or even take a place in Diablo 4 world rankings and become famous, you will need near-perfect gear and character builds.

With that said, where can you get D4 gold in a short time? In this guide, we will cover the best activities or methods to get gold in Diablo 4 Season 7.

Farming Headhunt Zones

Recently, we tracked the most popular farming activities in Diablo 4, and believe it or not, the top one was Headhunt Zones and completing Whispers as quickly as possible.

To farm Headhunt Zones efficiently, you basically need to jump from one zone to another, and when you get 2 Tree of Whispers Caches in one zone, it means you need to visit the next zone.

The reason why this method is so good is that all Tree of Whispers Caches will drop another Cache called Gifts of the Tree in it, which has a lot of gold.

Through Whispers Caches, the gear that can be sold, and the gold found in these areas, we managed to collect 128 million gold in 30 minutes. The best thing is that entering these areas is free, so this is undoubtedly the best method for us.

Grinding Tormented Bosses

The remaining two methods of farming gold can be said to be a tie, between doing Infernal Hordes and farming Tormented Bosses and selling all Ancestral Unique items you don’t need. So, which one should you do?

If you have enough boss summoning materials, then your first choice is definitely farming bosses. In this test, when we farmed top bosses such as Andariel and Duriel, they both gave us more than 30 million gold in 8 to 12 minutes.

Of course, on top of that, Ancestral Unique items they drop are also quite valuable. However, please note that not all Ancestral Uniques have the same selling value. For example, if we spent the same amount of time farming Grigoire or Beast in the Ice, we would have earned only half as much as we did on Duriel.

However, Echo of Varshan was a pleasant surprise, among the mini-bosses, Varshan was the only one that required the least materials to summon. So, with only 115 Malignant Hearts, we killed her 28 times, which brought us a staggering 49 million gold in just 12 minutes!

What’s more, the cool thing about Varshan is that the rotation rate is very fast, and once you kill her, you can summon her again almost immediately. This means that among all Tormented Bosses, Varshan is the best farming option. So start grinding those Malignant Hearts in Helltides and Headhunt Zones now.

Running Infernal Hordes

Finally, we will take a look at Infernal Hordes. Honestly, running Infernal Hordes is a bit like gambling, because you need a little luck to get the best Infernal Offerings and collect as many Burning Aethers as possible.

On top of that, you need a good fast farming build that can kill enemies as fast as possible while dealing with the constant onslaught of demons coming at you. If you manage to get a build that can do that, you’ll get around 30 million gold per 10 wave runs, maybe even more.

During this test, we used Blood Wave Necromancer endgame build, which is not meant for these types of farming activities, so you will definitely do much better than what we did.

In this case, our best result was getting 1267 Aether and 42 million gold, even after spending 200 Aether in Spoils of Greater Equipment. But we were very lucky, and we got almost all Hellborne Offerings. Other than that, we averaged around 750 to 800 Aether per 10 wave runs.

Another good thing worth mentioning is that if you’re lucky, you can even find some Mythic Uniques. So if you have Infernal Hordes Keys and want to take a break from Headhunt Zones or farming Tormented Bosses, go try them because they are a great way to get gold quickly.

In addition to these methods, we have also tried farming Helltides, Undercity, Nightmare Dungeons, but can only say that the gains obtained from these methods are nothing compared to the above three. Anyway, these are the 3 most efficient gold farming methods that we think are worth trying at the moment, and we hope this helps you. If you have a better method, don’t forget to share it with us! Good luck!

In order to improve the situation in which the new class Spiritborn was too strong in the DLC and the sixth season, thus destroying the game class balance, Diablo 4 launched exclusive unique items for other classes in the latest Season 7, and weakened Spiritborn appropriately to ensure your new season game experience.

Among them, as a classic class, Necromancer has obtained two unique pants, namely Kessime’s Legacy and Indira’s Memory. If you are playing Necromancer, these two items can help you enhance your skills, thereby expanding the possibility of using your builds and better facing Diablo 4 Season 7 endgame content.

Based on this, we will introduce you to the acquisition methods of these two unique pants and their specific functions.

Kessime’s Legacy Unique Pants

The pants can be used to enhance the ultimate skill Blood Wave of Necromancer, and at the same time create key equipment for you. Specifically, Kessime’s Legacy allows Blood Wave to generate two waves that move towards you, thereby gathering enemies and dealing more concentrated damage to them, increasing the efficiency of harvesting Diablo 4 Gold with Blood Wave.

In addition to its exclusive unique effects, the pants also have powerful blooded properties, such as being able to increase the chance of Blood Wave causing double damage.

Attributes And Effects

In terms of unique attributes, Kessime’s Legacy has the following effects, and it is worth mentioning that the first two attributes are only applicable to Necromancer:

• When casting Blood Wave, your maximum health is increased by [55.0–85.0]%
• Blood Wave has a chance to deal double damage by [21.0–35.0]%
• Ultimate damage increased by [155.0–300.0]%
• Damage reduced by [1.0–20.0]% when enhanced
• Blood Wave cooldown reduced by [16.0–25.0]%

As for the skill enhancement effect caused by Blood Wave, it will form a wave on both sides of you after the skill is activated, and then the two waves will converge at your feet, pulling all nearby enemies into this range and causing powerful damage through the explosion.

How To Get It?

Although this item can be dropped from almost any game activity when you reach level 60. However, it is better to focus on farming Lord Zir or gambling at Purveyor of Curiousities.

It is worth noting that in order to farm Kessime’s Legacy by fighting Lord Zir, you need to summon this boss first, and to do this you need to consume some Exquisite Blood at the altar of The Darkened Way. Exquisite Blood can be obtained from Blood Maiden in Helltides, and The Darkened Way is located in Gale Valley region of Fractured Peaks.

How To Use This Item?

The best use of Kessime’s Legacy is in conjunction with Shadow Blood Wave Build. In fact, this build also relies heavily on Kessime’s Legacy. Without this item, Shadow Blood Wave will no longer exist. Kessime’s Legacy allows this build to output excellent AOE damage, but it will have difficulties when facing special bosses.

Indira’s Memory Unique Pants

Compared to Kessime’s Legacy’s focus on Blood Wave, Indira’s Memory is more versatile, as it can focus on Bone Spear or Blood Wave at the same time, and can even be used with the best endgame build of this class. It is worth noting that in order to increase the efficiency of farming this item. It is recommended to team up with friends and share materials.

Attributes And Effects

As a unique pants that can well blend the blood and bone abilities of Necromancer, Indira’s Memory has the following attributes:

• Super damage + [77.5-115.0]%
• Maximum health + [16.0-25.0]%
• Damage reduction when injured [16.0-30.0]%
• Tides of Blood + [2-3]

Of course, these bonuses only apply to Necromancers. After fusion, you can also treat Blood Wave as a bone skill. It will create a bone prison at its endpoint and increase the damage of your Blood Skills when cast for 8 seconds.

Bone Spear can also be a Blood Skill allowing you to consume 10% of the enemy’s maximum health each time you hit an enemy, consuming nearby corpses to launch new Bone Spears from them.

How To Get Indira’s Memory?

The two best ways to get Indira’s Memory are the same as getting Kessime’s Legacy, except that the boss that needs to be farmed has become Beast In The Ice. It should be noted that the amount of items dropped after each kill depends on your current world level, so it is best to spawn this boss at the highest level, and to increase your speed in battle, you can fight against it by forming a team.

However, to summon Beast In The Ice before the battle successfully, you need to be at least level 60 and beat the campaign, and then farm Distilled Fear in the nightmare dungeon. After that, go to Glacial Fissure in the south of Kyovoshad in Fractured Peaks and consume Distilled Fear to summon this boss. In addition, Distilled Fear may also appear in Helltides and Tree of Whispers besides nightmare dungeons.

What Build Is This Item Suitable For?

Without a doubt, Necromancer builds centered on Bone Spear and Blood Wave are best paired with Indira’s Memory, and the best build among them is Bone Spear Endgame Necromancer Build. As a solid A-tier build, it performs better than most Necromancer builds in the late game. After obtaining Indira’s Memory and Bone Duster, you can make this build deal tremendous damage to the enemy by stacking suppression.

The above is all the relevant information about these two unique pants. If you are a Necromancer fan, it is recommended that you get them as early as possible so that your endgame phase can go more smoothly!

Hello Wanderers, are you looking for the best way to collect Gem Fragments in Diablo 4 Season 7 to have more chances to craft Grand Gems and Occult Gems to optimize your character? If yes, then it’s time for this guide to come into play. Here, we will show you the fastest way to farm Whisper Caches to take your gameplay to the next level!

Why Should You Collect Whisper Caches?

First, we will dive into the most efficient way to collect Whisper Caches. In fact, when collecting Whisper Caches, you are also collecting Gem Fragments. In essence, you are collecting multiple valuable resources at the same time! These include Boss Summoning Materials, Legendary Gear, Greater Affixes Gear, Tributes, Uniques, Gold, Crafting Materials, Scattered Prisms, Runes, Restless Rot, XP, and more.

Additionally, Whisper Caches can be used to upgrade another character to level 60 in less than 1 minute, making it an extremely efficient resource for gear and upgrades as well!

Remember that Runes are only available if you have Vessel of Hatred expansion. But don’t worry, if you don’t have the expansion yet, you can still make the most of these farming strategies!

Preparation

Before you start running Whispers Bounties, it’s best to prepare in advance to maximize your efficiency. Therefore, I recommend equipping boots, amulets, or any gear that increases your movement speed, the higher the better, which will help you reduce your travel time and allow you to reach your goals more efficiently.

If you don’t have any gear that increases movement speed, you can use Citadel Coins to get Elixir of Tailwind from Dark Citadel Vendor, which will increase your movement speed by 15%, helping you farm faster.

Be sure to bring some Incense and Elixir to increase your XP and bonus stats, especially if you haven’t reached Paragon Level 300 yet. Since you’ll be leveling up while farming, this will help you progress faster.

Don’t forget, it’s a good idea to keep some Whispering Keys in your inventory, as you’ll come across many Silent Chests in Headhunt Zones. These chests require a Whispering Key to open, which you can redeem from Purveyor of Curiosities for 10 Murmuring Obols each. Having a key on hand will save you from constantly teleporting back to town when you find Silent Chests. These chests may contain valuable loot, including Diablo 4 Gold, Legendary gear, Gem Fragments, and more.

Complete Whispers Bounties

To get Whisper Caches, you need to complete Whispers Bounties and collect 10 Grim Favors. There are tons of Bounties scattered throughout Sanctuary, but one of the best places to collect them is in Headhunt Zones, where you can easily get over 20 Grim Favors simply by completing Bounties in that area.

However, not all Whispers Bounties are worth running, some take a long time to complete, and some offer fewer Grim Favors, making them inefficient. In order to maximize your rewards in the shortest possible time, you’ll want to focus on the most efficient Bounties that offer the highest return on investment.

For Headhunts, 1 Red, 6 Light Red, and 6 Pink Bounties are spawned per zone, with 3 Headhunt Zones total, each with a different start time and lasting 40 minutes.

Red Bounties reward 5 Grim Favors upon completion. Light Red Bounties reward 3 Grim Favors each. Pink Bounties only offer 1 Grim Favors and are generally not worth running because of the low return on time investment.

However, Slay Bounty is an exception, and it only requires you to defeat 2 Thralls of Rot to complete. These enemies are represented by red skull icons on your mini-map, and you’ll naturally encounter them while completing other Bounties, making this a quick and easy Bounty.

For Light Red Bounties, you should ignore Wisps and Patrol as they take longer to complete, but if you notice another player is about to complete a Wisps Bounty, you can jump in at the last minute so you can get free Grim Favors without much effort.

Scour Bounties, on the other hand, are fairly easy, you just need to collect 7 Herbs in Headhunts and then find a Scouring Cauldron to defeat Elite and complete the quest. To speed up the process, I highly recommend hiring Subo as your mercenary, as he can reveal all enemies and materials in the area, making it easier to find them quickly.

To optimize efficiency, tackle this Scour Bounty while performing other Bounties to save time.

You can efficiently complete three Light Red Bounties: Harvest, Purge the Rot, and Shepherd, and one Red Bounty, Fugitive, which rewards 5 Grim Favors, in a brief time.

Always start with Shepherd, and while completing Shepherd, you will naturally complete both Harvest and Purge the Rot at the same time. Once Shepherd is completed, Exposed Roots will appear nearby. Interacting with them may trigger an Uprooted Cocoon, spawning a Headless Husk or Fugitive Head, and even if not, they will drop valuable loot, including Gem Fragments, and even spawn Treasure Goblins.

Almost everything you kill in Headhunt Zones has a chance to drop Gem Fragments, and even Silent Chests can contain them. This is why it’s important to keep some Whispering Keys in your inventory at all times.

If an Uprooted Cocoon appears, quickly eliminate the boss before completing the remaining bounties. Alternatively, you can also join an Uprooted Cocoon summoned by another player to complete the bounty faster. You can complete all of these bounties in under 10 minutes, earning 20 or more Grim Favors per run. This means you can claim one or two Whisper Caches per run.

Bonus Tips

After completing a zone’s quests, head to another zone and repeat the process until you’ve collected enough Whisper Caches and Gem Fragments. Always start with the zone with the least time remaining to complete as many bounties as possible. Then, head to the other two zones and complete their quests before the bounties reset.

During your collection, prioritize picking up valuable loot, focusing on Legendary, Unique, and Greater Affixes gear. If you already have enough materials and gold, you can even skip picking up excess Legendary gear to reduce the need to return to town as often. This will help you minimize downtime, maximize efficiency, and farm longer without unnecessary interruptions.

Also, always have your Whisper Caches open at a vendor near town so you can quickly sell, salvage, or store your loot. This keeps your inventory organized and prevents clutter, ensuring you can be ready for your next farm without delay.

If you complete these bounties at lightning speed before the three Headhunt Zones reset, you can use the downtime to tackle noteworthy Red Bounties outside of Headhunts, including: World Bosses, Uber Bosses, Blood Maiden, Seething Abomination, Kurast Undercity, The Pit and Dungeons. These activities only take a few minutes to complete, making them a great way to maximize efficiency while waiting for Headhunts to reset.

Collecting Whisper Caches efficiently is one of the best ways to stockpile Gem Fragments, Greater Affixes Gear, Legendary Items, Gold, and Crafting Materials while also earning a ton of XP. By optimizing bounties within Headhunt Zones, you can complete all high-value bounties in under 10 minutes and earn 20+ Grim Favors per mission.

That’s all for this Whisper Caches collecting guide! By following these strategies, you can collect efficiently, maximize your loot, and power up your character faster. Happy hunting!

As we all know, Obducite is one of the important materials you need when entering Diablo 4 Season 7 endgame, they can help you quickly upgrade your equipment in order to clear higher Pits or simply dominate Torment 4 and do your favorite grinding activities. Whatever the reason, we all need it, and accumulating a lot of Obducite quickly is the goal of almost every player!

As you know, there are 3 sources to get Obducite in Diablo 4. The first and most popular is of course Nightmare Dungeons, then Infernal Hordes, and last but not least is Kurast Undercity using Tribute of Refinement. But which one is the fastest way to get as much Obducite as possible in the shortest time? Here, we will try to answer this question.

Nightmare Dungeons

First of all, as you know, Nightmare Dungeons have always been one of the best sources of Obducite in Diablo 4, and this is also true in Season 7. But did you know that not all Nightmare Dungeons are the same?

It turns out that the amount of XP and Obducite you can get is based on the ranking of Nightmare Dungeon, which depends on the size, layout, and monster density of the dungeon. Therefore, some Nightmare Dungeons are better for you to farm materials than others. However, this ranking changes from season to season, so we will introduce 8 so-called S-tier Nightmare Dungeons in Season 7 that are your best choice for Obducite.

For the ranking of these dungeons, we followed two important factors. The first is based on how fast you can clear the dungeon, for this we assume that 3 minutes is the best time for you to clear Nightmare Dungeons, and the other influencing factor is based on the amount of Obducite you can get.

Of course, we know that there are many factors that can change the results, but please note that here we exclude the results of encountering Butcher or finding multiple Goblins, so Obducite you can actually get is definitely more considerable than we expect.

In the final list of Nightmare Dungeons, you can see that the 8 most suitable dungeons for farming are: 

• Ancient’s Lament
• Sarat’s Lair
• Deserted Underpass
• Mariner’s Refuge
• Uldur’s Cave
• Sirocco Caverns
• Forsaken Quarry
• Caldera Gate

The good thing about these 8 dungeons is that their layouts are very simple, which means that they either have only one layer like Uldur’s Cave, Forsaken Quarry, Mariner’s Refuge, Sarat’s Lair, and Ancient’s Lament, or if there are 2 layers, the layout feels like walking a straight line, allowing you to clear the dungeon very quickly, just like Deserted Underpass, Sirocco Caverns or Caldera Gate dungeons.

The most important thing is that the density of monsters in these dungeons is very high, some of these dungeons are what we call spider-themed dungeons, you know when you kill a spider more spiders will spawn, so these dungeons are the best. Not only can you collect more Obducite from them, but you also have the opportunity to make a good profit of Diablo 4 Gold by group clearing a lot of mobs, killing two birds with one stone!

In addition to these, we also found Feeding Grounds, Light’s Watch, and Blind Burrows. The problem with Feeding Grounds and Light’s Watch is that they are both large dungeons, unless you have an excellent fast farming build, it will take you a long time to clear them, and you don’t get much Obducite from these dungeons compared to other dungeons.

Blind Burrows is another spider dungeon, very similar to Sarat’s Lair, but Sarat’s Lair is better because it is completed faster. So, if you can choose, it is recommended that you always choose Sarat’s Lair or any other dungeon first.

So, taking into account the time it takes to clear a dungeon, teleport back to town, and the loading times, you can earn up to 1,500 Obducite every 4-5 minutes if you farm these dungeons as quickly as possible. That means on average you can run about 12 dungeons per hour and get a total of 18,000 Obducite.

The problem here, though, is that these Dungeon Keys are random drops, and even if you can craft them, that can affect your farming efficiency.

Infernal Hordes

The second method brings us to our beloved Infernal Hordes. Obducite has been given an enormous boost this season, with Hellborne option appearing more often than ever before. This is great because even if you have a really bad speed farming build like Blood Wave Necromancer, you should still get 800 to 900 Burning Aether every 10 waves, for an average of 4,500 Obducite per run.

I think better builds should be able to get around 1200 Aether on average, since they will be completing Infernal Hordes in a shorter time. This means that in one hour you should get between 17,000 and 20,000 Obducite. If we compare this amount to the 18,000, you can get in Nightmare Dungeon, you can almost say they are about the same.

Kurast Undercity

We come to the last contender, which is Kurast Undercity with Tribute of Refinement. As you know, Kurast Undercity just appeared last season, and you can get Mythic Uniques, materials, and Obducite from it, depending on the type of Tribute you use.

To get Obducite, you need Tribute of Refinement, and according to our data, these Tributes are currently the best source for Obducite. In 30 minutes, we did a total of 8 dungeon runs and got a whopping 16,000 Obducite. Note that these runs took place at Torment level 4, but we are not sure if Torment level makes a difference in Obducite drops.

As you can see, our farming method was to ignore all enemies and activate Beacons, and if for some reason we didn’t reach the highest level in the last part, we killed some enemies, just to make sure we always had maximum coordination.

Once again, the build we used was not optimized for fast clearing, so you also got that amount of Obducite with your build. This means that if you use a fast farming build, in 1 hour you can easily get even close to 30,000 Obducite! Ridiculous!

However, there is a minor problem, and that is finding Tribute. You need to complete Dark Citadel, get Tree of Whispers caches, or you can always do Infernal Hordes and exchange the remaining Aether for Obducite, Gem Fragments, and you will definitely get 1 Tribute of Refinement.

That’s it! Finally, please tell us which method is better for you? Do you have a scavenging build that helps you farm Obducite faster? Do you have any other better farming tips to share? See you next time!
