News Tag: Diablo 4 Gold

The new Paladin class in Diablo 4 Season 11 offers a completely different experience compared to other classes, mainly due to its wider range of skill upgrades, thus providing more possibilities.

This has resulted in numerous Paladin builds, many of which have performed exceptionally well in Season 11, with most Paladin builds ranking in Tier S.

Tier S

Judgement Paladin

Judgement Paladin is currently the best Paladin endgame build. It excels in leveling, farming, boss fights, and The Pit.

The player community has also discovered new playstyle variations of this build, focusing on keeping the conviction effect of Judgement on enemies until it expires, then triggering an explosion for massive damage. This aims to maximize single-hit damage.

For fast farming Diablo 4 gold or leveling, Arbiter of Justice skill can be used to efficiently apply Judgement to a large number of enemies. Judgement effects will then passively clear the entire screen of enemies, making it highly efficient.

Wing Strikes Paladin

Wing Strikes Paladin is a speed-farming build in endgame characterized by fast movement and relaxation. It relies entirely on Arbiter of Justice and uses Falling Star for movement.

Wing Strikes skills automatically trigger when you move and blink, often killing enemies as you rush towards them, somewhat similar to Evade Spiritborn build.

Fist Of The Heavens Paladin

This is a relatively new build, and not many players may have tried it yet. It requires Argent Veil unique ring, which allows you to randomly trigger core skills while dodging.

You also need to convert Spear of the Heavens into a core skill through Fist of the Heavens skill, thus synergizing with Argent Veil. Combined with Arbiter Disciple, it achieves a near-permanent Arbiter state. As long as you use Evade while in Arbiter state, Fist of the Heavens will be automatically released to clear all monsters.

Blessed Hammer Paladin

Blessed Hammer Paladin possesses immense AoE clearing capabilities. It also combines Argent Veil and Evade, casting Blast Hammer through Evade.

Its core feature is that the released hammer rotates around the character for a long time, dealing damage to any enemies it touches. Furthermore, when you use Falling Star to jump into a new monster group, you don't need to immediately recast the hammer, as the previous hammer is still rotating and dealing damage. While its farming speed may not be as fast as Fist of the Heavens Paladin, it is much safer.

Shield Of Retribution Paladin

Shield of Retribution Paladin is a build based on Thorns damage reflection mechanism. Your Shield of Retribution moves slowly, transferring thorn damage to enemies within range. It's relatively slow and not the easiest to control, but it's safe and reliable in the endgame.

Brandish Paladin

Brandish Paladin is a Supplication-dependent build. It allows Brandish to fire in all directions, greatly increasing its range. Returning Light allows Brandish attacks to return to the character after being fired, making this combination sufficient to harvest most monsters.

Shield Bash Paladin

Shield Bash Paladin has two variations. You can use the common Argent Veil and Evade combo to manually cast Shield Bash for automatic farming.

If you want to challenge The Pit, you need to replace the shield with Gate of the Red Daw. Its effect is that when your Juggernaut core skill hits an enemy for the first time, it stores the damage in Fortress, up to 10 stacks.

When you cast Fortress again, all stored damage is unleashed at once within the fortress's area of effect, dealing devastating damage.

Advance Paladin

Advance Paladin is a build that relies on the basic skill, Advance. It transforms the basic skill Advance into the Juggernaut skill using Wave Dash, and then builds a damage rotation around the generation and consumption of Resolve.

Auradin Paladin

Auradin Paladin is an AFK build that many players enjoy using. You simply stand still, and Holy Light Aura automatically eliminates all enemies.

This requires the unique Dawnfire gloves, which allow Holy Light Aura to passively burn enemies, and the damage increases with each enemy that dies. It can even be used to AFK complete Infernal Hordes; you only need to occasionally come back and click it.

Tier A

Divine Lance Paladin

Divine Lance Paladin has a strong ability to clear monsters. You need to transform the original Discrete skill, Divine Lance, into a Zealot skill through the skill tree.

After the transformation, it can generate Fervor stacks. Utilize Aspect of Jacques' Fervor and Aspect of the Zealot's Covenant to increase its damage. If you want to experience Zealot playstyle, it's a good choice.

Zeal Paladin

Zeal Paladin is a pure Zealot skill build. It has a fast attack speed and a direct feel. Its core skill is Zealot's Zeal Frenzy. It synergizes with all Zealot Aspects that increase Fervor stacks, attack speed, critical hit chance, and critical hit damage.

Shield Charge Paladin

Unlike the evade concept of Shield Bash, Shield Charge Paladin build requires you to hold down the skill button to continuously charge.

Shield Charge can be upgraded through Relentless Charge, turning it into a Core skill. It has an initial Faith cost and continuously consumes Faith while the button is held down.

The gameplay involves simply holding down Shield Charge, smashing your way through hordes of monsters, and destroying everything in your path. While the damage isn't top-tier, the gameplay is incredibly fun.

Blessed Shield Paladin

Blessed Shield Paladin is the weakest of all Paladin builds, but still ranks in Tier A. It also uses Arbiter, Argent Veil, and Evade combination to automatically trigger Blessed Shield.

However, there's a difference compared to Blessed Hammer Paladin build. Blessed Hammer can be upgraded to a Disciple skill, perfectly enjoying the massive bonuses of Arbiter and Disciple combination. Blessed Shield lacks this conversion option, preventing it from gaining the same benefits from Arbiter system, thus lagging behind in strength.

These are the rankings of the mainstream Paladin builds for Season 11. Almost all Paladin builds are strong this season, even the Tier A builds are worth trying.

Diablo 4 Season 11 has just begun, and its first event, Goblins Greetings, is coming soon. This festive version of March of the Goblins event will last approximately two weeks.

This event will offer very generous rewards. Whether you need to level up, collect materials and equipment, don't let the ubiquitous goblins escape your grasp.

Date

Goblins Greetings will run from December 18, 2025 to January 6, a duration well over two weeks. and it is one of the longest-running events in Diablo series history.

Event Objectives

During the event, goblins will appear in various areas of the world, dungeons, and more. Players simply need to kill goblins to upgrade their March of the Goblin reputation board. The higher your reputation, the better the rewards contained in the loot bags carried by the goblins you encounter. You might even encounter goblins carrying mythic items!

Each time you unlock a reputation rank, you can claim a reward chest at Goblin Square in Kyovashad. The final rank can be completed repeatedly, rewarding a generous loot bag. The first completion will grant an additional Resplendent Spark! Note that all rewards must be claimed before the event ends on January 6th, or they will disappear.

Tree Of Whispers

During Goblins Greetings event, returning Grim Favors at Tree of Whispers will drop a Gift of the Tree cache in addition to the regular chests. Opening it guarantees a Collection of Chaos, containing very rich rewards.

How To Effectively Utilize This Event?

Accumulate Whisper Caches

You need to find and complete as many grim favors as possible in Sanctuary. After accumulating enough grim favors, you can obtain chest rewards from Tree of Whispers.

However, remember not to open these accumulated whisper caches before the event starts. Opening these chests after the event begins will grant an extra Collection of Chaos, which will reward you with XP, Diablo 4 gold, and materials.

You can prioritize grim favors quests related to Lair Boss, as you'll only need to defeat the boss to earn 5 grim favors. Challenging the boss doesn't require a key; only opening Lair Boss chests does. If you don't have a key, you can skip opening chests and focus on leveling up the boss.

Fast Leveling

You can store accumulated whisper caches in your stash. After creating a new character, use these chests with that new character to instantly level up from level 1 to 60 using the XP provided by the Collection of Chaos. This is currently the best way to level up alts instead of the nerfed Pits and Hell Tides.

Defeating bosses earns points quickly, without needing to open chests. You can also follow Legion events to obtain Forgotten Souls.

Nightmare Dungeon Sigils

If you want to hunt more goblins, focus on saving these three Nightmare Dungeon Sigils:

• Treasure Breach Nightmare Sigils
• Prankster Nightmare Sigils
• Herodrick Strong Rooms Nightmare Sigils

These Nightmare Dungeon Sigils correspond to dungeons with a large number of goblins. Prankster Nightmare Sigils is also the only Mythic Nightmare Dungeon in Season 11, potentially spawning Mythic Prankster goblin. The goblin spawn rate in these dungeons will be further increased during the event, making the rewards very high.

How To Get Nightmare Dungeon Sigils?

The most common way to obtain Nightmare Dungeon Sigils is to use whisper caches. If you accumulate some caches beforehand, you won't lack Sigils at the start of the event.

You can also craft Sigils at Occultist and then filter for Sigils with the affixes you want. Then, salvage all unwanted Sigils into Sigil powder to repeatedly craft them until you get the target Sigil.

Defeating World Bosses and opening their chests also yields a large amount of Sigils. Combined with Essence of Sin from Divine Gifts, World Bosses will drop even more rewards. If placed in a purified slot, the reward bonus from Essence of Sin will be doubled.

However, note that there's a bug: the fight with Azmodan might activate PvP, causing players to be attacked by other mercenaries. Removing it from the corrupted slot will prevent character death but won't affect obtaining activity keys, and only Lair boss keys will be lost.

Materials

This event is also a great opportunity to quickly acquire crafting materials such as Obducite. Both Sanctification system and Masterworking consume large amounts of gold and various materials, so you can use this event to prepare for future equipment forging.

Additional Event Benefits

The developers are very generous this time, as Goblins Greetings event isn't the only benefit. During the event, the in-game store will offer free gifts daily.

• December 18: Tackle of the First Snows (Mount Trophy)
• December 19: Fallow-ward (Mount Trophy)
• December 20: Crook of First Snow (Mount Armor)

These rewards won't be automatically distributed; you need to manually claim them from the store. They will disappear after January 6th, so don't forget them in the store - claim them as soon as you log in!

While Diablo 4 Season was initially controversial, the developers' various changes ultimately made Season 11 meet player expectations. Goblins Greetings event is a great opportunity at the start of season 11 to acquire a large amount of materials and equipment and quickly level up your character, making this season much easier, so don't miss it.

In Diablo 4, besides upgrading characters and Paragon Board, another crucial way to enhance a character's overall capabilities is by continuously acquiring better gear and upgrading it.

To ensure your gear always has room to improve throughout the season, Diablo 4 introduced several gear upgrade mechanisms, primarily Tempering and Masterworking.

However, these two mechanisms have long been criticized for their excessive randomness, meaning that even consuming a large amount of upgrade materials may not yield the desired gear benefits.

To address this, Diablo 4 plans to radically change these two mechanisms starting with Season 11 and add a new Sanctification mechanism, further raising the room for gear upgrades.

We will now introduce these changes based on their performance in 2.5.0 PTR and analyze whether this overhaul is necessary.

What Is Masterworking?

This is an endgame crafting mechanic in Diablo 4. You need to farm gold and available materials beforehand and then craft them at the blacksmith to upgrade your gear's affixes by 8-12 levels.

It's generally not recommended to Masterworking items below level 750, as they are easily replaceable, and Masterworking them wastes materials.

Furthermore, Diablo 4 items between 750 and 800 can have their affixes upgraded by eight levels, and those above 800 can be upgraded by 12 levels. Therefore, the rarer and higher the level of your gear, the greater the value increase after Masterworking it.

However, this valuable mechanic has a tricky aspect: every four levels, only one random affix receives a 25% upgrade. This means that if you're unlucky, you might end up with useless affixes applied in three such upgrades.

While you can reset Masterworking by salvaging the gear, you only get a portion of the crafting materials back, not including gold, which is undoubtedly a waste of your resources.

What Changes Will Season 11 Bring?

To avoid potential waste from random upgrades, starting with Season 11, Masterworking will no longer boost gear affix effects, but will directly increase the gear's base stats.

Based on this, each Masterworking will randomly increase the gear's stats by 2-5 levels, up to a maximum of 20 levels. After that, you can perform one last Masterworking to obtain the ultimate affix bonus.

This ultimate bonus will upgrade a random non-high-level affix on the gear to Greater Affix. This upgrade result is changeable and will not affect the gear's existing Masterworking bonuses.

What Is Tempering?

This mechanism is more widely applicable than Masterworking. You can add relevant affixes to your gear by finding Tempering Manuals during your exploration. Furthermore, Tempering only requires materials, not gold.

The randomness of this mechanism lies in the fact that the affixes included in each Tempering Manual appear randomly. You might perform multiple Tempering runs but still fail to obtain your desired affix.

If you don't intend to waste time and materials gambling and think that obtaining an affix is ​​enough to "make do," you're mistaken, because a meaningless affix will actually lower the value of your gear.

Changes In Season 11

After the update, when Tempering your gear in Season 11, you can directly specify the affixes you want each time using the recipe in Tempering Manual, eliminating the frustration of randomness!

However, to balance this, a gear can now only have one Tempering affix instead of the previous maximum of three. But honestly, getting the best one faster is always better than endless gambling, isn't it?

What Is Sanctification?

This system, added in Season 11, allows your gear to continue to improve after Tempering and Masterworking! Once sanctification is complete, the gear is permanently "finished" and cannot be modified further.

The benefits of sanctification are random; they might include gaining a Sanctification affix or new powers, or even making your gear's durability never deplete. Regardless, they are well worth the investment.

How Are These Changes Reviewed?

While the performance and experience on PTR may not fully represent Season 11, it's sufficient to evaluate these new mechanics.

With the reduced randomness of the benefits from Tempering and Masterworking, you'll notice a subtle decrease in the amount of materials dropped, such as Obducite.

This is understandable, as the reduced or eliminated randomness means a lower chance of needing to reset Tempering and Masterworking results, while the materials required to complete the upgrade haven't increased.

Therefore, from this perspective, these changes allow the updated Tempering and Masterworking mechanics to function better, preventing imbalances.

Furthermore, Season 11 will allow you to craft some Tempering materials yourself. For example, Veiled Crystals and Forgotten Souls.

As for Sanctification system, because its buffs are random and the gear cannot be changed after completion, player opinions are mixed. After all, if you randomly get a useless Sanctification affix, you can't even reset it.

However, before 2.5.0 PTR ended, according to the player community and other statistics, the percentage of unlucky players was not large; most people could obtain the desired buffs through Sanctification.

Therefore, after Season 11 goes live, if these gear upgrade mechanisms in PTR don't undergo significant changes, you will be able to upgrade your gear and even your entire build more efficiently, resulting in a better season experience.

Season 11 is expected to officially launch on Tuesday, December 9th. At that time, you will be able to personally verify whether these new mechanisms will bring positive effects! Let's look forward to it!

Diablo 4 Season 11 introduces several new Capstone Dungeons. These dungeons return as key challenges, serving as the path to higher difficulty levels and unlocking rewards through the new Season Rank system.

Unlike previous dungeons, these Capstone Dungeons no longer have fixed levels or difficulties, but instead possess unique mechanics and themes. Now, players must complete an ultimate dungeon to advance their Season Rank. Therefore, it's easy to imagine these new dungeons becoming a hub for leveling in the new season.

Here, we'll examine how these returning Capstone Dungeons work in Season 11 and how they affect player leveling.

Capstone Dungeons Explained

As mentioned before, you won't be able to advance to the next rank in your seasonal journey until you complete the required Capstone Dungeons. This slows down leveling, forcing players to complete these dungeons to continue their seasonal journey and become stronger.

Capstone Dungeons unlock important mechanics, such as The Pits or The Tower, which allow for rapid leveling.

There are a total of 5 Capstone Dungeons in Diablo 4 Season 11:

• Torrid Menagerie: Level 30 | Difficulty Tier: Hard
• Hellish Descent: Level 50 | Difficulty Tier: Penitent
• Unseen Awakening: Level 60 (Pit Tier 15) | Difficulty Tier: Torment 1
• Tempest Oasis: Level 60 (Pit Tier 30) | Difficulty Tier: Torment 2
• Sins of the Many: Level 60 (Pit Tier 45) | Difficulty Tier: Torment 3

The first two are the most important because they unlock The Pits, allowing you to unlock Torment difficulty levels. The last three dungeons represent challenges at Torment 1-3 difficulty levels. Since Season Journey has been changed to Season Rank, you now only gain full skill points and paragon points by completing the objectives for each rank. Therefore, you need to complete all five dungeons. Each Capstone Dungeon guards the next dungeon; for example, you need to clear Torrid Menagerie before you can see and complete the next dungeon, Hellish Descent.

Next, let's take a closer look at the two Capstone Dungeons that unlock Torment difficulty. They are the foundation for experiencing higher difficulties, and it's recommended that you focus on conquering them early in the game. Of course, if you are confident in your abilities, you can try the ultimate dungeon before reaching the recommended difficulty level, but this will also bring higher risks.

Torrid Menagerie

The first is Torrid Menagerie, a dungeon with three levels.

The first level looks similar to any other dungeon you've completed before, except that there will be volcanic eruptions. In addition, you need to kill elite monsters to collect Animus. After collecting it, you need to put it into Animus Urn to enter the next area, where the first Shadowclaw boss is guarded.

After defeating the boss and finding the exit, you'll discover a new type of pillar that cools you down and grants you Cold Aura. Because of the fire barrier ahead, you can't pass through unless you go past the cooling pillar.

Entering the second level, you'll find that due to the high temperature, the numerous ice pillars will damage you. You need to use these ice pillars to fight your way through. This mechanic is very similar to the levels in Dark Citadel, but here Death Aura will be fatal.

At the end of this level, you'll see the last ice pillar, next to which is the entrance to the third level of the dungeon. This is the arena where The Curator resides. Once you enter, you'll immediately notice two ice pillars; you need to use them to avoid the high-temperature damage. Unfortunately, you can't stay on the ice pillars indefinitely, or you'll become The Curator's sitting duck.

When The Curator's health drops to about half, another werewolf boss, Emberclaw, will join the battle. This dual-boss battle is quite challenging, so we do not recommend you attempt it if you are not level 30, unless you have enough Diablo 4 gold to fully upgrade your gear and give you a huge advantage in the early game.

After defeating both of them, you will complete Torrid Menagerie and unlock the next rank and Capstone Dungeon.

Hellish Descent

The next dungeon is Hellish Descent, recommended level 50.

On the first level of this dungeon, you need to kill 5 door wardens. After defeating the 5th doorkeeper, the gate to Hellfire Adherent will unlock. Defeating the boss will allow you to enter the second level, Corrupted Jail.

Here, you need to charge 5 Sacrificial Altars. They function similarly to the pillars found in Dark Citadel or the spires found in Helltide. After activating the altars, you need to stay within the circle and defend against enemy attacks.

The highlight of the second level is that Butchers will spawn approximately every 30 seconds. Basically, each altar corresponds to one Butcher, so you will encounter at least five. After destroying the last altar, the path to the final level, Burgening Hatred, will open.

In the final level, you need to destroy five demonic corruptions. Like the previous level, Butcher can appear at any time, and you also need to watch out for the persistent hellfire that runs throughout the dungeon.

Once you've cleared everything, the door to the arena will open, where you'll find Elias. Here, you only need to be wary of a powerful attack that can damage half the arena - a massive wave of fire unleashed by Elias.

When Elias's health drops to around 50%, Butcher will reappear. Now you need to defeat both of them simultaneously. However, during PTR, we found through multiple attempts that we could only successfully defeat Elias after killing Butcher; otherwise, the dungeon couldn't be completed.

Therefore, we recommend killing Butcher first, then Elias. Trust me, this will be an absolutely thrilling battle, and it will eventually unlock The Pits.

That's all we know about Capstone Dungeons in Season 11 so far. The remaining three dungeons are left for brave warriors willing to push their limits. If you want to learn more, stay tuned to IGGM!

With Diablo 4 2.5.0 PTR coming to an end at 11:00 AM on October 28th, it's time to take a break from the excitement of previewing Season 11 and focus on finishing up Season 10, especially with the game introducing two new events specifically for this occasion.

These two events are Mother's Blessing and Seasonal Splendor. The former is a long-standing favorite for all Diablo 4 loyalists, while the latter is a brand-new addition to Season 10 Chaos Perks mechanic.

Interestingly, both events coincide with Halloween 2025, but Diablo 4 doesn't seem to be planning any Halloween-themed events, either through these events or through additional new events, which may be puzzling.

With this in mind, we'll provide a detailed introduction to each of these events and analyze the lack of a dedicated Halloween Diablo 4 event.

Mother's Blessing For The End Of Season 10

Mother's Blessing is a recurring event in the game that occurs almost every season, typically mid-to-late in the season. It accelerates you to complete character leveling or Season Journey before the end of the season.

This Mother's Blessing begins on October 28, 2025. While a specific end date has not yet been announced, it will probably last for one to two weeks (a week is more likely).

During Mother's Blessing, you'll receive a 35% increase in XP earned from completing battles, and a 50% increase in Diablo 4 gold drops. This will help you level up your character or Paragon board faster and accumulate more resources.

Note: If you own buffs like Elixirs, you can use them simultaneously during Mother's Blessing. This will combine the benefits of both buffs, accelerating your progress through Season Journey and Reliquary Battle Pass, allowing you to unlock higher-level rewards.

Additionally, during Mother's Blessing, completing Tree of Whispers bounties will earn you bonus Gift of the Tree caches when you turn in Favors.

Seasonal Splendor Event

This event begins the same day as Mother's Blessing and is expected to end on November 3rd. Its purpose is to increase the amount of Infernal Warp you receive through battles during this week.

This item can be used to upgrade your Seasonal Power Chaos Perks. Exclusive to Season 10, you can equip up to four Chaos Perks of varying rarities per battle, boosting the power of your character and builds.

The more Infernal Warp you possess, the stronger your Chaos Perks and, ultimately, your character. To maximize the benefits of the Seasonal Splendor event, you should choose the most efficient way to farm Infernal Warp during this period.

Currently, you can obtain this item by finding Chaos Rifts spawning in Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons. Infernal Warp is dropped by monsters in rifts, and the rewards for sealing rifts also include Infernal Warp.

In Helltides, Chaos Rifts spawn randomly and can be identified and found by their icons on the minimap. However, this farming method is highly random and requires competition with other players, so Nightmare Dungeons are more recommended.

First, Nightmare Dungeons are privately created and cannot be entered by others. Second, when you add Infernal Warp Reserve affix to a dungeon, Infernal Warp is guaranteed to drop after the battle is completed.

Why Are There Still No Halloween-Specific Events?

In fact, not just this year, Diablo 4 has not held any special Halloween-themed events since its launch. Honestly, this is quite strange, as Diablo 4 already has many horror elements that are well-suited to Halloween, and it would be a shame not to utilize them.

Holiday celebrations not only enhance the festive atmosphere in the game, but also provide additional playable events and festive decorations to enrich your game collection.

Both the player community and developers have shared ideas and concepts for Halloween events in Diablo 4 across various platforms, most of which are quite interesting and definitely worth implementing.

The most famous of these was probably the Headless Horseman, proposed by Diablo 4's lead combat designer, Owen Leach. He envisioned this enemy, like Butcher, randomly dropping into Sanctuary during Halloween, offering both frights and rewards.

However, two years after its release, none of these ideas have been implemented into the game, which is a bit of a shame. But it's not just Halloween; while Diablo 4 holds a fair number of events annually, few of them embody the elements and atmosphere of the real holidays.

It seems that for Diablo 4, simply having an event to celebrate is enough; the event itself doesn't need to forcefully reflect the characteristics of a real holiday. Take, for example, Midwinter Blight event held last December.

While this might feel a bit unfortunate, from another perspective, it makes the game feel less connected to the real world and more distant, making every story about Sanctuary feel like it actually happened in another world, not just fiction.

Whether you agree with this or not, this is indeed what makes Diablo 4 unique. Every game should have something irreplaceable that makes it unforgettable, right?

Regardless of how Diablo 4 plans its Halloween season, you can't miss Mother's Blessing and Seasonal Splendor events. These events are about to start, so get ready! And Season 11 is expected to launch on December 9th!

There's no Halloween event for Diablo 4, but don't worry, IGGM has an exclusive Halloween discount for you! Until November 5th, use the holiday promo code "HW2025" to enjoy 8% off IGGM Diablo 4 products!

Diablo 4 PTR 2.5.0 will bring a host of dramatic yet exciting changes, revising many fundamental aspects of the game, including armor and potions. As the pinnacle of the game, Mythic items are also receiving some buffs.

Knowing that not all Mythic items are useful, will the adjustments in Season 11 make some previously useless Mythic items useful again? Let's take a look at the core changes they've received in PTR.

Melted Heart Of Selig

• Change: Added an effect that increases your primary resource by 3% per point in your primary stat.

This is the most impactful item change of the season, as it grants all classes a mana shield-like effect, allowing you to treat your resources like a second health bar.

Since late-game characters typically have around 2000 primary stats, this represents a 6000% increase in the resource cap. Combined with the base resource attributes, your resource pool can easily reach tens of thousands of points. However, items will first use resources to absorb damage. You need to maximize resource generation and utilize out-of-combat resource recovery mechanics or immunities to keep the resources at a healthy level, or you will be very vulnerable.

Many of the percentage-based recovery and resource consumption effects listed in the patch notes have been capped to prevent them from being overpowered or completely incompatible with Melted Heart of Selig.

Ahavarion Spear Of Lycander

• Changes: Unchanged.

While it hasn't received any changes, it is a beneficiary of the Season 11 defense system changes. With the new defense system's uncapped resistances, the all-resistance and movement speed bonuses provided by Ahavarion Spear of Lycander have become more valuable.

Furthermore, its Lucky Shot recovery of 66% of primary resources modifier has not been nerfed. If your build relies on Lucky Shots, Melted Heart of Selig and Ahavarion Spear of Lycander will provide a next-level survivability boost. This item has great potential for speedrunning low-level The Pit or Torment IV, but may not be useful for high-level The Pit.

Shattered Vow

• Changes: Increased the duration of damage over time from 44% to 111%.

Shattered Vow acts as a direct damage multiplier, especially for spells that consume DoTs, with virtually no downside.

This significantly improves Spiritborn builds (such as Pestilent Swarm and Touch of Death). Barbarian builds with Rend or Bleeding may also consider using this item, as Barbarians have more weapon slots.

Tyrael's Might

• Changes: Updated the All Resistance attribute to +80 All Resistance, and changed the resistance percentage to Maximum Resistance.

Tyrael's Might is expected to become a top-tier defensive item. Combined with the new system, it significantly increases resilience to elemental damage. Furthermore, officials indicate that there will be stronger monsters, longer encounters, and a slower game process - all those will make this type of pure defensive item more valuable.

Andariel's Visage

• Changes: Removed the inherent poison resistance reduction and increased the maximum poison resistance to +666 poison resistance.

Andariel's Visage's exceptionally high poison resistance makes it nearly immune to poison damage, and its health-on-hit modifier has skyrocketed in value in Season 11, with the overall healing nerf. It provides powerful instant regeneration for multi-attack builds.

Furthermore, with the nerf to Masterworking, the attack speed and strong regeneration provided by Andariel's Visage are less than before, which will narrow the gap between it and Harlequin Crest.

Ring of Starless Skies

• Changes: Unchanged.

Due to its excellent and versatile stats (core skill damage, attack speed, critical strike chance, and resource cost reduction), it remains a top-tier pick. While Masterworking nerfs have reduced its absolute stat boost, its position remains strong.

Doombringer

• Changes: Unchanged.

The bonus health and damage reduction provided by Doombringer, along with its special Lucky Hit heal, are invaluable in the current heal-scarce meta. Doombringer is a solid choice for solving defensive problems, especially in hardcore modes or scenarios where survivability is crucial.

Heir Of Perdition

• Changes: Unchanged.

Heir of Perdition remains a top-tier helm. However, like Ring of Starless Skies, it has been impacted by Masterworking nerf, causing it to lose ground to other Diablo 4 mythic items.

Harlequin Crest

• Changes: Unchanged.

The damage reduction, + All Skill Levels, and armor provided by Harlequin Crest are all valid in Season 11. However, with the nerf to Masterworking, its cooldown reduction stat won't reach its previous maximum. For builds heavily reliant on cooldown reduction, it may revert from a game-changer to a very powerful item.

Shroud Of False Death

• Changes: Unchanged.

The +1 to all passive skills provided by Shroud of False Death is extremely powerful, typically providing a 50-70% damage increase and a host of utility and defensive stats.

While its resource generation and all-stat affixes synergize well with Melted Heart of Selig, some builds may opt for Tyrael's Might for ultimate defense in extremely challenging situations.

The Grandfather

• Changes: Unchanged.

The Grandfather grants a 100% increase in critical hit damage, but this effect requires 100% critical hit chance to fully function, which is more challenging given the increased difficulty of stacking critical hit chance in the new patch.

When a player's gear has reached its peak through Divine system and can no longer be improved through unique items, The Grandfather, a Diablo 4 item with excellent stats and no conflicts, may be the ultimate upgrade.

Nesecem, The Herald

• Changes: Unchanged.

While Nesecem, The Herald appears powerful, its performance is anything but. Its effect only marks one enemy, making it practically useless in combat. Furthermore, it's a two-handed weapon, requiring two slots, sacrificing significant damage to use it, making it practically unsuitable for Spiritborn builds. However, it's not entirely without value. If you're planning to buy Diablo 4 gold, selling it could net you hundreds of millions of gold, though it won't be as valuable as the other items.

Diablo 4 PTR 2.5.0 changes have successfully increased the value and usability of most Mythic items. While Nesecem, The Herald remains a minor drawback, overall, players will have more meaningful choices when building their gear, and you can test it out on PTR.

Diablo 4 Season 10 was an absolutely fantastic season. Chaos Armor significantly increased the power of various builds, resulting in The Pit generally ranking higher this season than in Season 9. However, many casual players aren't chasing high level The Pit, often stopping as soon as they reach level 100.

This season, reaching level 100 is also much faster than before, allowing you to clear a map in under a minute. Let's take a look at the fastest and most enjoyable builds.

Rank 1 Death Trap Rogue

While Rogue was frustrating at the start of Season 10, the recent patch has completely saved the class. You can take advantage of the significantly improved Chaos Perk - Hit and Run. This Perk allows you to stack damage while moving (up to 9 stacks), dealing massive damage.

You simply need to keep moving to deal damage, and Death Trap skill can gather monsters and instantly eliminate them. You can spam Death Traps all over the map, and the server will struggle to keep up with your spamming.

On open maps, Death Trap Rogue can achieve an astonishing 45-second clearance. A potential drawback to this build is that your armor or resistances won't reach their maximum, forcing you to dodge monster attacks. However, if you can clear monsters in a few seconds, this shouldn't be a problem.

Rank 2 Raven Companion Druid

Raven Companion Druid relies on auto-aiming with Raven skill. The auto-aiming mechanic works great on a controller. This build is perfect for dead gamers because it's a one-button, easy-to-use build.

If you want to boost your damage, you can use the perk to Snapshot, but it's not necessary, and your Raven is already devastating enough. In 100 The Pit, it took only about a minute to clear the entire map. Despite its high damage, its Diablo 4 item requirements aren't too high, meaning it still has plenty of damage even without Mythic items.

Rank 3 Evade Thunderspike Spiritborn

Evade Spiritborn's core ability is Thunderspike. Evade resets its cooldown, and automatically unleashes Thunderspike whenever you dodge, balancing efficiency and damage.

This build excels not only in speed, but has already reached 140 The Pit. While not as fast as the previous two builds, it's still very fast, with an average time of around two and a half minutes on The Pit 120. This build is also well-suited for casual players, as it's relatively simple and highly effective.

Rank 4 Bone Spirit Necromancer

Bone Spirit Necromancer's main gameplay is using Bone Spirit to launch Bone Splinters, creating a high AoE damage around the player. The core of this build is Gospel of the Devotee paired with Shattered Spirit's Aspect. These two items give you a powerful way to deal damage. To further increase your damage, you'll need to farm Chaos Armor.

You can also use Jah Rune to replace dodge with a mage-like teleport ability, combining high area damage for fast movement and clearing. This build is generally very efficient, with a Pit 100 clear time of around 90 seconds.

Rank 5 Lunging Strike Barbarian

Lunging Strike Barbarian primarily uses Lunging Strike for attack and movement. Use War Cry skills to boost your damage and utilize Jah Rune for continuous movement.

While Lunging Strike Barbarian deals decent damage, it relies heavily on melee combat and, compared to other classes, requires more time to pause and attack to deliver damage. It takes about two minutes to clear Pit 100, and its boss fights in high-level The Pit take significantly longer.

Rank 6 Ball Lightning Sorcerer

Ball Lightning Sorcerer is known for its fast movement and screen-clearing abilities. You can use your Teleport skill to move at high speeds while simultaneously releasing ball lightning to clear monsters in its path.

While Ball Lightning Sorcerer is highly efficient for leveling and farming Diablo 4 items, it requires multiple hits to kill elite monsters at Pit 100, while other top-tier builds can instantly dispatch them.

While it can still reach Pit 100, it takes over two minutes, significantly slower than other builds. However, it remains an excellent speedrunning build for lower-tier levels like The Pit or Torment IV.

The above rankings don't represent the actual performance of these classes in The Pit. If builds that adjust The Pit were ranked, the ranking would be as follows:

• Evade ‍Thunderspike Spiritborn (140 The Pit)
• Pulverize Druid (135 The Pit)
• Bone Spirit Necromancer (126 The Pit)
• Death Trap Rogue (124 The Pit)
• Hydra Sorcerer (124 The Pit)
• Lunging Strike Barbarian (122 The Pit)

If you're simply aiming for The Pit Rank, then every player should play Spiritborn. However, even if you manage to reach 150 The Pit, you won't receive any unique rewards. Therefore, it is crucial to choose a class and build that you enjoy.

Of course, high-level The Pit also tests a player's mastery and development of their build. If your gear isn't top-notch, you won't even be able to reach the bottom of the leaderboard. If you also want to challenge The Pit, you can buy Diablo 4 gold and items at IGGM.com to complete your build as quickly as possible.

How's your Season Journey progressing in Diablo 4 Season 10? As we all know, each Season Journey system provides players with a set of directions and objectives from the early stages of the game to the endgame, divided into seven chapters, each of which provides a rough guide to the player's progress.

Season Journey objectives are wide-ranging, and the challenge increases as the chapters progress. However, each chapter of Season Journey only requires completing a certain number of objectives to complete and receive generous rewards.

The Destroyer Chapter

So, here we want to show you how to complete the final chapter of Season 10: The Destroyer. More importantly, completing this final chapter also rewards you with Resplendent Spark, which is why this chapter is so important.

Destroyer Chapter has a total of seven objectives, but players generally only need to complete six of them to receive the rewards.

Before we begin, I must remind you that many objectives in Season 10 require players to equip at least one piece of Chaos Armor. If you haven't already, heading to Torment III and farming Bartuc boss is the most efficient option. Without further ado, let's take a look at all the objectives for completing this chapter!

1. Entropy

The first objective, which should be easy to complete, is Entropy: you need to deactivate 15 Chaos Rifts within 30 minutes.

That sounds like a lot, but it's not. The fastest way to complete it is to obtain or craft three Nightmare Sigils with Chaos Rifts affix and farm them in Nightmare Dungeons.

Why three? Because in Torment IV, each Nightmare Dungeon contains five Chaos Rifts. Depending on your luck, you might even encounter some smaller dungeons that will allow you to complete this objective in a shorter time. Generally speaking, the only dungeon type you should avoid is the one in Nahantu, as those are larger and require more time to explore.

2. Chaos In Hell

The second objective you should complete quickly is Chaos in Hell: This requires you to wear Chaos Armor, reach the maximum Threat level, and kill 200 monsters before Hellborne arrives.

Threat level is a measure of Helltide's danger level. It increases as you kill stronger monsters and unlock Tortured Gifts of Mysteries. Once you reach max level, it depletes, summoning Hellborne.

The strategy for this season is simple. Before you reach max level, you need to find a Chaos Rift, preferably of Rare or Legendary rarity. Killing any monster in a Chaos Rift is a breeze, but most importantly, if you successfully kill a Chaos Bringer, you can steal its power. This makes killing those 200 monsters much easier.

Once you've sealed Chaos Rift, continue on your way, killing as many enemies as possible, making sure not to miss any that spawn from Hellwyrms. Following this method, you should be able to reach the goal on your first try.

3. Lootmaster

The third objective, and perhaps the easiest to complete in The Destroyer Chapter, is Lootmaster: you need to open 10 Tortured Gifts in a single Tortured Gifts run in Torment 4 Helltide.

To complete this objective, you must first disable Cross-Network Play in the options menu. This reduces the number of online players, eliminates issues like lag and stuttering, and makes farming Chaos Rifts much smoother.

Next, of course, you should enter a freshly refreshed Helltide, or at least when it has 40 minutes left, so you have plenty of time to collect Cinders and open chests.

Note that the only activity you need to do is farm Chaos Rifts, regardless of type. The average Chaos Rift in Torment 4 gives you about 40 Cinders, but because you're also killing monsters between rifts, you'll quickly rack up hundreds of Cinders.

But that's it. Once you've collected around 1,000 Cinders, open all the chests you can, except for Mysteries Chests, as they're very expensive. Aim to open any chest that costs 75-150 Cinders.

One final piece of advice, of course, is to avoid dying, as you'll lose your hard-earned Cinders. But if you do die, you can still complete the objective as long as you have time.

In short, once you open your 10th Tortured Gift, you'll receive a notification that the objective has been completed, and you're done.

4. Mastery Maker

Next, let's look at Mastery Maker objective: you need to complete five Torment 4 Local Events with Mastery within 30 minutes.

To complete this objective, I recommend heading to Helltide and farming the orange circles that appear in Helltide. I strongly recommend disabling Cross-Network Play as well, as some players can complete them before you reach the event, which is not a pleasant experience.

Another method is to farm the events that appear in Nightmare Dungeon. The only problem is that these events are sometimes difficult to find, and sometimes triggering them requires clicking on a treasure chest, well, corpse, or other obscure object.

5. Bloodstained Chaos

The fifth objective on this list is Bloodstained Chaos: you need to collect 1,000 Aether from a single Infernal Hordes encounter in Torment 4 while wearing Chaos Armor.

The first step to completing this objective is to obtain a 10-Wave Infernal Compass, simply because the more waves you play, the greater your chance of collecting Aether.

Last but not least, you need to complete every Chaos Wave that appears, as each wave offers a large amount of Aether. If you happen to encounter The Butcher, killing him will even give you 100 Aether instantly!

6. With Sand To Spare

Another objective to earn rewards is With Sand to Spare: it requires you to complete The Pit at level 75 or higher in under 10 minutes. This objective shouldn't be difficult regardless of your build.

To survive The Pit, it's crucial to ensure your resistances are maxed out and your armor is at 1000 at Tier 4. Additionally, upgrade your gems to the highest level and Masterwork all your gear to level 12.

Additionally, you'll need to master your tactics, avoid death, avoid ground effects, and use Shrines to your advantage.

Completing these six objectives will complete The Destroyer Chapter and earn your rewards. Rewards include:

• Guardian Of The Sanguine Grove (Emblem)
• Chaotic, Warlord (Player Titles)
• 1 Resplendent Spark
• 4 Smoldering Ashes

7. Pinnacle Of Chaos

Finally, there's another objective in The Destroyer Chapter. While it's not required, if you're a season completer or just want to complete it, the final and most difficult objective in Season 10 is Pinnacle of Chaos: defeat Lilith while wearing Chaos Armor in Torment 4.

Since Diablo 4 Season 10 removed the boss's invincibility phase, this goal is now achievable, and if you're willing to invest more Diablo 4 gold to increase your character's DPS, you can even kill Lilith with one hit.

So there's no specific strategy here; just upgrade your gear to the highest level and ensure your attack power is at least billions to have a chance of defeating Lilith. A good way to measure this is to see if you can beat The Pit at level 95 or higher.

In addition to dealing damage, in Torment 4, you also need to max out your resistances and boost your armor to 1000, as a single hit from Lilith will probably kill you. So, don't worry about movement speed or anything else; just deal as much damage as possible and finish her off.

Finally, completing this objective isn't necessary, but if you make the effort and kill Lilith, congratulations! You've officially completed all objectives in Season 10 Season Journey!

To be honest, besides the enticing rewards in Season Journey, challenging and defeating Uber Lilith has always been a pursuit for countless players, as it proves their prowess.

Regardless, now's the perfect time to push your limits. If you want to improve your win rate, in addition to the above, you can also buy safe and affordable IGGM Diablo 4 Gold to quickly upgrade your equipment and increase your character's damage, enabling you to kill Lilith with one blow!

Today, we're discussing the best build for Necromancer players in Diablo 4 Season 10. It's Shadow Bone Storm Necromancer, which uses the shadow-tagged Bone Storm as its primary damage source while also creating devastating Tornadoes for exceptional DPS and screen-clearing damage!

Honestly, Shadow Bone Storm Necromancer build will definitely hold its own higher in the season 10 leaderboards as the game progresses, as its superior survivability and mobility will allow you to go further in the endgame.

If we had to choose a rival build, it would probably be Chain Lightning Sorcerer build. However, if we're focusing solely on its suitability in Infernal Hordes, we still recommend Bone Storm Necromancer. Because this build leverages the seasonal mechanic, Bone Storm, your ultimate, becomes a continuously usable core ability, allowing you to spawn Tornadoes almost continuously, instantly killing enemies before they can react. It's insane!

So, how do you build this S-tier Shadow Bone Storm Necromancer? Let's take a look from our perspective!

Tornado Summoning

First, how do you summon so many Tornadoes? This is a very common question. Actually, it's all thanks to the new Chaos Perk in Season 10, Alter the Balance.

This unique power transforms your basic core abilities into ultimate abilities with cooldowns, while also making your basic ultimate abilities core abilities with no cooldown but costing Essence. This is also how you get Shadow Bone Storm, turning it into a primary damage source for Tornado spamming.

Normally, it doesn't have the same effects as Shadow, but you can convert it into Shadow, gaining all the non-physical damage and all Shadow stats we'll be getting.

Chaos Perks

As for Chaos Perks, you can run Marred Guard for extra armor, as this build is definitely more fragile than Sorcerer, but if you're just doing Torment 4, that's fine.

You can also run Decimating Desecration, which significantly boosts your DoT damage by an amount equal to your critical strike chance. Ideally, you should aim for 100% critical strike chance in this build. Of course, you can also guarantee critical strikes with specific rune combinations.

Crazy Brew is also a good option. It converts your Healing Potions into Chaos effects, providing a powerful buff to all classes and reducing resource costs by 100%. So, I actually highly recommend targeting Crazy Brew, as it gives you insane attack speed. More importantly, it's how you cover the entire screen with Tornado.

If you're interested in farming The Pits, I also recommend Alternating Alterations, which enhance your core skills, increasing damage and partially refunding the resource cost of your next non-channeled core skill after using another core skill. With this Chaos Perk, Bone Storm Necromancer is absolutely capable of running The Pits 100+.

Skill Setups

Next, let's take a look at the skills required for Shadow Bone Storm Necromancer and why we should use them.

In most cases, all you really need to do is use Bone Storm. The remaining skills are chosen simply because they are Darkness Skills that gain bonuses when equipped.

As for Book of the Dead, this provides new powers for customizing your Necromancer minions - or sacrificing them for their abilities. This allows us to not only deal increased Shadow damage, but also gain the bonus of Skeletal Mages, meaning Overpowered damage.

Golem Sacrifice can also be used to gain additional critical damage, and sacrificing a summoned golem provides a permanent passive benefit.

Gear

Regarding the gear choices for this build, I must state upfront that we're not considering Diablo 4 gold cost here; we're more focused on getting the most out of it.

First, we'll be using Lidless Wall constantly. This allows us to trigger Lucky Hits and a chance to summon Bone Storm again when we activate Bone Storm.

Also, we'll encounter all sorts of crazy Tornadoes in the game, and you'll need to leverage Bone Storm to deal double damage. Fists of Fate is a great addition here, granting you a ton of attack speed and critical hits, and it also has a chance to crowd control enemies with Lucky Hits, which is definitely useful.

Then we'll be using the Banished Lord's Talisman, as it's a core skill that guarantees Overpowering your next core skill after spending your primary resource, and Overpowered Critical Strikes deal even more damage.

Reaper's Pursuit is here simply to deal more damage with Ebonpiercer. We've also thrown in an add-on item I think is pretty cool, called Bloodless Scream. It boosts the level of our Darkness Skills. Then, we use Aspect of Ultimate Shadow to transform Bone Storm into a Darkness Skill.

Next, we focus on Finality, which increases damage dealt by 5% for 8 seconds after casting your Ultimate Skill, allowing our Tornado to deal more damage.

After that, we absolutely must use Aspect of Shielding Storm, as it boosts our survivability. Every time Bone Storm damages an enemy, you gain a shield equal to 1-8% of your maximum health for 10 seconds. You can also use Amulets to maximize your health, but if you want more damage, use any item that increases damage.

Finally, Ring of Starless Skies remains one of the best Mythic Unique Rings in the game. It reduces the resource cost of skills by consuming primary resources, increasing our damage by up to 50% for a short period of time. Meanwhile, engraving Aspect of Apogeic Furor on your gear can help you quickly increase the power of your character's Ultimate Skill.

In short, Shadow Bone Storm Necromancer combines Chaos Perks, critical damage scaling, and efficient cooldown management to deliver exceptionally high damage output. Its consistent screen clearing capabilities not only make this build highly efficient for farming gold, gear, and other resources, but also allow it to quickly dispatch even the most formidable Torment bosses.

However, as mentioned earlier, this high-DPS build requires optimized ultimate gear and Chaos Uniques, necessitating a high gold budget. If your gold inventory is running low, the large quantity of cheap and fast-delivering Diablo 4 Gold for sale on IGGM is sure to provide the relief you need!

At the beginning of every new season, Seasonal Reputation system is always a top priority for players, as it's the fastest way to obtain essential resources like unique items and Resplendent Sparks, which are crucial for crafting powerful Mythic Unique items and increasing character levels. Diablo 4 Season 10 is no exception.

In Season 10, farming Seasonal Reputation remains the best way to obtain all valuable items, including Mythic Uniques, Chaos Armor, and Infernal Hordes Compasses.

More importantly, by maximizing your Reputation gains, you can earn additional resources and even transfer these gains to other characters, accelerating your overall power and gear acquisition. This is why countless players are constantly searching for ways to optimize their Reputation farming.

But speeding up your reputation farming in Diablo 4 is actually quite simple: simply keep searching for Chaos Rifts as they spawn in Helltide and close them. This will earn you Seasonal Reputation and the seasonal currency known as Infernal Warp, which you can redeem for Reputation, and then exchange your Reputation for caches containing valuable loot.

Unlocking And Upgrading Seasonal Blessings

To maximize your farming gains, the first thing you need to do is make sure you use up Smoldering Ashes for the season to unlock and upgrade specific Seasonal Blessings. In fact, all Blessings, with the exception of Urn of Blazing Infernal, contribute to your reputation.

3 Effective Ways To Explore Chaos Rifts

Also, before you get started, there's one more thing to note. Lately, many players have been complaining about being stuck and feeling lost while traversing Helltide. Here are some tips to help with this.

First and foremost, remember that Chaos Rifts constantly spawn. Therefore, it's quite difficult to use up all of these rifts on a single interactive map.

1. Scourt The Map Thoroughly

So if you're having trouble finding spawned rifts, our first suggestion is to scout the map more thoroughly, as you might only be focusing on nearby Chaos Rifts.

2. Head To Another Area Within Helltide

If that doesn't work, you can try moving to another area within Helltide. Helltide always consists of at least two areas. In one of these areas, you'll find Whisper objectives, and this area is usually more crowded.

But if you're looking for a slightly less crowded area, you can go to another area. This area still has Chaos Rifts, but since there's no Tree of Whispers, it's less crowded, and naturally, there won't be as much Diablo 4 gold and loot to farm.

3. Quickly Travel To And From Helltide Via Portals

Finally, the quickest way to resolve this issue is to use a portal to teleport out of Helltide, wait outside for about 5-10 seconds, and then use the return portal to teleport back. This will bring you to a new stage, a new instance of the area.

However, the chance of encountering a rift using this method is entirely reliant on random chance. If you're lucky, a Chaos Rift will appear in this new instance; if you're unlucky, this still won't solve the problem.

Finally, I should mention that you can disable online play in the main menu settings, which theoretically reduces the number of players competing with you. However, this method may not work for every player.

How To Farm?

Once you've lucked out and found Chaos Rifts, it's time to get started with the looting process.

Choose Higher Rarity Chaos Rifts

First and foremost, it's recommended that you prioritize higher-rarity Chaos Rifts. For example, if I open a map and see five different rifts, I'll always choose Legendary Chaos Rifts, as they have a chance of giving me Chaos Armor, and Mythic Chaos Rifts, which have a small chance of giving me a Mythic Unique item.

So, if you see multiple rifts on the map, immediately hover your mouse over them to check their rarity, and try to prioritize Legendary or even Mythic rarity.

As for Magic and Rare Rifts, I don't think there's much difference between them, so the choice is yours.

Regardless, you should be happy to see any type of rift, and you should always try to open and close them for reputation building.

Choosing Useful Buffs

Now, one thing that's very important when building reputation in Season 10 is buffs.

You may have noticed that when you deal Chaos Rifts, a purple icon appears on your buff bar. This buff is mostly useless, but can be extremely useful in certain situations.

For example, you might randomly receive a useless buff that deals Shadow, Fire, Frost, or other damage, or it might randomly receive a buff that drops more seasonal currency when you attack an enemy. The latter is the buff you want.

Maximizing buffs is crucial to building up seasonal reputation. Therefore, I recommend that whenever you gain a buff, you hover your mouse over the buff icon in your buff bar and check to see if it's useful to you.

If you successfully gain this useful buff, you should kill as many enemies as possible around you, as they'll drop more Infernal Warps, the seasonal currency.

If you use this buff correctly, you can earn up to approximately 25,000 Infernal Warps per buff. This is a significant number, considering a normal Chaos Rift only drops 1 to 200 Warps.

Farming Tips

We've discussed the basics of this buff, so now let's discuss some tips.

Prioritize Killing Elite Demons

You might think you gain this buff by turning off Chaos Rift, but that's not true. You actually gain it by killing an elite demon. So, technically, even if you have Chaos Rift enabled, someone can steal your buff by killing the demon first.

Of course, I'm not suggesting you steal other people's buffs, but I'm suggesting you prioritize this Elite Demon, as it determines whether or not you'll receive this useful buff.

Open Helltide Chests As Much As Possible

As for another tip, I recommend opening as many Helltide Mystery Chests as possible, as they have a chance to contain Nightmare Sigils with Chaos Rift affix.

These Sigils are so important because you can simply use them to teleport into the dungeon, and then, without actually entering the dungeon, you can check the dungeon map to see if you have Legendary or Mythic rifts. If you do, you can complete the dungeon and receive Mythic Unique and Chaos Armor.

How To Use Reputation?

Finally, I want to talk about how to actually use your hard-earned reputation points.

There are two main ways to use Seasonal Reputation, each with different rewards. Therefore, it's crucial to understand the benefits of each method.

Unlocking Caches

The first method is slightly simpler and involves your character acquiring a repeatable cache on Reputation board. You can earn these caches for 110,000 Reputation points, and you can repeat this process an unlimited number of times. Each cache contains at least one piece of Chaos Armor, sometimes two, and an Infernal Hordes Compass.

Unlocking A New Character's Reputation Board

The other method is slightly more complex. In this case, you'll need to obtain scrolls from the seasonal vendor next to Reputation board and then transfer them to a brand new character. This will eventually unlock the full Reputation board for this new character. You can then claim everything on this new Reputation board.

Summary

So, which way to spend Reputation is better?

With the first, simpler method, you'll receive at least one piece of Chaos Armor and one Infernal Hordes Compass, all for just 4,750 points.

With the other, more complex method, you'll receive a Resplendent Spark, for a total of four pieces of Chaos Armor, but you won't receive any actual Compass. All of this requires a total of 22,250 Infernal Warps.

So there's no single best way; it's more about what you need and which method works best for you!

Regardless, the most effective way to gain reputation in Season 10 is still farming Chaos Rifts in Helltide. But if you want to have smooth sailing in your farming process, it is crucial to buy safe and cheap Diablo 4 gold at IGGM.com to fully optimize your character equipment! Good luck!
