No more getting stuck while you are in the middle of crafting, because after this you will have plenty of resources to do everything you need to do to get blasting on your character!
In this we will cover:
Nightmare Dungeons and Escalating Nightmare Dungeons are such a great way to get some really important materials in Diablo 4 to help you get your build online. These are some of the best places to farm Gold and Gems because of the specific Dungeon Affixes. And while you are farming for those two things, you will be getting a healthy store of Obducite while you are at it!
If you are looking for Gold, it is important for you to look for Nightmare Dungeons with the Gold Reserve Dungeon Affix. This will provide more Gold than Vile Splendor so make sure you select this one.
If Gems are what you need, then you are going to look specifically for the Gem you need in the Dungeon Affixes, such as Ruby Reserve. Since your build will most likely only require 2-3 different types of Gems, it is better to target the specific Gem you need, instead of farming the Gem Reserve Dungeon Affix, as that will provide significantly less Gems overall, and take even longer for you to farm up the ones you need.
Escalating Nightmare Dungeons are also a great way to provide both Gold and Gems. If you are lacking both, this is an excellent way to maximize your time spent farming. Since the rolls on the Dungeon Affixes can vary once you get to the second or third tier of the dungeon, it is not guaranteed that you will get the ones that you want. However, the second tier will roll two positive affixes, and the third tier will roll 3 giving you more chances to roll the ones you want at the same time.
You can get your first Escalating Nightmare Dungeon by running a Nightmare Dungeon sigil with the Horadric Strongroom Affix, because this will almost always guarantee an Escalating Nightmare Dungeon sigil. Another way is to place 5 regular Nightmare Dungeon sigils into your Horadric Cube, and transmute them into an Escalating Nightmare Dungeon.
To enhance your Nightmare Dungeons with War Plans, there are a couple of good options to choose. A top priority suggestion is to take the Fearless Conviction node on your War Plan. This increases your chance to get Attuned Primordial Dust. This will also help increase all Cube Material drops in your Nightmare Dungeons, which will be very beneficial for when you are crafting a lot.
Extra notes: Remember to prioritize any dungeons with the Dungeon Affixes you want that also provide Grim Favors. The Whispering Tree provides caches which also help with Gold, Gems, Cube Materials and more!
Helltides will be your one stop shop for basically everything else. From Cube Materials, to Lair Boss Keys and everything in between. Helltides have always been a really great place to farm a variety of needed materials. To maximize your Helltide farming, these are the things you are going to need to do first:
On your War Plans, you are going to want to work your way towards the Meat Brothers node and start farming to collect a few of the Profane Mindcages.
The Profane Mindcages can stack up to 3 times, but remember the monsters will be stronger so make sure you can still kill things. These can really help maximize your time spent in the Helltides, since this will make your Threat Meter go off more frequently. Once you have a few of these stocked up in your inventory, you can change up your Helltide War Plan tree. The most popular node to work towards is Writhe and Rot, for maximum experience gained.
Helltides drop a lot of Lair Boss Keys, Cube Materials, Forgotten Souls, and more. This truly is your one stop shop, the only thing that is considered sub-optimal here would be Gold. While you are blasting through Helltides in Season 14, make sure to close many Ruptures, as this will progress your Season Reputation quickly, and those caches will also provide a lot of materials. Helltides also have Grim Favors, so you can also collect more caches from the Whispering Tree at the same time.
The Kurast Undercity is a great way to get Cube Materials on the fly. If you get stuck in the middle of crafting, just quickly pop open an Undercity Tribute with Horadric Cube Materials and run that to get some materials fast! There are 3 versions - Lesser, regular and Greater. Just make sure to not add a bargain so you do not lose out on more Cube Materials.
There is one more excellent way to get Gold fast, but you have to be willing to sacrifice some loot for it, but it is only temporarily, if you choose. Running Lair Bosses with the Golden Hoard node selected on your War Plans will convert all loot except for Unique and Mythic items into gold. Running a few will get your in-game wallet right back up, and if you run about 30 or so, you should be finishing with a few billion in the bank.
Note: Results will vary based off of Torment level
These methods should get you fully stacked up with all the materials that you need to continuously craft, blast and have fun. Just remember, the higher Torment tier you are in, the more rewarding each of these methods will be.
