Diablo 4 DLC: How To Farm Obducite To Upgrade Equipments?
If you want to maximize the effectiveness of your gear in Diablo 4, you must make full use of Tempering and Masterworking system in the game, which are aimed at offering you more agency and freedom in the aspects of item properties. Once you already have god rolls, you need Obducite to give it more power.
As the main resource for Masterworking gear, Obducite is quite essential to level up your performance. Unfortunately, this item is pretty scarce, but it is still easy to operate if you know the specific location information and method.
If you want to maximize the effectiveness of Legendary or Unique items like Wound Drinker, then be sure to collect enough Obducite and Masterwork them.
This article mainly introduces the ways to get Obducite for your reference, and the difficulty of each game varies. It is undoubtable that the difficulties are proportional to the amount that you are gonna to embrace.
Infernal Hordes
Infernal Hordes serve as a great channel to get both gear and crafting materials. Players are required to fend off waves of demons while collecting Aether simultaneously, a kind of currency specialized in Infernal Hordes and is basically used to open chests at the radar of the activity.
It is surprised to see one of these chests yield nothing but gem fragments Obducite. Therefore, by completing the Infernal Hordes activity, repeatedly joining in each run can easily get thousands of Obducite.
In Infernal Hordes, Infernal Compass is an essential item, which can be obtained by opening Helltide chests and Tree of Whispers caches. Or to claim them by completing Nightmare Dungeons and The Pit.
Nightmare Dungeons
As long as you have a spare Nightmare Dungeon Keys, then a ton of crafting materials together with some decent loots are waiting for you to pick up. Comparing to Infernal Hordes mentioned above, the quests in this dungeon are relatively simple and easy to deal with. And the time you devoted in is comparatively short. So it’s understandable that it yields less Obducite.
But generally speaking, Nightmare Dungeons are more profitable. Not only can players get equipment by defeating enemies and looting chests, but more valuable items can be embraced. For example, materials needed for summoning Diablo 4 bosses like the Beast in Ice.
Kurast Undercity
As a new dungeon that has been introduced in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion, Kurast Undercity serves as the last best source in the game. This activity is unique because the specific reward objects can be chosen.
Kurast Undercity activity offers players an opportunity to pick and choose what loot they get by the advantage of Tributes and Bargains system. As for Obducite farming, Tribute of Refinement is needed, which will award you Masterworking Materials once being successfully completed.
Tributes are obtained randomly, but except for Tribute of Refinement, which can provide you with Obducite, other types of Tributes are not applicable. Therefore, if you make farming Obducite your main goal, you will inevitably invest more time and effort in this dungeon.
Transmute At Alchemist
If you don’t collect enough Obducite in the above three activities, it is recommended to convert directly. But the premise is that you have enough Ingoliths or Neathiron TO transform them to Obducite directly. But it can only be transformed in Eternal Realm.
Obtainable After Reaching Level 60
As a late-game Masterworking material, Obducite is obtainable after reaching level 60. Completing various activities at higher difficulties will greatly increase your chances of obtaining Obducite.
How To Use Obducite?
As mentioned above, Obducite is mainly used to upgrade equipment. Obducite is quite essential to enhancing equipment affixes via Masterworking at Blacksmith. Equipped with enough Obducite and make an interaction with Blacksmith and switch to Masterworks Tab, you can upgrade your equipment.
How To Masterwork Equipment?
Temper Your Equipment
The first step to masterwork your equipment is to temper it at any blacksmith. Depending on the level of the equipment, the number of tempers required varies. Common equipment only needs to be tempered for only one time, but Ancestral equipment required to be tempered twice to be Masterworked.
After tempering, comes the role of Obducite that you have collected before. You can obtain it in the five ways mentioned above.
Begin Masterwork
Once you have the necessary materials, you can proceed to masterwork. Depending on the type, rarity, and level of the equipment being crafted, the amount and materials required will vary, so it is best to prepare more in advance.
You can also reset the rank of any equipment you’ve Masterworked by clicking the red circle next to the item. This will cost you 30 Iron Chunks or Raw Hide, 20 Veiled Crystals, 5 Forgotten Souls, and 5,000,000 Diablo 4 Gold in total.
It is important to note that Masterworking differs from the regular equipment upgrades of Blacksmith. Your equipment will not be improved by this, but only by adding affixes. Therefore, those who say that Masterworking will replace the position of Blacksmith are not reasonable.
Masterwork mechanic can enhance the affixes on your equipment by 5% every rank.
The above is an introduction to how to get Obducite, an important resource in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion. If you want more information about resources, please enter iGMeet discord. There is a lucky draw being held on October 28th. Enter your favorite emojis to take part in. There will be 10 players who will evenly share 2,000 Duriel Materials, 2,000 Andariel Materials, 10,000 Living Steel as well as 10,000 Exquisite Blood. Thank you for reading.

Is Diablo 4 Still Worth Pla ...
In the past 2024, Diablo 4’s performance can be said to be very impressive, such as providing players with 4 seasons of different game content (Season 3 - Season 6), releasing the game’s first expansion, Vessel of Hatred DLC, and various improvements in the game’s quality of life and mechanics. Of course, these outstanding achievements are presented to all players by the developers. Is this really the case? Unfortunately, in the summer of 2024, Diablo 4’s daily active players gradually decreased due to the impact of Elden Ring’s new expansion Shadow of the Erdtree. In the past December, because of the release of Path of Exile 2 Early Access, many D4 players have flowed to this game with plenty of gimmicks. So in the current 2025, is Diablo 4, a game that has been released for a year and a half, still worth exploring for players? In fact, there is no definite conclusion to this question, because it is uncertain what changes will happen to D4 or other games in 2025, and every player will definitely have an answer of their own. Here we will dialectically look at whether the game Diablo 4 is worth continuing to spend time and energy to play in the new year based on the needs of different groups of people. For Diablo 4 Enthusiasts For players who only love the excitement and crazy exploration experience brought by Diablo 4, 2025 is definitely a year worth continuing the exploration journey. First of all, in the first month of the year, January 21, Season 7 will be released. In this new season, you will feel that a new power called Witch Powers has been added to the game, which will make the complete game shrouded in a more mysterious color. Players familiar with this game must know that this is the tradition of Diablo 4. In each new season, players will be brought a system or mechanism that will make earth-shaking changes to the game content. For example, last season, Spiritborn that can use various animal spirits was added, which made a huge change in the build level in the game - Spiritborn build became the darling of players. Although Roadmap of Diablo 4 in 2025 has not been officially announced at this stage, under the condition that the developers carefully listen to the suggestions and feedback of players, its performance in 2025 will definitely not be too bad, and it can even attract more players with different skill levels to join it. So as a loyal fan of D4, are you looking forward to seeing more new players in the game? It is also worth explaining to you that in your future explorations, you can get more game products, such as items or gold, through the gift channel in iGMeet Discord, which will make your exploration in future seasons easier and more enjoyable. As Passerby Players For those players who often hang out in various MMORPGs, it is a bit unworthy to spend a lot of time and energy on Diablo 4. First, under the impact of many similar games, the number of daily active players of Diablo 4 is gradually decreasing, which makes it impossible for you to find enough teammates when you are exploring in a party form. Although Diablo 4 provides a lot of tolerance for some single-player exploration players, some late-game bosses or campaigns are very difficult to pass if explored alone, and even require nearly dozens of hours on them. This is very disadvantageous for players who have other game options, because they will directly give up this difficult grinding and turn to more interesting and simple activities in other games. More importantly, with the change of seasons, it takes more time and effort to obtain a large amount of Diablo 4 Gold in the game, and the demand for Gold in the game has also increased greatly, which will make players often feel that they can’t make ends meet and then give up the game. Speaking of spending, the overall cost of Diablo 4 is also much higher than similar games. First, the basic game requires you to spend $49.99. If you want to experience the game content in the new expansion, you have to spend $69.99 to get Vessel of Hatred expansion. For the same type of Last Epoch, you only need $34.99 to explore the basic game, and even Ultimate Edition only costs you $64.99. In this case, I believe that some passers-by players will be more willing to choose a more cost-effective game to play. Although Supporter Pack in Path of Exile 2 Early Access currently costs you $29.99 to get, given the grand storyline and more worthy game mechanics in this game, more passers-by players are more willing to explore it. Not only that, its original work, which was released nearly ten years ago, has always maintained an excellent reputation among many players, and the equally highly anticipated POE 3.26 is also expected to be released in February 2025. Under the impact of these two games, Diablo 4 may have even less market share, and fewer and fewer players will explore it. In addition, Elden Ring, which caused the initial impact on D4 last summer, will also launch a derivative game in 2025 called Elden Ring Nightreign, which will support players to play couch Co-Op, which is one feature that Diablo 4 players have always dreamed of. The announcement of this derivative game may cause D4, a game that is used to being self-contained, to be severely affected again. In general, if you are a player who has only explored Diablo 4, you can look forward to what new surprises the developers will bring you in 2025. But for those players who are just watching the fun, this game is not worth spending too much time and energy on, because there really won’t be any new moves. You can focus on new similar games or new expansions or sequels of some old games. I wish you a happy gaming journey in 2025!Jan-02-2025

Diablo 4 Season 6: Which Cl ...
Diablo 4 Season 6 is coming with a series of updates and changes that will reshape the player experience. Through PTR experience of 2.0 major update, we already know that Vessel of Hatred will introduce important changes that affect all classes and builds. Now that PTR is over, have you decided which class and build you should choose to experience the new Season 6 content? This guide will provide you with predictions for the best class and build based on the upcoming changes. Class Changes Players will gain additional skill points between levels 50 and 60 to adjust your build. The maximum level of the character is capped at level 60. After reaching level 60, players will transition to Paragon levels, further strengthening the build. World tiers have been restructured. Players will now advance through new difficulty levels called Normal, Hard, Expert, and Penitent then unlock Torment levels. Ancestral items will drop at the beginning of the Torment level, and the introduction of new item qualities will change the way players equip in the endgame stages. Season 6 Class Tier List The impact of new skills, changes to Paragon system, item quality adjustments, and the introduction of Rune Words will all have an impact on class rankings in Season 6. When considering the general enhancements and the impact of the new systems being introduced on Season 6, an early preview of Season 6 class tier list is given below. 1. Spiritborn Tier: S Spiritborn is equipped with a range of active and passive skills, such as Concussive Stomp and Vortex. Not only do these skills introduce new strategic options that will hopefully increase their adaptability in a variety of game situations, but they also have the potential to create powerful synergies with other game mechanics. Therefore, it is well worth spending some Diablo 4 Gold to acquire equipment that can enhance Spiritborn’s damage output. 2. Necromancer Tier: S Some of the Necromancer’s key skills have been significantly improved. Blood Lance can now pierce through enemies and gain suppression effects after multiple casts. The newly added ultimate skill S Rift can absorb souls to deal damage and create a defensive barrier. Enhanced passive skills also further improve Necromancer’s utility and damage output. 3. Sorcerer Tier: S Sorcerer gains a summon skill that dynamically adjusts based on the last element used. The passive skill Enlightenment significantly increases damage output under certain conditions and optimizes elemental damage synergy. The update of Rune words expands Sorcerer’s cross-class tactical options. 4. Barbarian Tier: A Barbarian introduces new skills and passive skills. Barbed Carapace passive skill can improve Thorns builds, while new skills such as Pulse AOE and Mighty Throw can enhance Barbarian’s diversity and crowd control capabilities. These skills, combined with the rich Paragon board, improve Barbarian’s utility and damage. 5. Rogue Tier: B Rogue will gain a new skill that enhances mobility and attack power. The adjustment of passive skills focuses on enhancing elemental damage and injecting additional effects into skills. But compared with other professions, these updates are far from enough. 6. Druid Tier: C Druid’s Stone Burst skill will be buffed, while the One with Nature passive is designed to greatly enhance companion abilities, but Druid will still be in the lower tier unless further adjustments are made after PTR. Builds Tier List Our ranking of the best builds in Diablo 4 Season 6 based on the changes in PTR is as follows: 1. Lightning Spear Sorcerer Lightning Spear Sorcerer was the best build in Season 5, and it is still a top choice in Season 6. It benefits from a conjuration mastery cap increase to 30, which enhances its already strong damage output. With the addition of splintering buff and rune word benefits, it can deal more deadly damage. The inclusion of War Cry in its arsenal further consolidates its leading position. 2. Bleed Builds Bleed Builds may not have a particularly strong performance in Season 6. Despite this, players have always maintained a high level of enthusiasm for testing and optimizing these builds. But without major innovations in build strategies, they are not expected to reach the top level. 3. Rapid Fire Rogue Rapid Fire Rogue impressed players with its high damage output in Season 5. Its adjustments in PTR are not expected to have an impact on its high damage. Therefore, it will still be a solid choice for players looking for a stable performance. 4. Bone Spirit Necromancer Bone Spirit Necromancer may see a boost in survivability in Season 6. Double damage with the new update may make this build even more popular. Each of these builds has unique advantages and disadvantages, and their ultimate survivability may change further in PTR. If you are missing some items or equipment when doing these builds, you can follow Giveaway channel in iGMeet discord, which often releases product giveaway information for Diablo 4, and you can explore these builds with more players in the discord group and pay attention to more powerful builds.Sep-14-2024

Diablo 4 Season 5: Top 5 Ro ...
While Rogue is a brand new class in Diablo 4, some people consider it somewhat similar to the previous agility class, Demon Hunter. They share some commonalities from previous games in the series. However, unlike Demon Hunter, Rogue has the option of using melee attacks instead of just ranged attacks. In addition, this class no longer relies on mana meters because of the introduction of energy-based skills. Nevertheless, many players who like to play Demon Hunter can still reassign skills and abilities to their Rogue to create a subclass with a unique experience. Therefore, this article will introduce the five best Rogue builds you can try in Diablo 4 Season 5. 1) Barrage Rogue Barrage Rogue was already excellent in Diablo 4 Season 4, and this advantage is still maintained in Season 5. Players should use Puncture to build Combo Points and use Barrage as the main attack skill. In previous Seasons, Cold Imbuement or Poison Imbuement were optional skills, but given Poison buffs Rogue received in Season 5, it is recommended that players choose Poison Imbuement, which may greatly improve the efficiency of players in earning Diablo 4 Gold in the game. To increase combat efficiency, use a combination of Caltrops to reposition or slow down the movement of enemies, while using Shadow Step to quickly evacuate in critical situations and deal critical blows in melee range. What makes this build attractive is its ability to smoothly switch between melee and retreat while using the powerful output of Barrage to defeat enemies. Although this build is mainly an AOE class and may not be as efficient as other types against bosses, in Season 5, its performance against bosses has been significantly improved because of the addition of Poison Imbuement. 2) Rapid Fire Rogue Rapid Fire Rogue was one of the effective strategies for traversing The Pit in Season 4, and it looks like it will continue to be one of the strongest builds for Rogue in Season 5 of Diablo 4. Unlike Barrage, Rapid Fire fires a volley of arrows in front of Rogue, which has less AoE but is more focused and powerful, making it very useful for quickly clearing and collecting Diablo 4 Gold on the map. It relies on Heartseeker skill to build combo points, and may continue to do so in Season 5. In addition, players will need to utilize Shadow Step, Caltrops, and Dash to move flexibly. In terms of the choice between Cold Imbuementor and Poison Imbuement, while Cold Imbuementor is still effective, Poison Imbuement is a more suitable option for players because it is a more challenging gameplay and does require players to play at long range like a sniper. 3) Penetrating Shot Rogue Penetrating Shot Rogue is very fun to play when you line up enemies correctly, and this fun has been significantly improved in patch 1.5.0 and has become easier. Penetrating Shot now deals 10% more damage per pierced enemy and has a 25% chance to fire an extra arrow for free when hitting a boss or elites. To make the most of this buff, use Trickshot Aspect to get more free arrows, and Puncture to accumulate Combo Points and Slow/Vulnerable enemies. Meanwhile, combining Dash, Shadow Step, and Caltrops will provide flexible mobility. Poison Imbuement seems more beneficial than Cold considering the buffs. With the ability to effectively manipulate enemy alignment, this build is expected to become a strong contender for the best build for Rogues in Diablo 4 Season 5. 4) Andariel Rogue Andariel Rogue offers a unique gameplay experience in Diablo 4. This build is relatively complex as it relies on Mythics/Unique Mythics, including Andariel’s Visage, Fists of Fate, and the new Umbracrux. Until these items are collected, it can basically be considered a Barrage build. In order to maximize the effectiveness of Andariel, you need to have +30% Lucky Hit Chance and increase the duration of Poison Imbuement by three times through tempering. While it is still possible to attempt this build without these specific items, its effectiveness and efficiency will be greatly reduced. Fortunately, the core gameplay of the build is quite simple, relying mainly on Barrage with Poison Imbuement to output as much damage as possible. Players should use damage to tag enemies, and then move on to find the best time to utilize poison nova procs. The actual rotation of this build contains many details, but it is definitely worth trying if you can gather all the necessary equipment. 5) Twisting Blades Rogue Twisting Blades Rogue is a very interesting choice in Diablo 4 Season 5, especially for Mapping/Speedfarming. However, it performs slightly worse than other builds when fighting against bosses, The Pit, and other difficult content of the game, but the difference is not significant. In this build, players should use Puncture to build Combo Points, while also taking advantage of Vulnerable, and then use Twisting Blades as the primary means of damage output. In the initial stage, players need to focus on Punctures first, but as they become familiar with the skills, they will be able to seamlessly switch between Punctures and Twisting Blades. Poison Imbuement performs well in this build, significantly increasing damage output, which is exactly what players need. Dash, Shadowstep, and Caltrops, players will have an efficient map clearing build. In short, Diablo 4 Season 5 brings a series of interesting build choices to Rogue, which not only adapts to the latest game balance adjustments but also provides players with a diverse gaming experience. As the game develops, we look forward to seeing more innovative and adaptable builds emerge, bringing endless fun and challenges to Diablo 4 players. Finally, a warm reminder: there is a giveaway channel for this game in iGMeet discord. We will post product giveaway information in it from time to time. Remember to be active in the discord group. Maybe there will be equipment you want.Aug-05-2024
