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.

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 DLC: What Are The ...
Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred brings players a brand new adventure, not only deepening the game’s story background but also greatly enriching the game’s content by introducing the character of Neyrelle and her exploration journey in Nahantu jungle. In addition, the expansion also adds a very powerful profession - Spiritborn, which has attracted the attention of many players with its unique skills and combat style. Vessel of Hatred has also made a lot of optimizations and improvements to the basic game experience, making the whole game smoother and more attractive. However, besides the obvious changes mentioned above, Vessel of Hatred has quietly added three new monster families, bringing players an unprecedented challenge experience. The three newly added monsters are Hollows, Dregs, and Lacuni. Although Lacuni is not a completely unfamiliar existence, it has made a brief appearance in the previous game. Read this guide to learn more about each new monster family. Hollows The birth of Hollows is closely related to Neyrelle’s adventure. As Neyrelle travels deep into the mysterious jungles of Nahantu, she accidentally touches Mephisto’s soul stone and is burned by the powerful corruption it emanates. In an attempt to ease the pain, she dips her injured hand and soul stone into water in an attempt to cool them down. However, this action has an unexpected consequence, as Mephisto’s corruption quickly spreads across the entire Nahantu region. Over time, this black, tar-like corruption gradually coalesces and forms into Hollows. These creatures, made of corrupt matter, are numerous and extremely aggressive, and they begin to pose a great threat to the people and cities in the surrounding area. Players will first encounter this new family of monsters shortly after meeting Raheir. With such powerful and strange enemies, it may be a good idea to obtain more Diablo 4 Gold to equip your character faster. Dregs Another new family of monsters that attracts attention are Dregs. Unlike other creatures in the game, Dregs are not born monsters, but are actually once humans. These unfortunate souls were driven into a state of uncontrollable psychosis by tasting a hallucinogen found in Nahantu’s flora and fauna. Over time, these once normal humans gradually lost their minds and became one enemy that players face in the game today. They roam the deep jungles of Nahantu and have become a threat that cannot be ignored. Lacuni Lacuni are the only creatures that are familiar to veteran players of the series. However, this race has undergone significant changes throughout the development of Diablo series, and has undergone major adjustments and evolutions in both appearance and combat style, making their return a familiar and fresh experience for players. Lacuni are highly intelligent and aggressive feline bipedal creatures, commonly referred to as “Panther-men” or “Sabre Cats.” Lacuni social structure is similar to the group model of lions, showing the characteristics of a patriarchal society. In this system, male Lacuni are usually more robust and stronger, which makes them naturally take on the role of leaders in the tribe. In contrast, female Lacuni have shown excellent hunting skills and become an indispensable female hunter within the family. The origins of Lacuni can be traced back to Kehjistan, where they originally maintained a relatively harmonious relationship with humans. There was frequent exchange of goods between the two races, forming a mutually beneficial situation. However, the good times did not last long. As time went by, especially around Darkening of Tristram, because of some unknown reasons, the relationship between the two sides deteriorated sharply, and Lacuni began to show strong hostility towards the surrounding world. Since then, this once friendly race has gradually developed into one of the most well-known and threatening existences in Diablo series. In Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred, this classic monster family appears again. This time they appear in Teganze Plateau area of the new Nahantu region. Here, Lacuni will not only use traditional melee weapons to attack but also use long-range means such as javelins and throwing grenades to fight against players who dare to enter their territory. It is worth noting that Lacuni first appeared in Diablo 2, and it is particularly appropriate that they return this time and become one of the main enemies of Nahantu - because Nahantu is also one map that was first introduced to the game world in Diablo 2. This design consistency not only enhances the consistency of the storyline of the entire series but also makes old players feel familiar, while also attracting new players to explore more about the story behind this world. By introducing these new monster families, Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred not only provides players with a richer and more diverse gaming experience but also deepens the game’s story background and worldview. Hollows, Dregs, and Lacuni each have unique background stories and combat styles. Their existence not only increases the complexity and challenge of the game but also brings new exploration fun to players. In order to defeat them more easily, you can follow Giveaway channel in iGMeet discord, which will release information about Diablo 4 related products from time to time.

Diablo 4 Season 6: How To G ...
In Diablo 4 Season 6, Rogue has undergone a major overhaul, with significant improvements in agility and damage. This has made Penetrating Shot Rogue build, which focuses on high burst damage, the choice of many players. In this build, you only need to use a few accurate shots to defeat the enemy easily. For the endgame build with stronger survivability and damage capabilities, defeating some medium-difficulty enemies is no problem at all. But it is precisely because the difficulty of enemies or bosses in the endgame content will be much more difficult than the leveling stage, so it is very important to choose the most suitable skills and items for them. If you still have no idea and don’t want to invest too much trial-and-error costs, then this guide will be your best helper. Here, you will be introduced to how to choose the best build items in this Penetrating Shot Rogue endgame build so that it can be used to its maximum effectiveness. Skills Penetrating Shot is a pretty simple piercing arrow on its own, but if you combine it with Umbracrux dagger and Trickshot Aspect, this arrow becomes a nuke that can knock down a ton of enemies! But be careful with positioning. As the more enemies you hit in the path of this arrow, the more damage you will do. So your skills and passives are all about making sure this arrow is accurate, and secondly, focus on stacking Critical Strike Damage. This way the entire build will have the maximum damage to enemies, so you can quickly complete some exploration tasks and pick up Diablo 4 Gold dropped by enemies. Here are some skills and passives you can place in the skill tree for Penetrating Shot Rogue endgame build. Note that the skill point numbers here are for reference only, and you can change them appropriately based on your play style. Active Skills Puncture - 1 Smoke Grenade - 1 Penetrating Shot - 5 Shadow Step - 1 Dash - 1 Poison Imbuement - 1 Death Trap - 5 Dark Shroud - 5 Passive Skills Sturdy - 3 Siphoning Strikes - 3 Stutter Steps - 2 Weapon Mastery - 3 Unstable Elixirs - 3 Trick Attacks - 3 Rapid Gambits - 1 Agile - 2 Exploit - 3 Malice - 3 Frigid Finesse - 3 Innervation - 3 Second Wind - 3 Precision - 1 Rugged - 3 Balestra - 1 Aftermath - 1 Victimize - 1 Best Rotation Once you have all your skills equipped, you can start beating some low-level enemies to determine which rotation is best for you. But if you just want to deal the most damage, you can use Heartseeker to accumulate combo points first, and then cast Death Trap to group enemies together for maximum damage later. After that, you can deploy Poison Trap to poison the enemies, which will increase their damage to subsequent attacks and trigger fancy totems from Umbracrux. Next, you can use Shadow Step or Dash to enter the battle perfectly and activate Tricks of the Trade, which will help you increase your bonus damage. Finally, cast Penetrating Shot to penetrate those already dying enemies and make them deal the final blow. So the best Specialization setup in this Penetrating Shot Rogue endgame build is Combo Points, which will allow your Heartseeker to accumulate points at a faster rate, which is the origin of everything. Best Legendary Aspects After choosing skills, it’s time to start choosing Diablo 4 Items. The first thing we’ll cover is Legendary Aspects, because they are very important to the damage and survivability of the entire build. Here are some of Legendary Aspects you can choose in this Penetrating Shot Rogue endgame build. Trickshot: Whenever a Penetrating Shot deals damage to an enemy, two additional arrows branch off on either side. These side arrows deal a percentage of Penetrating Shot’s base damage and do not branch. Rapid: Increases attack speed of basic skills. Edgemaster’s: Skills now deal increased damage based on your Primary Resource when activated. Might: The basic skill grants damage reduction. Expectant: After attacking an enemy with a basic skill, the damage to the next core skill will be increased. Energizing: Dealing damage to an elite enemy with a basic skill generates 4 energy. Protector: Dealing damage to elite enemies grants you a barrier that absorbs the damage. Wind Striker: Critical strikes give you an additional movement speed boost. Aspect of Unstable Imbuements: When you activate an Imbuement Skill, an explosion occurs around you. Enshrouding: Using a Healing Potion will create a free Dark Shroud Shadow. Umbrous Aspect: Critical strikes grant a free Dark Shroud Shadow. Crowded Sage: Increase your chances of dodging. Dodging also restores your maximum life. Concussive Strikes: When you damage an enemy, you can Daze them. Accelerating: Critical attacks using core skills increase attack speed. Elements: Increased damage against a range of damage types, switching between Fire, Lightning, Physical and Cold, Poison, Shadow. Best Gear After you equip Legendary Aspects, the next step is your gear. As before, your gear should still focus on your Critical Strikes and the mobility of your Penetrating Shot Rogue endgame build. So you can choose the following items based on these criteria. Runic Skullcap of Might - Helm Shroud of False Death - Chest Trickshot Runic Gloves - Glove Umbrous Runic Leggings - Pants Runic Cleats of Concussive Strikes - Boots Edgemaster’s Warcaster - Ranged Weapon Obsidian Blade of the Expectant - Melee Weapon Obsidian Blade of Elements - Melee Weapon Rapid Necklace - Amulet Accelerating Band - Ring Ring of Retribution - Ring The above are some of the build options for how to make the Penetrating Shot Rogue endgame build into a powerful build in Diablo 4 Season 6. It is worth mentioning that Penetrating Shot Rogue build not only performs well in leveling and endgame content but also can win you a lot of battles in PVP with its high burst damage and accuracy. If you have questions about other builds of Rogue Class or have experience to share, you are welcome to communicate in iGMeet Discord!

Diablo 4 DLC: What Have Pla ...
Since its release, Diablo 4 has been a solid and enjoyable experience. The game has received multiple updates, and one of the biggest upcoming changes is the much-anticipated first DLC, Vessel of Hatred. The expansion promises to bring new content and challenges, from the upcoming Mephisto to the unprecedented new class Spiritborn, which heralds a new chapter for the game. Diablo 4 2.0 Public Test Realm (PTR) has been open from September 4th to 11th, and its purpose is to conduct functional testing for the release of DLC and Season 6. After testing by many players, it was concluded that Vessel of Hatred needs significant improvements in multiplayer, which is currently one of the weaker aspects of Diablo 4. In addition, one player has created a Diablo 4 hero that can defeat the most challenging boss with just one attack. Of course, with a glitch or two, this power level can be further increased to where the game refuses to calculate the result. Next, let’s inspect these issues in Vessel of Hatred. Fail To Incentivize A Social Experience Multiplayer is a clear weakness of Diablo 4. When comparing the experience of single-player and co-op players, the gap is quite significant. A whopping 85% of Diablo 4 players prefers single-player games. Given the event design included in the game and the support for co-op play, it is clear that the game development team wants to provide players with an interactive online experience. However, it seems that not only is the game lacking incentives such as Diablo 4 Gold, but forming a team is also quite cumbersome. Although the game supports cross-platform play, which in theory should increase the player base that can team up, the actual cross-platform cooperative experience does not seem to have achieved the expected effect. For example, when PC players try to communicate with console players without headphones, the fun of this social interaction is almost completely lost, and it is even worse than playing with NPCs. This problem seems to be particularly prominent in Diablo 4. With the upcoming expansion Vessel of Hatred, improving co-op should be a priority. Major Quality Of Life Upgrade Coming with Vessel of Hatred is a major quality of life upgrade that may solve the multiplayer dilemma. With the upcoming Party Finder being one of the most promising updates. Finding a group to play with has been a frustrating issue in Diablo 4 for players who enjoy co-op play. Players are hoping that Party Finder feature will be a change that makes Diablo 4 a wonderful experience for both single-player and multiplayer fans. Diablo 4 still needs a variety of quality-of-life features, and Party Finder is a positive start. Party Finder allows for a lot of customization. Instead of being matched with any open group, players can be very specific about their preferences, including specifying the type of group you want to join, choosing the game mode or activity you want to participate in, specifying a preferred play area, and setting preferences based on whether you are a casual player or a perfectionist. Party Finder will be released with Vessel of Hatred, but it will be available to all players without having to spend money to get the expansion. As Diablo 4 continues to develop, Vessel of Hatred promises to bring new life to the game, and it will be exciting to see how Party Finder changes the game’s cooperative experience. Infinite Damage Glitch Diablo 4 is a game about dealing massive amounts of damage by swinging your weapon. However, one fan, through a good understanding of the game’s mechanics and careful character building, has created a Barbarian build on PTR that has a lot of power. With the help of a glitch or two, this power level can be further increased to where the game refuses to calculate the result. This Barbarian build can turn damage numbers into infinity, a process that requires players to equip unique armor that increases the amount of damage Barbarian deals when hit, namely Thorn damage. Whirlwind ability triggers the glitch, which has the potential to break Diablo 4 and deal infinite damage. Whether this infinite damage glitch will leave PTR is questionable. While the glitch is extremely difficult to implement and requires a lot of resources, if someone successfully exploits this glitch in Diablo 4, it could have a catastrophic impact on the entire game. The development team needs to fix it now with Vessel of Hatred on the horizon. The community will probably come up with many convoluted ways to break the action-RPG before the release of Diablo 4’s first major expansion on October 8, and with the addition of items and an original character class in Vessel of Hatred, there should be more opportunities to create super-powerful builds. We look forward to seeing how Diablo 4 continues to grow and brings more exciting experiences to players, and if you’re missing certain items or gear while exploring Diablo 4, you can follow Giveaway channel in iGMeet discord and be more active in the discord group, which will post Diablo 4 product giveaway information from time to time.Sep-13-2024
