Diablo 4 Season 7 Ancestral Items Farming: How To Collect Them Efficiently? - Running Roothold Dungeons

Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred features updates to gameplay and endgame systems. Players will notice the introduction of the new Torment difficulty system when logging in for the first time, which replaces the original World Tiers. Now, ascending Torment tiers are key to exploring end-game content, while also providing a new way to adjust the challenge of the game to suit personal preferences. By clearing a T20 Pit dungeon, completing the campaign, and diving into higher difficulty challenges, players can unlock the most powerful gear in Diablo 4. Welcome Back, Torment Torment is an elective difficulty system introduced in Diablo 4. Players can unlock four Torment difficulty levels in the endgame. Each level significantly increases the challenge by increasing the monster’s damage and health and decreasing the player’s survivability. Torment difficulty enables access to Ancestral items and can be master worked. Therefore, collecting a complete set of Ancestral gear becomes the key to dealing with the hardest Torment difficulties. Torment Difficulty Tiers Players will face four Torment difficulty tiers. As the difficulty increases, the health and attack power of all enemies will increase accordingly. In addition, higher Torment tiers also impose survivability debuffs on player characters. Specifically, in Torment IV, for example, players need to double their armor and resistance in order to survive the endgame. While the effects of these curses can be mitigated through Paragon passives and gems, some top-tier gear may need to be played on Torment III or have higher difficulty to obtain and function. Unlock Torment Tiers Players need to unlock Torment Tiers by completing Pit, a timed dungeon located in Cerrigar. This endgame activity can be attempted after the campaign. Players must complete at least T20 Pit challenge. Higher difficulties require completing correspondingly higher Pit tiers to unlock. It’s unclear whether these unlocks are tied to accounts, but Pit tiers are. Once T20 Pit is cleared, players can immediately begin experiencing the first Torment option. The pit tier corresponding to each torment tier can be used as an indicator to measure difficulty. If your equipment configuration can easily handle T20 Pit, then you should also be able to handle the first Torment difficulty with ease. The difficulty increase from Torment I to Torment II is relatively small. You only need to strengthen the equipment with some Legendary aspects to pass the level smoothly. The difficulty of Torment II is roughly equivalent to the level of T80-100 Nightmare Dungeons in Season 5. If your configuration is strong enough, you can survive this difficulty. Torment III’s difficulty is comparable to Wave 8 Infernal Hordes, which requires players to have an optimized setup. The difficulty of Torment IV is comparable to T100 Pit in Season 5. The enemies here are more powerful than Torment III, and players must have the perfect optimal configuration to deal with them. Torment Difficulty Rewards While increasing the difficulty doesn’t significantly increase rewards like previous World Tiers, it does bring some extra rewards. The most obvious changes are the increased drop chances of Ancestral items and Diablo 4 Gold, which, aside from Mythic Uniques, is one of the best pieces of gear in the game. Torment difficulties do affect the drop rate of Ancestral gear. As the Torment tier increases, the chance of obtaining these Ancestral gear also increases. In personal testing in the pre-release build, although there were not many Ancestral items obtained directly from monsters, the chance of obtaining Ancestral items through caches or activity clears increased significantly. Additionally, in order to experience some of Diablo 4’s endgame content, specifically challenges such as Infernal Hordes and Dark Citadel, players will need to reach at least Torment I. What Are Ancestral Items? Ancestral items are more powerful variations of pre-existing Legendary and Unique gear. These Ancestral gears are available under Torment difficulties. The mechanics are now similar to previous seasons of Diablo 4, but Ancestral items are far more valuable than average Legendary. Its advantages are as follows: 800 Item Power: All Ancestral items have a base damage value of 800, which is the highest value in the game. Greater Affixes: Ancestral gear will have at least one Greater Affix, and random affixes will be boosted by 50%. Masterwork Limit: You can master an Ancestral item up to 12 times. A fully upgraded Ancestral item may be twice as powerful as a regular Legendary, and even more powerful if you’re lucky enough to get multiple Greater Affixes. Uniques may also appear as Ancestral items and enjoy the same benefits. Mythic Uniques now always appear as Ancestral gear. All Ancestral items you find will have at least a white asterisk Greater Affix, indicating that the attribute is more powerful than usual. Greater Affix will maximize its attribute values ​​and increase its strength by 50%. Legendary gear can have up to three Greater Affixes. Uniques can have up to four Greater Affixes. Although you can directly participate in other activities in the game after the campaign is over, increasing the difficulty of the game is an indispensable step in order to obtain Ancestral gear. In addition, you can follow Giveaway channel in iGMeet discord, which will release information about Diablo 4 related product gifts from time to time. Remember to be active in the discord group.

If you have been playing Diablo 4 since Season 2, you must be familiar with Echo of Varshan. It has been the endgame boss of this game since then. Like other endgame bosses, Echo of Varshan will also provide you with some very useful loot for your endgame builds. But in fact, defeating Echo of Varshan is not a simple task. You need to collect some rare summoning materials and summon it at a designated location before you can start your fight with it. If you have not yet explored this terrible boss, this guide will show you how to summon it and take its loot smoothly. How To Find Echo Of Varshan? The first thing you need to understand is that Echo of Varshan will appear in World Tier 3 or World Tier 4, so your character must also reach this Tier to participate in the subsequent battle. Once your character and build are strong enough, you can head to Tree of Whispers Waypoint, and you’ll find a cave called Malignant Burrow behind a tree. In the cave, there’s a path that leads you to a small dungeon. At the end of the dungeon, there’s an altar, which is where you place your summoning materials. In Diablo 4 Season 5, you can fight two variants of Echo of Varshan - the standard variant and Tormented variant. For the standard Echo of Varshan, you’ll need to provide 2 Malignant Hearts in World Tier 3 and 5 Malignant Hearts in World Tier 4, while for Tormented Echo of Varshan, you’ll need to provide 15 Malignant Hearts and a Stygian Stone obtained from The Pit. These summoning materials all require you to fight a few battles to get them, so before you start farming for them, you’ll also want to make sure your build is strong enough to get through Sanctuary. If not, upgrade it as soon as possible using Diablo 4 Gold. How To Get Malignant Hearts? Currently, you can farm Malignant Hearts in a number of ways. The first is to perform Grim Favors, which will give you some Malignant Hearts from Tree of Whispers caches. In addition, every Grotesque Debtor that spawns around Whispers and World Bosses has a chance to drop some Malignant Hearts. When a Grotesque Debtor spawns, you will find a signal in the text bulletin at the top of the screen, which you can use to maximize your farming efficiency. Alternatively, you can find some Malignant Hearts in Helltide Chests, Infernal Hordes, or Nightmare Dungeons. How To Defeat Echo Of Varshan? Although Echo of Varshan is not the most challenging boss in the game, you still need to learn some combat skills and strategies before fighting it. Here are the things you need to pay attention to when fighting it. Enhance Shadow Resistance Before fighting, you need to know that Echo of Varshan will launch some arcane assaults on you, so you need to enhance some magical defenses accordingly. If you can’t reach 70% Shadow Resistance cap in your build, you can try to use Potent Elixir of Shadow Resistance to help you complete this defense build. Pay Attention To Your Position Between You And Boss During the battle, Echo of Varshan is very flexible and will appear near you unexpectedly and cause damage to you, so you need to pay attention to your position between you and the boss. The best position is to be behind Echo of Varshan so that its frontal attacks on you will not be effective. Pay Attention To Some Void Zones Besides arcane assaults, Echo of Varshan will also generate triangular void zones for you. These areas will adjust in real time according to the direction of the boss’s movement, and once you enter these areas, you will be very damaged. So you also need to pay attention to the direction of these areas. Initial Elite Adds During the battle, Echo of Varshan will also summon two powerful Elites to help it knock you down. At this point, you should focus on the two Elites, not the boss. Because they will also do a lot of damage to you and will cause your health to decline faster. Echo Of Varshan’s Loot When you use different classes, the loot you get from Echo of Varshan will also be different. You can refer to the following list for specific loot. However, it should be noted that not all Uniques will appear in a battle, but there is a chance to appear. The same is true for Mythic Uniques dropped by Tormented Echo of Varshan. In the change of endgame bosses drop rate in Season 5, all Tormented variants of Boss have only 7.5% chance to drop Mythic Uniques. If your goal is only Mythic Uniques and the build is strong enough, you can directly challenge Tormented Echo of Varshan. Barbarian: Fields of Crimson & 100,000 Steps & Gohr’s Devastating Grips & Ring of Red Furor Druid: Mad Wolf’s Glee & Vasily’s Prayer & Greatstaff of the Crone & Airidah’s Inexorable Will Necromancer: Bloodless Scream & Deathless Visage & Deathspeaker’s Pendant & Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul Rogue: Condemnation & Eyes in the Dark & Skyhunter & Writhing Band of Trickery Sorcerer: Staff of Endless Rage & Esu’s Heirloom & Raiment of the Infinite & Tal Rasha’s Iridescent Loop All Class: Frostburn & Mother’s Embrace About Mythic Unique Items Doombringer Grandfather Melted Heart of Selig Andariel’s Visage Harlequin Crest Tyrael’s Might Ring of Starless Skies The above is an introduction to some summoning methods, combat skills and loot for Echo of Varshan in Diablo 4 Season 5. Hopefully, this guide will make your battle with this boss easier. The next season and DLC for Diablo 4 will be announced soon. If you have any interest in them, you can discuss them in iGMeet Discord. In addition, you can also participate in a lottery and have a chance to win some summoning materials needed for the boss. The list of winners will be announced on September 18th. Good luck!

The highly anticipated meeting of Diablo 4 Season 5 with many players is officially scheduled for August 6, 2024. From the many known information, players can’t wait to enter the game experience. Among them, the most discussed is Infernal Hordes, which is a wave-based game mode in this season. In the Season 5 PTR some time ago, many players have already experienced this new mode first. This guide will tell you what you will encounter in the official version of Infernal Hordes and how you should deal with it based on the content of the previous PTR. Then come and take a look! What Is Infernal Hordes? Infernal Hordes in Season 5 is a wave-based combat activity with a little rogue-like touch. In this activity, you will be asked to fight against enemies who attack you continuously, and they will even attack you as a wave, which can generate Aetheric Events. As you complete these events, you can earn Boons to increase your combat power. Eventually you’ll face off against Fell Council, and defeating them will earn you the ultimate reward. As you progress through the Tier of Infernal Horde, the number of Waves you need to clear will increase, with one wave added per level. This means you’ll get more Burning Aether from more waves, but the monsters will also become more powerful. How To Enter Infernal Hordes? Before you can enter Infernal Hordes, you’ll need to complete Eyes of Enemy quest near Zarbinzet in Hawezar. You’ll get Locran’s Talisman Unique Amulet and a Tier 1 Infernal Compass at the end of the quest. Remember this Infernal Compass, it’ll be very useful later in your quest. There are 8 levels of Infernal Compasses in Infernal Hordes. The first three are natural drops, and the next 5 require you to use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 3 Compass. Here are the specific levels of Infernal Compasses: Tier 1: Obtained from Whisper Caches, Helltide Chests and Nightmare Dungeons (WT3). You need to fight monsters of level 50-70 here. Tier 2: Obtained from Whisper Caches, Helltide Chests and Nightmare Dungeons (WT4). You need to fight monsters of level 70-100 here. Tier 3: Obtained from Whisper Caches, Helltide Chests and Nightmare Dungeons (WT4 at Level 100). You need to fight monsters of level 100 here. Tier 4: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 3 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 120 monsters. Tier 5: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 4 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 140 monsters. Tier 6: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 5 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 160 monsters. Tier 7: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 6 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 180 monsters. Tier 8: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 7 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 200 monsters. Abyssal Scrolls can be obtained through Spoils of Hell or salvaging Infernal Compasses. But you need to note that the number of Abyssal Scrolls obtained when salvaging is determined by Tier of Compass. Starting from Tier 4, an additional Abyssal Scroll will be added for each level upgrade. How Do Infernal Hordes Waves Work? In Infernal Hordes, each wave consists of a group of enemies who will try their best to defeat you. However, it is always in vain. After you defeat these enemies, Aetheric Events will be generated, and you can get Burning Aether in these events. Remember to save your Burning Aether, which is the most important thing in Infernal Hordes and can be exchanged for Spoils of Hell. Each wave lasts about 2 minutes, and the total game lasts about 10 minutes. There is currently no timer that can be displayed on the screen, but you can set a timer somewhere else, such as your phone, so that there is a certain urgency. Aetheric Events After defeating a certain number of enemies in each wave, you will fill up a meter. After filling, these enemies will spawn some events in the current arena. You need to note that the rewards and difficulty of each event are random, but you can use some Boons after each wave to increase the frequency or value of a certain event. Currently, there are 6 Aetheric Events that will appear. Aether Fiends, Aether Lords, Aetheric Masses, Burning Butcher, Hellborne, and Soulspires. Aether Fiends Aether Fiends are very common Elite Monsters. The difference between them and other Aetheric Events is that they will drop some Burning Aether after death. If your class or build cannot easily fight against the boss, you can use Boons to increase the frequency of this event, so that you can get more Burning Aether. But you should also be reminded that not all Aether Fiends are easy to deal with. Some of the rarer ones may make Infernal Horde more difficult. For example, Rashibosh can cause fire damage in a large area, so please be well protected before preparing for the battle. Aether Lords Aether Lords are an upgraded version of Dungeon and Stronghold Bosses in the game, and include all boss types. However, Endgame Boss Ladder is not included. Although you may have seen them in previous seasons and know what their attacks are, you still can’t take them lightly because there are some recent attacks. Most of these additional attacks are an AOE damage or crowd control. Once you reach Tier 3 and above, you will need to use some weapons and builds that can deal with super high damage and make the most of them. As a result, you will get a lot of Burning Aether and a lot of Diablo 4 Gold after defeating Aether Lords. Unlike other Aetheric Events, Aether Lords will only appear when you using Boons. Aetheric Mass Aetheric Mass actually works very similar to Corrupted Spires in Helltide. The surrounding space is divided into 6 sections, and it will only attack three of them at a time. So there will be a certain gap between each damage area, and what you need to do is to defeat Aetheric Mass in these gaps. Similarly, after being destroyed, it will also drop Burning Aether. Burning Butcher In previous seasons, Butcher was a must-have in Hell. In the new Infernal Hordes Mode, Butcher takes on a distinct look, as it adds some fire to its gear. Like Aether Lords, you’ll need to prepare all the gear that can deal with high damage before fighting Burning Butcher. Usually, you will get 25 or more Burning Aether after defeating Burning Butcher. Hellborne You may have seen Hellborne in previous seasons, but unlike Butcher, it has not changed much this season. Hellborne here usually appears in groups of 2 or 3 at a time, so you need to choose weapons or builds that can deal group damage or crowd control. You don’t have to worry about the number of Burning Aethers dropped, because each group will drop Burning Aether after you successfully defeat it, and this event is very reliable, just like Aether Fiends. But you should be aware that Hellborne also requires Boons to appear in Infernal Hordes. Soulspire These are similar to Corrupted Spires in Helltide, but without the health drain. You need to stand near it and defeat a certain number of enemies until it explodes, and you can eventually pick up Burning Aether. Boons Boons in Infernal Hordes always have a duality. You can use them to increase the frequency of a certain event, but you can also increase the strength of the enemies in the event. It depends on which you want more. Fell Council Fell Council is a variation of Council in Diablo 2 that was corrupted and twisted because of Mephisto’s influence. In Diablo 4 Season 5’s Infernal Hordes, the 5 Council members have original attacks, but similarly, each Fell Council can summon Hydras with unique characteristics. You can fight 3 random Hydras after Infernal Hordes ends. This means that you need to be well prepared so that you can quickly enter the battle. The above is some introduction to the new Infernal Hordes Mode in Diablo 4 Season 5. In anticipation, players are welcome to join the player community in Discord to express some insights and opinions. In addition, you can also receive welfare information released by iGMeet Discord while waiting for the official release of Season 5! Come and participate!

Blizzard has released patch 2.7 for Diablo 2 Resurrected ahead of the start of season 4 on May 4. The latest update brings some buffs to the Assassin and Druid classes, as well as a change to the Next Hit Delay system. This change will allow certain skills to land on a single enemy in quick succession where they would have been affected by a shared cooldown before, resulting in improved damage consistency. Additionally, four additional character slots have been added across all online modes, allowing players to partake in season 4 without having to delete any of their old characters. Characters that have been transferred to non-ladder from previous seasons will have their respec counter reset, providing players with more opportunities to experiment with their builds. However, players are advised to transfer any items from ladder season 2 to regular storage before season 4 begins, as they will lose access to these items once the new season starts. Finally, Druids can now shapeshift directly between Werewolf and Werebear forms, making it easier to gain the bonuses from both forms. This is great news for players using the Metamorphosis Diablo 2 Resurrected Runeword introduced last season. This season marks the final season of Diablo 2 Resurrected before the highly anticipated release of Diablo 4. Season 4 is an opportunity for players to start fresh and prove their skills by bringing their favourite class to level 99 faster than anyone else. With the added improvements and changes in patch 2.7, players can look forward to an even more exciting season of Diablo 2 Resurrected. Diablo 2 Resurrected season 4 start date and time
