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

As we all know, Obducite is one of the important materials you need when entering Diablo 4 Season 7 endgame, they can help you quickly upgrade your equipment in order to clear higher Pits or simply dominate Torment 4 and do your favorite grinding activities. Whatever the reason, we all need it, and accumulating a lot of Obducite quickly is the goal of almost every player! As you know, there are 3 sources to get Obducite in Diablo 4. The first and most popular is of course Nightmare Dungeons, then Infernal Hordes, and last but not least is Kurast Undercity using Tribute of Refinement. But which one is the fastest way to get as much Obducite as possible in the shortest time? Here, we will try to answer this question. Nightmare Dungeons First of all, as you know, Nightmare Dungeons have always been one of the best sources of Obducite in Diablo 4, and this is also true in Season 7. But did you know that not all Nightmare Dungeons are the same? It turns out that the amount of XP and Obducite you can get is based on the ranking of Nightmare Dungeon, which depends on the size, layout, and monster density of the dungeon. Therefore, some Nightmare Dungeons are better for you to farm materials than others. However, this ranking changes from season to season, so we will introduce 8 so-called S-tier Nightmare Dungeons in Season 7 that are your best choice for Obducite. For the ranking of these dungeons, we followed two important factors. The first is based on how fast you can clear the dungeon, for this we assume that 3 minutes is the best time for you to clear Nightmare Dungeons, and the other influencing factor is based on the amount of Obducite you can get. Of course, we know that there are many factors that can change the results, but please note that here we exclude the results of encountering Butcher or finding multiple Goblins, so Obducite you can actually get is definitely more considerable than we expect. In the final list of Nightmare Dungeons, you can see that the 8 most suitable dungeons for farming are:  Ancient’s Lament Sarat’s Lair Deserted Underpass Mariner’s Refuge Uldur’s Cave Sirocco Caverns Forsaken Quarry Caldera Gate The good thing about these 8 dungeons is that their layouts are very simple, which means that they either have only one layer like Uldur’s Cave, Forsaken Quarry, Mariner’s Refuge, Sarat’s Lair, and Ancient’s Lament, or if there are 2 layers, the layout feels like walking a straight line, allowing you to clear the dungeon very quickly, just like Deserted Underpass, Sirocco Caverns or Caldera Gate dungeons. The most important thing is that the density of monsters in these dungeons is very high, some of these dungeons are what we call spider-themed dungeons, you know when you kill a spider more spiders will spawn, so these dungeons are the best. Not only can you collect more Obducite from them, but you also have the opportunity to make a good profit of Diablo 4 Gold by group clearing a lot of mobs, killing two birds with one stone! In addition to these, we also found Feeding Grounds, Light’s Watch, and Blind Burrows. The problem with Feeding Grounds and Light’s Watch is that they are both large dungeons, unless you have an excellent fast farming build, it will take you a long time to clear them, and you don’t get much Obducite from these dungeons compared to other dungeons. Blind Burrows is another spider dungeon, very similar to Sarat’s Lair, but Sarat’s Lair is better because it is completed faster. So, if you can choose, it is recommended that you always choose Sarat’s Lair or any other dungeon first. So, taking into account the time it takes to clear a dungeon, teleport back to town, and the loading times, you can earn up to 1,500 Obducite every 4-5 minutes if you farm these dungeons as quickly as possible. That means on average you can run about 12 dungeons per hour and get a total of 18,000 Obducite. The problem here, though, is that these Dungeon Keys are random drops, and even if you can craft them, that can affect your farming efficiency. Infernal Hordes The second method brings us to our beloved Infernal Hordes. Obducite has been given an enormous boost this season, with Hellborne option appearing more often than ever before. This is great because even if you have a really bad speed farming build like Blood Wave Necromancer, you should still get 800 to 900 Burning Aether every 10 waves, for an average of 4,500 Obducite per run. I think better builds should be able to get around 1200 Aether on average, since they will be completing Infernal Hordes in a shorter time. This means that in one hour you should get between 17,000 and 20,000 Obducite. If we compare this amount to the 18,000, you can get in Nightmare Dungeon, you can almost say they are about the same. Kurast Undercity We come to the last contender, which is Kurast Undercity with Tribute of Refinement. As you know, Kurast Undercity just appeared last season, and you can get Mythic Uniques, materials, and Obducite from it, depending on the type of Tribute you use. To get Obducite, you need Tribute of Refinement, and according to our data, these Tributes are currently the best source for Obducite. In 30 minutes, we did a total of 8 dungeon runs and got a whopping 16,000 Obducite. Note that these runs took place at Torment level 4, but we are not sure if Torment level makes a difference in Obducite drops. As you can see, our farming method was to ignore all enemies and activate Beacons, and if for some reason we didn’t reach the highest level in the last part, we killed some enemies, just to make sure we always had maximum coordination. Once again, the build we used was not optimized for fast clearing, so you also got that amount of Obducite with your build. This means that if you use a fast farming build, in 1 hour you can easily get even close to 30,000 Obducite! Ridiculous! However, there is a minor problem, and that is finding Tribute. You need to complete Dark Citadel, get Tree of Whispers caches, or you can always do Infernal Hordes and exchange the remaining Aether for Obducite, Gem Fragments, and you will definitely get 1 Tribute of Refinement. That’s it! Finally, please tell us which method is better for you? Do you have a scavenging build that helps you farm Obducite faster? Do you have any other better farming tips to share? See you next time!

As the release of Diablo 4 Season 7 approaches, the developers have released another pre-season patch, which adds some groundbreaking game content - ADS (Adaptive Difficulty Scaling) and AR (Augmented Reality). These two innovative technologies have greatly changed the gameplay of Diablo 4, which has been criticized by players and requires constant experience and may subvert previous game concepts. After the release of this patch, many Diablo 4 players are more excited and looking forward to the arrival of Season 7. However, since the official patch notes may be a little obscure, in this guide we will integrate the roles of these two cutting-edge technologies in the game based on the existing information and what kind of help they will bring to players. About ADS First, let’s take a look at ADS, the full name of which is Adaptive Difficulty Scaling. It will use a very advanced machine learning algorithm to adjust the game difficulty dynamically according to the player’s personal skill level and game style. Therefore, this personalized gameplay setting allows both new players who are new to action role-playing games and veteran players who are familiar with the entire game process to get a balanced gaming experience. In addition, unlike traditional leveling systems, Diablo 4 with ADS can track player performance in Season 7 and modify enemy strength, loot drop rate, and even the difficulty of mission challenges. For example, if your current level is low, the strength of the enemies you need to kill when exploring a certain area may also decrease, and the amount of Diablo 4 Gold you get from it may increase, so that you can use it to enhance your build. In this case, your exploration in this game will always be attractive to you, and you may even feel that you can break through some limits within your controllable ability. Most importantly, with the blessing of this technology, you will no longer experience those tedious farming and grinding processes. However, the addition of this ADS function to the game may confuse players who are used to grinding, because the potential unpredictable difficulty adjustment will make these players overturn the builds and methods used in previous seasons, and re-establish a complete gameplay strategy, which may be a huge challenge. In addition, players need to learn some curved gameplay dynamics under this function to adapt to the non-static game difficulty and enemy strength in Season 7. In this case, just keep the attack and defense balance in your build, so your build should have a balanced state of many attributes and statistics. Some element types you focus on can be strengthened by some specialized Diablo 4 Items. About AR The ADS function just introduced is the impact on the gameplay and mechanism in Diablo 4, while AR (full name is Augmented Reality) is a function that has a significant impact on the entire game screen and played experience. In this new technology, players are allowed to use their mobile devices to scan the surrounding environment and superimpose game elements on the real world environment. It blends the traditional role-playing experience with the latest augmented reality technology to create a game that seamlessly mixes the virtual and real world. This is also a change in the way players experience the dark fantasy world in Sanctuary that they want to achieve. Although this feature did not appear in the previous Season 7 PTR, and not many players have experienced this feature yet, you can imagine that you bring the demon battle you need to complete in Sanctuary into your living room or a large open space, where you will have a very immersive exploration. Most importantly, this breaks the prejudice that many people have about playing games and hurting the body. AR will support you to leave the computer desk and replace sitting for a long time with some interactive sports, which greatly increases your sense of fun in exploration. What’s more, this feature redefines the narrative process and experience of traditional MMO games, turning mundane everyday scenes into special in-game experiences. Of course, in addition to the visual effects in Diablo 4, AR feature will also be combined with spatial audio to provide 360-degree soundscapes that adapt to different real-world settings, making each AR session unique and extremely interesting. Like ADS feature, AR also has some drawbacks. First, not all mobile devices support all advanced AR features, and the quality of the AR experience may also vary depending on the environment and hardware specifications, which may limit access for some players. However, according to current market feedback, AR technology is becoming more and more mainstream and is used more and more frequently in such games, so it is possible that in the near future, most players will use mobile devices that support AR technology to explore Diablo 4. The above are some changes that may occur in the gameplay and game experience of Diablo 4 Season 7 according to the patch released some time ago. In fact, the addition of these two new features shows that in the future, games are not only about playing games but also about experiencing games. Every request made by players will indirectly affect the game world. More importantly, developers can carefully extract players’ feedback on game content. Here, I would like to remind you that before starting the exploration of Season 7, you may need to ensure that your game product inventory is sufficient for your character to explore smoothly and easily at the beginning of the season. If you lack necessary products such as gold or items, you can get free products in the giveaway channel in iGMeet Discord, which will make your exploration experience better.

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!

It has been almost two months since the release of Diablo 4 Season 6 and DLC Vessel of Hatred. If you have experienced them or paid attention to the relevant news, you will know that both works have received a lot of praise during the release period. However, as time goes by, Season 7 is not far away from you. In order to make you better adapt to the next season and fix some deficiencies in Season 6 and DLC, the game developer announced through a recent campfire chat that Diablo 4 2.1 PTR will be opened on December 3. In this way, relevant data and feedback can be collected to ensure the balance, functionality and suitability of the new content. Among all the known updates of 2.1 PTR, the changes of the new class Spiritborn are undoubtedly the most eye-catching. As a new class launched in Vessel of Hatred, it has always shown stronger performance than other classes. Although this allows players who play Spiritborn to no longer need to obtain some additional weapons, effectively saving Diablo 4 Gold, it destroys the balance of the game. With that in mind, we’ll take a look at the overall changes coming to 2.1 PTR, with an emphasis on Spiritborn’s various tweaks. 2.1 PTR Overview While Season 6 brought some welcome additions, the game’s developers say Season 7 will once again pack a ton of new content. The next season is expected to launch in January 2025, and in a campfire chat, the game’s producers revealed much of what you can expect in the new year, and a detailed description of the newly released PTR patch. New Features And Highlights The 2.1 PTR will be available from December 3 to December 10, 2024. Major highlights include the new Armory - an area in town where you can save or swap character builds with other players. The second new addition is Witchcraft powers, including Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth and Decay. Also coming soon is the dreaded Headrotten, a new enemy available to you in Headhunt sub-area. Moreover, thanks to 2.1 PTR, Diablo 4 will later feature weaponized amphibians that you can summon using Witchcraft. In addition, if you defeat Headrotten boss in 2.1 PTR, you will get new insertable Occult gems, new runes, many legendary aspects, and new unique items that all classes can use. Promote Communication Between Players And Officials In fact, if you and more other players participate in the experience of 2.1 PTR and are willing to submit relevant feedback, it will be beneficial for the official construction of the seventh season of the game, and you will get a better experience in the next season. Based on this, you can share your views through the in-game feedback tool or visit Diablo 4 PTR forum. Related: Diablo 4 Promotions & Giveaways With Season 6 coming to an end on January 21, you will first get familiar with the new features of Season 7 after participating in PTR. Although all elements of PTR are still under development and may change, it is certain that most of the fresh content will be waiting for you in the full version in early 2025. Adjustments And Changes To Spiritborn Since its launch, there have been feedbacks that Spiritborn, as a new class, has too much power. In response to this, the game developers first made preliminary adjustments in the mid-term update of Season 6, and said that they would further optimize in Season 7 to ensure the balance of the game. Therefore, 2.1 PTR is the pre-test content of Season 7, which naturally includes various changes to Spiritborn. Skills Adjustments Spiritborn can use many skills. In order to balance the abilities of this class, some of its available skills have been adjusted as follows: Enhanced Thunderspike: Vitality generation increased from 5 to 7. Accelerated Thunderspike: Vulnerability duration increased from 2 seconds to 3 seconds. Sharp Thrash: Ferocity gain increased from 1 to 2. Stinger: Damage increased from 70% to 77%. Enhanced Stinger: Damage increased from 50% of base damage to 60%. Concussive Stomp: Damage increased from 40% to 50%. Enhanced Concussive Stomp: Maximum barrier increased from 30% of maximum health to 40%. Invasive Payback: Cooldown reduced from 15 seconds to 8 seconds. Touch of Death: The group ignores invincible enemies. Razor Wings: Maximum active Razor Wings increased from 12 to 15. Changes To Spirit Hall As one of the important mechanisms available to Spiritborn, Spirit Hall has also received many changes. Take Centipede Primary Spirit Hall as an example. In the past, when you hit an enemy with Centipede skill, its damage would be reduced by 2.5%, and it would be slowed by 10% for 3 seconds, which could be stacked up to 8 times. When you enter 2.1 PTR, hitting an enemy with Centipede will reduce its damage by 2%, slow it by 10%, and cause 70% poison damage in 6 seconds, which can be stacked up to 8 times. In addition, the delay before the rewards of Eagle Secondary Spirit Hall are reset has been increased from 2 seconds to 4 seconds. In fact, the entire 2.1 PTR update content covers all aspects and is very rich. It is completely worth your experience. After all, this will also help you prepare for Season 7 in advance. In addition, if you want to accumulate more game materials recently, you can enter iGMeet Discord, where the eighth giveaway event for Diablo 4 Season 6 is being held. It is worth noting that today is the last day of the event. We will draw 20 players to get an average of 5000 Andariel Materials, 5000 Duriel Materials, 20000 Living Steel and 20000 Exquisite Blood!
