Diablo 4 Season 7 Grim Favors Farming Guide: How To Farm Them In Headhunts?

As we all know, Grim Favors, as an important resource in Diablo 4 Season 7, is essential for advancing the overall game progress and completing character build. So, do you want to know how to farm them effectively and how to choose the best farming location? Don’t miss this guide!

Why Farm Headhunts?

First of all, when it comes to farming Grim Favors, the best way must be to clear Headhunt area. Why? In fact, the answer is very simple.

Headhunt area is a new area in Season 7, where you will find everything you need to achieve the goals of the new season endgame, including key materials to upgrade your Witch Powers to the highest level. More importantly, get the materials needed to make Occult Gems and farm Grim Favors, which will improve your reputation in The Coven.

The Best Strategy To Run Headhunt Efficiently

Next, we will show you a method that will allow you to get 1000 to 1200 Grim Favors per hour. What you do is jump from one Headhunt area to another to collect as many materials as possible. This method is much better than staying in one Headhunt area until it expires.

To try this strategy, you first open the map, search for a Headhunt area with a low remaining time but no less than 10 minutes, so that you have enough time to farm it as well as possible and head there.

Once you arrive, you need to perform Whispers. Once you have collected them, you ignore everything else and jump directly to another area. Following this method, you can probably farm 4 to 6 Headhunt areas per hour.

Grim Favors Multiplier

In addition to this, one thing we need to know is the number of Grim Favors you can get per Torment level. To explain this as simply as possible, you only need to understand a multiplier here.

Let’s say you killed a Blood Maiden, at Torment 1, a Blood Maiden is worth 5 Grim Favors, but multiplied by 10, so killing a Blood Maiden gives you 50 Grim Favors. At Torment 4, a Blood Maiden is still worth 5 Grim Favors, but the multiplier is 20, so this will give us 100 Grim Favors.

To make things easier, the following list of Whispers you need to farm already shows the multiplier. So don’t panic when you see that you need to collect 1000 Grim Favors, that’s the equivalent of killing a Blood Maiden or Seething Abomination or Fugitive Heads 10 times in Torment 4.

Here are the 5 Whispers you should complete in each Headhunt area:

1. Fugitive Whisper

• Normal: 5 Grim Favors
• Torment 1 (x10): 50 Grim Favors
• Torment 4 (x20): 100 Grim Favors

Your main goal in each Headhunt area is to kill the enemies in the area, they may spawn two types of bosses, the first is Headless Husk, and the other is Fugitive Heads. As the name suggests, the difference between the two is that one will drop Heads and the other will not. Just like Blood Maiden in Helltide, you can farm these bosses endlessly, but to do so, you need to click on Exposed Roots that have a chance to spawn an Uprooted Cacoon.

The good thing about grinding these bosses is that we no longer need to spend time collecting summoning materials, all you need to do is complete activities in the area and interact with Exposed Root, this alone will give you a chance to spawn an Uprooted Cacoon. In simple terms, when you are in the area, an orange Cacoon icon and notification will appear on the map, please immediately drop what you are doing and go to that place to kill the boss.

2. Harvest Whisper

• Normal: 3 Grim Favors
• Torment 1 (x10): 30 Grim Favors
• Torment 4 (x20): 60 Grim Favors

This Whisper will require you to kill specific types of enemies, which will drop orange orbs that you need to collect. Once you have enough orbs, remember to deposit them on Altar to claim Whisper. You just need to open the map and search for Harvest icon, where you will find Altar. This can be done quickly.

I strongly recommend going to Altar as soon as you complete it, because if you don’t, there is a high chance that you will forget to claim them. Trust me, this happens a lot.

3. Purge The Rot Whisper

• Normal: 3 Grim Favors
• Torment 1 (x10): 30 Grim Favors
• Torment 4 (x20): 60 Grim Favors

This Whisper is also quick to complete, you need to kill 150 Headrotten monsters, this is easy to achieve, especially if you are around Uprooted Cacoon area and keep clicking on Exposed Root, but generally speaking they will spawn from anywhere.

4. Patrol Whisper

• Normal: 3 Grim Favors
• Torment 1 (x10): 30 Grim Favors
• Torment 4 (x20): 60 Grim Favors

Here you need to find NPC guard, you can find it on the map by the sword and shield icon, all you need to do is follow him until the 120 monsters in the orange circle are killed.

5. Shepherd Whisper

• Normal: 3 Grim Favors
• Torment 1 (x10): 30 Grim Favors
• Torment 4 (x20): 60 Grim Favors

Another Whisper we recommend is Shepherd. There you will find 4 lost animals and you need to escort them back to a safe zone, which happens to be a tree. Every time you interact with an animal, some monsters will appear, just kill them so the animal is free, then follow the animal back to the tree.

Why Aren’t The Other Whispers Worth Completing?

Sure, there are other activities that give you 60 Grim Favors, like Wisps Whisper, but they take longer. So overall, they’re not worth it. And the other Whispers only give you 20 Grim Favors, so even if they’re cool or fun, it’s totally not worth it. You can make better use of your time by heading to another area, so just ignore them.

Once you have finished all Whispers mentioned above, leave this area and go to the next area with less time remaining and repeat.

Other Tips

Catching Caches At Ravens

Besides this, the most important tip we can give you is to check your Whisper progress and pick up caches at Ravens immediately. This is crucial because you don’t want to notice that your progress is always 0 after you have been happily killing and farming.

So why Raven? Because it is a brilliant move by the developers, it allows us to store Whispers instead of teleporting back to Tree of Whispers. Hopefully, they will implement this mechanism in Helltide in the future.

Cleaning Up The Inventory

Another thing to consider is to keep your inventory clean and not pick up equipment that has no signs of higher affixes, so as to avoid being forced to discard some valuable items when your inventory is full in the later stages. Therefore, it is recommended that you can sell some items that you don’t need at the moment before you start farming, which will not only earn you extra Diablo 4 Gold but also clear your inventory as soon as possible.

Using Draught Of Whisper

Finally, be sure to open a bottle of Draught of Whisper before exploring Headhunts, which increases your chances of encountering Fugitive Heads by 50% and can be used with other potions.

To sum up, these are the best ways and noteworthy tips to farm Grim Favors in Headhunt area. If you follow this method, you can collect thousands of Grim Favors in a short period of time! Good luck!
