Diablo 4 DLC: A Brief Introduction To Spiritborn Class In Vessel Of Hatred
I don’t think I need to go into detail about Diablo 4, as it’s not new to everyone. Many people love this ARPG and have become fans of it. The game has already had seasonal content and updates this year.
After extensive hands-on with the upcoming character class, Spiritborn, I’m very happy with it and I’m going to play it in my free time. This class blends Diablo's ecosystem with varied classes, opening up a whole extra dimension.
On top of that, you can summon a giant spectral gorilla, and you can crush Hulk-smash demons like pink giblets. After exploring Vessel of Hatred’s spooky jungles and dark dungeons, I decided to play Spiritborn class.
Also, I focused almost exclusively on Spiritborn character class in a Vessel of Hatred, and then went into Nahantu region to explore. After entering Nahantu region, I started crafting my build and dismember everything in sight. Although I didn’t see any NPCs there, I just got some Diablo 4 Items while exploring the area.
However, I think I have a good understanding of Spiritborn. As we all know, Spiritborn is an entirely new class in Diablo series. They have their own lores and are closely related to ancient civilization of Nahantu. We should have learned about this in Act 3 jungles of Diablo 2.
The difference between this and other classes in Diablo 4 is that these can delve into a specific fantasy. For example, tanking like a Barbarian, doing mad DPS like a Rogue. But Spiritborn is different, it is more diverse and customizable. The reason is that you integrate four guardian spirits. These four spirits are:
- Eagle: Attributes are Mobility, Evasion, and Lightning Damage.
- gorilla: Attributes are Survivability and Physical Damage.
- Jaguar: Attributes are DPS, Attack speed, and Fire damage.
- Centipede: Attributes are Poison, Debuffs, and Lifesteal.
My favorite is the last one that you can use these attributes to control the battlefield and feed off your foes’ misfortune.
Each of spirit guardians is represented by a massive ghostly avatar that grants you power and sometimes appears on the battlefield to help you kill your enemies.
For example, when centipede appears, it will spit giant globs of venom at everything in sight. When eagle appears, it swoops in to zap your foes into dust. It’s really cool. The skills and abilities of each spirit guardian are shown in Spiritborn skill tree as color-coded nodes, which you can distinguish based on spectral BFF you choose.
These are four completely different styles, and you can also create different divergent builds. So it feels like Spiritborn is a composite of four different classes. You have to choose a primary patron from one of four spirits, but the most notable feature of this build is that you can combine the strengths of your chosen guardian animals with your size.
For example, your jaguar build is a bit squishy. You can cross the aisle to your gorilla spirit and add its tanky abilities to your Skill Library to make it more durable.
Compared to other specific classes that offer specific fantasies, this is definitely a new direction. At first, I was very worried that this class seemed to have all the stats but could not do anything. But after playing Spiritborn, I no longer have such concerns.
After learning more about centipede-eagle build, I think this build is really good. Centipede-eagle build allows me to fill battlefield with life-sapping poison and help me to dash out of reach if things get out of control.
You might think that this build must have an identity crisis, but if you have played this build, you will know that it definitely does not. This is what the developer said, which shows the strength of this build. And I really think this build is really great. If you haven’t tried it, you should really try it.
I think it’s a good thing if the developer can do the right things well on each route, at least it’s much better than making something that looks good but doesn’t work. I have tried six different builds so far, and I can say that I am very satisfied with this extremely unorthodox class.
I really like the different feelings that each spirit brings to me, and this class is so flexible. I can make different builds based on my current need and flight of fancy. It sounds incredible, but it really exists.
I don’t know if any of these builds or one of them can be compared with the existing five classes. But so far, I have been very satisfied with the results of Spiritborn in all aspects.
The above is all my understanding of this Spiritborn. If there are any additions and updates to Spiritborn in the future, I will update the article again. And you can join iGMeet disscord, which has more giveaway channels about this game and more information, so stay tuned!

Diablo 4 Season 7 Obducite ...
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!Feb-16-2025

Diablo 4 Season 7 Best Leve ...
Wanderer, the new Diablo 4 season is about to start. Are you ready? For every player, the initial goal of a new season journey is to level up, and although some people don't mind seeing the scenery halfway, the vast majority of people want to reach the level cap as quickly and efficiently as possible so that they can enter the endgame mode they really want to play. With this in mind, here, we will discuss some tips on leveling in Season 7, especially the overall leveling plan and specific strategies, on how we can optimize them and make them better according to the changes in the new season. It is worth mentioning that most of the information we have at present comes from D4 Season 7 PTR, which may affect some parts of it, both because of the nature of Public Test Realm and because they have changed the game since the second edition, but they do tell us some new content. Do You Need To Skip Campaign? The first big question is whether you skip Vessel of Hatred Campaign, and the answer is very likely. If you skip the dialogue and scenes in the expansion campaign entirely, you can actually finish it and level up in a few hours. Especially in Season 7, you don’t have to do the campaign because some new changes severely limit the actual benefits of doing so, but Vessel of Hatred Campaign itself is not actually a slow way to level up. So if you want to do Diablo 4 DLC campaign, it’s not a direct fault, but there are better ways, especially ones that overlap more with long-term goals. Mercenaries A quick note first, at this point we’re not sure what will happen to Mercenaries in the new season. If you skipped the campaign on both the live servers and PTR, you already have Mercenary unlocked from your main character, of course, provided your main character has already completed the campaign, and Mercenary levels are shared between characters. However, we’re not sure if skipping the campaign will automatically unlock Mercenary in the new season, or if we’ll have to do the quest again. Regardless, for Mercenaries, I specifically recommend Subo, as he’ll help you find herbs more easily, which will help you keep your Elixirs stocked up to ensure that XP buffs from Elixirs never wear off. Beyond that, there are more general uses in between, and it’s recommended that you use Varyana and her passive skill, which gives you extra movement speed when you kill things with Massacre Bonus. It’s a perfect open world leveling combo. Completing Headhunts Next, let’s look at the mainstay of the new season mechanics, Witch Powers, which are all tied to Tree of Whispers, and the result of that is a new sub-region takeover event called Headhunts. Among these events will be a whole new and improved set of Whispers of the Dead activities that will offer more rewards, there will be a ton of new monsters in there, and when you complete them, you can repeatedly turn them in for tons of Diablo 4 Gold and XP. Since this is Whispers of the Dead event, combined with the fact that open world activities don’t scale in difficulty with the player’s level, we’re guessing the more people you interact with, the more efficient your leveling will be. What’s more, the developers have said that they will reduce the density of monsters and elites in Headhunts areas in the last patch made between PTR and release, so this means that the fastest way to level up is expected to be in these Headhunts areas unless they completely eliminate the monster density in them. So let’s continue to assume that they won’t completely destroy the monster density in Headhunts and make it our main activity. Players will complete Whispers in Headhunts areas, however, it will eventually spawn a boss around the main tree of the area. If your goal is just pure pursuit of leveling speed efficiency, I would say that you should never kill the boss. Honestly, most leveling builds in Diablo 4 don’t focus on bosses or single target damage, so it makes sense to stick to your strengths and keep doing Whispers. If you run out of Whispers in an area, just move on to another Headhunts area. Season Questlines It is well known that the best way to level up in Diablo 4 is to interact with the season questlines themselves, and Season 7 is no exception, especially since this season will be directly tied into Coven’s Favor Reputation. This is the new Reputation system for Season 7, and it unlocks things for you, like more parts of the questline, and Witch Powers that you can’t get from anywhere else. So, combined with the actual reward boxes from Whispers of the Dead Caches, this has the potential to give you some really nice power upgrades when you level up, speeding up your leveling process. Rootholds Dungeon Also of note are the new Rootholds mini-dungeon activities, which let you get Sigils from Silent Chests and Whispers Caches. What’s more, they’re highly intensive activities, so they’re completed very quickly compared to regular dungeons, and they have decent rewards, too. The only downside is that there’s always a boss at the end of a Roothold, so whether or not you do this when leveling up depends on your single target damage. If your single target damage isn’t good, the general Whispers in Headhunts area will be more effective, but if single target damage is good, then you can do whatever Rootholds you encounter when you run into them. Choosing Difficulty Tiers The next big question is how to choose your Difficulty Tiers, how difficult these activities should be when you do them. This is a pretty easy problem to solve, just do it and don’t try to prove anything to someone. Start with Normal Difficulty, get to level 15 or so, then if you’re only half as fast on Hard Mode as you are on Normal, then maybe you can try to bump it up to Hard Mode, because the extra gold and XP from running on Hard Mode is worth it. But if it takes twice as long to kill monsters, then it’s not worth it. So if you want to increase your leveling efficiency by increasing Difficulty Tier, the most important thing is to keep up the speed. This is an efficiency game, so only do it when your build and gear are good enough, no matter how good you think it is subjectively. Using Elixirs It is well known that Elixirs give you 5% extra experience as long as they are activated. These Elixirs are easy to make early on, especially the high-level Elixirs, which give you 8% extra experience once you can start making and using them. Of course, this number itself is not high, but every little bit counts, and if you activate them 100% of the time, then it will definitely accumulate. Season Journey Meanwhile, Season Journey itself is also a consideration. Based on information leaked by the developers, we’ve learned that our early-game quests should be more effectively aligned with the efficient leveling activities of the first few chapters of Season Journey. This means that if we’re lucky enough, it will directly align with what we’re already doing and give us some nice little power boosts when we open those reward caches. Season Blessings The last thing to talk about is season boosts, which you can unlock with Smoldering Ashes after reaching them on the free track of Season 7 Battle Pass. The one consistent function they have always had is to get Boost XP buffs by killing monsters. So if you only care about leveling speed, this is also where you want to stick with the first four Smoldering Ashes. Outro In short, these methods should allow you to level up to level 60 easily and quickly. Of course, we still need to pay attention to the new seasonal activities, interact with them, and enjoy the new content they add in Season 7, and the new things they provide also happen to be a very effective way to level up. If you want to better welcome the new content that is coming, then you can pay attention to the giveaways that are often launched in iGMeet Discord. Here is your chance to get free D4 products and help you conquer the Sanctuary! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the new season!Jan-19-2025

Diablo 4 just recently launched Season 5 on August 6, with the new content of Infernal Hordes activity being added in the game. It provides the scene for players to fight with waves of overwhelming enemies with potent power to get Burning Aethers, which can be employed further to earn unique items suited for their class. According to the revelation of a relevant researcher of Diablo 4, a new seasonal mechanic will be introduced into Season 6, which will be launched with Vessel of Hatred expansion on October 8 at the same time. Diablo 4 Season 6 Boasts A New Seasonal Mechanic Vessel of Hatred expansion marks a new milestone for Diablo. A large amount of new content, new mechanics and improvements to related systems make this season full of new settings and challenges. For example, Masterworking crafting system, new monsters, dungeons, storylines, and so on. The expansion also adds new companions to Diablo 4 named mercenaries, offering players an opportunity to search a number of customizable play styles, greatly enhancing the game experience. A new class called Spiritborn has been created and will be launched combing with Vessel of Hatred. Under this mode, players can choose a Spirit Guardian to widen new abilities required. Many players have expressed great interest and enthusiasm for Season 6. A campfire chat that mainly surrounding the theme of changes in new season for Diablo 4 is scheduled on August 29. New messages will be disclosed continually later, with the content of Dark Citadel endgame of Vessel of Hatred being involved. Details Of New Seasonal Mechanic According to the interview with the researchers, the redesigned content will not be too complicated, mainly to increase the player’s game choice, so that players have a higher degree of freedom and increase the depth of the game. The research team did not adopt infinite Paragon system like Diablo 3, which is more complicated and not conducive to players’ better game experience. In fact, there was a heated discussion within the research team on whether Paragon system can enhance the game experience. The reduction of levels in the game is also rumored to come about, decreasing the level cap from 100 to 60 in Season 6. The question about loot filter is also being frequently mentioned. Loot filters serves as a highly anticipated feature for Diablo 4. Armory is another aspect that raises much attention. Moreover, it is said that the research team has also invested a lot of attention and energy in the aspect of quality-of-life update. As more and more information about the next season is revealed, many players are eager to try it. However, it is still recommended that you complete all the challenges of Season 5 first. As the prologue of Diablo 4 Season 6, the content and settings in Season 5 are also very exciting. If you encounter difficulties in fighting bosses with powerful strength, you can devote some Diablo 4 Gold to level up the performance of your character or get new necessary items. Therefore, it is recommended that you focus on the challenges in Season 5 first. If you encounter problems in the game, you are welcome to log in to iGMeet discord, where you can discuss your difficulties.

Diablo 4 Season 4: How To O ...
Today, I'll be delving into the crucial topic of the newly introduced resources awaiting us in Diablo 4 Season 4. My aim is to provide a thorough breakdown of all the essential resources you'll need to acquire, along with the optimal strategies for obtaining them. Let's dive in! Obducite, Ingolith, Neathiron The first important resources that I want to discuss are Obducite, Ingolith, Neathiron. For that, you just need to run Pit of Artificers. From Tier 1 to Tier 30, you're going to receive Obducite. You just need to run it, and pretty much you're going to receive Obducite at the end. From Tier 31 to at least Tier 60, you're going to receive Ingolith. You can change to it and it will be in up to Tier 60. From Tier 60 and onwards, you're going to receive Neathiron, so everything further is pretty much Neathiron by itself. But here's a trick which is pretty important and which will help you to get it. If you go to The Alchemist, you can craft materials from them. So, for example, if you need a lot of Obite by itself, you can just craft Upthsite from Inth at a pretty nice rate. However, you will need to invest a large number of Diablo 4 Gold in the process. You can also craft Ingolith out of Neathiron. That way, you can get it from the highest resource. So, if you can farm Pit 60 and higher, it's much better to farm Pit Tier 60 and then just break your Neathiron into the lower levels of currency, both Obducite and Ingolith. So, Alchemist and their Transmutation part is your helper in that. Scattered Prisms So, the next set of resources I want to talk about is Scattered Prisms. These resources mostly drop from World Bosses. There are chances to get them randomly, but it's crucial to prioritize defeating World Bosses. A World Boss can yield 1 Scattered Prism, sometimes even 2, though typically it's just 1. Ensure you're not missing out on world bosses and keep your Scattered Prisms ready, as you'll need them to improve the socket amount on your items. If they do drop randomly for you, that's good too, but most of the time, it's from world bosses. Angelbreath Another resource you'll need to actively farm is Angelbreath. You'll require Angelbreath to consistently roll your items, which is crucial for ensuring they meet your standards. The best way to farm Angelbreath is during events in Hell Rift. You can receive up to 10 Angelbreath from completing normal events, which is a significant amount. So, participating in events during your time in the Hell Rift is highly recommended to ensure a steady supply of Angelbreath. Runeshards When we are talking about the Runeshards, we have a few options to farm them. Most of the time, if you need Runeshards immediately, you can just go and get them from Nightmare Dungeons. So, if you finish, for example, Tier 1 to 100 Nightmare Dungeons, you're going to get close to 15 of them, and that's a pretty nice decision. However, I think that it's much more efficient to just farm them from Tortured Gifts of Mysteries. For example, when you're opening them, you're receiving a lot of other items, and one of them will be Angelbreath. On top of that, you're also receiving Forgotten Souls, additional items, and pretty much Runeshards as well. Gemstone Fragments So, another thing which is pretty much important is farming fragments of the gemstones. Right now, unfortunately, there is no proper way to farm them, and they're just dropping everywhere. I also noticed when you're doing bosses like Grigoire and Varshan, for example, the monsters around are dropping a pretty significant amount. Some are also dropping from Blood Maiden, and Blood Maiden could be a decent option to get them. But generally, if you're just playing Diablo 4 Season 4, killing enemies, and running around, at one point, you're going to have enough fragments to pretty much craft all your stones. So, I recommend not to focus too much on them. Resplendent Spark So, the next question is where to get Resplendent Spark. Overall, you get Resplendent Spark from disassembling Uber Uniques. However, there are a few additional ways how you can get it. You need to kill all the tormented bosses, and you will be able to get it from them. You also will need to finish a quest line of this Season 4, and you will be able to get one spark too. On top of that, you're going to get one from Uber Lilith as well. So, all those ways together are going to get you some Resplendent Sparks. And if you drop some Mythic items. You will be able to just disassemble them for more if you don't really need them. Max 925 Gear The last part is about how to farm max level 925 gear. I just recommend to go for Blood Maiden kills, because Blood Maiden kills could be pretty fast if you have a lot of people with you, and she can drop a few oranges items at the same time. They almost always have maximum item power. If you follow these simple methods and get all these new resources. I believe you will find this guide helpful.May-29-2024
