Unleashing Power: PvM Build Rankings in Diablo 2 Resurrected

Hello Wanderers, are you looking for the best way to collect Gem Fragments in Diablo 4 Season 7 to have more chances to craft Grand Gems and Occult Gems to optimize your character? If yes, then it’s time for this guide to come into play. Here, we will show you the fastest way to farm Whisper Caches to take your gameplay to the next level! Why Should You Collect Whisper Caches? First, we will dive into the most efficient way to collect Whisper Caches. In fact, when collecting Whisper Caches, you are also collecting Gem Fragments. In essence, you are collecting multiple valuable resources at the same time! These include Boss Summoning Materials, Legendary Gear, Greater Affixes Gear, Tributes, Uniques, Gold, Crafting Materials, Scattered Prisms, Runes, Restless Rot, XP, and more. Additionally, Whisper Caches can be used to upgrade another character to level 60 in less than 1 minute, making it an extremely efficient resource for gear and upgrades as well! Remember that Runes are only available if you have Vessel of Hatred expansion. But don’t worry, if you don’t have the expansion yet, you can still make the most of these farming strategies! Preparation Before you start running Whispers Bounties, it’s best to prepare in advance to maximize your efficiency. Therefore, I recommend equipping boots, amulets, or any gear that increases your movement speed, the higher the better, which will help you reduce your travel time and allow you to reach your goals more efficiently. If you don’t have any gear that increases movement speed, you can use Citadel Coins to get Elixir of Tailwind from Dark Citadel Vendor, which will increase your movement speed by 15%, helping you farm faster. Be sure to bring some Incense and Elixir to increase your XP and bonus stats, especially if you haven’t reached Paragon Level 300 yet. Since you’ll be leveling up while farming, this will help you progress faster. Don’t forget, it’s a good idea to keep some Whispering Keys in your inventory, as you’ll come across many Silent Chests in Headhunt Zones. These chests require a Whispering Key to open, which you can redeem from Purveyor of Curiosities for 10 Murmuring Obols each. Having a key on hand will save you from constantly teleporting back to town when you find Silent Chests. These chests may contain valuable loot, including Diablo 4 Gold, Legendary gear, Gem Fragments, and more. Complete Whispers Bounties To get Whisper Caches, you need to complete Whispers Bounties and collect 10 Grim Favors. There are tons of Bounties scattered throughout Sanctuary, but one of the best places to collect them is in Headhunt Zones, where you can easily get over 20 Grim Favors simply by completing Bounties in that area. However, not all Whispers Bounties are worth running, some take a long time to complete, and some offer fewer Grim Favors, making them inefficient. In order to maximize your rewards in the shortest possible time, you’ll want to focus on the most efficient Bounties that offer the highest return on investment. For Headhunts, 1 Red, 6 Light Red, and 6 Pink Bounties are spawned per zone, with 3 Headhunt Zones total, each with a different start time and lasting 40 minutes. Red Bounties reward 5 Grim Favors upon completion. Light Red Bounties reward 3 Grim Favors each. Pink Bounties only offer 1 Grim Favors and are generally not worth running because of the low return on time investment. However, Slay Bounty is an exception, and it only requires you to defeat 2 Thralls of Rot to complete. These enemies are represented by red skull icons on your mini-map, and you’ll naturally encounter them while completing other Bounties, making this a quick and easy Bounty. For Light Red Bounties, you should ignore Wisps and Patrol as they take longer to complete, but if you notice another player is about to complete a Wisps Bounty, you can jump in at the last minute so you can get free Grim Favors without much effort. Scour Bounties, on the other hand, are fairly easy, you just need to collect 7 Herbs in Headhunts and then find a Scouring Cauldron to defeat Elite and complete the quest. To speed up the process, I highly recommend hiring Subo as your mercenary, as he can reveal all enemies and materials in the area, making it easier to find them quickly. To optimize efficiency, tackle this Scour Bounty while performing other Bounties to save time. You can efficiently complete three Light Red Bounties: Harvest, Purge the Rot, and Shepherd, and one Red Bounty, Fugitive, which rewards 5 Grim Favors, in a brief time. Always start with Shepherd, and while completing Shepherd, you will naturally complete both Harvest and Purge the Rot at the same time. Once Shepherd is completed, Exposed Roots will appear nearby. Interacting with them may trigger an Uprooted Cocoon, spawning a Headless Husk or Fugitive Head, and even if not, they will drop valuable loot, including Gem Fragments, and even spawn Treasure Goblins. Almost everything you kill in Headhunt Zones has a chance to drop Gem Fragments, and even Silent Chests can contain them. This is why it’s important to keep some Whispering Keys in your inventory at all times. If an Uprooted Cocoon appears, quickly eliminate the boss before completing the remaining bounties. Alternatively, you can also join an Uprooted Cocoon summoned by another player to complete the bounty faster. You can complete all of these bounties in under 10 minutes, earning 20 or more Grim Favors per run. This means you can claim one or two Whisper Caches per run. Bonus Tips After completing a zone’s quests, head to another zone and repeat the process until you’ve collected enough Whisper Caches and Gem Fragments. Always start with the zone with the least time remaining to complete as many bounties as possible. Then, head to the other two zones and complete their quests before the bounties reset. During your collection, prioritize picking up valuable loot, focusing on Legendary, Unique, and Greater Affixes gear. If you already have enough materials and gold, you can even skip picking up excess Legendary gear to reduce the need to return to town as often. This will help you minimize downtime, maximize efficiency, and farm longer without unnecessary interruptions. Also, always have your Whisper Caches open at a vendor near town so you can quickly sell, salvage, or store your loot. This keeps your inventory organized and prevents clutter, ensuring you can be ready for your next farm without delay. If you complete these bounties at lightning speed before the three Headhunt Zones reset, you can use the downtime to tackle noteworthy Red Bounties outside of Headhunts, including: World Bosses, Uber Bosses, Blood Maiden, Seething Abomination, Kurast Undercity, The Pit and Dungeons. These activities only take a few minutes to complete, making them a great way to maximize efficiency while waiting for Headhunts to reset. Collecting Whisper Caches efficiently is one of the best ways to stockpile Gem Fragments, Greater Affixes Gear, Legendary Items, Gold, and Crafting Materials while also earning a ton of XP. By optimizing bounties within Headhunt Zones, you can complete all high-value bounties in under 10 minutes and earn 20+ Grim Favors per mission. That’s all for this Whisper Caches collecting guide! By following these strategies, you can collect efficiently, maximize your loot, and power up your character faster. Happy hunting!

In the upcoming Diablo 4 Season 7 update on January 21, developers will bring new powers, new weapons, new pets and other Diablo 4 Items to players. It is not clear whether there will be new classes, but Witch Power will be the theme of this season. Overview Of Witch Power In the seventh season of Diablo, the creators brought 24 different witch powers to players. And these 24 witch powers are divided into four schools and two different qualities. Four schools: Eldritch witch power Growth & Decay witch power Psyche witch power Lost witch power Each school has a unique power, and the rest are Normal Powers. Players can carry up to 6 witch powers at a time, five of which are Normal Powers and one is a unique power. These witch powers will bring different effects to players, some of which enhance the player’s attributes, and some of which allow players to cause additional damage to monsters.

Diablo 4 Season 6 is currently underway, and some major updates have been made in the mid-season, aiming to adjust the gameplay and enhance the class balance to improve the player experience. The developers held an hour-long Campfire Chat live broadcast on November 12, 2024, detailing all the possible changes that players want to know about the second half of Diablo 4 Season 6. Mid-Season Update Patch Notes Diablo 4 Season 6 mid-season patch proposes solutions to class balance issues, enhances the abilities of some underperforming classes, and improves the excitement of activities and makes the gameplay more engaging. At the same time, the developers have publicly stated that the full patch notes will be released later this week. There will be more explanations about Season 7 in the upcoming PTR livestream. About Patch Notes The developer's lead class designer Adam Jackson said that until Season 7, the current strength of Spiritborn will not be adjusted, and players can rest assured about this. The patch to enhance the abilities of other classes will also be released next week, but the developers have also made it clear that the strength of other classes will not exceed that of Spiritborn. This is to avoid numerical explosions that exceed the scope of what the game can bear. Regarding these changes, the developers will release news again next week to discuss the relevant content of Season 7. Including possible weakening of Spiritborn, an increase in the drop rate of ancestral items, an increase in the rewards of Legion events crafting materials, and some changes to Runewords. At the same time, the developers also said that the long-awaited armory system, that is, the mechanism that can switch back and forth between builds like presets, may also be launched in Season 7. Highlights In The Patch Minor skill buffs for build diversity have been enhanced. Some Under-used skills have been slightly improved to provide new ideas for the creativity of all class builds. At the same time, the five core classes, namely Barbarians, Druids, Necromancers, Rogues, and Sorceresses, have been enhanced to a certain extent. While not as strong as Spiritborn, there are significant buffs to core skills, passives, and select Legendaries and Uniques. These changes have narrowed the gap between the original 5 basic classes and the new classes that old players felt after the release of Spiritborn. This also makes players more interested in developing the potential power of all classes instead of all flocking to Spiritborn. If you want to shine in the class you are interested in, then buy Diablo 4 Gold and developing a corresponding class build strategy will be your main goal. There are also power-ups for Shrines. Artillery, Blast Wave, and Conduit Shrines now scale with player level and paragon level, making them more impactful in the late game. On Runewords side, they now cost less to activate and are more powerful. Ancestral items have also received buffs, making them a key addition to any build. Upcoming Events Midwinter Blight event is returning, and with increased loot and limited-time XP rewards, this event will bring more Diablo 4 Gold and other benefits than ever before. This is important for players as everyone is working to improve their paragon level. At the same time, Mother’s Blessing Event update will also bring additional rewards to players. For some players who return to Diablo 4, they can enjoy Eternal Realm character boost. When they return to the game, they can have a character promoted to level 50 for free and unlock Altars of Lilith awaits, which is convenient for players to have powerful power at the beginning of the game. After Thanksgiving in the US, the developers will conduct a short game test for Season 7, that is, PTR, and many details will be announced in the live broadcast next week. This undoubtedly aroused the new interest of the majority of players. Let us look forward to what new surprises the developers will bring us.

Diablo 4’s second Public Test Realm (PTR) will be officially launched from June 25 to July 2, providing players with an opportunity to test the fresh changes and features of Season 5 in advance. Then the developers will adjust the feedback from players and finally present the best Diablo 4 Season 5 to players! The following are the new events you can experience in Season 5 PTR. I believe you will definitely be impatient, right? Then let’s have a look! Eternal Questline: Eyes Of The Enemy Season 5 tells a new story - enemies are eliminated, changes occur within the alliance, and you will find an unexpected friend emerging from the shadows. So there will also be a new Questline in PTR. It mainly occurs after Main Questline event, and can be used in Seasonal and Eternal Realms, and there is no need to worry that it will disappear after the end of Season 5. It will remain in Eternal realm. Season 5’s Main Questline requires you to travel to Hawezar in World Tier III and investigate the unrest among the inhabitants of the city there. Once you’ve completed it, you can fight the Infernal Hordes, a new game activity added in Season 5. It’s important to note that this quest only needs to be completed once on your account and does not require a new character to perform. Fighting With Infernal Hordes Some players found Helltides very difficult in previous seasons, but in Season 5, it’s just waiting for the horror to begin. In Realm of Hatred, you’ll fight against the seemingly ever-growing Hell’s Legions, and beware that they’re getting stronger every day. You can kill the demons in Infernal Hordes activity, and after completing it, you can get Burning Aether, which will help you unlock more powerful weapons or more rewards. In addition, you can fight a powerful Fell Council. Enter Realm Of Hatred With Infernal Compass So how can you enter Realm of Hatred? You need to use a tool called Infernal Compass. There are two ways to get this Diablo 4 Item - the first is that you have a chance to get them as rewards after defeating Endgame Bosses, Helltides, Nightmare Dungeons, and Whispers. The second way is a little easier. Just complete the latest Eternal quest to get them. Infernal Hordes What you need to pay attention to in Infernal Hordes is that it is time-limited, and each wave only lasts 90 seconds. When you finish a wave, you can collect Burning Aether, which can be used in Infernal run. After each wave of 90 seconds is over, you need to kill the remaining enemies and choose between three Infernal Offers. After making your choice, the next wave of attacks begins. After you successfully kill all the attacks in all waves in Tier, you can fight the Fell Council! After defeating it, you will also receive Burning Aether, which can be exchanged for Spoils of Hell. Infernal Offer As mentioned earlier, after each wave, there will be three different Infernal Offers that can provide you with Boons and Banes, which can play a big role in your battle. For example, when Elite damage increases, Elites will give you more Burning Aether. Remember to choose clearly. Infernal Offers will continue to accumulate as you fight Infernal Hordes, and you can activate multiple. Infernal Offers will also help you increase the difficulty of the battle, but will give you more Burning Aether. But be careful, it is better to be moderate, don’t be too aggressive. Burning Aether As just introduced, Burning Aether is mainly obtained by killing Aether Fiends and Aether Lords in Realm of Hatred. In addition, you can also destroy Soulspires and Aetheric Masses, both of which can allow you to obtain Burning Aether. It is important to remind you that Burning Aether is obtained individually, whether you play alone or with friends. This also makes it easier for you to think about how to use it when you are ready to use it at the end of the run. Spoils Of Hell Spoils of Hell are mainly unlocked by Burning Aether, and there will be four different Spoils of Hell for you to choose from. Spoils of Equipment Spoils of Materials Spoils of Gold Spoils of Greater Equipment Fighting With Fell Priests If you are lucky enough to survive Infernal Hordes, Fell Council awaits you. These noble priests were originally created to protect players from Prime Evil Mephisto in Diablo 2. Unfortunately, they were corrupted and assimilated into the demons they had been fighting. There are 5 Fell Council Members in Fell Priests, each with unique abilities. When you start to prepare to fight a Fell Council, they will send 3 members to fight you. This is all random, so you need to be careful of their unique combination of abilities. Once you have done enough damage to Fell Council, especially when their health is low, priests’ attacks will become more frenzied. You must always be vigilant if you want to survive. New Weapons And Items Because the furnaces in Burning Hell burn so vigorously, the weapons they create also have surprising abilities. Many of the new Legendaries, Uniques, and items in Season 5 are created here. These items are mainly dropped from the remains of enemies in the Sanctuary, but they are most likely to be obtained in the Infernal Hordes mentioned above. Experience Endgame Bosses In Season 5 PTR, you no longer need to reset the dungeon to achieve the result of killing the same boss repeatedly. You only need to see the summoning Altar automatically appear after killing a boss and use more resources to kill the boss again. Also, Malignant Hearts are only required to summon Varshan, and Trembling Hands, Blackened Femurs, and Gurgling Heads are no longer required. In addition, Endgame Bosses will drop additional Diablo 4 Gold, making these items no longer rare items. Next, introduce a few Endgame Bosses, so that you can learn more about them and better defeat them in future battles. Beast In Ice Beast in Ice boss fight has now been moved to the standard dungeon, so you don’t need to craft a sigil to enter. However, if you already have Beast in Ice sigils obtained from the Seasonal Realm or Eternal characters, remember to keep them. You don’t need to use any materials to enter the battle with Beast in Ice. Loot Rewards In Season 5 PTR, the Resplendent Spark you get after defeating Tormented bosses is now available in both Hardcore and non-Hardcore. Note that Resplendent Sparks and Scattered Prisms will no longer be automatically looted, but don’t worry about missing them, as any items you didn’t get to pick up will be found in the lost items Stash. Treasure Goblins In previous games, the loot quality of Treasure Goblins has been criticized by players. This time in Season 5 PTR, some improvements have been made. Now you can drop 1-3 Legendary Items and 2-6 Rare Items, and the number of these two items is proportional. The more Legendary Items you get, the more Rare Items you will get. Not only has the quality been improved in a lot of ways that players have wanted, but there are also some specific items that have appeared, such as Common Ore, Herbs, Leather, and Gem Fragments, and even Diablo 4 Gold. For example, in World Tier I, you get 40k Gold; in World Tier IV, you get 150k Gold. In addition to the items just mentioned, Treasure Goblins also drop Forgotten Souls. In addition, in World Tier I and II/World Tier III/World Tier IV, there is a 10/20/30% chance of dropping 1-2 Scattered Prisms. We have introduced so many details about Diablo 4 Season 5 PTR. Let’s look forward to its release on June 25! We look forward to your more feedback to make Season 5 better.
