Last War Survival: A Deep Overview Of Polar Storm - Mechanism, Resources And More

ARC Raiders Season 5 Week 4 Trials are now live, bringing a series of brand-new challenges to test your skills against ARC threat. Earning three stars in each trial is key to climbing the leaderboards and winning top rewards such as epic items and blueprints.

This week's ARC Raiders features five challenges: Search Raider Caches, Damage ARC Using Blaze Grenade, Receive Damage from Pops, Damage Wasps Using Light Ammo Weapons, and Open Containers Inside Traffic Tunnels. The trials run from July 28th to August 4th, 2026.

However, it's important to remember that your trial points only apply if you successfully escape the raid. If you are eliminated before escaping, any progress you made during the raid will be lost.

This article will detail how to complete Week 4 Trials in ARC Raiders Season 5 and achieve a three-star rating.

Search Raider Caches

This trial requires you to open as many Raider Caches as possible. These chests are scattered throughout the map and contain useful supplies such as medkits and throwables.

The best map for completing this trial is Dam Battlegrounds, as it has the highest item density. However, it's important to note that you don't need to be the first player to find a Raider Cache; you'll still earn points even if you search an already opened chest.

Statistically, each search yields 800 points. Players need to find approximately five Raider Caches to reach the 4,000-point threshold required for three stars, which I believe is relatively easy for most players.

Damage ARC Using Blaze Grenade

This trial requires you to damage ARC enemies using Blaze Grenade. The ideal location is an open map like Dam Battlegrounds or Spaceport. To maximize damage, it's recommended to choose the easiest ARC target, Leaper. If you're skilled enough, you can also choose the high-health target, Bastion.

Here are the recommended ARC Raiders Items to bring for this trial:

• Anvil / Bettina
• Four stacks of ammo
• Light Shield
• Shield Rechargers
• Herbal Bandages
• As many Blaze Grenades as possible

Additionally, note that after throwing a Blaze Grenade at a Leaper, wait for the current Blaze Grenade to burn out before throwing a second one. Repeat this process; do not throw two grenades at once.

In ARC Raiders, dealing 1 point of damage to an ARC enemy earns 1.5 trial points. This means you need to deal 2,700 damage to earn over 4,000 points and achieve a three-star rating.

Receive Damage from Pops

This is likely the most difficult trial of the week. You must go to any area with a high concentration of Pops and lure them to attack you one by one. The safest and easiest locations to complete this mission are the hospital and research center on Buried City map.

Before entering the map, you'll need to prepare some essential ARC Raiders Items, including crucial medical supplies and a reliable primary weapon to quickly eliminate any extra Wasps if necessary. The specific list is as follows:

• Anvil / Bettina
• Four stacks of ammo
• Medium/Heavy Shield
• Surge Shield Rechargers
• Herbal Bandages / Vita Spray

In this trial, you gain 15 points for every point of damage taken. Therefore, you must withstand 267 points of damage to achieve three stars. Note that if you die during this process, the damage taken will not count towards your progress, so be sure to bring plenty of medical supplies to ensure your survival.

Damage Wasps Using Light Ammo Weapons

This trial requires you to attack Wasps enemies using light ammo weapons. Wasps are ordinary flying enemies with no armor, making them easy targets for these weapons.

I recommend completing this trial on Blue Gate map, not only because of the high density of Wasps enemies but also because its open areas allow you to spot Wasps more quickly.

For every 1 point of damage dealt to Wasp, you gain 2 Trial Points. To achieve a three-star rating, you need to deal 2000 damage to Wasp. Bobcat is considered the best choice for this mission in ARC Raiders due to its high damage and rate of fire; if you don't have this weapon, Stitcher is also a good alternative.

Open Containers Inside Traffic Tunnels

This trial is very simple but is limited to Blue Gate map. The player's main objective is to go to Traffic Tunnels, relying on their looting skills to open boxes, dismantle carriages, inspect vehicle compartments, and loot all possible hiding places for loot. Note that this trial is a competition; you must be the first to open a container to progress.

It is not recommended to risk using high-level equipment in this trial; free loadout is sufficient. Of course, if you plan to bring some items into this trial, Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key is worth bringing, as it unlocks a large number of additional lootable containers.

Each container inside Traffic Tunnels is worth 100 points. To get a three-star rating, you must open 40 containers, which isn't difficult but can be time-consuming.

That concludes this article about ARC Raiders Season 5 Week 4 Trials. For more information, follow EZG Facebook; We also have regular giveaways to help you accumulate resources faster.

Overall, I think this week's trials weren't very difficult. Do you agree after reading this article? Then what are you waiting for? Go try it out! I'm sure you can get three stars and win the rewards.

Diablo 4 Season of Death Awakening Patch 3.1.2 will officially go live at 1 PM EST on July 28th.

This patch update, besides renaming Mythic crafting Horadric Cube recipe from Upgrade to Craft, focuses more on fixing bugs and issues that have appeared since launch. Also, Pit Bubble, which players noticed disappeared at the beginning of the season, will return with this patch.

For the majority of players, the comeback of Pit Bubble is undoubtedly the most welcomed change in this update. But what makes it so highly praised? Why?

Specific Functions

After completing a Pit and defeating Pit Guardian, a Glyph Upgrade will appear in the player's field of vision, followed by a transparent protective bubble - this is Pit Bubble.

Entering Pit Bubble will prevent players from taking damage from nearby mobs or residual abilities from bosses after death. Ground-based burning, poison, and other continuous damage effects will also be unaffected, allowing players to safely upgrade their Glyph.

This function is especially important for high-level Pit, because in high-level environments, mobs, especially elites, deal more damage. Therefore, Pit Bubble has always been considered one of the most important quality-optimizing designs in Pit.

Development History

Phase 1

Pit Bubble first appeared in Diablo 4 Season 4: Loot Reborn, debuting alongside Pit.

The initial design goal of Pit was to provide players with endless challenge content, test their build limits, and provide Masterworking materials. After completing a Pit, players would enter a Boss reward phase and have a safe process for upgrading their Glyph.

However, this process required players to open UI, during which combat was completely impossible.

To counter the ever-increasing number of monsters, Blizzard added Pit Bubble. Players within the bubble would be completely protected from damage, giving them a safe window to inspect their equipment, manage their inventory, and finish upgrading Glyphs.

At this time, Pit Bubble was not a heavily promoted system, but rather a naturally occurring convenience mechanism.

Phase 2

As Diablo 4 seasons progressed and players increasingly challenged higher-level Pit, the value of Pit Bubble became more apparent.

This is because in higher-level Pit, not only do the bosses deal more damage and face greater difficulty, but the constantly spawning elite monsters also deal significant damage. Dying in a higher-level Pit results in more severe penalties.

Therefore, to prevent players from facing death after defeating a boss, Pit Bubble transformed from a convenient mechanic into an essential safety measure for players progressing through higher-level Pit.

Phase 3

However, at the beginning of Diablo 4 Season 14, players discovered that Pit Bubble did not appear after a Pit ended. Initially, players thought this was a bug, as some reported that Pit Bubble appeared randomly, and others reported that monsters could also enter it.

But recently, players finally confirmed that it was indeed an intentional adjustment by Blizzard to Pit Bubble, not a bug.

Reasons for Removal

While the official explanation is not clear and complete, the player community has summarized two key reasons.

Reason 1:

Diablo 4 Season of Death Awakening brought several new seasonal features and mechanics, including:

• Whisper Ambush
• War Plans-related Events

Some players discovered they could use Pit Bubble to deal with extra spawned enemies, killing them without taking damage and obtaining a large amount of extra loot.

Reason 2:

After a Pit ends, Whisper Ambush is triggered, randomly spawning an Ambush Boss. However, if a player enters Pit Bubble, Boss cannot attack, but the player can attack Boss through Pit Bubble. This severely impacted game balance and atmosphere.

Therefore, Blizzard decided to temporarily disable Pit Bubble.

Reinstatement

Finally, thanks to positive player feedback and anticipation, Pit Bubble will return with a brand new look in Diablo 4 Season 14 Patch 3.1.2.

The main adjustment to Pit Bubble in this update is that if Whisper Ambush doesn't trigger after a Pit ends, a Pit Bubble will spawn immediately; if it does trigger, it will respawn after the player defeats Ambush Boss.

This adjustment aims to prevent mechanic conflicts while preserving the safe leveling experience players need. This way, in the later stages of Diablo 4 Season of Death Awakening, when players are actively pushing for Pit 150, they can smoothly evacuate after victory without suffering unnecessary deaths and penalties.

The disappearance and reappearance of Pit Bubble essentially reflects a long-standing issue in Diablo 4: the endgame difficulty should challenge players, not punish those who have already completed it.

Other Fixes

Besides the return of Pit Bubble, this update also focuses on mechanic bugs, Rogue abnormal damage, Mythic item interactions, and:

• Fixed an issue where Whisper icon could overlap Infernal Horde teleport interaction location.
• Fixed an issue where killing Soul Eater while it was frozen could cause it to respawn.
• Fixed an issue where Deathtoll Chamber would complete before Soul Eater was defeated.
• Fixed an issue where skipping objectives could prevent Cosmic Archives Stronghold from progressing.
• Fixed an issue where mount effects would persist after being disbanded.

Compared with the previous 3.1.1 patch, which mainly focused on endgame economy problems such as Mythic Unique acquisition, Diablo 4 Season 14 Patch 3.1.2 serves more than a seasonal stability update, delivering a second wave of adjustments based on player feedback following the season's release.

For casual players, the biggest benefit of this patch will be more stable seasonal events. For endgame players, the biggest changes are improved Mythic inventory management (fixing the issue of Mythic Uniques not being recyclable) and corrections to some abnormal bursts in Rogue mode.

Overall, the player experience in the later stages of Diablo 4 Season 14 has been optimized to some extent.

Since Patch 0.5 was released, PoE 2 community has frequently seen players showcasing high-value bases and asking how to craft them. The goals are usually very high: to create a three-element weapon, a pure physical weapon, and achieve endgame stats like Tier 1 Critical Strike and Attack Speed.

Bases with extremely rare affixes like +5 skill level are indeed tempting. Their low spawn rate and high value lead many players to immediately think: this must be crafted around that affix.

However, this is precisely where high-end crafting is most prone to pitfalls. A rare affix doesn't necessarily mean it's suitable as a fracture target.

Many people fail at crafting not because of bad luck, but because they narrowed their options from the very first step of choosing their base.

Skill Selection

In Patch 0.5, if your goal is to build a Critical Strike weapon, but your currency budget doesn't reach Mirror-tier, then prioritizing Critical Strike Chance is recommended.

The reason is that while skill level affixes are very powerful, they offer almost no room for adjustment during crafting. Once you get a +5 skill base, all subsequent actions revolve around that affix. If undesirable attribute combinations arise later, dealing with them becomes extremely difficult.

Critical Strike Chance is different. It's also a core attribute for weapons, but the crafting path is more flexible. Many high-end weapons are planned around Critical Strike Chance because it provides a significant damage boost and is easier to combine with other keyword affixes.

Of course, this doesn't mean that a +5 skill fracture is always the wrong choice. If your goal is apparent, such as deciding to build a specific Mirror-tier weapon, and your currency is sufficient to cover the significant costs of failure, then keeping +5 skill is perfectly reasonable.

Many players have Mirror-tier base gear but attempt to craft it with the budget of a typical endgame item. The risks of these two approaches are vastly different, so it's no surprise that crafting with this purely gambling method results in failed attempts.

Item Level

Many players making their first attempt at high-value crafting in Return of the Ancients make a very common mistake: focusing only on the affix name and ignoring the affix level.

In PoE 2 crafting system, Item Level determines many hidden relationships, the most important of which is the nerfing mechanism.

Simply put, during crafting, affixes with lower Item Levels are more likely to be nerfed.

For example: Suppose you want to craft a bow with Tier 1 Critical Strike Chance, Tier 1 Projectiles, and High Damage affixes. On the surface, these attributes seem like endgame choices, but their Item Levels might be completely different.

If the Item Level of a T1 Critical Strike Chance is only 73, while T1 projectiles and other high-level affixes reach 81 or 82, then Critical Strike Chance is actually in a precarious position. During subsequent crafting, if other higher-level affixes are added, it may become the lowest-level attribute, thus affecting the final result.

This is why many experienced players thoroughly research all target affixes before investing a large amount of currency.

Weight

Besides Item Level, Weight is also essential to understand in Return of the Ancients crafting.

Many PoE 2 players wonder why they use a large amount of Path of Exile 2 Currency but still can't get the desired attribute.

The answer usually lies in Weight. Affix Weight determines its probability of appearing. The higher Weight, the easier it is to randomly obtain; the lower Weight, the harder it is to obtain.

For example, if you want to craft a weapon with Tier 1 physical damage, Tier 1 critical strike, and skill level, but the system keeps giving you attributes like life, agility, and mana regeneration, this is perfectly normal. This is because these attributes often have higher weight and are more likely to enter the random pool.

Mirror Weapon

A common misconception in PoE 2 community is that many players use the standards of a Mirror weapon to judge their regular endgame gear.

Mirror-tier crafting pursues the ultimate, requiring consideration of every detail, including perfect fracture, a base quality of 30, top-tier affix combinations, and the tiny probability of a perfect result.

However, if your goal is simply to craft a powerful weapon that can complete Return of the Ancients endgame content, then there's absolutely no need to push all standards to Mirror-tier.

If you're really aiming for that last bit of improvement and investing heavily in maximizing base quality and high-risk crafting, the returns are often less than ideal, sometimes even worse than simply getting a good weapon from the market.

Route Planning

In PoE 2 Patch 0.5, before crafting high-value gear, it's best to take the time to clarify your goals.

You need to know which affixes you ultimately want, which attributes are acceptable, and which should be discarded if they appear. Also, confirm the weight and item level of these affixes to determine if they affect each other.

Additionally, you need to know: does the failed crafted item have market value?

If a failed, unsatisfactory semi-finished item can still be sold for currency, your crafting risk is greatly reduced. However, if it can only be discarded after failure, then it's a high-risk gamble.

Crafting gear in PoE 2 is a resource management game. Checking affix data and calculating costs more often can prevent a huge waste.

The fun of crafting gear lies in creating exceptional items, but a truly stable crafting method is always built on planning and understanding the mechanics.

As the month draws to a close, how's your 5th Inning XP Path coming along?

MLB The Show 26 is already preparing updates for 6th Inning XP Path, Weekend Classic, July Spotlight Drop 3, and the new Cornerstone Program, all launching simultaneously on July 31st.

Based on current player community feedback, 6th Inning XP Path is arguably one of the most anticipated updates of the day, while New Cornerstone Program is a key long-term progression system for Diamond Dynasty this year. It seems the last day of July will be quite packed.

Furthermore, a new program will launch on August 3rd to complement the events starting in August. Let's predict what new gameplay and cards these new events will bring to MLB 26 players.

6th Inning XP Path

XP Path has always been one of the most anticipated aspects for players, as it determines whether ordinary players can obtain some powerful player cards for free.

In previous Inning XP Path rewards typically included Boss Choice Packs, regular card packs, a large number of Stubs, Ballplayer rewards, and Collection resources. Looking at Boss Choice Pack players from 4th and 5th Inning XP Paths, an interesting pattern emerges:

Boss Choice Packs

4th Inning XP Path:

• Roger Clemens (97OVR)
• Rafael Devers (97OVR)

5th Inning XP Path:

• Shohei Ohtani (99OVR)
• Mike Trout (99OVR)

These four players excel in different positions in the game, but in real-world matches, they are all game-changing powerhouses.

• Roger Clemens, a legendary pitcher, a seven-time Cy Young Award winner, and with over 4,000 strikeouts in his career, is the kind of pitcher who can instantly transform the strength of a ranked lineup once acquired.
• Rafael Devers, slightly inferior to Roger Clemens, is crucial for left-handed hitters in MLB The Show 26, especially against right-handed pitchers. His value in the meta environment will be even more pronounced, as he represents the archetype of a modern power hitter.
• Shohei Ohtani, an MLB legend, can dominate in real-world pitching and create extra-base hits. In MLB 26, he's one of the few all-around players who simultaneously provides top-tier power, speed, pitching value, and lineup flexibility, making him extremely valuable.
• Mike Trout, equally formidable, was considered one of the most complete five-tool players of the 21st century at his peak. He consistently maintained high batting averages, on-base percentages, and top-tier defense in real-world games. In the game, he also excels in speed, power, and catching ability - all top-tier attributes.

Based on the characteristics of these four players, we can confidently predict Boss Choice Pack roster for 6th Inning XP Path, including Ken Griffey Jr., Pedro Martínez, and Chipper Jones.

Ken Griffey Jr., in particular, is currently the most anticipated player among fans. He's a top-tier left-handed power outfielder, possessing speed, defense, arm strength, and hitting ability, making him consistently popular on the field.

If a 99OVR Ken Griffey Jr. were to emerge, his CF and RF competitiveness would be extremely strong, almost certainly making him a hot trade target in MLB The Show 26 player market.

Pedro Martínez, at his peak, was arguably one of the most formidable pitchers in baseball history, winning three Cy Young Awards. He boasted an exceptionally high strikeout rate and was a master of control.

His greatest strength wasn't just groundspeed, but his highly deceptive breaking balls and precise ball control. Fans hold him in extremely high regard.

Chipper Jones, one of the best third basemen from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, was the 1999 NL MVP, hitting over 300 home runs in his career. His greatest strengths lay in his top-tier left-handed hitting ability and excellent pitch selection, resulting in consistent and reliable performances on the field.

One reason he's a predicted card is the scarcity of third base in MLB The Show 26, and his position has been a popular choice in previous installments.

Weekend Classic

Weekend Classic is a limited-time competitive mode for high-level players in MLB The Show 26 Diamond Dynasty, essentially an enhanced version of Solo Ranked.

It transforms the single-player mode of Ranked Seasons of a weekend ranking event, typically featuring special rules, limited rewards, and the most representative highly competitive gameplay.

You can earn extra rewards by playing consecutive games, and higher-level rewards based on your ranking.

Following past reward mechanisms, in addition to the card packs, MLB 26 Stubs, Player Rewards, and Choice Packs earned in each game, top-ranked players can receive additional rewards, such as top players, which can help players quickly bolster their Diamond Dynasty roster.

These players typically possess excellent speed, strength, and outlier abilities; once their overall rating reaches 97 or higher, they may directly enter the mainstream roster of Ranked Seasons.

July Spotlight Drop 3

Spotlight series typically fills in the gaps in MLB The Show 26 with the month's top performers, current MLB game favorites, and free mission rewards.

Late July coincides with the final stages of All-Star event and a peak period for player performances, so July Spotlight Drop 3 is likely to feature regular rewards of 95-97 OVR and Lightning or special rewards of 98-99 OVR.

Player selections will focus on players with outstanding stats from the current season and those performing well in All-Star event. Players can also lock in some young core players based on their stats and stockpile them, hoping to profit significantly if they improve in July Spotlight Drop 3.

New Cornerstone Program

Cornerstone Program is a new and important system in MLB The Show 26. Completing progress through Moments and Missions unlocks a free player's exclusive card. Currently released Cornerstone players are Travis Hafner and Carlos Correa, both of whom are strong in the early and mid-game but not suitable for the late game.

Therefore, Cornerstone Program's reward players can serve as a smooth transition for players in the new phase.

Based on this characteristic, the selection of Cornerstone Program reward players on July 31st mainly follows two directions: young superstars (such as Julio Rodríguez) and low-level legendary players (whose value can be increased or evolved through later missions).

The specific list of reward players and update details will be released on July 31st. If you don't want to miss it, follow EZG Facebook; we will update the latest information in real time. Also, to make the new gameplay easier for you, we have prepared a lot of free stubs giveaways-come and participate!

There are 2 days left until the above event goes live. What you need to do now is:

1. Don't sell your collection cards recklessly.

A large number of collections may be needed on July 31st.

2. Save XP resources.

If you are close to 5th Inning XP Path Boss, don't consume your rewards prematurely; wait for 6th Inning XP Path to open.

3. Save stubs.

If a popular, powerful player card appears in the update, acquiring it will require a significant amount of Stubs.

Overall, July 31st is expected to be the second major milestone moment for MLB The Show 26 this summer.

FUTTIES Gauntlet is now available in EA FC 26, offering players the best chance to acquire top-tier free cards in the late game. Complete a certain number of missions to earn a FUTTIES Tomori card, two evolution cards, and numerous high-value gold card packs.

You might think these challenges are incredibly difficult, but they're not. FUTTIES Gauntlet isn't particularly challenging, and most importantly, you don't need to complete all ten challenges. Simply complete any 8 out of the 10 challenges to claim all the rewards.

This article will provide you with everything you need to complete FIFA 26 FUTTIES Gauntlet, helping you successfully complete the challenges and earn the rewards. What are you waiting for? Let's take a look!

FUTTIES Gauntlet Works

FUTTIES Gauntlet contains 10 different missions. To unlock the main rewards, you only need to complete 8 of them. This flexible mechanism allows you to strategically skip the most difficult or time-consuming challenges depending on time constraints.

Each completed task contributes to your progress, allowing efficient players to complete multiple challenges simultaneously without having to tackle them one by one.

These challenges revolve around specific match performances in Challenge mode, including scoring goals, winning multiple matches in a single round, and achieving a perfect round (winning all). However, all rewards earned through these objectives are non-tradable and can only be used to build your team or as material for player SBCs.

Tasks and Rewards

The main reward of FC 26 FUTTIES Gauntlet is FUTTIES Tomori card, a fully customizable card that can be added to evolution cards for further upgrades. This is incredibly useful in FUT 26, especially when your defense is constantly shaky and barely holding on.

Below, I will explain all the tasks and rewards in FUTTIES Gauntlet: Scoring at least one goal in FUTTIES Challenge earns 20 FUTTIES Tokens; scoring at least one goal in four different matches earns 30 FUTTIES Tokens; winning at least two matches in a single round earns a pack containing 10 85+ Rare Gold Players.

Winning at least two matches in a single round, completing this twice, earns 25 FUTTIES Tokens and one Evolution unlock. This is one of the two challenges essential for unlocking Evolutions.

Winning at least three matches in a single round, completing this twice, earns 5 packs of 90+ Rare Gold Players. This challenge also unlocks You Shall Not Pass Evolution for your chosen center-back, making it well worth completing.

Scoring at least one goal in eight different matches earns 5 packs of 91+ Rare Gold Players. Scoring at least one goal in twelve different matches earns you five packs of 90+ Rare Gold Players and two packs of 89+ Rare Gold Players.

Completing a perfect round in FIFA 26 FUTTIES Gauntlet rewards you with one of three 88+ Rare Gold Players and six packs of 90+ Rare Gold Players. Completing two perfect rounds in FUTTIES Challenge rewards you with five packs of 90+ Rare Gold Players and two packs of 89+ Rare Gold Players.

Tips for Efficiently Completing

The key to efficiency is winning streaks. You want every FIFA 26 match you play to count towards multiple missions simultaneously.

Skipping Perfect Rounds

If you want to avoid the more difficult challenges, the two missions most worth skipping are those requiring perfect rounds (winning all matches in a single round without losing). Perfect rounds require consistent performance under pressure, and if you struggle with them, it can severely hinder your progress.

Prioritize Aggressive Play

To efficiently complete the challenge, focus on scoring multiple goals in each match to achieve the scoring and winning objectives as early as possible. Scoring in 12 different matches is the most time-consuming goal-scoring objective.

By consistently scoring, you can complete various goal-scoring objectives faster, such as scoring in 4 different matches or 8 different matches. This positive mindset will naturally put you in a favorable position to win matches.

Sequence Your Rounds

Don't worry about individual losses. If you achieve a 2-0 or 3-0 score and ultimately win, congratulations! But even if you lose a match, your completed objectives will be retained and count towards your goal progress. This eliminates the pressure of a perfect winning streak, which is why we skip the perfect round objective.

Is FUTTIES Gauntlet Worth?

Fikayo Tomori, a highlight of FUT 26 event, is absolutely worth your effort. Because this card is fully customizable and can be further upgraded through evolution, it can be a flexible option for your defense.

The base version of Fikayo Tomori already boasts amazing speed and physical strength, and FUTTIES further elevates him to a top-tier defender with incredible agility, rivaling even top-class attackers. Most importantly, he's free, obtainable by completing 8 out of 10 missions, making him a huge upgrade for any team needing a reliable center-back.

Therefore, overall, he's well worth the time and effort, especially for free-to-play players - why miss such a great opportunity to acquire a top-tier card?

In addition, the evolution cards obtained from completing Gauntlet are also crucial, as they are unrelated to Tomori. You don't have to use them for new cards; you can apply them to other players in your team who might be better suited for upgrades. This flexibility is extremely useful in the later stages of Ultimate Team, as you may have other players you want to upgrade.

This concludes the article about FIFA 26 FUTTIES Gauntlet. If you want to know more, follow EZG Facebook, where there are regular giveaways to help you quickly accumulate resources and win more matches. 

This FUTTIES Gauntlet is a crucial opportunity for you to obtain top-tier cards in the final stage of FC 26, so don't miss it! Give it a try now and good luck!

In Lord of Hatred, Diablo 4 completely redesigned the gem system, adjusting the attributes of various gems and introducing two new gem tiers: Horadric Gem and Flawless Horadric Gem.

Flawless Horadric Sapphire is a rare and powerful gem that increases frost damage and frost resistance. However, players typically need to spend up to twenty hours farming for just one.

But in Season 14, Season of Death Awakening, a bug allows players to farm Flawless Horadric Sapphires in just one hour. This bug has not yet been fixed.

Core Mechanics

Normally, farming Flawless Horadric Sapphire in Diablo 4 was a lengthy process:

Players needed to collect a large number of Sapphire Fragments, then use them to craft five Horadric Sapphires, and finally use Horadric Cubes to combine Horadric Sapphires into a Flawless Horadric Sapphire.

Previously, players could farm these fragments in Nightmare Dungeons and craft Flawless Horadric Sapphires, but this process was extremely time-consuming.

In Season 14, this changed. First, players could unlock Branching Pathways, nodes related to Nightmare Dungeons, through War Plan system.

Branching Pathways allowed players to choose from several bonus affixes at the end of each Nightmare Dungeon level, including Gem Reserve - which granted players more gem fragments.

More importantly, the benefits of this affix increased significantly with each level. According to player testing, level 3 is the most suitable level for farming gem fragments. This is because level 3 has moderate difficulty and offers very substantial affix rewards.

However, Nightmare Dungeons currently has a bug: according to player feedback, if a player selects escalating Nightmare Dungeons and teleports back to town, returning to the dungeon may reset it to a normal dungeon, no longer retaining the escalating status.

Under certain conditions, players can exploit this phenomenon to reset Nightmare Dungeons, causing all chests and enemies to respawn immediately, but the affixes will remain unchanged.

Therefore, players can repeatedly farm Nightmare Dungeons level 3 to obtain a large number of Sapphire Fragments in a short time, thus quickly farming Diablo 4 Flawless Horadric Sapphire. This will save a significant amount of time compared to the normal farming method.

Operation Flow

Now that we understand the mechanics, we can proceed with the specific operations.

Obtaining Affix Combination

The first and most time-consuming step in this farming method is obtaining the ideal affix combination in the first two levels of Nightmare Dungeon.

First, players need to farm Gem Reserve of the target type. Since the target is Sapphire Fragments, Sapphire Reserve is required.

Second, players need to farm Dark Omen. This affix has a special effect in Nightmare Dungeon; players will definitely encounter The Butcher in Dungeon, and there is also a chance to encounter Treasure Goblin or Helltide Boss. Defeating these monsters will reward players with additional Gem Shards.

Resetting Dungeon

Once players successfully farm the target affix and enter the third level, they should clear all chests on that level and defeat the additional boss summoned by Dark Omen, but not the final boss of that level.

Next, players need to teleport back to the main city and then randomly enter a normal dungeon, such as Seer's Reach in Skovos region.

Upon entering the normal dungeon, players need to immediately open Sanctuary map and teleport directly back to the third level of Nightmare Dungeon.

If done correctly, players will find that the dungeon level has been completely reset - all chests are openable again, Dark Omen boss can be defeated again, and the player's affix combination remains unchanged. At this point, players can begin a new round of opening chests and farming gem shards.

Additionally, players can activate Recurring Nightmare node. In Diablo 4 Season 14, this affix gives Nightmare Dungeon boss a chance to drop Escalation Sigils - essential items for unlocking Nightmare Dungeon, thus enabling infinite Nightmare Dungeon farming.

Efficiency Comparison

According to experiences shared by Diablo 4 players in the community, if this farming method is applied on Torment XII difficulty, a single chest in Nightmare Dungeon's third level can yield approximately 270,000 target-type gem shards, and defeating Dark Omen boss can yield approximately 750,000 shards.

With such incredible efficiency, this player obtained a Flawless Horadric Gem in less than an hour. In comparison, traditional farming methods would take nearly 20 hours to achieve the same result, making it dozens of times less efficient.

Potential Risks

However, since this method exploits a bug in Diablo 4 Season 14, it carries potential risks. Once this bug is fixed, players will no longer be able to farm Flawless Horadric Gems, and of course, Flawless Horadric Sapphires, in such a short time.

This bug bypasses the normal dungeon reset process and significantly increases shard acquisition efficiency, clearly contradicting the design team's original intentions; therefore, its fixing is inevitable.

In fact, some players have already reported the existence of this bug to the developers. Based on past experience, the developers may fix it when it becomes widely known in the player community. Currently, the bug is known to many players, and it is very likely to be fixed in a few days.

The above is a method for quickly farming Flawless Horadric Sapphire in Diablo 4 Season 14, Season of Death Awakening. In addition, you can follow EZG Facebook; we may be giving away gifts to followers in the future, which may include Flawless Horadric Sapphire.

If you want to use this farming method, please act quickly before the bug is fixed.
