Diablo 4 Season 11 Best Charge Auradin Paladin Build: Charge Auradin Guide for Damage and Top-Tier Endgame Performance
In Diablo 4 Season 11, Auradin Paladin build has showcased an incredibly rich and diverse range of playstyles, giving rise to multiple different build directions, ranging from high-survivability defensive configurations to explosive, high-damage output combinations.
In my opinion, Charge Auradin build is the strongest. Its core mechanic revolves around Shield Charge skill, which can deal astonishing damage: a single charge can inflict trillions of damage, and under ideal conditions, even higher peaks, making it the top build in Season 11 for map clearing efficiency and boss killing ability.
More importantly, this build replaces the basic movement skill with Shield Charge, meaning that every movement you make in the game delivers a high-damage impact. You don’t need to press any other keys for special actions; you achieve efficient damage output simply by moving.
Moreover, Charge Auradin build distinguishes itself from other Auradin variants thanks to its outstanding versatility and consistency, enabling it to stay dominant in virtually any in-game scenario. It is an essential build for Diablo 4 players looking for a top-tier gameplay experience. This guide will break down its setup in detail.
How it Works?
Charge Auradin build shares similarities with other classic Auradin builds because it combines runes to summon a pack of wolves and a mercenary to increase multiple sources of damage. Simultaneously, we combine this with Holy Light Aura, causing our character to passively emit light, dealing even more damage to enemies.
And thanks to Shield Charge and Relentless Charge attribute bonuses, combined with unique rings, this build is incredibly durable while maintaining extreme damage output.
However, this build requires Mythic Uniques, which you need to obtain by completing high-difficulty tasks in D4S11. If you don’t have Mythic Uniques yet, don’t worry, we’ve also prepared an alternative build for your reference.
Core Build
Because Charge Auradin build’s damage increases with attack speed, we prioritize stacking a large amount of attack speed to deliver devastating blows to enemies.
Gear (Mythic Endgame)
For equipment, we use Dawnfire gloves to enhance the power of Holy Light Aura, increasing the chance of dealing double damage. We also use Heir of Perdition to increase critical hit damage by 60%. Most importantly, Ring of Starless Skies is one of the best sources of attack speed in the game. And thanks to the bonuses from Shield Charge and Relentless Charge, it can also provide this build with a 50% multiplicative damage increase.
However, it’s worth noting that this ring is difficult to obtain; you only have a chance to get it or other Diablo 4 items by defeating Duriel, King of Maggots. Besides this, you will need the following equipment:
- Helm: Heir of Perdition
- Chest armor: Shroud of False Death
- Gloves: Dawnfire
- Pants: Aspect of the Indomitable
- Boots: Wildbolt Aspect
- Weapon: Griswold’s Opus
- Amulet: Aspect of Proselytizing
- Ring 1: Ring of Starless Skies
- Ring 2: Aspect of Holy Punishment
- Offhand: Herald of Zakarum
Gear (No Mythic Endgame)
To maximize the damage of Holy Light Aura, we choose Dawnfire and Griswold’s Opus. This way, when enemies die within the aura, the damage dealt by Dawnfire is increased by another 50%. Herald of Zakarum also provides you with an additional 50% strength and extra damage bonus. Besides the above equipment, you will need to supplement with the following:
- Helm: Aspect of Loyalty
- Chest armor: Aspect of Disobedience
- Gloves: Dawnfire
- Pants: Aspect of the Indomitable
- Boots: Wildbolt Aspect
- Weapon: Griswold’s Opus
- Amulet: Aspect of Proselytizing
- Ring 1: Accelerating Aspect
- Ring 2: Aspect of Holy Punishment
- Offhand: Herald of Zakarum
Paragon Board
First, we choose Castle, which effectively converts defense into attack power. This means that the armor you accumulate will not only reduce damage taken but also increase attack strength through Castle. Secondly, Beacon is important; when our wolves and mercenaries are within the aura, the damage you deal is increased by 90%.
In addition to the selection of Legendary Nodes, we also need to upgrade all the selected Paragon Glyphs to level 100. Below are the complete Legendary Nodes and Paragon Glyphs; be sure to pay attention to their order to ensure you don’t make any mistakes during the upgrade process.
Legendary Nodes
- Castle
- Shield Bearer
- Preacher
- Beacon
Paragon Glyphs
- Spirit
- Judicator
- Canny
- Exploit
- Challenger
Skill Trees (Mythic Endgame)
Because we chose Castle in Paragon Board, which allows for more damage output through armor, we’ve selected skills with more armor attributes, such as En Garde, which increases armor by 30% and block chance by 15%.
Besides some active skills, our key passive skill is Coat of Arms, which provides a significant damage bonus based on our armor and block capabilities. In addition to the two important skills mentioned above, you will need the following active skills:
- Holy Bolt
- En Garde
- Holy Light Aura
- Defiance Aura
- Fanaticism Aura
- Shield Charge
- The Best Offense
- Resolute
- Crack in the Armor
- Righteousness
Skill Trees (No Mythic Endgame)
To compensate for the lack of Mythic Uniques, we need to add Modifiers to the three Aura skills to enhance damage. For Holy Light Aura, we need to add Enhanced Holy Light and Rite of Mercy; for Defiance Aura, add Enhanced Defiance and Rite of Might; and for Fanaticism Aura, add Enhanced Fanaticism and Rite of Vengeance.
Besides these additional Modifiers, here are all the active skills you need:
- En Garde
- Holy Bolt
- Holy Light Aura
- Defiance Aura
- Fanaticism Aura
- Shield Charge
- Resolute
- The Best Offense
That’s the complete Auradin Paladin build, boasting incredible damage and unbelievable survivability. Its smooth and fluid performance in the game will surely surprise you. We hope you enjoy using it and achieve great results!
Diablo 4 Season 11 All 6 Capstone Dungeons Guide: Locations, Requirements, Bosses, and Rewards
Capstone Dungeons, a special type of Dungeon in Diablo 4, are not like regular or Nightmare Dungeons with randomized content. Instead, ir difficulty, layout, enemies, and objectives are all fixed. They are designed by the game developers to test whether players have the strength to challenge higher difficulty content.
Although Capstone Dungeons were removed in previous seasons because of their excessive difficulty, they have returned with the introduction of Paladin, the strongest class in Diablo 4’s history. However, they are no longer tied to difficulty levels, but are used to unlock higher seasonal ranks and reward skill points and Paragon points.
This guide will introduce the six Capstone Dungeons in Diablo 4 Season 11 and guide you on how to complete them.
Vault of the Crucible
Vault of the Crucible is located in Kehjistan and is a prerequisite for unlocking Season Rank 2. Here is its basic information and completion rewards:
Requirement:
- Hard difficulty
Monster Level:
- 30
Unlocks:
- Season Rank II
Objectives:
- Enter Gateway
- Collect Animus from Animus Carriers
- Deposit Animus into Animus Urn
- Defeat Demonic Automaton
- Travel to Scorching Furnace
- Slay Barrier Wardens x3
- Travel to Besieged Vault
- Slay Enemies
- Travel to Curator’s Forge
- Defeat Curator
Rewards:
- Skill Points x2
- Smoldering Ashes x1
- Seasonal Rewards
Vault of the Crucible is the first Capstone Dungeon in D4S11. It looks similar to other dungeons. However, when you approach Scorching Furnace, you will receive a warning that “the area is swelteringly hot” and will continuously take heat damage.
To counter this mechanic, you need to go to Ice Aegises to be protected from heat damage. To ensure player safety, Ice Aegises will continue to protect you for 10 seconds after you leave. Of course, if your Life on Hit or Life on Kill attributes are high, you can ignore the heat damage and continue.
To complete Vault of the Crucible, you must defeat the dungeon’s final boss, Curator. It attacks with a large scythe, and when its health is reduced to half, it will summon a Demonic Automaton to assist it.
However, there are two Ice Aegises in Curator’s room, so this fight is not very difficult. Defeating Curator and Demonic Automaton will complete this Capstone Dungeon.
Hellish Descent
Hellish Descent is located in Wailing Hills of Scosglen. It is a prerequisite for unlocking Season Rank 3. Here is its basic information and completion rewards:
Requirement:
- Penitent difficulty

Rewards:

- Smoldering Ashes x1
- Seasonal Rewards
Before entering Capstone Dungeons, Burning Butchers will continuously spawn on the map, and you will be constantly attacked by them. To fill the altars, you need to lure enemies into the red circles and kill them; otherwise, it won’t count towards your progress.
When you reach Hellish Descent, continuous meteor showers will inflict fire damage, so it’s best to increase your fire resistance before entering. The final boss of this level is Elias. After defeating him, you can unlock Season Rank 3 and subsequent Capstone Dungeons.
Enclave of Darkness
Enclave of Darkness is located in Westering Lowlands of Scosglen. You can reach it by walking from Firebreak Manor to Donan’s Storehouse, or by using the season rank tab. This level is a prerequisite for unlocking Season Rank 4. Below is its basic information and completion rewards:
Requirement:
- Torment I difficulty
Monster Level:

Unlocks:

- Slay Khazra Defenders x3
- Travel to Coliseum of Shadows
- Defeat Entwined Souls
Rewards:
- Paragon Points x4

- Seasonal Rewards
Due to the pitch-black darkness inside Enclave of Darkness, navigation is very difficult. To see your way forward, you need to interact with the illuminators in different areas of the map. They are usually blue, but only provide light for 20 seconds.
In the final battle, you will encounter Dorfnast and Telsyan. Their room has three lights, which you need to light simultaneously to see and attack them. Upon completing this dungeon, in addition to the regular rewards, you will also receive Season Rank Laurel.
Den of the Apostate
Located in Southern Expanse of Kehjistan, Den of the Apostate is a prerequisite for unlocking Season Rank 5. Below is its basic information and completion rewards:
Requirement:
- Torment II difficulty
Monster Level:
- Pit Tier 30
Unlocks:
- Season Rank V
Objectives:
- Destroy Tempest Altars x3
- Travel to Tempest’s Respite
- Defeat Enthralled Specter
- Travel to Perilous Passage (aka Chaotic Passage)
- Slay Barrier Wardens x3
- Travel to Perilous Passage (aka Balfour’s Den)
- Slay Tormented Druids x3
- Travel to Profaned Altars
- Defeat Balfour, Disciple of Airidah
Rewards:
- Paragon Points x4
- Smoldering Ashes x1
- Seasonal Rewards
This Capstone Dungeon doesn’t have any special mechanics compared to the previous ones; you simply fight Rift Fiends and Warp Hounds. As long as your equipment is properly configured, you can easily defeat them. However, the ultimate boss is Balfour, Disciple of Airidah, located in a room with 3 Tempest Altars.
Every time you reduce Balfour’s health by one-third, the altar will release 2 Tormented Druids and a Chaos Bringer. Defeating these elite and champion monsters weakens the altar’s energy. To successfully complete this dungeon, you must defeat both Balfour and all three altars simultaneously.
Upon completing Den of the Apostate, you will also receive Paragon Points and a Smoldering Ashes, which can be used to enhance your character’s abilities.
Breach of Sin
Breach of Sin is located in Southern Expanse of Dry Steppes. Completing this quest will grant you Season Rank 6. Here is its basic information and completion rewards:
Requirement:
- Torment III difficulty
Monster Level:
- Pit Tier 45
Unlocks:
- Season Rank VI
Objectives:
- Destroy Demon Gates x3
- Travel to Dominion of Sin
- Destroy Demon Gate
- Defeat Azmodan
Rewards:
- Paragon Points x4
- Smoldering Ashes x1
- Seasonal Rewards
In this Dungeon, you must destroy 4 Demon Gates before facing the final boss, Azmodan. During this time, you can ignore the enemies blocking your path to Demon Gates, as damaging them does not count towards the quest objectives.
When you destroy the last Demon Gate, Azmodan will appear and unleash large fire effects, attacking you with its legs. Therefore, you must keep moving and deplete its health as much as possible. Defeating it completes Breach of Sin.
Echo of Hatred
Echo of Hatred is located in Fractured Peaks. You can find it near Nevesk Waypoint in Desolate Highlands of Fractured Peaks. Here is its basic information and completion rewards:
Requirement:
- Torment I difficulty
Objectives:
- Approach Throne
- Defeat Echo of Lilith
Reward:
- Resplendent Spark
Echo of Hatred is one of the most difficult Capstone Dungeons in Diablo 4 Season 11. Before challenging it, you need to enhance your movement speed and immunity attributes to be fully prepared.
When entering Echo of Hatred labyrinth, you must first head north and cross several bridges to find the throne room, where you will face the ultimate boss, Lilith. She is the ultimate enemy in Diablo 4, possessing immense attack power and health. You will need to defeat her in two phases to overcome her.
In the first phase, Lilith will create Blood Blisters and generate Blood Orbs around them. You must avoid these Blood Orbs, as they will inflict debuffs on you. Towards the end of this phase, Lilith will summon Oppressors to assist her, but these Oppressors have low health, so defeating them shouldn’t be a problem.
In the second phase, Lilith will generate four Blood Pools, which will continuously produce Blood Orbs. Besides avoiding these Blood Orbs, you must also dodge Lilith’s various attacks. At this point, movement speed bonuses become very important. While constantly moving, you need to continuously attack Lilith until you defeat her.
Defeating Lilith for the first time with a character will reward you with a Resplendent Spark, which is crucial for crafting Mythic Uniques.
With this, you have completed all Capstone Dungeons in Diablo 4 Season 11. We hope this guide has been helpful to you in the game.
Diablo 4 Season 11 Best Zenith Paladin Build | Gear, Skills & Paragon Guide
Diablo 4 Season 11 is already in its mid-to-late stages, and many players are building stronger builds to level up and earn rewards more effectively. In my gaming experience, Zenith Paladin is definitely the most satisfying Paladin build this season. Although many players might overlook its potential because of its less aggressive skill casting rhythm, its actual capabilities are undeniable.
Zenith Paladin in Diablo 4 can hit multiple targets, triggering chain reactions and allowing for efficient clearing of entire areas and bosses in a short time. It can also reset its own cooldowns, enabling a near-continuous damage output cycle, greatly improving the continuity and rhythm of combat.
This build demands a high level of player skill. Once you delve into and master its core gameplay mechanics, you’ll find that this build excels in map clearing efficiency, monster clearing speed, and dungeon progression.
Mastering Zenith Paladin will allow you to achieve higher levels and more rewards by the end of the season. So, how do you build this build? This guide will tell you.
Core Build
Zenith Paladin’s configuration is simple and easy to obtain. Every piece of equipment and skill revolves around the burst damage and sustained combat capabilities of Zenith skill, ensuring efficient monster clearing speed against Helltides or final bosses. Below are the required items.
Gear
- Helm: Heir of Perdition
- Chest armor: Shroud of False Death
- Gloves: Revelator’s Runic Gloves
- Pants: Runic Leggings of the Indomitable
- Boots: Flickerstep
- Weapon: Griswold’s Opus
- Amulet: Ocelot’s Eye of Zealot’s Covenant
- Ring 1: Soulwatch Hoop of Utmost Glory
- Ring 2: Soulwatch Hoop of Jacques’ Fervor
- Offhand: Bone Shield of Apogeic Furor
It’s worth noting that the boots option can be diversified; any will do. However, if you want your build to have the shortest cooldowns and continuously deal damage to monsters, Flickerstep, which reduces cooldowns, is essential.
However, these boots are obtained through boss battles. If you don’t have Flickerstep yet but want the complete build, you can buy Diablo 4 Items from EZG.com to complete your equipment.
In addition, choosing different upgrade skills can also change how Zenith Paladin operates. Here, I recommend Empyrean Edge, which automatically weakens enemies and provides you with a greatly increased critical hit chance, allowing you to concentrate fire and eliminate key targets in a short time.
Skill Trees
Besides some basic skill configurations, I also want to emphasize some more special skills. First is Aegis, which provides 100% block rate for 4 seconds. If your current block rate isn’t very high, you can use this skill to enhance the effect of Aspect of the Indomitable.
Another skill is Falling Star. If Aegis is on cooldown and you want to escape a difficult situation, this skill is a great auxiliary movement skill.
In addition, you need to unlock the following skills:
- Zealot
- Defiance Aura
- Fanaticism Aura
- Holy Light Aura
- Zenith
Paragon Board
Paragon Board is only unlocked after the player reaches level 60, so make sure your level is already 60. We don’t have many changes here; the following are the 5 panels you need to use:
- Start (Spirit): Increases critical hit damage against enemies by 4.4%
- Castle (Chip): Increases damage taken by enemies by 1%-15%, lasting up to 15 seconds
- Relentless (Feverous): Increases damage dealt by 5%
- Preacher (Outmatch): Adds a 60% bonus to all nodes in the area
- Shield Bearer (Honed): Increases critical hit skill damage by 7.1%
Usage Scenarios
Based on Zenith Paladin’s exceptional mobility, this build’s flexibility in Diablo 4 Season 11 is far superior to other Paladin builds, and even more advantageous in certain scenarios. It can not only efficiently clear maps but also utilize frequent movement to avoid damage in boss battles.
The above are the core build and usage scenarios for Zenith Paladin. This build not only has consistent output capabilities but can also unleash a large amount of damage in a short time.
Most importantly, its movement is extremely fluid, allowing for higher damage hit rates. If you want to better control the pace of combat in the game, then this is a build you must try at the end of the season. Use it in the game and experience a different kind of smooth gameplay!
Diablo 4 Season 11 Best Bleed Barbarian Build: Gear, Skill Tree & Paragon Board Setup
In Diablo 4 Season 11, Barbarian, a brutal and powerful warrior with unparalleled strength, is one of the most beloved classes among players.
However, due to the significant nerf to Rage of Harrogath in Season 11, Barbarian gameplay has undergone a major change, fundamentally altering how many builds function. The once dominant Rupture build has seen a substantial decline in strength.

Therefore, Barbarian players need to shift towards a playstyle that focuses more on sustained damage and consistency. Here, we recommend a Bleed Barbarian build that no longer relies on Rage of Harrogath, but instead uses Shattered Vow, combined with Flay skill, to generate excess damage.
Next, I will introduce all the information about this Bleed Barbarian build.
Suitable Scenarios
This build is ideal for challenging content, easily handling Belial and performing exceptionally well in the following scenarios:
- Helltide;
- Nightmare Dungeons;
- Infernal Hordes;
- The Pit.
As long as we hit the target, it almost instantly dies, allowing for consistent damage output and easy mob clearing.
Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages:
- Outstanding defense;
- Extremely high damage output;
- Simple and stable gameplay.
Disadvantages:
- Slightly delayed boss death rate;
- Slightly slower clearing speed.
Bleed Barbarian boasts very high damage output. It's also one of the most durable Barbarian builds, offering good self-healing, sustained defense, and strong damage reduction. While its clearing speed is slightly slower when facing large groups of enemies, its damage output remains very high.
The only thing to note is that because we're using a Bleed build, our damage is continuous; monsters don't die instantly. This slight delay in death might be slightly uncomfortable for players accustomed to one-hit kills.
Build Core
For Bleed Barbarian build, our primary core is Flay + Shattered Vow.
Flay, as a Barbarian skill, deals 5.5% damage to enemies and inflicts 115% bleed damage over 5 seconds. This skill needs to be paired with an execute weapon, and since Bleed build requires a passive, continuous damage mechanism, we choose Shattered Vow.
Shattered Vow, as an Ancestral Mythic Unique Polearm, deals significant damage continuously, perfectly complementing our build core. It also provides consistent damage without cooldown limitations, allowing us to perform well even in high-difficulty dungeons.
Gear
- Helm: Harlequin Crest;
- Chest: Rage of Harrogath (still useful, but no longer a core item);
- Gloves: Aspect of the Moonrise;
- Pants: Aspect of the Iron Warrior;
- Boots: Hooves of the Mountain God;
- Weapons: Shattered Vow (essential), Crystal Greatsword;
- Rings: Ring of Starless Skies, Bold Chieftain's Aspect;
- Amulet: Aspect of Adaptability.
These are Diablo 4 items we need to equip for this build. The rarest is Harlequin Crest, a Mythic Unique Helm with a relatively low drop rate in the game.
You can try farming it by summoning high-level bosses, but the drop rate is quite random; you can also craft it using 2 Resplendent Sparks; or if you have enough Obols, you can try gambling at Purveyor of Curiosities, but the drop rate is even lower.
Skill Tree
First, we need to unlock Flay skill to Battle Flay, then Tempered Fury and Endless Fury, maximizing the damage of our Fury skill.
Next, you need to unlock Strategic Ground Stomp, our Upgrade Barbarian Skill, which reduces the cooldown of Ultimate Skill based on the number of enemies hit by Ground Stomp.
While increasing damage, we also need to increase our defense, so we need to unlock Imposing Presence and Martial Vigor, increasing the character's maximum health and the debuffs inflicted on enemies.
In addition, you also need to unlock:
- Belligerance;
- Enhanced Iron Skin;
- Challenging Shout;
- Swiftness;
- Aggressive Resistance;
- Booming Voice;
- Enhanced War Cry;
- Pit Fighter;
- Slaying Strike;
- No Mercy.
In general, you can focus your skill tree unlocks on increasing critical hit chance, damage over time, and defense.
Paragon Board
Paragon Board unlocks at player level 60, so make sure you're level 60. Combining this with the build content, you'll need to unlock five panels:
- Starting Board (Marshal): Provides a buff to all magical nodes within range;
- Flawless Technique (Wrath): Increases critical strike chance by 50%;
- Hemorrhage (Executioner): Increases weapon damage;
- Blood Rage (Challenger);
- Carnage (Ire): Increases attack speed when the character lands a critical strike.
These panels work together to maximize the build's advantages, making you faster and more lethal in combat.
With all the gear equipped, this is the most complete Bleed Barbarian build for Season 11. The character has extremely high tankiness and can even challenge high-level The Pit, defeating layer after layer of bosses. This build can handle almost everything in the game, and it's incredibly easy to play. The addition of Shattered Vow makes the game even more fun. The only downside is the nerf to Rage of Harrogath.
If you want a super-defensive Barbarian in Diablo 4 Season 11 that can easily handle all high-difficulty matchups, then this Flay + Shattered Vow Bleed Barbarian Build is the perfect choice. Good luck completing the game!
Diablo 4 Season 11 Materials & Currencies Farming Guide: How To Get Them Fast?
Resources of different attributes are a crucial part of Diablo 4 Season 11 game mechanics, essential for character building, upgrades, and power adjustments.
However, not all items in the game are used. The most sought-after items are often important materials and commonly used currencies. Therefore, Season 11 places great emphasis on resource management, as crafting, sanctification, tempering, and gambling all consume significant resources.

Thus, understanding which resources are essential and how to efficiently stockpile them is more important than blindly playing. Below, I will introduce some essential materials in Diablo 4 and their best acquisition methods.
Important Materials
1. Heavenly Sigil
Sanctification is a new item upgrade system introduced in Season 11 of Diablo 4. This process allows you to re-scalp or upgrade your Mythic gear. However, to perform sanctification, you need to prepare Heavenly Sigil, a unique consumable. Therefore, Heavenly Sigil is essential if you want to upgrade your equipment to the highest level in the game. Heavenly Sigil can drop from the following sources:
- World Bosses;
- Bartuc from Infernal Hordes;
- Dark Citadel caches;
- Kurast Undercity runs;
- Helltide Tortured Gifts;
- The Pit of Artificer;
- Resplendent Chests.
It's worth noting that in the early game, it's most commonly obtained from various chests and gifts. Later in the game, you'll get more from World Bosses, and the higher the difficulty level, the greater the drop rate and quantity.
2. Obducite
Obducite is an equipment upgrade material in D4S11. It can be used in Masterworking to upgrade equipment from level 1 to level 4, thereby improving the equipment's attributes and strength. It can also be used with Neathhiron for a roll effect.
These are reliable sources of Obducite:
- Loot from Infernal Horde;
- Treasure Breach Nightmare Dungeons;
- Defeat bosses in Undercity of Kurast.
Treasure Breach Nightmare Dungeons are a large source of Obducite, and even have a chance to drop some rare runes. However, be aware that there's a limit to the amount of Obducite you can obtain. If you accumulate too much, it will fill your entire screen and prevent you from seeing other items, so be careful not to let it reach the limit.
3. Runes
Runes are special items in Diablo 4 Season 11 that can be used on socketed equipment and armor to provide enhancements. You can also trade them with other players, and most importantly, you can use them to craft Mythic Uniques.
To obtain runes in the game, you must first complete Vessel of Hatred quest. Then acquire different runes through other means:
- Defeat Main Campaign Bosses;
- Complete Kurast Undercity;
- Defeat World Bosses;
- Clear Strongholds for the first time;
- Whisper Caches.
Runes are a coveted resource for every player. However, note that a single rune is ineffective; only by linking two runes to form Runewords can they work synergistically to trigger the desired effect.
4. Scattered Prism
Since runes can be equipped in equipment slots, it's important to consider that each piece of equipment has a limited number of slots. If players want to add additional runes or gems to their Ancestral Gear, they must use Scattered Prism at Jeweler to add extra slots.
Scattered Prism is a Legendary Crafting Material, quite rare in the game, and obtainable only through a few methods.
- It has a chance to drop from World Bosses;
- Hunting Treasure Goblins.
Note that shoes and gloves cannot be socketed using Scattered Prism.
5. Scroll of Restoration
Scroll of Restoration is one of the most important rare consumables in Season 11. It allows you to perfect your gear in the endgame, resetting and reforging it if you're not satisfied with Tempering effect.
Therefore, Scroll of Restoration is especially important in the late game, and its acquisition methods are limited:
- Farming Infernal Hordes;
- Clearing Dark Citadels (exchanging them for Citadel Coins).
Both methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, so you must have sufficient patience.
6. Neathiron
Neathiron became a top-tier gear enhancement material in Season 11. Used in conjunction with Obducite, it affects Masterwork. If you don't get Greater Affix you want, you can use Neathiron and Obducite to re-roll.
Neathiron returned as a Masterworking material in Season 11, with increased drop difficulty:
- It has a chance to drop from defeating World Bosses;
- It can also be obtained by farming goblins in Treasure Breach dungeon.
Common Currencies
1. Obols
Obols are gambling currency in Diablo 4. You can use them at Purveyor of Curiosities, who reside in the main cities of Sanctuary. Obols can be exchanged for random gear or armor. Essentially, it's gambling, as you never know whether you'll end up with something valuable or junk.
One positive aspect is that Obols are relatively easy to obtain; most can drop from random events:
- World Events;
- The Gathering Legions Zone Events;
- Events in Dungeons and Cellars;
- Murmuring Caches from Side Quests;
- The Pit of Artificers;
- Curious Murl (Murmuring ObolsTreasure Goblin).
Players initially can only hold 500 Obols. To increase this limit, players can visit Altars of Lilith, which contain 20 altars, each increasing capacity by 5 points.
2. Grim Favors
Grim Favors are obtained after completing Whispers of the Dead. Collecting 10 Grim Favors allows players to exchange them for a cache at Tree of Whispers, which includes gold, materials, various runes, and even a chance to obtain a Mythic Unique.
Therefore, if you're aimlessly wandering the game and don't know what to do, completing Whispers is definitely your best choice, maximizing your return on investment in time.
The fastest way to farm Grim Favors is to combine Whispers of the Dead with other events, such as Helltides and Seasonal Events. Completing Whispers in Seasonal Events or Helltides will yield more XP and rewards, significantly increasing your acquisition efficiency.
3. Gold
Gold is arguably the most common and prevalent currency in the game, but it's also an essential resource. You can use Diablo 4 gold to trade with NPCs for desired items, and you'll also need to spend a certain amount of gold when crafting equipment.
There are many ways to acquire gold in the game:
- Kill Monsters;
- Complete Whispers;
- Complete Events;
- Complete Side Quests;
- Complete Infernal Hordes;
- Open Chests;
- Search Corpses and Scenery;
- Kill Treasure Goblins, etc.
Diablo 4 Season 11 encourages players to play with purpose and planning, rather than blindly and simply grinding for resources. By understanding the role of key materials in the system and how to acquire them, you can reduce unnecessary time wastage and maintain a stable game pace throughout the season.
