In any Diablo 4 season, the real challenge starts when you enter the endgame. This final stage not only means an increase in the quality and quantity of loot, but also more dangerous enemies.

Therefore, after entering the endgame, in addition to the information you already know about the current season, you should also master additional self-improvement abilities and knowledge to successfully pass the level.

It has been more than a week since Season 9 was launched. If you progress quickly enough, you should have entered or will enter the endgame of this season. Next, we will provide you with key suggestions to help you complete these endgame contents.

Farm Mythic And Unique Items

When facing stronger enemies, in order to ensure your own survival, in addition to improving your attack power, you should also improve your defense as much as possible from multiple aspects. For example, get stronger armor or improve your elemental resistance.

The first thing to do is to work hard to farm mythic and unique items, and in the process, you can also get more Diablo 4 gold to get more usable items for subsequent battles.

Some of these mythic or unique items are armor in themselves, while others can increase your defense and resistance through their affix effects or exclusive powers, improving your ability to fight dangerous bosses.

Craft Incense At The Alchemist

Incense is actually a craftable buff in Diablo 4. After utilizing it, you will gain the corresponding buff effect, which can be enjoyed by you and others around you who can access Incense.

All Incense in the game can be divided into Type I, Type II, and Type III, and the effects of each Incense are unique. Some of them can increase your armor or health to help you survive, such as Song of the Mountain or Reddamine Buzz.

Unlock The Best Paragon Nodes

When you are able to enter Diablo 4 Season 9 endgame, you should have reached the maximum level 60. After that, although you can no longer continue to become stronger through upgrading, Paragon board will provide you with additional ways to upgrade.

After that, you will get a Paragon point for each Paragon level you upgrade, up to level 300, which means you will get 300 Paragon points to unlock various nodes in Paragon system.

All nodes can be divided into four degrees of rarity: normal, magic, rare, and legendary, but all the main effect is to provide you with attribute/damage ability/defense ability bonus.

If you are confident in your damage ability, you can prioritize unlocking nodes that can ensure your survival. It should be noted that the path to unlocking Paragon nodes suitable for you will vary depending on your class.

Master Barrier Tricks

Barrier is also one of the status effects that can be utilized in Diablo 4. It can block damage for you for a certain period of time, and sometimes this effect can even affect NPCs.

More specifically, the barrier can absorb damage from all sources for a certain period of time, up to a certain amount of damage. The sources of the barrier include the skills of the three classes of Barbarian, Druid, and Sorcerer, as well as certain item affixes.

It should be noted that currently other classes can only obtain the barrier ability through related items. Don’t confuse barrier with immune, which only provide full protection in a certain area for a certain period of time and cannot be removed.

Another skill that needs to be introduced is Earthen Bulwark, which can provide barrier effects for Druids. As you know, Druids are the weak class in Season 9, so any available help should be valued.

This skill allows you as a Druid to summon protective rocks around you to form a barrier, absorbing a certain percentage of your damage for a short period of time. However, to fully utilize it, you need 300 offering, and the relevant runes can help you.

Utilize Horadric Spells & Jewels

As the exclusive power and item of Season 9, you should find ways to use Horadric Spells & Jewels to provide you with reliable assistance in all stages.

Among them, Horadric Spells uses three rich elements, Catalyst, Infusion, and Arcana, allowing you to create your own power with maximum freedom to protect yourself while attacking enemies.

Among them, the one that can bring you the protection is represented by Magic Arcana Bottled Wind. After summoning Catalyst, Bottled Wind will bring you a barrier, which is equivalent to 30% of your maximum health and lasts for 4 seconds.

On this basis, you can consume the obtained Horadric Phials and Gem Fragments to craft Horadric Jewels. Although the specific effects of different Horadric Jewels vary, except for possible negative effects, they can all increase your armor and elemental resistance, such as:

• Scornful Light
• Brilliant Sigil
• Horadric Crest
• Seal of Denial
• Horadric Crest

It should be noted that Horadric Jewels can only be socketed in jewelry and can only work after you equip Horadric Spells. In addition, you can only equip 1 Catalyst, 1 Infusion and 3 Arcanas in each battle.

The above are Diablo 4 Season 9 endgame survival tips we provide for you this time, I hope it can help your gaming experience. Thank you for reading.

After the nerfs in the first two seasons to achieve class balance, although now Spiritborn no longer has the outstanding advantages like it in Season 6 and DLC, it still shows extraordinary combat effectiveness in the latest Season 9 through new unique item.

According to the powerful thorn damage provided by Balazan’s Maxtlatl, you can output a lot of damage in Season 9 with the related Quill Volley, Rake or Poison Thorns Spiritborn builds, but the premise is that you can complete the character upgrade.

In fact, the utilization of most advanced builds and the unlocking of more game content are based on your character level reaching the maximum level. We have introduced you to several ways to upgrade in S9 before, and you should also master the appropriate leveling builds base on them.

Therefore, if you want to harvest more Diablo 4 gold and other rare rewards as a Spiritborn in the later stage of the game through more powerful builds, you need to master the appropriate leveling build in the early stage.

Evade-Centric Leveling Build

Unlike mature Spiritborn builds that emphasize thorns or poison damage, leveling builds focus on ending battles quickly to complete the upgrade, so Evade Spiritborn Build will be a suitable leveling choice.

This build is not only fast, but more importantly, it can well integrate the new power Horadric Spells brought by Season 9. And when you finish upgrading and transform to more advanced builds, the similarity between Evade and Rake Build will allow you to adapt faster.

Which Skills Should Be Chosen?

For Evade Spiritborn Build, the choice of active and passive skills is equally important. The focus of active skills is the rotation order, and the passive skills are the allocation of skill points.

Active Skills

First, you should unlock the following active skills for this build:

• Accelerated Thunderspike (5/5)
• Measured Vortex (1/5)
• Measured Soar (1/5)
• Reinforced Counterattack (1/5)
• Reinforced Concussive Stomp (1/5)
• Exalted Hunter (5/5)

The core idea behind this active skill set is to allow you to stab enemies and throw feathers while swiftly moving across the map, or more specifically, to utilize Evade and attack enemies while moving through Thunderspike.

The main damage skill is Storm Feathers, which you can activate when you reach level 15 and unlock Eagle as your main Spirit Hall. This skill causes you to fire feathers while evading, and Evade reset caused by Thunderspike will increase the frequency of feather firing.

This is exactly where Spirit Hall’s choice comes in. Eagle Spirit Hall is the best for this build, not only because it provides enough damage, but also because it can apply vulnerability to enemies, and your critical hit chance increases for every four meters you move.

If you want to focus on evading, you can also replace Concussive Stomp with other skills such as Armored Hide or Toxic Skin. You can also utilize Ravager in between attacks.

Passive Skills

The rule of thumb for choosing passive skills for this build is to provide damage buffs and additional evade chance, and then it is best to upgrade them to the highest level in order of importance as soon as possible.

When allocating skill points to them, you can decide based on your actual combat needs, but if you want to ensure your survivability is reliable enough, prioritize the ultimate passive skill.

• Follow Through
• Mirage
• Unrestrained Power
• Apex
• Swift
• Brilliance
• Acceleration
• Vital Strikes

What Horadric Spells Should You Pair With The Build?

As an extra boost for Season 9, the right Horadric Spells can make the builds more powerful than usual. As you know, Horadric Spells include 3 elements, each with 10-20 options, and the ones suitable for Evade Spiritborn builds include:

• Infusion - Thunderous Particle
• Catalyst - Celestial Surge or Cosmic Anomaly
• Arcana - Invigorating Helix and Volatile Crystal

The combination of Thunderous Particle and Celestial Surge can help you quickly clear enemy-dense areas represented by Horadric Storerooms to farm gold and XP.

If you replace Catalyst choice with Cosmic Anomaly, it will reduce the clearing speed while increasing the sustainability of the build. Invigorating Helix and Volatile Crystal and most Arcanas can improve your survivability.

How To Choose Gear?

Since the main damage source of this build is Storm Feathers, in order to trigger it more frequently, you need to improve the basic skills mainly based on Thunderspike, and the following legendary aspects can do this:

• Aspect of Disobedience
• Aspect of the Moonrise
• Aspect of Adaptability

As for the choice of specific weapons or armor, please give priority to those that can provide the following attribute bonuses:

• Dexterity
• Cooldown Reduction
• Vulnerable Damage
• Crit Chance and Crit Damage
• Storm Feather Potency

Also, although this build does not need to be played by runes, if you have the time to farm runes, CirGar and Cem ritual runes will be good choices. They can increase the critical damage of the build and allow you to refresh Evade more frequently.

The above is all you need to know about the craft Evade Spiritborn Build. If you are playing Spiritborn in Season 9, you might as well follow the guide to practice it in the game!

For each Diablo 4 season, which has not changed much from one to another, the exclusive seasonal powers, dungeons and items should be the most worthy of priority experience, and some items can only be obtained in seasonal dungeons.

In Season 9, the new dungeons include Horadric Strongrooms and Escalating Nightmares. Among them, Horadric Strongrooms is a limited-time micro-dungeon, the entrance is hidden in Escalating Nightmares, and completing it can get seasonal rewards.

Based on this, we will introduce you how to get the required Horadric Spell’s power or other seasonal items by completing Horadric Strongrooms.

What Are Horadric Strongrooms?

As a limited dungeon in Season 9, you can find the entrance to Horadric Strongrooms in Escalating Nightmares or regular nightmare dungeons, but the premise is that you have to obtain Nightmare Sigil to unlock these two nightmare dungeons.

It is worth noting that Escalating Nightmare Sigil will unlock random affixes that can increase the difficulty of the game and earn you more Diablo 4 gold. Witchwater Nightmare Sigil is a guaranteed Horadric Strongrooms encounter.

How To Find Horadric Strongrooms?

Once you have unlocked a Horadric Strongroom, you can utilize Wayfinder to find its portal entrance more quickly, marked by special flashes and sounds nearby. But before entering the portal, you will need to defeat the surrounding enemies guarding it.

In addition to working hard to obtain the relevant Nightmare Sigil, you can also increase your chances of finding the portal by:

• Choosing a higher difficulty.
• Clearing the entire Escalating Nightmare dungeon.
• Utilize the seasonal currency Horadric Phials to upgrade your Wayfinder.

How To Maximize The Benefits Of Horadric Strongrooms?

After entering Horadric Strongrooms, you need to activate Horadric Artifact Pillar and kill the enemies that appear to activate the ritual. After that, please continue to click on the pillars in the new room to generate more waves of enemies to earn more reward drops.

It is worth noting that the higher the game difficulty you choose, the more pillars you can choose, and you can activate as many pillars as allowed. In the end, you will get Horadric Attunement to redeem rewards by completing the dungeon.

In the process of clearing the dungeon, Arcana, a more important element in Horadric Spells, will also drop randomly. If you want to get as many of these drops as possible, it is recommended that you choose pillars that will generate additional ambushes to increase the density of monsters and thus produce more loot.

How To Get More Horadric Attunement?

Among the selectable pillars, some have the effect of providing you with items that can be carried to increase the percentage of coordination, but it should be noted that if you utilize potions or dodge, the items will become invalid.

If you have fast builds and can manage them well with attunement buffs, you should be able to get the most attunement from each clear of Horadric Strongrooms.

You will also get more attunement from defeating larger monsters, or from killing bosses that spawn after reaching attunement level 3. If you interact with multiple pillars to form a circle, you can also get extra attunement from defeating monsters that spawn inside the circle, as well as a group of elite monsters.

Don’t forget to activate Sacrifice Shrines, too. They are similar to pillars, but more like side quests. Activating Sacrifice Shrines will spawn more enemies, and while defeating them will not directly drop Horadric Attunement, they will provide other rewards.

How To Get More Horadric Arcana?

Arcana is actually a type of Horadric Spell, and there are 20 of them in three rarities, including magic, rare, and legendary. Arcana of different rarities are obtained in different ways:

• Magic Arcana: Completing Horadric Strongrooms.
• Rare Arcana: Completing Horadric Strongrooms after acquiring “Rare Arcana” from Horadric Knowledge.
• Legendary Arcana: Completing Horadric Strongrooms after acquiring “Legendary Arcana” from Horadric Knowledge.

Even if you unlock all the above rarities, the actual drop of these Arcanas is random. So if you want to get as many Arcana as possible, you can only keep farming Horadric Strongrooms. These Arcanas include:

• Bottled Wind
• Invigorating Helix
• Jagged Bramble
• Luminous Gem
• Murky Essence
• Reactive Ooze
• Shifting Powder
• Tendrilous Bundle
• Tranquil Stone
• Volatile Crystal
• Fractured Core
• Gleaming Conduit
• Potent Alloy
• Sapping Crux
• Siphoning Gizmo
• Bloody Charm
• Floaty Bobble
• Frigid Heart
• Nightmare Orb
• Pressurized Steam

What Do Horadric Chests Do?

In addition to attunement and Arcana drops, you can eventually get Horadric chests, and defeating the final boss of the dungeon will also reward you with a Grand Horadric Cache.

After opening these chests, you have a chance to get Horadric Phials and Horadric Tomes, and the more attunement you have before, the better the chest reward quality.

Horadric Phials can upgrade your Horadric Spells and can be used as materials for crafting Horadric Jewels together with gem fragments. Horadric Tomes will provide you with more of these two materials.

As for Horadric Jewels, you can think of them as additional benefits for Horadric Spells, which can further bring you benefits such as increased armor value and all elemental resistance, which is worth crafting!

If you think that the content we provide should be helpful for your experience of Diablo 4 Season 9 Horadric Strongrooms, please implement them one by one according to the suggestions! Thank you for reading!

The first thing you need to do after entering the new Diablo 4 season is to create a character and upgrade him to the maximum level as soon as possible so that you can unlock more game content while becoming stronger.

Most of the XP farming methods in different seasons of Diablo 4 are not very different, but there will be some details due to the addition of new seasonal content, and different XP farming locations are suitable for different level stages.

Based on this, this time we will introduce you to how to choose the best XP acquisition method based on your leveling situation in Season 9 based on the playable content of Season 9.

Why Upgrade As Soon As Possible?

Season 9 brings Horadric Spells, but in order to unlock all spells and utilize them to craft new builds suitable for you, you must continue to upgrade. In addition, only when you reach the maximum level 60 can you unlock the paragon board to further strengthen your characters and builds.

Early Stage Upgrade Methods (Level 1-30)

Your character is in the “beginning” stage at this stage, so don’t rush to challenge the difficult content that provides a lot of XP (you may not unlock them yet), but start with the most basic quests.

Choose Normal Difficulty

As you know, there are multiple difficulty settings in Diablo 4, and the harder the quests, the more Diablo 4 gold and XP they reward you. But considering that you haven’t even unlocked class specializations at the beginning, normal difficulty is the best choice.

Although normal difficulty rewards less, the enemies are easier to kill and you can get the required XP in a short time. However, if you play with friends or have mercenaries, switching to Hard difficulty is also feasible, and you can get an extra XP boost.

Focus On Tree Of Whispers Quests

After completing the main campaign, you can start accumulating Grim Favors by completing Tree of Whispers quests to get rewards. These quests are usually relatively simple and can help you complete part of the main content or seasonal journey goals at the same time.

The most important thing about Tree of Whispers quest in Season 9 is that it rewards you with Nightmare Sigils, which is the only thing that can help you enter Nightmare Dungeon and farm more XP or other loot later.

Complete Seasonal Quests

Each Diablo 4 season will have a corresponding seasonal main quest. Although completing them is mainly to advance the story, you can also earn XP as one of the quest rewards.

More importantly, completing these quests in S9 will allow you to unlock and enter the new dungeon Horadric Strongrooms and obtain the desired Horadric Spells.

Utilize Healing Potions And Elixirs

When your character reaches level 10 and level 20, you can unlock the craft and utilize of healing potions and elixirs, respectively. The former can help you restore health to complete combat, and the latter can increase your experience points by 5%, improving your XP farming efficiency.

Intermediate Stage Upgrade Methods (Level 30-50)

At this stage, you should have mastered several Horadric Spells and preliminary Season 9 dungeon clearing tips, so you can try more advanced challenges to earn XP.

Clear Escalating Nightmare

As one of the main dungeons in Diablo 4, Nightmare Dungeon has been upgraded in S9 - Nightmare Dungeon Escalations. It is composed of 3 ordinary nightmare dungeons, which can provide affixes to increase the difficulty and bring you more rewards.

Based on this, besides the regular XP drop, Forgotten Wisdom affix brought by the random Nightmare Sigil will cause the enemy to drop experience orbs, bringing you extra XP.

Upgrade Seasonal Blessings

In addition to the in-game drop rewards, Diablo 4 will also provide you with additional rewards through the supporting upgradeable welfare system, such as you can get Smoldering Ashes to upgrade seasonal blessings by completing specific season goals.

The more levels of seasonal blessings you unlock, the better the rewards and rarity you can get. In fact, in addition to XP or gold, you have the opportunity to get rare materials or gear through seasonal blessings.

Choose The Best Builds

The idea of ​​this method is actually based on improving your combat efficiency. According to the performance of each class, the builds that perform well in Season 9 include Hydra Sorcerer and Quill Volley Spiritborn.

The reason this method is placed at the end of the intermediate stage is that you can only craft these builds after you have obtained enough levels, gear and Horadric Spells.

Final Stage Upgrade Method (Level 50-60)

At this point, your character is basically mature enough to deal with most game content. The methods introduced above and other game events/dungeons can be your XP source, but there is another method that should not be missed.

Clear Strongholds

The strongholds in the game will spawn many enemies, and there are 18 of strongholds, which is very suitable for you to conduct concentrated XP farming after breaking through level 50 to reach the maximum level as soon as possible.

It’s worth noting that the amount of XP provided by a fortress does not change depending on the difficulty level, so you can complete them with normal difficulty and complete them faster.

These are all the ways we have introduced to you to farm XP in Diablo 4 Season 9 to level up as quickly as possible. If your character is still in the early stages, I believe this guide will definitely help you!
