News Tag: Buy Diablo 4 Items

In Diablo 4, as you progress through each new season, the drive to continue playing comes from achievement through defeating increasingly dangerous enemies. To achieve this, the assistance of Mythic Uniques is essential.

As the rarest gear type in Diablo 4, Mythics can be obtained through combat drops or crafting, but both methods are difficult: the former has a low drop rate, and the latter requires Resplendent Sparks, which also require significant farming.

However, in Season 11, the development team has quietly added a new Nightmare Dungeon affix that allows you to obtain Mythic items more easily than before! We'll provide a detailed explanation below.

What Mythics Are Available In The Game?

Currently, there are 12 Mythic items available:

• Andariel's Visage
• Doombringer
• Harlequin Crest
• Melted Heart of Selig
• Ring of Starless Skies
• The Grandfather
• Ahavarion Spear of Lycander
• Tyrael's Might
• Heir of Perdition
• Shroud of False Death
• Shattered Vow
• Nesekem, The Herald

It is expected that Diablo 4 might add new Mythics after the release of the second DLC, Lord of Hatred, but this is just speculation; the number of available Mythics remains unchanged at this stage.

How To Farm Mythics Through Combat?

Since Season 8, the higher-level bosses in Diablo 4 have been collectively referred to as lair bosses and are divided into three rarity tiers based on their difficulty. These lair bosses theoretically can all drop Mythics, but the higher the rarity, the higher the drop rate.

If you are focusing on farming Mythic Uniques in Season 11, we recommend prioritizing unlocking battles with the three lair bosses: Duriel, Andariel, and Belial.

This is not only because of their high rarity, but also because defeating them grants you the new seasonal power, Divine Gifts. If you have the first DLC, the boss Harbinger of Death is also a viable option.

It's important to note that these bosses are only unlocked after you reach Torment difficulty, and you need to farm the corresponding lair keys beforehand to open each boss's hoard after winning the battle and check for Mythics.

The four bosses above and their corresponding keys are:

• Duriel: 3x Shard of Agony from Grigoire or Varshan
• Andariel: 3x Pincushioned Doll from Lord Zir or The Beast in the Ice
• Belial: 2x Betrayer's Husk from Belial's Ambush
• Harbinger of Death: 3x Abhorrent Heart from Urivar

Other Ways To Obtain Mythics

Besides defeating lair bosses, you can also obtain Mythics by gambling with special currency at Surveyor of Curiosities vendor (although the chances are very low), or by consuming Resplendent Sparks and runes/gold to craft them.

Resplendent Sparks are essential. Based on this, gold and runes allow you to craft specific gear at Jeweler, but if you only add gold, you will just craft random Diablo 4 Mythics at Blacksmith. The specific recipes are as follows:

• Random Mythics at Blacksmith: 2 Resplendent Sparks + 50,000,000 gold
• Specific Mythics at Jeweler: 2 Resplendent Sparks + 6 Legendary Runes + 6 Rare Runes + 6 Magic Runes + 5,000 gold

Mythic Prankster Affix Makes Everything Easier!

Whether you want to experience Season 11 seasonal content or focus on Mythics farming, Nightmare Dungeons were not a good option before, but the addition of Mythic Prankster affix changes that.

What Is Mythic Prankster Affix?

First, you need to know what Nightmare Sigils are. This item transforms ordinary dungeons into Nightmare Dungeons, changing their difficulty and rewards by adding one positive and one negative affix to the dungeon.

Mythic Prankster affix is one of the positive affixes. It guarantees that you will encounter Treasure Goblin Fancy Old Fedric in Nightmare Dungeon you enter afterward. This rare enemy usually only appears in goblin events with a very low probability.

If you defeat this goblin in a Mythic Prankster Nightmare Dungeon, you will receive 5 Mythic Uniques, 1 Resplendent Spark, and 2 Legendary Runes! This means crafting Mythics will also become easier!

How To Obtain This Affix?

The methods for farming Nightmare Sigils include Tree of Whispers caches, world boss drops, and drops from enemies and completion rewards in Nightmare Dungeons, but the affixes on the resulting Sigils are always random.

Therefore, if you want to more reliably obtain a specific affix, crafting is a better option. To do this, you first need to salvage unwanted Nightmare Sigils to obtain Sigil Powder, and then consume the powder and gold at Occultist to craft new Sigils.

Each craft requires 4,000 gold and 40 Sigil Powder. Theoretically, as long as you have enough materials, you can keep crafting until you obtain Sigils with Mythic Prankster affix, and unwanted Sigils can be salvaged at any time.

How To Maximize The Value of This Affix?

Although Fancy Old Fedric is not a very dangerous enemy, he is very vigilant and good at escaping, so teaming up can help you chase and surround him more quickly.

More importantly, if your team encounters and kills this goblin, thanks to the game's loot drop mechanism, each of you will receive a full set of loot without having to share.

Since the dropped Mythic items are random, if you encounter duplicates, you can salvage them to obtain Resplendent Sparks, increasing your chances of crafting Mythics.

That's all the information we have for you this time. Considering that farming Mythic Prankster affix requires a lot of time, we recommend that you start working on it now!

At 2025 TGA, Diablo 4's official announcement brought a surprise: while many players anticipated Paladin class, no one expected it to be released directly in Season 11.

Since it wasn't tested on the PTR, many players are unfamiliar with its gameplay. Paladin is very strong in Season 11 due to having the most skill enhancements (3 branches) of any class. Players who pre-ordered the new expansion can already play Paladin, so let's look at the most efficient way to level this class.

Early Game Recommendations

In the early stages, your build isn't fully developed, so you'll need to rely on some powerful skills to clear monsters and level up. Therefore, we recommend prioritizing the following three skills during the leveling phase.

Holy Light Aura

This skill passively deals damage to surrounding enemies, and actively casting it not only deals damage but also heals you. Around levels 1-10 on Normal difficulty, you can instantly kill most small monsters, allowing for safe leveling in the early game.

Rally

Using Rally increases movement speed and provides a burst of Faith regeneration. With Words of Sacrifice skill enhancement, this skill has no cooldown and instead consumes health. Combined with the healing from Holy Light Aura, you can gain infinite Faith, allowing you to unleash your core abilities.

Falling Star

This is a Movement Ability, similar to Necromancer's Soar or Sorcerer's Teleport, but with a short delay before launch and damage upon takeoff and landing. It's a very useful skill for both farming monsters and running for maps.

Recommended Leveling Builds

Paladin's damage is quite good, but due to the increased monster strength in Season 11, you can easily die if you're not careful. Therefore, below are some reliable upgrade builds that don't rely on Diablo 4 items and primarily rely on skill enhancements.

Blessed Hammer Paladin

After using Blessed Hammer, your hammer will spiral out by default. Choosing Disciple's Halo enhancement will cause your hammer to spin around your character and follow their movement, similar to Druid's Boulder playstyle, but without requiring Legendary Aspects or unique items.

You can combine this with the basic skill Clash and its Skirmish enhancement for up to a 30% critical strike chance bonus.

For the ultimate skill, choose Arbiter of Justice, which allows Paladin to transform into Arbiter form, granting increased movement speed, special evasion, and Wing Strikes. Enhancements and upgrades increase the frequency and speed of Wing Strikes and make enemies vulnerable.

Key Passive Exaltation provides a significant damage bonus during Arbiter form and doubles the damage of Wing Strikes.

Finally, choose Disciple Oath, which triggers a brief Arbiter form when you use Falling Star. The overall rotation deals sustained damage with Blessed Hammer and bursts burst damage with Falling Star and Arbiter of Justice.

Blessed Shield Paladin

This upgrade build relies on Blessed Shield, requiring the skill choice, Shield of Retribution Enhancement. This slows the movement of the thrown shield but deals area damage per second to surrounding enemies equal to your Thorns value, and multiple shields can be active simultaneously.

Thorns are primarily gained through Clash's Punishment Enhancement, which increases Thorns damage with skill and character level.

For the ultimate skill, choose Heaven's Fury and enhance it with Walk With The Light, transforming it into five beams rotating around the character, allowing for multiple Judgment debuffs on enemies. Combined with the passive Code of Arms, this provides a passive damage bonus based on armor and block chance.

Finally, choose Judicator Oath. The more Judgment you apply to enemies, the higher the damage you deal, significantly amplifying Thorns damage.

You can further increase Thorns damage by utilizing the passive Thorns and Thistles and Rite of Thorns enhancement from Defiance Aura skill tree.

Shield Of Retribution Paladin Build

This build is very similar to the one above, but focuses more on the frequency of Retribution triggers.

You need to trigger Retribution effect through Shield Bash or later Shield Charge, which gives him a chance to unleash Thorns as area-of-effect damage when blocking.

Shield Bash's Breach enhancement makes its attacks count as blocks. Shield Charge's Relentless Charge enhancement makes it a core skill that can be channeled by holding down the button, during which all hits count as blocks, and the chance to trigger Retribution increases with channeling time.

You can further increase Retribution chance by combining it with other skills. For example, Aegis' Impunity enhancement provides a significant Thorns damage boost and a 40% Retribution chance during its activation. Clash's Punishment enhancement provides an additional 30% Retribution chance.

In short, you can easily stack Retribution chance to over 100% through skill tree passives, equipment, and other combinations, achieving a continuous area-of-effect Thorns explosion. The choice of ultimate skills and vows is basically the same as the previous build.

Other Key Passives

• Judgment Day: Increases damage when Judgment is triggered, potentially very good in the late game, but difficult to trigger frequently during leveling.
• Path of the Penitent: High potential, but requires increased resource consumption, making it difficult to manage during leveling.

Key Oaths

• Juggernaut Oath: It can be stacked by consuming Resolve to increase Juggernaut Skill damage. However, Thorns build primarily uses Overpower abilities to enhance Thorns damage, rather than its own damage output.
• Zealot Oath: Grants bonus hit chance to Zealot Skills, requires late-game gear and build support.

Endgame Items

With the addition of new classes, Season 11 also introduced some new items that may become core to Paladin builds in endgame.

• Aspect of Lapa's Scripture: Grants Thorns after consuming Faith, potentially synergizing well with Juggernaut Oath and Shield of Retribution Paladin build.
• Aspect of Verdant Restoration: Heals the user while dealing Thorns damage, suitable for Thorns builds.
• Aspect of Lagera's Soverignty: Increases Disciple skill damage, suitable for Blessed Hammer Paladin build.
• Aspect of Holy Punishment: Significantly increases Holy Damage, suitable for Blessed Hammer Paladin build.
• Herald's Morningstar: Increases Blessed Hammer damage and has a Lucky Hit chance to generate an additional hammer.
• Dawnfire: Causes Holy Light Aura to deal fire damage, and the damage is increased whenever an enemy dies within its range.
• Griswold's Opus: Increases critical strike damage on hits, and when fully stacked, grants a Lucky Hit chance to refresh the effect and gain double critical strike damage and healing.

The above recommendations are only for the leveling phase. In the endgame, you should consider which skill to primarily utilize for your build. You can explore its mechanics during the leveling phase and discover your preferred playstyle in the endgame.

Diablo 4 Season 11 will launch on all platforms on December 11th. With the season update fast approaching, players are eagerly awaiting new season guides. Notably, this season features a major update, including changes to monster difficulty mechanics and the item upgrade system.

With the new season, players' previous seasonal level experience and hard-earned Diablo 4 items will be reset. This means you'll have to re-select your character leveling and farming. However, don't worry, they won't disappear; they'll simply be transferred to Eternal Realm.

It's important to note that the optimal leveling path for Season of Divine Intervention has changed. Leveling is more difficult, and players will no longer receive the initial 14 skill points at level 1. These skill points can only be obtained through the new Season Rank system.

Furthermore, Capstone Dungeon has been reintroduced this season, becoming a key point in the season's progression and thus altering the optimal way to acquire XP.

If you're currently looking for ways to level up in the new season, you definitely can't miss the following content. I'll recommend the best leveling path for Season 11, which we've summarized. However, since the new season hasn't launched yet, we can only make predictions based on the new season patch and previous livestream content. Therefore, we will update this information again if there are better methods or adjustments needed later.

Preliminary Preparations

First, you need to choose a class as your main character for this season. You can continue to choose the class you were most familiar with in previous seasons. If you want to try something new, you can choose a class that interests you and its best build to start the game.

We need to level up our chosen character to level 60. After creating your new season character, you need to skip the campaign and choose Normal difficulty. Currently, level 1 characters in Season 11 are relatively weak because we can't gain basic skill points in rank 1 matches. Therefore, it's best to gradually increase your Season Rank in Normal difficulty.

Once we've leveled up and gained enough skill points to become powerful in Normal difficulty, we can then switch the game difficulty to Hard. After logging into the game, open your character panel and select a pet on Wardrobe page to fight alongside you. The pet will automatically collect resources, reducing a lot of hassle.

Next, teleport to Nahantu and select your Mercenary. In the early game, Subo is highly recommended. He's not only a mercenary but also a member of Pale Hand. He's chosen because he can display all materials and enemies around you, a significant advantage even in the late game. Your second Mercenary can be chosen freely based on your preferences.

Leveling Quest Route

Grind To Level 30 In Helltides

Once you're ready, you'll begin advancing through the season questline until you obtain your first season power and unlock the reputation board. It's recommended to start the season journey challenges from the first tier, remembering to choose those that reward skill points, as you'll need these skills later to improve your strength.

Once you've completed the various stages of Season Rank and gained enough skill points, you can enter Helltides. Helltides have changed in the new season; the leader has changed from Blood Maiden to Duriel.

After summoning Duriel using Baneful Hearts, remember to prioritize killing him, as he has a chance to drop Essence of Squalor. Equip Essence of Squalor immediately after obtaining it; this will make Maggots drop experience orbs later, which will help you level up.

In Helltides, repeatedly farm XP by completing all quests that may trigger, whether it's Whisper quest for 10 Grim Favors or the bonuses from Infernal Compasses and Tribute of Growth. Continue farming until you reach level 30 in Helltides, or when you feel strong enough, then move on to the next area.

Gain XP And Skill Points In Capstone Dungeon

Next, we should challenge Season Rank 1 Capstone Dungeon. Enter Season Path menu and click the teleport button on the right to go to the level 1 Capstone Dungeon - Torrid Menagerie.

The level 1 monsters are level 30, which is why it was mentioned earlier that you should wait until you reach level 30 before coming here. Completing the corresponding quests in Torrid Menagerie will reward you with 1 skill point and a Greater Ranking Cache.

Note that completing the level 1 challenge will unlock the corresponding level 2 challenge. You can then complete the level 2 quests that reward skill points, but don't rush to challenge Capstone Dungeon. Challenging it before reaching the level cap will require a lot of time and effort.

Reaching Level 60

After gaining enough experience and skill points in the level 1 Capstone Dungeon, you need to farm XP by completing other quests until you reach the level cap.

Repeatedly Farming Helltides

It's recommended that after completing all the skill point-rewarding challenges in the level 2 Capstone Dungeon, you should return to Helltides and complete quests and kill monsters to farm experience, repeating this process until you reach level 60. This will give you your first level 60 character.

Azmodan

If you find repeatedly farming Helltides too tedious, there are other options. This season, Diablo 4 introduces a new summonable World Boss, Azmodan, which can be summoned to the ground from the south of Zarbinzet using three Altars.

Previously, on PTR server, players could repeatedly summon and defeat Azmodan to gain a large amount of XP, and even Corrupted Essence, to unlock chests that appeared after the battle. However, the developers have mentioned that this method may be significantly weaken upon release on the live server, so it's not currently highly recommended.

Strongholds

Besides the two methods mentioned above, another leveling technique is to challenge all Strongholds on the map on normal difficulty when you reach level 50, such as Fractured Peaks and Scosglen Stronghold. This also earns a lot of XP, but it's somewhat tedious and suitable for players with limited time and energy.

These are our recommended best paths to quickly reach level 60 in the new season.

If you don't like this method, you can also choose to complete the entire campaign on normal difficulty; completing the campaign will also level you up to 60. A drawback is that you must complete the entire campaign to obtain Seasonal Reputation and Powers. 

Hopefully, these methods will help you quickly level up and improve your strength in the upcoming Season of Divine Intervention. Good luck!

Compass to Carnage event, originally scheduled for November 4th, was postponed to November 25th, and now it's just one day away! If you're unsure how to proceed, it's not too late to start preparing!

Since this event is based on Infernal Hordes, you'll need to understand all the event mechanics and choose a build that can quickly clear out enemies in Infernal Hordes.

Therefore, we'll recommend and introduce Hydra Fireball Build, a Sorcerer-class build, to help you maximize its value in Compass to Carnage event.

Hydra Fireball Build Overview

Hydra-oriented Sorcerer builds shone brightly in Season 9, but their effectiveness diminished after Season 10, until we discovered that combining Hydra with Fireball is incredibly effective at clearing enemy hordes.

This isn't hard to understand. As primary Sorcerer skills, Hydra and Fireball both offer significant AoE damage output. Their effectiveness is amplified when stacked with core skills and rare gear, especially in Infernal Hordes (where enemies always appear in groups).

First, Hydra allows you to summon a three-headed hydra that lasts for 10 seconds, each head dealing fire damage to enemies within its area of ​​effect. Fireball, on the other hand, throws explosive fireballs at enemies.

It's important to note that to maximize Hydra Fireball build's effectiveness, you must unlock Fireball enchantment, which generates an additional fireball when you kill an enemy with any skill, dealing damage to even more enemies upon explosion.

This enchantment is the biggest reason this build surpasses other standard Hydra or Fireball builds, and it's also the main reason for its astonishing mob-clearing speed.

Skill Usage Strategy

Frankly, Hydra and Fireball are basically sufficient for this build. The principle for combining other skills is to maximize the effectiveness of key skills.

Generally, you should first use Hydra, then hold down Fireball key to ensure it remains active as long as Hydra count isn't at its maximum, thus consistently dealing enough fire damage to clear enemies.

If you want a damage multiplier increase, you can unlock Inferno. It's also a fire-summoning skill, but adding it isn't mandatory, so you can use other similar skills for higher output if desired.

Another recommended skill setup is to use Teleport. This skill puts you in an Unstoppable state, allowing you to dash to a target location and deal damage upon arrival.

While choosing Teleport means you need to constantly press it, it does significantly increase the build's speed, allowing you to reach the next enemy gathering point faster in Infernal Hordes, improving event completion efficiency.

Skill Tree Configuration

After adding skills, the next step is to configure the skill tree. First, you need to max out Fireball skill points, then increase mana for additional damage.

Next, you can decide whether to select Teleport based on your needs, and then max out Hydra for more critical strike damage. Also, don't forget Primordial Binding, which provides the following buffs:

• +2% Summon Damage
• +2% Movement Speed
• +4% Mana Regeneration

These buffs stack based on summons, adding one stack per summon, up to a maximum of 10 stacks.

Additionally, Sorcerers can use NaguCeh Runewords to summon a pack of wolves like Druids, then trigger a vulnerability effect and apply a freeze effect to enemies, dealing more damage to them.

What Are The Best Gear Options?

If you have the ability to acquire mythic items, we recommend equipping Heir of Perdition with the greater affix. Its main effects are as follows:

• + 200% Damage to Angels and Demons
• + 20% Critical Strike Chance
• + 20% Lucky Hit Chance
• + 20% Movement Speed
• + 2 to Core Skills
• + 60% Damage Output

If you have to settle for unique items, Crown of Lucion is the best choice, and it's best to take advantage of the season's advantages and equip Chaos Armor version. Its combat effects include:

• + 489-526 Maximum Life
• + 8.1-8.8% Cooldown Reduction
• + 7.0-8.0% Lucky Hit Chance
• + 40.0-50.0% Shadow Resistance
• When using skills that consume resources, increasing consumption increases damage output

After choosing your first gear based on your needs, you should then add Aspect of Shredding Blades, Banished Lord's Talisman, and Locran's Talisman. It's worth noting that, except for the gloves, it's best to choose Chaos Armor version for all other gear.

Best Chaos Perks

As one of the most popular mechanics in Season 10, Chaos Perks have given many builds a new lease on life this season. For Hydra Fireball Build, suitable perks include:

• Erupting Chaos: Chaotic Bursts randomly erupt and deal damage, adding a 4-second damage over time effect on top of the initial damage.
• Power Siphon: Increases core ability damage, but reduces maximum current resource consumption for 6 seconds.
• Erupting Chaos: Killing enemies grants stacks of Chaos, which unleash a powerful Chaos Burst to increase critical strike chance and damage.
• Brawn Over Brains: Significantly increases maximum health, healing received, and suppression damage, but reduces maximum resistances and armor damage reduction caps.

That concludes our overview. If you want to earn more loot in the upcoming week-long Compass to Carnage event, give this build a try!
