When a Diablo 4 season introduces seasonal powers that can be farmed, it typically also introduces a special currency that serves as the sole means of upgrading these powers, ensuring that the benefits remain constant as your character levels up.
In Season 10, these powers are Chaos Perks, and the corresponding currency for upgrading them is Infernal Warp. While both can only be obtained by clearing Chaos Rifts, the specific farming methods differ.
This article will focus on how to obtain Infernal Warp and strategies for improving its farming efficiency.
The Importance Of Infernal Warp
As the only special currency that can upgrade Chaos Perks, Infernal Warp is undoubtedly irreplaceable. However, you might be wondering, with so many ways to enhance a character, why is it so important to upgrade Chaos Perks?
As a Season 10-exclusive mechanic, Chaos Perks not only provide powerful combat benefits themselves, but more importantly, they help you craft a variety of builds that will be effective in the new season - the better the perks, the more powerful the builds.
Therefore, the upgrade of Chaos Perks means you can gain more and stronger benefits than ever before, which will increase your combat speed, win rate, and loot acquisition efficiency.
How Can You Obtain Infernal Warp Through Combat?
If you farm through combat, Infernal Warp can only be dropped by clearing Chaos Rifts, which are random events that spawn within the map during Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons.
After a Chaos Rift spawns, chaos monsters will emerge from the portal. Your goal is to prioritize clearing the surrounding Helltides or Nightmare Dungeons enemies before killing the chaos monsters to seal the rifts and receive the rewards.
In addition to loot drops, including Infernal Warp, you may also receive Chaos Blessings after clearing Chaos Rifts as temporary combat buffs. These can stack and deal various elemental damage effects, increasing the speed with which you can complete Chaos Rifts.
Chaos Rifts can appear at any time after entering Helltides. You can find them on the mini-map. To farm Chaos Rifts for Infernal Warp in Nightmare dungeons, you must convert them using a Nightmare Sigil with Chaos Rifts affix.
Obtaining Season Journey Rewards And Season Blessings
As you play Diablo 4 Season 10, you'll actively and passively complete various Season Journey objectives across the seven chapters, some of which reward Infernal Warp.
Also, starting with Season Journey rewards in Chapter 2, you'll begin to earn Smoldering Ash, which unlocks special Season Blessings. These Blessings increase your chances of obtaining Infernal Warp in various ways.
Season Journey rewards for Infernal Warp and Smoldering Ash are as follows:
- Chapter 1: 30 Infernal Warp
- Chapter 2: 70 Infernal Warp, 1 Smoldering Ash
- Chapter 3: 140 Infernal Warp, 1 Smoldering Ash
- Chapter 4: 280 Infernal Warp, 3 Smoldering Ash
- Slayer Chapter: 560 Infernal Warp, 3 Smoldering Ash
- Champion Chapter: 1120 Infernal Warp, 3 Smoldering Ash
- Destroyer Chapter: 4 Smoldering Ash
After getting Smoldering Ash, you can unlock the following Seasonal Blessings that will increase the rate at which you can get Infernal Warp:
- Urn of Blazing Infernal: Guarantees an additional Infernal Compass drop during Wave 10 battles.
- Urn of Sustain: Increases the duration of your power stealing from Chaos Monster Families.
- Urn of Chaos Nightmares: Increases your chance of receiving an additional Nightmare Dungeon Sigil after opening Helltide Chest, and guarantees it has Chaos Rift affix.
Optimal Infernal Warp Farming Strategy
From a combat perspective, since Chaos Rifts spawn at random locations in Helltides and are open to all players, you might find yourself in a situation where your rifts have already been seized by other players.
This can be addressed by disabling cross-play to reduce the number of concurrent players, but this has limited effectiveness. Therefore, we recommend clearing Nightmare Dungeons as your primary source of Infernal Warp farming.
Nightmare Sigils with Chaos Rifts affix allow you to focus on clearing Chaos Rifts, increasing your chances of obtaining Infernal Warp and Chaos Perks without having to compete with others.
More importantly, you might also receive sigils with Infernal Warp Reserve affix, guaranteeing Infernal Warp for clearing Nightmare dungeons and access to Escalating Nightmare.
Escalating Nightmare not only spawns Chaos Rifts but also comes with an affix that guarantees continued Infernal Warp from chest rewards. However, Escalating Nightmare is more dangerous, so you'll need to be strong enough before utilizing it.
While farming, you may also unlock some Season Journey Infernal Warp rewards. If you're temporarily tired of the endless battles, you can switch your strategy to focus on completing more Season Journey objectives.
