As always, the arrival of each new season brings a brand new progression system, and in Loot Reborn it is Wolf’s Honor. It is related to the new Iron Wolves mercenary group that you will fight alongside in the major story.
By increasing your status in this group, you will obtain many rewards, including Diablo 4 unique items and some legendary weapons, to help you defeat all the terrible enemies in Diablo 4.
But if you are currently unclear about how to do this and are looking for guidance, then this complete guide on how to quickly obtain Wolf’s Honor in Diablo 4 must be for you.
How To Advance The Progress Of Wolf’s Honor?
There is currently only one way to obtain Wolf’s Honor in Diablo 4, and that is to participate in the various Helltide events that take place throughout Sanctuary. When Helltide is active, it will be marked in red on the map.
During these events, killing normal monsters will earn you one Wolf’s Honor, while taking out elite monsters will earn you five to ten, and defeating Hellborn that appears at the highest Threat level will earn your 35 Wolf’s Honor.
However, the fastest way to get Wolf’s Honor in Diablo 4 is to open Helltide Mystery Chests, as each chest rewards 100 Wolf’s Honor. Just open the map and look for the chest icon with a question mark on it.
In the first few World Tiers, they will appear as Tortured Gift of Mysteries, and opening each chest will cost you 100 Aberrant Cinders, which are Cinders you get from killing enemies during Helltide events.
In World Tier 3 and 4, there are several types of Mystery Chests that will spawn and reward different amounts of Wolf’s Honor when opened, instead of a fixed 100. So I recommend opening those chests where Aberrant Cinders cost more.
Using Baneful Hearts you collect to summon Blood Maidens will speed up the rate at which you gather Aberrant Cinders to open chests. If you defeat a Hellborn on World Tier 3 or 4, Profane Mindcage it drops can also be used to increase the rate at which Aberrant Cinders drop over the next 60 minutes, at the expense of increasing the level of the enemies you face.
You can also speed up the rate at which you earn Wolf’s Honor in Diablo 4 through Season Blessings if you assign Smoldering Ashes you unlock through Season progression to Urn of Iron. Each level of Urn of Iron boosts your reputation with Iron Wolves in Helltide event by 5%, stacking up to level 4 for a +20% boost.
Farming Tips
Farming Wolf’s Honor is not only important for your main character, but it can also be handy for your alts, as the rewards you earn from Iron Wolves can be earned multiple times across multiple characters. This means you can easily get extra Resplendent Sparks and Uber Unique items simply by earning Iron Wolves Reputation and getting rewards from the board.
But what can you do to maximize your Iron Wolves reputation, and how can you get Resplendent Sparks as quickly as possible? Obviously, you have to go into Helltides, but there are some very handy tips that can greatly speed up the process:
- Go back to World Tier 2, even if you are a higher-level character. The reputation you get for completing any objectives is the same regardless of World Tiers, and you will kill monsters and bosses faster on World Tier 2.
- Equip Profane Mindcage, which will increase the level of monsters. But more importantly, you will get more Cinders from them, and the demon bar in the upper right corner will fill up faster, which will let you kill more monsters.
- Use Elixir of Holy Bolts. This Seasonal Elixir can be obtained from Alchemist for 350 Murmuring Obols, and it speeds up the farming process even more.
- Farming Blood Maidens continuously takes about 45 minutes. During this time, you will not only gain a reputation from Maidens, but you will also collect hundreds of Aberrant Cinders. Each Maiden killed will give you about 200 reputation points.
- Note that in the last minutes, open all Tortured Gift of Mysteries on the map, so that you can get more reputation, about 120 points per chest.
- In the last few minutes, kill Maidens a few more times if you can. This way you can gain about 9000 reputation points per hour, which is the reputation required to reach the last level of Wolf’s Honor.
Rewards
Iron Wolves Encampment is located in Kehjistan region, northeast of Gea Kul, west of Imperial Library. There should already be an active portal there, so you can use fast travel to get there quickly from anywhere in Sanctuary.
Once in Encampment, find Iron Wolf Field Commander, Soudeh the Anvil and talk to them, and your current Wolf’s Honor Rank and progress towards the next rank will be displayed.
If you move down to the section below, you can claim any rewards you’ve unlocked with Wolf’s Honor in Diablo 4.
Some of these rewards are chests that, when opened, will drop legendary weapons and armor relevant to your class, while others offer Tempering Manuals that unlock new recipes for Tempering upgrades.
When redeeming them, you’ll also receive resource items and elixirs that can be used to boost you during Helltide, so be sure to check out their effects and use them when fighting Hell’s monsters.
That’s all you need to know about completing Wolf’s Honor progression system. Go ahead and give it a try. You’ll have fun with these coveted rewards!
