How to efficiently gather materials, gold, and other items in the upcoming season? This article will focus on D4 Season 7 material farming with locations, drops, and methods.
Diablo 4 Season 7 Material Farming Guide
Where to Farm Materials in Diablo 4 Season 7
Season 7 introduces several new farming locations, notably the Silent Rootholds dungeons. These seasonal dungeons are designed to enhance the farming experience, sharing similarities with Hellbreaches, Nightmare Dungeons, and Infernal Hordes. They have a high density of monsters and numerous exposed roots, which yield crafting materials and rewards. The bosses within these dungeons, while not as rewarding as the roots themselves, still provide decent drops including Iron Chunks, Rawhide, and Veiled Crystals.
Players can access Silent Rootholds by using Whispering Woods, which serves as the entry point akin to Nightmare Dungeon Sigils. Upon entering a Silent Roothold, players will encounter various Rites, Rituals, and Ceremonies that add both challenge and reward to the gameplay. These mechanics function similarly to Boons and Banes found in Infernal Hordes, providing players with benefits at the cost of increased difficulty. For instance, the Rite of Engorged Hearts increases the health of root-spawned enemies by 20%, while also spawning additional exposed roots. Other effects include enhanced damage from elite enemies and increased cooldowns for potions, all while offering the opportunity to collect more significant rewards from uprooted roots.
Nightmare Dungeon Changes in D4 S7
In Diablo IV's Season 7 Patch 2.1 PTR, Nightmare Dungeons are set to receive a significant update with the introduction of a new Affix called Elemental Totems. These totems will spawn during combat and can trigger one of three effects: the Cold Totem slows players and inflicts vulnerability on hit, the Demonic Totem increases the speed and attack power of affected monsters, and the Spirit Totem allows monsters to revive once after being killed, although they do not grant loot or experience when defeated. Players can destroy these totems through attacks, but they will also naturally dissipate after 20 seconds. Additionally, players can now obtain three Nightmare Dungeon Sigils from a new Whisper Cache called Collection Keys, while the drop rate for the Infernal Compass from Nightmare Dungeons has been reduced. Keep an eye out for Experience Wells as you navigate these dungeons!
D4 Season 7 New Materials and Other Drops
Most materials come from interacting with exposed roots found throughout the dungeons. Additionally, completing dungeons and defeating bosses yields further rewards. Players can expect a variety of materials from these dungeons:
Rawhide (e.g., up to 112 from roots)
Veiled Crystals (e.g., 40 veiled crystals in a single run)
Iron Chunks (e.g., 20 iron chunks from boss rewards)
Restless Rot (a new material gained from exposed roots, a currency to purchase and upgrade your Witchcraft powers)
D4 Season 7 Material Farming Tips
Clear Entire Dungeons: It’s crucial to fully explore and clear dungeons to collect all exposed roots, which provide substantial rewards.
Prioritize Exposed Roots: Focus on increasing minor and major rewards from the roots to optimize material collection.
Utilize Whispers: Completing and turning in whispers throughout the new zones is essential for accumulating resources and upgrading witch powers. This mechanic adds another layer to the farming process.
Group Play: Teaming up with others can enhance efficiency, allowing for quicker clears of dungeons and increased monster density management.
Salvage Rare Gear: Always salvage any rare gear drops to gather additional materials.
