Diablo 4 Season 5 Hotfixes: September 25th


<p>Diablo 4 is becoming pretty complex with its gearing and itemization. There are so many things to look out for, build specifics, Mythic Uniques, affix rolls, Greater Affixes, and so on. In all that noise it&#8217;s easy to miss some really simple things and methods, so we&#8217;re starting a new series of extremely obvious things you may have missed or just forget to regularly do! </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tempering, AKA Bricking</h2>



<p>In this first edition we&#8217;re taking a look at one of the biggest material sinks (and also positivity/will to live sinks), tempering! If you think you&#8217;ve found the perfect item, think again! Tempering can very quickly brick your item, making it unusuable, or at the very least a lot less usable than you thought. Even with the new Scroll of Restoration which gives you another fresh tempering slate, bricking a few items is inevitable. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/image-2.png" alt=""/></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Temper First! </h2>



<p>So, what&#8217;s the uber-secret tech, the magic method that will help you not brick your items? Well, there isn&#8217;t one. This is &#8220;extremely obvious tips&#8221;, remember? So the entire opus of this particular one is simply: <strong>temper first</strong>. Yep, that&#8217;s it. When you get a new good item, start with tempering and see how that goes before doing anything else with it. Sounds incredibly simple and obvious, but many players spent a LOT of resources on enchanting an item BEFORE tempering it. And then when you spent tens/hundreds of millions of gold and a lot of mats getting that perfect enchant roll &#8211; you brick your item. TWICE. This may or may not be from personal experience&#8230; multiple personal experiences, but we&#8217;re definitely not the only ones to forget this simple little detail. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/cornmonger_/">Cornmonger_</a> also pointed this out, and reminded us that it&#8217;s probably something that players should be reminded of. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height:316px" ><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1gas004/til_temper_first_then_enchant/">TIL: Temper first, then Enchant</a><br> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/cornmonger_/">u/cornmonger_</a> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/">diablo4</a></blockquote><script async src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>

<p><br>So, if you already knew this and always implemented the practice, good for you! Those few of you that didn&#8217;t, you&#8217;re welcome and maybe go thank <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/cornmonger_/">cornmonger_</a>! </p>

Spread Mephisto’s Corruption with Vases of Hatred!


<p>We&#8217;ve all seen Greater Affixes (although probably not as often as we&#8217;d want), but now there&#8217;s a new category in town! Players have been running into affixes with less than the minimum roll. As always there&#8217;s an explanation, and the changes aren&#8217;t exactly build-breaking, but it&#8217;s still pretty interesting so let&#8217;s take a look. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">By All Rights, It Should Not Exist, but It Does</h2>



<p>As <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/DonRavorin/">DonRavorin</a> so poetically puts it, the piece below has some extremely appropriate flavor text considering its 7.9% out of an 8.0% minimum roll! </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://preview.redd.it/by-all-rights-it-should-not-exist-yet-it-does-v0-golbryvz84wd1.png?width=478&amp;format=png&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=63fdaa39b8554e69b3f0dfd142ac4ebfd1978046" alt=""/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Source: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1g8ql9m/by_all_rights_it_should_not_exist_yet_it_does/">By all rights, it should not exist, yet it does.</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>This seems to be a rounding error, so the item pretty much has 8%, probably 7.94 or something similar, but the game rounds that down for whatever reason. Or perhaps the 8% minimum is rounded up and the real minimum number is, in fact 7.9x%! Whatever the case may be, it seems the issue specifically involves the numbers 7.9% / 8.0%, as other players have reported the same on other affixes and items:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height:500px" ><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1g8uzbb/my_buddy_got_a_temper_01_below_minroll_how_is/">my buddy got a temper 0.1 below minroll. how is this even possible?</a><br> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/fruityfuck69/">u/fruityfuck69</a> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/">diablo4</a></blockquote><script async src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p><br>Again, just a funny little detail that doesn&#8217;t really affect anything, but it&#8217;s one of the unique features of Diablo 4! </p>


Lesser Affixes? Sub-Minimum Numbers on Items in Season 6


<p>After the very vague <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/news/diablo-4-season-6-hotfixes-october-21st-material-drop-rates-buffed/">hotfix notes from yesterday</a>, players were left wondering: how much did the buff actually change? Luckily we have <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Rob2628">Rob </a>jumping in and looking over all the key activities and sharing the results! </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Material Matters</h2>



<p><a class="icy-gtnbrg-link" href="#"><span class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip"><img decoding="async" class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip-img" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/static/d4/latest/images/icons/2DInventory_Materials_20.webp" alt="Rawhide"><span class="tooltip-spell-name" data-item-type="Crafting Material" data-item-quality="normal">Rawhide</span></span></a> and <a class="icy-gtnbrg-link" href="#"><span class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip"><img decoding="async" class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip-img" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/static/d4/latest/images/icons/2DInventory_Materials_18.webp" alt="Iron Chunk"><span class="tooltip-spell-name" data-item-type="Crafting Material" data-item-quality="normal">Iron Chunk</span></span></a> drop rates were buffed in yesterday&#8217;s hotfixes, but there was no word by how much. Well, we now know and it seems pretty significant. Well, for everything except Legion events, which were buffed 10x, but that still makes them pretty much useless &#8211; which shows you just how useless they were before! Every other source of the base materials except for salvage has been majorly buffed and Rob took a look at the end results for the various activities. </p>



<p>There is one key to the numbers, and that&#8217;s the <a class="icy-gtnbrg-link" href="#"><span class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip"><img decoding="async" class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip-img" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/static/d4/latest/images/icons/2DInventory_Realm_Walker_3.webp" alt=" Seething Opal of Materials"><span class="tooltip-spell-name" data-item-type="Elixir" data-item-quality="magic"> Seething Opal of Materials</span></span></a>. The rewards that it gives were also buffed in the patch, so if you need Rawhide and Iron Chunks, you always want to have a materials Opal active. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Numbers</h2>



<p>All activities have had their basic material rewards at least doubled. Legion events got the biggest buff but are also the most pointless, at 30 Rawhide per run. The big winner is Whisper Caches, as they now go for around 400+ for basic and up to 900 for legendary caches. This is a little under triple their previous drops. This is especially useful as you can combine them with Helltides, and even get some alts leveled if you want to spend the XP there! </p>



<p>The Realmwalker got his drops quadrupled as he&#8217;s around 400 now and is actually worthwhile. Infernal Hordes are still very random, and they vary from about the same as before to double, at 800. Nightmare dungeons come in at 200, with the Pit at 80-180, but with some fast runs. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="NEW OPAL META? RAWHIDE &amp; IRON CHUNK BUFFS LIVE NOW!

</div></figure>



<p><br>In conclusion, get those Opals ready!  Farm a whole lot of Whispers, and generally do pretty much any activity you like and you should be ok with the basic mats for a while. At least we don&#8217;t need boss materials to farm the most basic of mats anymore! </p>



<p>So let&#8217;s see if this buff fixes the bottleneck of basic materials! And if it does, is there another one coming to replace them?</p>

<p>Discover the most efficient way of farming Paragon experience in Vessel of Hatred&#8217;s <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/diablo-4-latest-season/">Season 6</a>!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Paragon XP</h2>



<p>Rob2628<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bN8C_Fe9nrWv__jUc_Vdbl220g4NM0mlux-ga_s_-5s/htmlview?gid=1074386454#gid=1074386454"> created a spreadsheet</a>, documenting the most efficient ways of farming Paragon in the ongoing Season, noting that the XP curve needed to reach the next Paragon level exponentially increases at around Paragon Level 250, and to go from 299 to 300, you will need around 1 billion XP.</p>



<p>We only see a few people with Paragon 300 due to how much XP is needed to reach the cap. Here&#8217;s how many hours you can expect to reach the Paragon cap with the most ideal way of XP farming:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Snimka-obrazovky-2024-10-22-o-14.07.45.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image 47908"/></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Infernal Hordes: The Most Chill, But Not Effective Way of Farming XP</h2>



<p>Rob argues that <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/infernal-hordes-guide/">Infernal Hordes</a> isn&#8217;t the best way of farming XP and the maximum you&#8217;re going to get is around 250 million per hour. You would need 3 hours per level using that method, but he says it&#8217;s the most &#8220;chill&#8221; version. You&#8217;ll get around <em>half</em> the efficiency you&#8217;d get in Pits.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Pit</h2>



<p>The higher tier you complete in the <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/the-pit-of-the-artificers-guide/">Pit</a>, the more XP you will get. There&#8217;s XP from completing the quest and from the pit closing. Here are the exact values taken from Rob&#8217;s spreadsheet:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Snimka-obrazovky-2024-10-22-o-14.05.44.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image 47907"/></figure>



<p>However, mob health goes up by 25% while the XP doesn&#8217;t go up by as much, so it&#8217;s not worth farming the <strong>highest Pits</strong>. That&#8217;s why Rob recommends running Tier 100-110 pits for efficient XP farming.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Ideal XP Farming Build?</h2>



<p>The build Rob uses for speed-farming is the <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/quill-volley-spiritborn-build/">Quill Volley Spiritborn</a> build that focuses on teleports and speed.</p>
