Since the introduction of Masterworking in Season 4: “Loot Reborn,” Blizzard has made Obducite an essential reagent for upgrading. Whether you are just trying to upgrade your gear or are fishing for those triple crits on a specific affix for your perfect item, farming this material efficiently is crucial. We’ll explore the most effective methods for farming Obducite and see what the strategies other players discovered.
Where to Farm Obducite
There are three primary ways to obtain the material:
- Nightmare Dungeons
- Running Nightmare Dungeons, particularly at higher difficulty levels, is a reliable way for farming.
- You will also find other crafting materials during the run.
- Speed gear is recommended for this method.
- Infernal Hordes
- Infernal Horde events can grant large amounts of Obducite.
- Aim for 8 or 10-wave runs for the best drop rates.
- You must use “Broken Compasses” to start an Infernal Hordes.
- Undercity of Kurast
- With the “Tribute of Refinement” it is worth running the Undercity of Kurast.
- The time-restricted gameplay style may not be for everyone.
What is The Best Farming Method?
Now that we’ve covered the different ways to farm Obducite, let’s focus on the most efficient method for collecting it in large amounts.
Hammilithome tested what the best outcome would be and compared Nightmare Dungeons and Infernal Hordes.
His results showed:
- Infernal Hordes: 10 minutes per run, providing 1500-3000, averaging 150/min
- Nightmare Dungeons: 3-5 min per run, providing 80-1200 per run, averaging 233/min
