In Diablo 4 Season 11, efficient resource farming plays a crucial role in strengthening your character and pushing deeper into the endgame. Whether you're targeting Scrolls of Restoration, Neathiron, or the increasingly valuable Mythic items, understanding the best farming methods can significantly accelerate your gearing progress. This guide highlights the most effective strategies for collecting large quantities of every essential resource this season. Let’s jump right in!
1. Main Farming Source: Goblin Sigils & Treasure Breach
The primary resource source this season is Goblin Sigils and the Treasure Breach. These sigils are essential for covering most resource needs, including Obducite and socket prisms for item power 800 gear. You’ll also gain Neathiron from them, although not completely.
How to Obtain Goblin Sigils:
● World Bosses and Azmodan's Chests drop Goblin Sigils frequently.
● You can also craft them using Sigil Powder at the Occultist. Sigil Powder can be salvaged from unwanted sigils or dropped separately from other sources.
● Party Runs: A party of four can use one sigil per player, essentially getting four times the loot. Sigils can be crafted at the Occultist with a 1 in 40 chance of crafting a Treasure Breach sigil.
Tip: Avoid keeping lower-tier sigils, except the Mythic Prankster and Treasure Breach sigils, as they offer minimal value.
2. Scrolls of Restoration
Scrolls of Restoration are another valuable resource, especially for crafting items with Greater Affixes. However, the process of obtaining these can seem daunting.
How to Obtain Scrolls of Restoration:
● Scrolls are guaranteed drops from Citadel and Horde activities.
● They can also be obtained randomly in various places like the Pit and Kurast Undercity.
● I personally don’t farm the Horde but find that random drops and certain locations provide enough Scrolls.
Tips for Scrolls of Restoration Farming:
● Don’t waste Scrolls on trying to roll Greater Affixes on every item. The odds are low, and it's not worth constantly tempering.
● Greater Affix options are only available for items with item power 800, so focus on them to maximize your outcome.
3. Mythic Items & Sparks
Mythic items drop plentifully in Season 11, especially with Uber Bosses and Azmodan's Chests. You can obtain Mythics from almost any activity, but they will drop more frequently on Torment 1 difficulty or higher.
Sources of Mythic Items:
● Uber Bosses: Approximately 3% drop chance.
● Azmodan’s Chests: Around 5% drop chance for Mythic items.
● Tributes for Mythics: Drop from World Bosses and Azmodan’s Chests.
Mythic items are now more common than ever. You can also craft a Mythic Prankster sigil at the Occultist, with a drop rate of about 1 in 500 sigils.
4. Neathiron
Neathiron is necessary for obtaining Greater Affixes from the Blacksmith and for modifying items if you’re not satisfied with the current affixes.
Sources of Neathiron:
● The primary source is the Treasure Breach sigil.
● Neathiron can also drop from Whisper Tree caches, Legion events, and some World Bosses (except Belial).
● Belial is guaranteed to drop 1-3 Neathiron when defeated.
5. Efficient Farming Strategy
To optimize your farming, you need to create a closed-loop farming system that keeps providing resources without burning out.
Boss Key Farming:
● After reaching Torment 1, you need Boss Keys to farm better loot.
● Helltide, Whisper Tree chests, Kurast Tributes, and Azmodan’s Chests are sources for Boss Keys.
● Lesser Uber Bosses drop keys for higher-tier Uber bosses.
● Belial’s Shadow occasionally drops from killing Rank 1 and 2 Uber bosses, allowing you to access Belial's loot.
6. Gold & Runes
In Season 11, gold and runes are no longer a major bottleneck for most players, mainly because Mythic items drop in large quantities. For normal progression, these resources are plentiful and often feel insignificant.
However, if you start crafting at scale, especially rerolling affixes repeatedly at the Occultist to chase perfect stats (such as +3 to a key skill), D4 Gold consumption increases rapidly. In those high-end crafting scenarios, both gold and runes become important resources again and should not be underestimated.
7. Azmodan Farming
Azmodan’s Chests are an excellent source of Nightmare Dungeon sigils and Kurast Tributes. You should focus on farming the left and right chests for the best loot.
Azmodan’s Chest Farming:
● Left Chest: Drops keys for Urivar.
● Right Chest: Drops keys for Zir and Grigoire.
● Nightmare Dungeon Sigils can drop from any chest. Every third chest gives 80-120 sigils.
Tip: Diversify your gameplay by rotating between Helltide, Legion, Azmodan, and Kurast Undercity, and remember that Mythic Aspects can stack up to two at once—such as equipping Shako while also using a Shako Aspect on boots—to maximize your overall power.
Conclusion
Season 11 in Diablo 4 offers numerous ways to farm essential resources like Scrolls of Restoration, Neathiron, and Mythic items. By utilizing Goblin Sigils, crafting, and focusing on the right activities like Azmodan, you can maximize your loot and gear up efficiently. Don’t forget to balance your farming with experience gains to ensure steady character progression. For optimized XP and loot routes, see the Diablo 4 Season 11 planner.
