Diablo 4 Gear Farming Guide: How to Get Legendaries, Greater Affixes, Mythics & Uber Tristram Rewards

Summary

There has never been a better season to build a powerful character in Diablo 4. With more content requiring high-powered builds—especially the new Hell difficulty seasonal capstone dungeons and the infamous Uber Tristram with its triple Prime Evil boss fight—upgrading your gear is more important than ever. Whether you buy Diablo IV Gold or farm everything yourself, this guide will walk you through every efficient method for gearing up your character.

Part One: Legendary Aspects and Equipment

Farming Legendary Aspects via the Purveyor of Curiosities

The easiest way to obtain legendary aspects for your codex is through the Murmuring Obols vendor (the Purveyor of Curiosities). Here's how to maximize your efficiency:

Exchange obols for the relevant slot. If you want an offensive affix, purchase weapons—they only roll offensive affixes.

Activate the season blessing that gives you a chance at extra items with every purchase. This multiplies the value of your obols.

Salvage unwanted items for their aspects, adding them to your codex.

Using the Horadric Cube for Legendary Upgrades

The Horadric Cube offers a powerful method for generating legendary aspects:

Upgrade to Legendary Function: Take any yellow (rare) items and use Pure Primordial Dust to upgrade them to legendaries.

Important: Pure Primordial Dust has no other use in Horadric crafting. If you're not using it to hunt for legendary aspects, you're wasting the material entirely.

Blue to Yellow Conversion: If you have blue quality weapons, add an affix to make them rare (three or more affixes), then upgrade them to legendaries.

Farming Murmuring Obols Efficiently

To get thousands of obols per run:

Run Escalation Nightmare Dungeons with the Obols Reserve nightmare dungeon affix.

Invest three War Plan points in the dungeon tree's center row to unlock a choice between three portals on each stage.

Floor three Obols Reserve in higher torment drops approximately 400–450 obols per chest.

Additional Legendary Sources

Lair Bosses: Drop numerous random legendaries, especially early in the game.

Helltide: Drops lair keys for more boss runs and allows specific slot farming through its targeted chests.

Part Two: Greater Affix Equipment

The Three Hell Difficulty Capstone Dungeons

The best source for greater affix equipment is running the three Hell difficulty capstone dungeons:

World Stone Keep (the fastest of the three)

Each dungeon's final Primeval boss drops legendaries and potentially greater affixes.

Every 10–15 kills of the Primeval boss yields approximately eight legendary items with a minimum of two greater affixes each.

Other Greater Affix Sources

World Boss Special Chests: Occasionally drop greater affix legendaries.

Higher Tier Season Rank Boxes: Can drop multi-greater-affix items.

Jewelry Farming at the Jeweler

For amulets and rings specifically:

Roll endlessly at the jeweler in exchange for gem fragments and forgotten souls.

Forgotten souls are plentiful this season.

Example: Killing the first boss of World Stone Keep on Torment 4 yields six royal gems—enough to open approximately 18 jewelry boxes.

Affix Value Rerolling

The Horadric Cube's Affix Value Reroll craft lets you:

Reroll affix values without changing what those affixes are.

Safe for greater affixes—it will not reroll them.

Perfect for items with correct stats but low rolls.

Part Three: Uniques and Mythic Uniques

Understanding Mythic Drop Mechanics

Key principle: Mythic items drop from the same source as their non-mythic equivalent. For example, if a sword drops from Lord Zear, farm Lord Zear on the highest difficulty for the mythic version.

The Crafting Method for Targeted Mythics

For uniques without a set boss target:

Use the Upgrade to Mythic option at the Horadric Cube.

Cost: Five Resplendent Sparks.

Result: The item receives a "crafted" tag, limiting you to one crafted mythic equipped at a time.

The Three-to-One Recycling Trick

To get around the crafted tag limitation:

Craft three of the same mythic item (all with crafted tags).

Use the three-to-one unique item recycle craft to create a brand new mythic of the same type.

The new item will NOT have the crafted tag, allowing you to equip it alongside other crafted mythics.

This is the primary method players use to achieve full mythic loadouts.

Farming Resplendent Sparks

Best method: Run any of the three Primeval Dungeons on Hell difficulty.

Worldstone Keep is fastest.

These dungeons require no keys.

Bosses have unusually high mythic drop rates, including mythic seals.

15 mythic drops salvaged = 1 Resplendent Spark (enough for one crafted mythic).

Bosses also have a random chance to drop three Resplendent Sparks on death.

Primeval Splinters and Wirt's Lucky Coins

Each of the three Hell dungeons drops one Primeval Splinter.

Combine all three Splinters in the Horadric Cube to create Wirt's Lucky Coins.

These coins are the key to Uber Tristram—the most rewarding activity of the season.

Part Four: Uber Tristram and Endgame Rewards

Accessing Uber Tristram

Collect all Deckard Cain journals.

Gather Wirt's Lucky Coins (from combining Primeval Splinters).

In Old Tristram, interact with the well to create a portal.

Note: A recent patch fixed a bug that previously gave only a 50/50 chance of creating a portal. It is now safe to use your coins.

Rewards from Uber Tristram

The fight features three Primevals simultaneously and drops:

Special mythic charms unavailable anywhere else.

Mythic unique charms in large quantities (some players report four from a single run).

Mass mythic items.

If the special mythic charm rolls to count toward your used set bonus, equip it immediately—it is that powerful.

Part Five: Undercity and Additional Farming Methods

Kulian Tuning Prism Farming

After a recent patch fixed cube material drops from Undercity:

Run the Kulian Tuning Prism Bargain on the Ingenuity Tribute.

Players report getting 13 or more Kulian Tuning Prisms per run.

Use these to reroll the bonus legendary aspect on your amulet.

Set Bonus Charms and Legendary Seals

Tribute of the Horadrim: Best way to hunt set bonus charms and legendary seals.

Echoing Hatred: Drops numerous charms and seals from goblin plunder bags.
