Diablo 4 Season 11: The Easiest Way Ever to Farm Passive Skill Amulets
Passive skill amulets have long been one of the most powerful and elusive gear pieces in Diablo IV. For many builds, a well-rolled amulet with the right passive can mean the difference between feeling "good" and feeling completely broken. Historically, though, finding these amulets has been a frustrating grind with unreliable odds.

In Season 11, that changes.
Thanks to several system updates-most notably the increased availability of Tributes of Radiance and easier access to Opals-farming passive skill amulets has never been more accessible. With the right setup and a focused approach, you can dramatically improve your chances of landing strong ancestral legendary amulets with valuable passive skill affixes.
This guide breaks down exactly how to farm passive skill amulets efficiently in Diablo 4 Season 11, step by step, using seasonal powers, targeted farming routes, and smart resource management.
Why Passive Skill Amulets Matter So Much
Amulets are already one of the most impactful gear slots in Diablo 4 due to their inherent bonuses. When you add passive skill affixes into the mix, their value skyrockets. These passives can:
Boost core damage scaling
Enhance survivability
Enable entire build archetypes
Free up skill points elsewhere
Because passive skill affixes are rare and not guaranteed on amulets, many players spend entire seasons without seeing a usable one. Season 11's changes finally tilt the odds in the player's favor-if you farm correctly.
Step One: Level the Right Divine Gifts
The foundation of this farming strategy begins with Seasonal Powers, also known as Divine Gifts. Two of them are absolutely essential and must be leveled all the way to Rank 5.
1. Essence of Sin (Mandatory)
This is the single most important Divine Gift for this farm.
Once leveled to Rank 5, slot Essence of Sin into a Purified Slot
It significantly improves your ability to farm Tributes of Radiance
Best way to level Essence of Sin:
Farm the outdoor Asmodan event just outside of Zarbinzet
Kill Asmodan repeatedly on Normal difficulty
Reset and repeat
This method may take time, but it is far more efficient than higher difficulties for leveling this specific essence quickly.
2. Essence of Anguish (Also Mandatory)
The second key Divine Gift is Essence of Anguish.
This essence boosts Opal generation
Opals play a crucial role later in the farming loop
Best way to level Essence of Anguish:
Repeatedly run Kurast Undercity
Focus on consistency rather than speed
Once both essences are fully leveled, slot both Essence of Sin and Essence of Anguish into purified slots in your seasonal interface. This combination unlocks the core of the Season 11 amulet farming strategy.
Step Two: Farming Tributes of Radiance
In previous seasons, Tributes of Radiance were rare and unreliable. Season 11 dramatically increases their drop rates, making them a cornerstone of targeted loot farming.
Best Sources of Tributes of Radiance
With Essence of Sin equipped, focus on the following activities:
1. Asmodan Outdoor Event
Kill Asmodan repeatedly
Open any of the three event chests
Each chest can drop multiple Tributes of Radiance
With Essence of Sin active, you'll frequently receive several tributes per chest, making this one of the fastest farming methods.
2. World Bosses
Always participate when a World Boss is active
World Bosses can drop multiple Tributes of Radiance at once
High efficiency for minimal time investment
Using these two sources, it's very realistic to accumulate dozens of Tributes of Radiance in a short farming session.
Step Three: Using Tributes Correctly in Kurast Undercity
Once you've stockpiled Tributes of Radiance, it's time to convert them into amulets.
Go to Kurast Undercity Brazier
Insert your Tribute of Radiance into the brazier
Navigate to the Bargain Gain tab
Choose the Correct Bargain (Critical Step)
Always select the bargain that:
Guarantees legendary amulets drop with at least one passive skill affix
Cost: 50 million Diablo 4 gold
Value: Extremely high
Yes, this is expensive-but skipping this step drastically lowers your odds. Without this bargain, passive skill amulets become inconsistent and unreliable. With it, you are guaranteed at least one passive skill affix on legendary amulets from the run.
Step Four: Running Kurast Undercity the Right Way
Simply entering Kurast Undercity isn't enough. How you complete the run matters.
Fill the Blue Progression Bar
Always fully complete the blue progression bar on the right side of the screen
Why this matters:
You gain additional loot at the end
Essence of Anguish triggers Opal drops
You receive extra Opals after each progression tier
Each completed tier drops Opals directly onto your character, massively accelerating your Opal accumulation.
What to Expect at the Boss
If everything is done correctly-Tribute active, correct bargain selected, progression bar filled-you should see:
Multiple Ancestral Legendary items
Typically 1–2 Ancestral Legendary Amulets per run
Guaranteed passive skill affixes on legendary amulets
This alone makes Season 11 significantly more generous than any previous season when it comes to amulet farming.
Step Five: Using Opals to Gamble for More Amulets
The farm doesn't stop with Kurast Undercity runs.
Because Essence of Anguish generates so many Opals, you'll quickly reach the Opal cap-often after just two or three runs.
When You're Opal-Capped:
1.Visit the Purveyor of Curiosities
2.Gamble specifically for Amulets
Important note:
Amulets from gambling are not guaranteed to roll passive skills
However, they still have a chance to drop as Ancestral Legendary
While less reliable than Tribute runs, gambling provides additional attempts at strong amulets with no wasted resources.
Why This Method Works So Well in Season 11
This strategy is effective because it layers multiple loot systems together:
Guaranteed passive affixes via Tribute bargains
Increased Tribute availability
Opal generation scaling through Essence of Anguish
Additional amulet attempts through gambling
Instead of relying on random world drops, you are actively forcing the game to roll amulets repeatedly, dramatically increasing your odds of success.
How Long Does This Take
Compared to previous seasons, this method is incredibly efficient.
Essence leveling: The longest part, but fully deterministic
Tribute farming: Fast and repeatable
Kurast runs: Consistent returns
Gambling: Bonus attempts at no extra farming cost
With focused play, you can realistically secure a decent passive skill amulet in a fraction of the time it used to take.
Final Thoughts: Passive Amulets Have Never Been Easier
Season 11 fundamentally changes how players approach amulet farming in Diablo 4. What was once one of the most painful grinds in the game is now structured, efficient, and rewarding.
By combining:
Essence of Sin
Essence of Anguish
Tributes of Radiance
Kurast Undercity bargains
Opal gambling
You create a loop that continuously feeds you ancestral legendary amulets with passive skill affixes. In addition, MMOexp offers you a variety of rare Diablo 4 items!
If you've ever felt locked out of high-end builds due to poor amulet luck, Season 11 finally gives you the tools to fix that.
