The Ultimate Diablo IV Season Guide: How to Farm God-Tier Amulets

Another fantastic season in Diablo IV means another three months of desperately trying to find that elusive multiple-passive amulet. This season, with the introduction of Sanctification and the impending Leaderboard launch, securing a near-perfect amulet is no longer just a flex—it’s a requirement to compete at the top. Whether you're trying to afford the materials for endless enchanting or looking to buy Diablo IV Gold to fund your gambling addiction at the Purveyor, having a steady economy is just as important as having a steady supply of item bases. A lot of players are asking the same question: How do you actually get enough item bases to potentially hit it big? While I’ve had my fair share of luck, the slot I’ve struggled with the most has been the amulet. No surprise there. But luckily for you, I’ve found a method you either haven’t thought of, haven’t heard about, or simply haven’t done the math on to see if it’s worth your time.

· Spoiler alert: It involves a little 4G ring, a lot of gem fragments, and a trip to the Jeweler you probably never make.

The Problem: The Amulet Slot & The 750 Paradox

Before we dive into the solution, we need to understand the unique place amulets hold in the current meta.

· Top players pushing the leaderboards are currently sporting Item Power 750 amulets alongside their 800+ gear. Why? Because the power gap between 750 and 800 only truly matters on a few key pieces (namely your weapon and mythics).

· For an amulet, a four-passive amulet that rolls up to +3 after masterworking is functionally identical to an Ancestral, only missing a single Greater Affix (GA). You can absolutely get by with a well-rolled 750 amulet and outperform many Ancestrals.

The holy grail? Finding an amulet with three of your best passives, allowing you to temper and Sanctify it into a four-passive monster. This is where our method comes in.

The Solution: The Forgotten Jeweler & Gem Caches

You probably visit the Jeweler to unsocket runes or craft mythics. But have you ever scrolled down to the Jewel Crafting tab?

Here, you have the ability to generate Caches for a handful of Forgotten Souls, a minor amount of Gold, and most importantly, Gem Fragments—those things you have millions of after crafting your Grand Gems.

· Cost: A few Forgotten Souls, Gold, and Gem Fragments.

· Yield: 5 items (2 Amulets, 3 Rings) with the standard chance to be Ancestral.

· The GA rate on these appears to be about 8%, meaning you can expect a GA every 2-3 caches. But as we established, the amulet itself doesn't even need a GA to be bis (best in slot).

Proof in the Pudding:

While testing this, I opened a cache and quite literally pulled a triple-passive amulet. It wasn't a perfect roll, but it was proof of concept. It’s an amulet I could immediately take to the Occultist and attempt to enchant into a quad-passive. That’s the dream.

The Data: Which Activity is Best for Bases

So, you’re going to empty your current Gem Fragment stash. But then what? Which activity gives you the most "bases" (items to slam) for your time? I collected over 500 data points across a dozen activities to find the objective truth. We’re looking for activities that provide both high item drops and high Gem Fragment gains to fuel more crafting. Here is the breakdown of the best activities, ranked by Amulets Per Minute:

1. The King: PvP Zone Chests (The Undisputed Winner)

If you want to turn your brain off and farm 50+ bases in one sitting, this is it.

· Why it's #1: The chests in the PvP zone are absolutely loaded. Each run (about 5 minutes) nets you massive value.

· The Haul: You get an insane amount of items (including 800 power Ancestrals), Forgotten Souls, Veiled Crystals, Gold (up to ~1 billion every 2 hours), and Legendary/Rare runes for crafting mythics.

· The Rate: Over 0.5 caches per minute and 1+ amulet per minute, not including the 4-12 items you're getting directly from the chests themselves.

· The Vibe: No cost to enter, always whispers available, and you can fully turn off your brain.

2. The Golden Standard: Tribute of Radiance (Undercity)

This is the best method for targeted farming.

· Why it's great: You can pay 50 million gold to guarantee every item that can have a passive will have one. This means any amulet that drops is a quarter of the way to being a triple-passive.

· The Haul: Each 4-5 minute run drops about 2 amulets on average, plus the 800 Obols from the seasonal power (8 more pulls at the vendor). You're looking at roughly 10 amulet chances per run.

· The Catch: I personally hate running Undercity. It’s brainless, the routing is tedious, and waiting for the boss to die feels like an eternity.

3. The Speed Demon: Treasure Breach

· Why it's good: It's fast (under 2 minutes) and goblins, especially the Gem Goblin, drop a ton of loot and fragments.

· The Rate: Slightly outperforms basic gem sigils and is significantly better for ancillary drops like runes and gold.

4. The "Meh" Tier: Everything Else

· Infernal Hordes: Takes 12 minutes. Decent returns, but the time investment is high. Good if you need Scrolls of Restoration.

· Helltide: Takes 30-45 minutes. Great for a bit of everything (whispers, boss mats, Duriel kills), but the amulet-per-minute rate can't compete with the top two.

· Nightmare Dungeons (Gem Reserves): Terrible. Low value, low drops. Avoid these for this specific farm.

· Avarice (World Boss): Quick, but the sample data was inconsistent.

· The Verdict: While Radiance Tributes are mathematically elite, the PvP Zone outperforms them in my book due to the lack of "buy-in" cost (you eventually run out of tributes), the sheer volume of side materials, and the fact that I just don't hate doing it.

How to Execute the Ultimate Amulet Farm

1. Empty Your Stash: Go to the Jeweler immediately and open every single Gem Cache you can craft. You’ve been sitting on hundreds of thousands of fragments. Use them.

2. Head to the PvP Zone: Find a quiet instance and start opening chests. Focus on the ones that drop gear. Kill mobs for whispers and events if you want, but the chests are the main event.

3. Rinse and Repeat: Fill your stash with amulet bases. Don't even look at them yet.

4. The Great Slamming: Once you have 50+ amulets, take them to the Occultist and Blacksmith.

· Check for 2-3 good passive skills.

· Enchant the ones with potential to try and get that third or fourth passive.

· Temper them.

· Sanctify them.

· Masterwork them.

· Remember, the top players have slammed thousands of items. They are using 750 item power boots and helmets because the stats matter more than the power. You need volume to hit that 1% roll of a triple passive + a perfect Sanctification. Of course, all that enchanting, tempering, and masterworking burns through resources fast—if you find yourself running low on Veiled Crystals or Forgotten Souls, you can always buy Diablo 4 items/materials from MMOEXP to keep the crafting train rolling without the grind. So, get out there, ignore the Undercity if you hate it, and go open some PvP chests. Your quad-passive, game-changing amulet is waiting for you in a cache you haven't even opened yet.
