Not all tributes work for the whole party. each tribute is either for a single player or a party, and it tells you which kind it is.

[@decompiler]

This. Legendary and Unique Tributes with “(Resolute)” at the end of their title come from Whisper caches and only reward the player who offer them, while Legendary and Unique Tributes with “(United)” at the end of their title come from World Bosses and reward all players in the Undercity run.

[@brandonmills3771]

You can run 3 essence at one time, type 1 , 2 , and 3 for 15 percent . Plus potion and opal. I also suggest running regular nmd to find the xp bonus well in some dungeons.

[@gangrenebob7281]

Run 3x incense for sure for the extra XP. instead of the single......one from each power level and stack them. I also misunderstood how temper resets work. I initially thought you get the new attempts but your previously picked tempers also were reset. Not the case, so if you had one good one and one bad one, you can keep that and plug away at replacing the bad temper.

Apparently, they don't tell you that you earned it, but if you go to a mount merchant it will appear in the cosmetic section.

The best source of mythics are Tributes of Ascendance. They seem to have a very, very high chance to drop a mythic. Get the tribute from World Boss or Whisper farming. It's rare to get one but the mythic chance is very high so if you're tired of Boss Ladder and their RNG, try doing some of that.

I am not sure at all! But I have a feeling that the Tenets of Akarat are categorised. Most have yellow lights, which seems to imply daytime - some have blue lights which seem to imply night-time - and some have red lights, which I assume mean Helltide. Instead of being bugged, I think they're simple time-gated. But as I said, I might be wrong - I'ts just an unverified hunch..

[@davidhines7592]

2minute or less rifts are back with spiritborn baby! d3 lives again!

[@noelzapatero2954]

As a side note, for those people like me that didn't buy the expansion; we are essentially entirely locked out of getting mythics; since runes are not available for the base game. Hence, we have greyed out the option in the jeweler. Our only option is to buy the random cache, which of course; you most probably won't get what you are looking for; or pray to get it as a drop from a boss (which after the hard nerf they did on mythic drops, I think is equally or even harder chance that the cache). I get that Blizzard is pushing people to buy the expansion (which tbh shouldn't have the price it has having already paid a full price game, but alas), but to remove completely the option of mythic target craft, is a dick move for those with the base game

[@canadiguzel]

Runes are so rare and we, those who have scammed by expansion cannot craft either. Dropping all mythics would take less time than being able to craft 1.

[@noelzapatero2954]

@@canadiguzel I get that, but still you have the opportunity to get them or even trade them with other people. With some grind you can target mythic. On the base game, that is directly no longer possible bc as much as you can grind, you are dead on luck of the RNG, besides that even doing like 50 tor runs on a row may get you one mythic tops, and sometimes not even that. Not saying it is a wrong mechanic, just saying it is unfair that is no longer an option for the base game as it was until last season

[@imFluey]

Yeah. Runes are insane for gold too. Blizzard are definitely scummy with this expansion.

[@narodrodriguez215]

I ran hundreds of dungeons to find mythics and can't find shit. Lucky to even found a few ancestral drops even at that am already burnt out with the grind..

If anyone is curious about the season event being so slow it's a bug with shared exp with your mercs Turn. Your merc off and farm mobs that spawn in the same area as the event boss and you'll max your season rep very quickly

[@Heman88888]

the torment tip is so bang on. I see people in T4 just because they got in and they die like every few min. It's like they have so much to prove. I like to farm on T3 because it is the most efficient.

[@medicineman152]

I'm quite verbose, so please bear with me. I apologize for the tism. I haven't seen anyone mention this: You can't just blindly follow build guides anymore. You need to stop at each Torment tier and solve the "defense puzzle" by re-tuning your armor and resistances to account for and offset the debuffs added in each tier. To that end, I suggest saving several acceptable items for each armor and jewelry slot as you find them. This way, if you just can't make your current setup work with enchanting or re-tempering, you have fresh extras you can tweak from the ground up. I say "save several" because we all know tempering doesn't always turn out how we want. By having multiple candidates for each slot, you drastically reduce the chances of failing entirely. It's also easier to keep from tilting while you temper if you have backups.

[@xzyvvy917]

For me the fix for the Tenets of Akarat was to disable the cross-play. With it off I was able to get them all.

Great video, :) Just a question. What is the main difference between doing Infernal Hordes vs Nightmare Dungeons? I feel the rewards are pretty much the same.

[@tmeekins42]

infernal hordes are great for experience. Nightmare dungeons are for masterworking mats.

[@Kylamiis]

Socketing is currently bugged on double socket items, gem that moves from top socket to bottom socket gives double stats - this can result confusion when trying to reach stat cap for paragon nodes - player has larger stat right after socketing, node activates, then if character changes map area either by portal or crossing area border, the stats get reset to correct lower value and the paragon node can deactivate from lack of stat. This can also be exploited to get a minor insignificant buff before big boss fight.

[@KainsTorment]

Hi Im a disabled gamer and I'm new to Diablo 4 (Level 40 at the moment doing the story) Is there a one or two button Necro build with Skeletal Mages? If so then what are the skills?

The special tribute that garentees a mythic rare says on top that only the player who uses the tribute will get the mythic but other party members will benefit by getting uniques for sure I know cuz I finally got one today after a lot of whispers . You get from whispers or world boss

[@lazaron1]

Tributes of ascendancy, seem to have around 50% mythic drop rate at rank 4. Masterworking - NM dungeons are actually faster than hordes for materials, reroll at lvl4 masterworking if you don't get preferred stat on first roll. Sell any none GA item to vendor and gold will be abundant. Try to combine activities with whispers, look at map, do bosses, horde, undercity and NM dungeons as much as possible when whisper/bounty NB. Not sure the XP well is worth targeting, versus the time used to find a non-bugged one - I think Wudijo did some testing

[@thomaswiik3810]

Regarding Incense: You can do 3 of those at once. One "Type 1", one Type 2" and one Type 3" So Im running Potion, Opal and 3 incense all the time. Im assuming they all stack.

Dear Rhykker, I am writing to you out of frustration. I have followed and subscribed to you for over 15 years. I tried to report a bug to Bliz developers but it fell on deaf ears. In the past they will call you back to talk to you but today there is no such service anymore. I am desperate and need your help in contacting those Bliz developers about a serious Aspect Bug. The Aspect bug is a serious matter. Normally when a gear drops and the aspect is better than the one at the Occultist, a small snowflake symbol will appear on the top right of the gear symbol. So when we salvage it at the BlackSmith the aspect is upgraded. But for me some of the gear will work but the other half does not work. What I mean is that even the gears with perfect aspect numbers does not show the small snowflake symbol. When I check at the Occultist, my MoonRise aspect is 11/16 but I got two drops on a weapon that shows 160/160 the highest max for MoonRise aspect but it does not show. I scarpped one of the weapon but my MoonRise aspect is NOT upgraded. The fact that the system does NOT recognise it as an upgrade shows that there is a serious problem here with the Aspects. I have collect like 12 items with that same problem. The problem Aspects are MoonRise, Fell SoothSayers, Unyielding Hits, Rapid, Inner Calm and many more. For example Inner Calm on an Amulet is 15/15 and on a two handed weapon is 20/20 but at the Occultist it is showing 11/17. What in the world is going on? This is so frustrating and unfair to gamers like me who are struggling. Please help me Rhykker. I appreciate any help you can offer me. Cheers.

A character cannot equip a mythic at level 35 *IF* the player has previously slotted a higher level gem! I made this mistake before and learned the hard way.

[@halsariph]

The Torment difficulty not mattering seems incorrect to me. (At least for bosses) Isn’t it true that EACH item dropped by a boss has a chance to be mythic? So your mythic drop chances are higher on higher torment considering you need to spend a resource you have to farm to even fight them. Right‽

[@ADarklore]

It USED TO BE before the changes to levels. Now all four torment levels require the same amount of boss materials.

[@halsariph]

@@ADarklore yes yes, but that’s not what I mean. I mean, you have to have resources to run a boss. So you have to farm the resources to run the boss. =time investment. But is that time investment more or less than running the boss less often and getting more loot each time. (Harder boss would be slower to beat, depending on build) Since each torment level the bosses drop more loot, each piece has a chance to be a mythic, right? Or do I have that wrong? If each drop has a chance to be a mythic, higher T bosses are more chances for mythics. If you can, you definitely should run the highest T boss you can. The difficulty matters in that case.

[@T0mT4yl0r]

How to get BLUE MAGIC RUNES???

[@Revenant6]

So does anyone know how many runes it is to actually craft a mythic?
