On June 14th, a patch for Diablo 4 weakened the XP yield of many dungeons that were important for fast XP farming. However, there are still strong level dungeons.
Leveling up quickly in Diablo 4 has proven to be a repetitive grind task – players played the same dungeons over and over.
Developer Blizzard wants to change that, adjusting all dungeons with a patch so that they provide approximately the same amount of XP.
So far, this has not worked out optimally. Which dungeons are still suitable for power leveling and why it doesn’t always have to be the same dungeon will be revealed here.
How to remember to think about the damn XP elixirs more often is explained in the video:
“Killing all enemies” is now the way to level up
Which dungeon should one grind now? There are still some dungeons that can be played quickly and offer a lot of XP. Currently, it is the dungeons where you have to defeat all monsters.
They were bad for leveling before the patch. But the developers have tweaked the system and now more monsters can spawn directly with you at any time – a gift of running XP. Even elite enemies can appear. Elites and their minions provide more XP than normal enemies.
Currently strong for leveling is the dungeon: Demon’s Pull in the south of Scosglen, directly south of the Firebreak estate.
How do you play the dungeon? The first area is slow. Run quickly through the rooms and look for the two totems that you need to defeat. The first area of Demon’s Pull is a loop, which makes it great for farming.
Though parts of the dungeon look slightly different every time, you always have the loop:
In the green-marked area, you have the chance of a shrine event – definitely take it when it spawns. It always promises good extra enemies.
Otherwise, run back to the door (red marking) and enter the second area. Here you have to defeat all monsters, and in the large, rather open area, many monsters can be gathered and wiped out in an XP explosion.
Afterwards you leave the dungeon via the quick choice and reset the dungeon by logging out once and then logging back into the game. If you are in a group, the group leader should leave the group and invite the other players again – then the dungeon is fresh again.
Other strong dungeons for power leveling:
- Ruins of Eridu
- Iron Fortress
- Abandoned Quarry
The colleagues from GameStar recommend the dungeon Blind Caves after the nerf (via gamestar.de).
Are there other methods? Anyone who doesn’t want to grind the same dungeon over and over can also switch to nightmare dungeons after the patch. Diablo expert wudijo says that there are currently strong XP dungeons here that can also be fast.
