In Diablo 4 there are many ways to earn XP, including various dungeons and strongholds – but not all of them are equally suitable.
What has the player tested? The Reddit user “Drybear” has tested all 130 dungeons and strongholds in Diablo 4, determining which spot is best for farming XP.
To evaluate the individual dungeons, he compared “the speed, mob density, and the value of time per second spent in that encounter.”
Drybear has established a value for each dungeon and stronghold, indicating how well each facility is suited for targeted XP gathering, both for solo players and groups.

Table shows which dungeon is best for XP farming
The result of which dungeon is best for XP farming has been documented by Drybear in a table on “Google Docs” (via docs.google.com)
The higher the respective value for solo players or groups, the better a dungeon is suited.
Which dungeon is the best? From Drybear’s table, it emerges that the dungeon “Sarat’s Lair” is said to be the best for XP farming, as it received 4 points for speed and the highest XP values for solo and group players.
Sarat’s Lair is located in the region “Scosglen” and features numerous spiders and vampires, as well as the namesake boss Sarat. The minimum level for the dungeon is 20.
Which stronghold is the best? According to Drybear’s table, the “Temple of Rot” is the best stronghold. It has the highest possible speed rating (5 out of 5) and solid scores for solo players and groups.
In the “Temple of Rot,” which is playable from level 35, you will encounter cannibals and flies.
Is there a downside to the table? Drybear posted the table with the dungeons and strongholds on July 17 – thus he finished his dungeon evaluation at possibly the worst time, as the update for Season 1 of Diablo 4 is released on July 18.
It is quite possible that Blizzard will make changes to the dungeons and strongholds with the release of the update, rendering the values that Drybear has determined in his tests outdated. If that is the case, we will add this information to the article.
