After the release of Diablo 4's Hotfix 8 on June 11, adjustments were made to the Elite monster rates in dungeons. These changes had a significant impact on Champion's Demise, a popular dungeon for players to quickly farm XP and loot. However, players need not fret as there is still a dungeon that rewards fast levels and Legendaries. This guide is here to direct fans to the best option available. It is important to note that this XP farm is most effective when played in a group and at World Tier 4. Nevertheless, solo players and those in World Tier 3 should still give it a try as it may be more advantageous than other available options. Players should also remember to use Diablo 4's Elixirs to increase the rate of acquisition regardless of their XP farming approach.
Diablo 4: Best XP Farm
For players looking to maximize their XP gain following Hotfix 8 in Diablo 4, the Ruins of Eridu dungeon in the Hawezar region is the optimal choice. Located in the Toxic Fens and accessible via the Vyeresz waypoint, the exact location of the dungeon has been marked on the map below for clarity. To avoid lag while approaching the dungeon, players may want to consider disabling cross-network play in the Social section of the Options menu.
The Ruins of Eridu offers an excellent opportunity for leveling up due to its unparalleled mob density and abundance of Elites. As soon as players enter the dungeon, they will encounter large packs of mobs, providing a steady stream of experience points. Additionally, the high number of Elites on the map makes it a prime location for farming valuable loot.
To maximize XP gains, teaming up with others is recommended when farming the Ruins of Eridu. This not only grants a bonus to XP, but also allows for an instant dungeon reset. The group leader can easily initiate this by selecting the Leave Party option and returning to the overworld map. From there, they can re-enter the dungeon to start anew and regroup with their previous party members.
For those who prefer to farm solo, a fully cleared dungeon will reset after 60 seconds of being vacated, while a partially cleared one will reset after 150 seconds. It's important to note that leaving any portals within the dungeon will prevent the reset from occurring, so be sure to clear the area completely before leaving.
Diablo 4 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
