Diablo 4 Season 7 Item And Affixes: How To Choose Them?

Hello Wanderers, are you looking for the best way to collect Gem Fragments in Diablo 4 Season 7 to have more chances to craft Grand Gems and Occult Gems to optimize your character? If yes, then it’s time for this guide to come into play. Here, we will show you the fastest way to farm Whisper Caches to take your gameplay to the next level! Why Should You Collect Whisper Caches? First, we will dive into the most efficient way to collect Whisper Caches. In fact, when collecting Whisper Caches, you are also collecting Gem Fragments. In essence, you are collecting multiple valuable resources at the same time! These include Boss Summoning Materials, Legendary Gear, Greater Affixes Gear, Tributes, Uniques, Gold, Crafting Materials, Scattered Prisms, Runes, Restless Rot, XP, and more. Additionally, Whisper Caches can be used to upgrade another character to level 60 in less than 1 minute, making it an extremely efficient resource for gear and upgrades as well! Remember that Runes are only available if you have Vessel of Hatred expansion. But don’t worry, if you don’t have the expansion yet, you can still make the most of these farming strategies! Preparation Before you start running Whispers Bounties, it’s best to prepare in advance to maximize your efficiency. Therefore, I recommend equipping boots, amulets, or any gear that increases your movement speed, the higher the better, which will help you reduce your travel time and allow you to reach your goals more efficiently. If you don’t have any gear that increases movement speed, you can use Citadel Coins to get Elixir of Tailwind from Dark Citadel Vendor, which will increase your movement speed by 15%, helping you farm faster. Be sure to bring some Incense and Elixir to increase your XP and bonus stats, especially if you haven’t reached Paragon Level 300 yet. Since you’ll be leveling up while farming, this will help you progress faster. Don’t forget, it’s a good idea to keep some Whispering Keys in your inventory, as you’ll come across many Silent Chests in Headhunt Zones. These chests require a Whispering Key to open, which you can redeem from Purveyor of Curiosities for 10 Murmuring Obols each. Having a key on hand will save you from constantly teleporting back to town when you find Silent Chests. These chests may contain valuable loot, including Diablo 4 Gold, Legendary gear, Gem Fragments, and more. Complete Whispers Bounties To get Whisper Caches, you need to complete Whispers Bounties and collect 10 Grim Favors. There are tons of Bounties scattered throughout Sanctuary, but one of the best places to collect them is in Headhunt Zones, where you can easily get over 20 Grim Favors simply by completing Bounties in that area. However, not all Whispers Bounties are worth running, some take a long time to complete, and some offer fewer Grim Favors, making them inefficient. In order to maximize your rewards in the shortest possible time, you’ll want to focus on the most efficient Bounties that offer the highest return on investment. For Headhunts, 1 Red, 6 Light Red, and 6 Pink Bounties are spawned per zone, with 3 Headhunt Zones total, each with a different start time and lasting 40 minutes. Red Bounties reward 5 Grim Favors upon completion. Light Red Bounties reward 3 Grim Favors each. Pink Bounties only offer 1 Grim Favors and are generally not worth running because of the low return on time investment. However, Slay Bounty is an exception, and it only requires you to defeat 2 Thralls of Rot to complete. These enemies are represented by red skull icons on your mini-map, and you’ll naturally encounter them while completing other Bounties, making this a quick and easy Bounty. For Light Red Bounties, you should ignore Wisps and Patrol as they take longer to complete, but if you notice another player is about to complete a Wisps Bounty, you can jump in at the last minute so you can get free Grim Favors without much effort. Scour Bounties, on the other hand, are fairly easy, you just need to collect 7 Herbs in Headhunts and then find a Scouring Cauldron to defeat Elite and complete the quest. To speed up the process, I highly recommend hiring Subo as your mercenary, as he can reveal all enemies and materials in the area, making it easier to find them quickly. To optimize efficiency, tackle this Scour Bounty while performing other Bounties to save time. You can efficiently complete three Light Red Bounties: Harvest, Purge the Rot, and Shepherd, and one Red Bounty, Fugitive, which rewards 5 Grim Favors, in a brief time. Always start with Shepherd, and while completing Shepherd, you will naturally complete both Harvest and Purge the Rot at the same time. Once Shepherd is completed, Exposed Roots will appear nearby. Interacting with them may trigger an Uprooted Cocoon, spawning a Headless Husk or Fugitive Head, and even if not, they will drop valuable loot, including Gem Fragments, and even spawn Treasure Goblins. Almost everything you kill in Headhunt Zones has a chance to drop Gem Fragments, and even Silent Chests can contain them. This is why it’s important to keep some Whispering Keys in your inventory at all times. If an Uprooted Cocoon appears, quickly eliminate the boss before completing the remaining bounties. Alternatively, you can also join an Uprooted Cocoon summoned by another player to complete the bounty faster. You can complete all of these bounties in under 10 minutes, earning 20 or more Grim Favors per run. This means you can claim one or two Whisper Caches per run. Bonus Tips After completing a zone’s quests, head to another zone and repeat the process until you’ve collected enough Whisper Caches and Gem Fragments. Always start with the zone with the least time remaining to complete as many bounties as possible. Then, head to the other two zones and complete their quests before the bounties reset. During your collection, prioritize picking up valuable loot, focusing on Legendary, Unique, and Greater Affixes gear. If you already have enough materials and gold, you can even skip picking up excess Legendary gear to reduce the need to return to town as often. This will help you minimize downtime, maximize efficiency, and farm longer without unnecessary interruptions. Also, always have your Whisper Caches open at a vendor near town so you can quickly sell, salvage, or store your loot. This keeps your inventory organized and prevents clutter, ensuring you can be ready for your next farm without delay. If you complete these bounties at lightning speed before the three Headhunt Zones reset, you can use the downtime to tackle noteworthy Red Bounties outside of Headhunts, including: World Bosses, Uber Bosses, Blood Maiden, Seething Abomination, Kurast Undercity, The Pit and Dungeons. These activities only take a few minutes to complete, making them a great way to maximize efficiency while waiting for Headhunts to reset. Collecting Whisper Caches efficiently is one of the best ways to stockpile Gem Fragments, Greater Affixes Gear, Legendary Items, Gold, and Crafting Materials while also earning a ton of XP. By optimizing bounties within Headhunt Zones, you can complete all high-value bounties in under 10 minutes and earn 20+ Grim Favors per mission. That’s all for this Whisper Caches collecting guide! By following these strategies, you can collect efficiently, maximize your loot, and power up your character faster. Happy hunting!

Some time ago, Diablo 4 Season 7 was officially announced, with the theme of Season of Witchcraft. A lot of new game content has been added, such as Witchcraft Powers, which pays tribute to Witch Doctor class in D3, and new gear, etc., which will make players curious and look forward to this new season. However, since many new contents in this season have been modified by the developers, many players are not clear about the specific details, which may be detrimental to the thorough exploration of D4S7. So in order to avoid this situation, this guide will list the most important features and changes to the gameplay in Diablo 4 Season 7 for you, so that you can start exploring at will when you enter the new season. 1. New Seasonal Powers The first thing I have to introduce is the theme of this new season, which is also Witchcraft Powers that can change the gameplay the most. They are unique passive activation skills with various effects. You can unlock these powers at new altars in the improved Tree of Whispers in Season 7, each of which corresponds to a different Witchcraft ability tree. In addition, you also need to complete whisper bounties and defeat new Headrotten enemies to obtain the exclusive seasonal currency - Restless Rot, in order to gain the favor of Coven to fully unlock the very powerful seasonal power. Among all Witchcraft Powers, the most powerful are Lost Powers, which you need to unlock at Forgotten Altars. You can put one or two of them in your build to enhance your character’s damage ability or defense ability. I believe that with the powerful help of this Witchcraft Powers, some correct builds may allow you to complete many game contents very smoothly and easily, even endgame, so that you can get Diablo 4 Gold and other loot from it very easily. 2. Class Changes It is worth mentioning in Season 7 that Spiritborn class, the darling of the previous DLC, has been weakened here in order to achieve harmony and balance among the classes in the entire game. This may be a little annoying for players who like to use this class to explore most of the game content, but from the perspective of overall game balance and build diversity, it is beneficial for players to make more new builds with different abilities based on the current stage of improvements to adapt to all explorations. As for other Classes in the base game, first of all, Druid’s Shred has received a buff to increase poison damage, and other skills have also added a lot of functions that can perfectly synergize with poison damage effects, making this elemental damage another possibility in this Class build that focuses on physical damage. Necromancer’s Blood Mist and Blood Wave have also received some powerful buffs, and the latter has a Unique that can be cleverly matched. Although Sorcerer’s performance in D4’s testing of this new season was not satisfactory, it has received some very important passive enhancements and some changes to the recast action function in the official season, which is very worth a try. Rogue also received some new functions from Death Traps and Caltrops; Barbarian’s Hammer of Ancients, Whirlwind, and Iron Maelstrom have all received some degree of enhancement. 3. Paragon Board Paragon Board has already undergone a major overhaul last season, and it has changed again in Season 7. First of all, as some players have already experienced, you can share the experience of Paragon Board between all characters. Secondly, all experience on Paragon Board can be transferred to Eternal Realm, and the upper limit has been increased from 200 to 300. At the same time, many of the nodes have been redesigned or enhanced. This means that your exploration in the endgame stage may produce a lot of new builds to adapt to this new mechanism. In addition, the developers have added Armory so that you can switch between different builds at will, including skills, gear and Paragon Points. This change is something that D4 players have wanted for many years, because it will prevent players from spending a lot of time and Diablo 4 Gold to rebuild or change their builds when facing battles of different difficulties. 4. Tree Of Whispers As just mentioned, Tree of Whispers plays a new role in Season 7 - not only can you exchange Favors here for Caches that can provide you with high-value D4 Items, you will also get new seasonal powers from here. In addition, the newly added Headrotten enemies to the game also come from here, so Tree of Whispers may be the center of this season. It is worth mentioning that the reward system in the previous Tree has also been enhanced. Your chances of getting Ancestral Collections from it have been greatly improved, which may reduce your pressure to grind and farm these high-value items in those very difficult bosses, making you more willing to explore the rest of the game content. 5. New Dungeons And Enemies In Season of Witchcraft, you will see that Sanctuary is full of new enemies. For example, Heads near the Tree of Whispers are gone, replaced by Headrotten enemies. In addition, a new seasonal dungeon called Rootholds has been added to the game, which you can enter through Whisper Wood Sigils obtained from Whisper Caches and Silent Chests. Although each new season will provide you with some new enemies and dungeons to keep you fresh in the game, it is different in S7. The rewards and game experiences they provide you are not available in previous seasons, which may subvert your stereotype of this game that can only be played for grinding. 6. New Gear As with all seasonal updates of Diablo 4, the developers will add new Legendary Aspects and Uniques to Classes in the game to increase the diversity of build types and maintain the balance between all classes. In addition, Runewords, which were newly added in the last season, have also received some fresh blood. However, what is emphasized here is not them, but a new gem - Occult Gems, which can increase your basic armor value by 160 points and increase resistance to all elemental damage by 8%. Besides this benefit, it also has additional synergistic benefits to your new Witchcraft Powers when you place it in a jewel slot in your build, such as increased damage capabilities of the power, increased effectiveness against hexed enemies, and enhancements to attributes in the build. The above are the specific features in Diablo 4 Season 7 that have significant changes to the overall gameplay and game experience. I hope that with the help of these changes and new features, you can better explore this new Season of Witchcraft and get a different gaming experience from it. By the way, if your game progress is slow due to lack of gold or items in the new season, you can try to participate in the giveaway channel in iGMeet Discord, where game product giveaways are held from time to time, which will make your exploration smoother. I wish you a happy game!

As the release of Diablo 4 Season 7 approaches, the developers have released another pre-season patch, which adds some groundbreaking game content - ADS (Adaptive Difficulty Scaling) and AR (Augmented Reality). These two innovative technologies have greatly changed the gameplay of Diablo 4, which has been criticized by players and requires constant experience and may subvert previous game concepts. After the release of this patch, many Diablo 4 players are more excited and looking forward to the arrival of Season 7. However, since the official patch notes may be a little obscure, in this guide we will integrate the roles of these two cutting-edge technologies in the game based on the existing information and what kind of help they will bring to players. About ADS First, let’s take a look at ADS, the full name of which is Adaptive Difficulty Scaling. It will use a very advanced machine learning algorithm to adjust the game difficulty dynamically according to the player’s personal skill level and game style. Therefore, this personalized gameplay setting allows both new players who are new to action role-playing games and veteran players who are familiar with the entire game process to get a balanced gaming experience. In addition, unlike traditional leveling systems, Diablo 4 with ADS can track player performance in Season 7 and modify enemy strength, loot drop rate, and even the difficulty of mission challenges. For example, if your current level is low, the strength of the enemies you need to kill when exploring a certain area may also decrease, and the amount of Diablo 4 Gold you get from it may increase, so that you can use it to enhance your build. In this case, your exploration in this game will always be attractive to you, and you may even feel that you can break through some limits within your controllable ability. Most importantly, with the blessing of this technology, you will no longer experience those tedious farming and grinding processes. However, the addition of this ADS function to the game may confuse players who are used to grinding, because the potential unpredictable difficulty adjustment will make these players overturn the builds and methods used in previous seasons, and re-establish a complete gameplay strategy, which may be a huge challenge. In addition, players need to learn some curved gameplay dynamics under this function to adapt to the non-static game difficulty and enemy strength in Season 7. In this case, just keep the attack and defense balance in your build, so your build should have a balanced state of many attributes and statistics. Some element types you focus on can be strengthened by some specialized Diablo 4 Items. About AR The ADS function just introduced is the impact on the gameplay and mechanism in Diablo 4, while AR (full name is Augmented Reality) is a function that has a significant impact on the entire game screen and played experience. In this new technology, players are allowed to use their mobile devices to scan the surrounding environment and superimpose game elements on the real world environment. It blends the traditional role-playing experience with the latest augmented reality technology to create a game that seamlessly mixes the virtual and real world. This is also a change in the way players experience the dark fantasy world in Sanctuary that they want to achieve. Although this feature did not appear in the previous Season 7 PTR, and not many players have experienced this feature yet, you can imagine that you bring the demon battle you need to complete in Sanctuary into your living room or a large open space, where you will have a very immersive exploration. Most importantly, this breaks the prejudice that many people have about playing games and hurting the body. AR will support you to leave the computer desk and replace sitting for a long time with some interactive sports, which greatly increases your sense of fun in exploration. What’s more, this feature redefines the narrative process and experience of traditional MMO games, turning mundane everyday scenes into special in-game experiences. Of course, in addition to the visual effects in Diablo 4, AR feature will also be combined with spatial audio to provide 360-degree soundscapes that adapt to different real-world settings, making each AR session unique and extremely interesting. Like ADS feature, AR also has some drawbacks. First, not all mobile devices support all advanced AR features, and the quality of the AR experience may also vary depending on the environment and hardware specifications, which may limit access for some players. However, according to current market feedback, AR technology is becoming more and more mainstream and is used more and more frequently in such games, so it is possible that in the near future, most players will use mobile devices that support AR technology to explore Diablo 4. The above are some changes that may occur in the gameplay and game experience of Diablo 4 Season 7 according to the patch released some time ago. In fact, the addition of these two new features shows that in the future, games are not only about playing games but also about experiencing games. Every request made by players will indirectly affect the game world. More importantly, developers can carefully extract players’ feedback on game content. Here, I would like to remind you that before starting the exploration of Season 7, you may need to ensure that your game product inventory is sufficient for your character to explore smoothly and easily at the beginning of the season. If you lack necessary products such as gold or items, you can get free products in the giveaway channel in iGMeet Discord, which will make your exploration experience better.
