↖ Living Steel: The Game Changer

With the hotfix, Living Steel drops from specific chests have increased from 3 to 5, ensuring each chest provides enough Living Steel to summon Greguar at least once.

Helltide chests also guarantee at least one Living Steel, boosting farming efficiency. You might even hit the jackpot with 10 drops sometimes!

↖ Why Does This Matter?

Whether you're farming Duriel or not, these changes will be a game changer.

Living Steel means more summons, and summons mean more chances to capture those elusive Uber Uniques.

↖ Farming cinders efficiently

The most effective way to get those Cinders right now is to roam the map and destroy every chaotic monster you find.

Thanks to increased monster density and Cinder drop rates, this method is more effective than ever.

Focus on events with lots of enemies like Waves of Darkness or Jar of Souls. These events are ideal for cinder farming.

When collecting souls in Jar of Souls, remember to focus on enemies first.

↖ Choosing the Right Events

There are certain events that offer more Cinders than others.

Legion events are a goldmine for Cinders.

Your goal is to collect anywhere from 1,800 to 2,200 Cinders per Helltide.

↖ The ideal build

Builds should be able to clear groups quickly and with minimal cooldowns, such as ball lightning sorcerers.

↖ Strategy for the chest

The Living Steel chests cost 300 Cinders, but they guarantee five Living Steel, with a chance of doubling it.

Kistan regions sometimes offer three chests, making them highly valuable.

It is important to remember that chest spawns reset every hour. So, if you get in and open your chests before the reset, then you can go after the new spawns.

↖ Beyond Living Steel Chests

After you've maxed out on Living Steel chests, don't stop there.

Cheaper chests, such as armor and ring chests, drop one Living Steel each and cost 75 Cinders.

They may offer less efficiency, but they still contribute to your Living Steel haul.

↖ Conclusion

With Helltide farming recently hotfixed, the strategy has become more rewarding. As Diablo 4 evolves, so should we. The following guide should assist you in getting the most out of your Living Steel collection and Uber Uniques.
