↖ Begin with Normal Dungeons

Start your farming session by tackling normal dungeons. These dungeons provide you with five Grim favors each. By completing two of them, you'll have ten Grim favors, which can be turned in easily.

↖ Embrace HellTides

HellTides are a significant source of Grim favors. In total, you can find 11 of them, offering various opportunities for Varshan Mats farming. Some locations may even have all three Hell Tides close together, maximizing your efficiency.

↖ Explore PvP Zones Sparingly

PvP zones offer five Grim favors when you defeat the Seething Abomination. However, the spawn rate of this boss can be unpredictable. Consider doing this step last due to time constraints.

↖ Utilize Legions Wisely

Legions provide three Grim favors but are only available at specific intervals. While they can be helpful, they might not be as efficient as other methods.

↖ Cluster Your Efforts

Look for clusters of Grim favor turn-ins. Some areas feature multiple Grim favor turn-ins close together. This allows you to save time by completing them simultaneously.

↖ Choose Your Fastest Character

Select a character with high mobility to speed through dungeons. A Sorcerer with teleportation abilities can be an excellent choice for quick runs.

↖ Utilize Alternate Characters

If you have multiple characters, you can speed up the process by farming Grim favors with alternate characters. Switching between characters can help you accumulate Grim favors more efficiently.

↖ Opt for Chaos and Great Bonuses

When turning in Grim favors at the Tree of Whispers, always choose Chaos or Greater bonuses for better rewards, including more gold.

↖ Keep an Eye on Bonus Monsters

Bonus monsters in dungeons can provide additional Grim favors. Look out for these and eliminate them for extra rewards.

↖ Solo vs. Group Play

While solo play offers a baseline efficiency, grouping up can significantly speed up dungeon completions. Coordinate with your team to divide and conquer tasks within dungeons.

↖ Record Your Results

Track your progress and results carefully. During our testing, we accumulated 50 million Diablo 4 gold and four Varshan runs (two Run Durial Mats) in one hour.

Varshan Mats farming at the Tree of Whispers can be surprisingly balanced, despite the fact that living steel farming may appear more rewarding. Experiment with this strategy, and let us know how it works for you in the comments. Your results may vary, particularly if you optimize character swapping for maximum Grim favor farming.
