Diablo 4 introduced the Infernal Hordes seasonal mechanic in season 5, and it needed a few tweaks to keep players interested in running them. There are a few changes for the Infernal Hordes in patch 1.5.1, and most of them are positive. The changes aim to help players feel more rewarded by buffing some Infernal Offerings to give more Aether, which, in return, gives more rewards. Here’s how you should farm the Infernal Hordes after the 1.5.1 patch in Diablo 4 season 5. In a way, this mechanic is still coming to the Vessel of Hatred, so it is worth getting used to farming.
Best Way to Farm Infernal Hordes After Patch 1.5.1 in Diablo 4 Season 5
The best way to farm Infernal Hordes is to run tier 8 Infernal Compasses instead of tier 7 or below. While tier 7s are still okay or on par with tier 8s in terms of time vs. reward comparisons, the new patch has the potential to add more Aether per round or wave. This means that the extra round from running a tier 8 compared to tier 7 matters more now.
