Diablo 4 players are increasingly frustrated as Exquisite Blood becomes harder to get in season 5, which is necessary for summoning Lord Zir. According to the community, there has been a noticeable decrease in drop rates for Exquisite Blood, although no official changes have been confirmed by Blizzard.
In light of these reports, gamers have started sharing new ways they’ve found for farming Exquisite Blood efficiently so that people who are having trouble gathering enough can finally get some relief.
Exquisite Blood is mainly obtained by killing the Blood Maiden in Helltides and has always been one of the core elements in Diablo 4’s gameplay loop. However, players are complaining that this traditional way is not giving as much reward as before and, therefore, finding other means to achieve it.
One such alternative gaining popularity is completing the Season Journey, where reputation rewards include potential drops like Exquisite Blood might be found. Although it is a workaround, this process also has its cons since you have to create alt characters and replay content over again, which may take a lot of time and become monotonous.
Diablo 4 players turn to new farming tactics amid Helltide challenges
With Exquisite Blood becoming rare, players have started going back to Helltides despite the difficulties that are associated with farming using this method. The Helltide Elites should be focused on while spamming chests during the event, according to posts on Reddit, as they can still give out required resources consistently. However, there are some issues with this plan; it might not work well for single players who may find themselves constantly farming Blood Maiden, which is expensive in terms of both time and materials.
Apart from Helltides, gamers have revealed different ways that are probably helpful in getting Exquisite Blood. Participating in Legion and World Boss events, especially in World Tier 4, has emerged as a productive method of gathering the material. Another recommended strategy is defeating Elites in Nightmare Dungeons, whereby some players have achieved this at higher levels of difficulty. The Whispers of the Dead quest still stands as an option, too, that gives another road into Exquisite Blood for those who want it.
Still, despite these tactics, the lack of Exquisite Blood in season 5 remains a touchy subject within the Diablo 4 community. Players are still left to try out different things by attempting different methods that they think could work best for farming this important resource while getting ready to summon Lord Zir.
