Once again, we have two big Diablo 4 events running at the same time, and players have started to notice something interesting in Infernal Horde runs. The seasonal grind is currently getting a bit more attention again after players realized that Infernal Compasses are far more valuable during the current Compass to Carnage event than at any other point this season.
In short, you can reach high Aether numbers more reliably than ever, which makes this the perfect window to spend your hoarded 6-wave compasses before the season ends.
Something Strange Is Happening in Chaos Runs
During the event, Chaos Waves appear much more often. It is much more common to see four or even five Chaos Waves in a normal ten-wave run. Even the shorter 6-wave version nearly always includes two waves, which is just enough to push most groups to the familiar 666 Aether threshold used for Chaos Armor farming.
Players also report runs with over 2600 Aether, especially when goblins spawn, which is far above the usual pace. This makes it “easier” than ever to finish full armor sets in a single evening, thanks to the increased drops and more consistent wave patterns.
This lines up nicely with the farming events Blizzard brought back recently.
Most Players Agree: This Is the Best Time to Farm
The mood during these events is very positive. Even players who saved up hundreds of compasses finally feel like they have a reason to use them. Sure, using all of them before the season ends would take days of non-stop farming, but most agree that this is the strongest moment to push for Greater Affixes or missing Chaos Armor pieces.
Chaos Armor should not be salvaged or sold right now unless you are already set for the season. Instead, use the event to complete builds or prepare for alts. Perhaps there is a class you would like to test ahead of Season 11, to have an easier time deciding on what to play then?
In any case, with Compass to Carnage running until December 2, this is the best chance to get value out of your compasses before Season 10 comes to an end.
