Farm Uber Bosses

Uber Bosses are one of the best methods of farming Legendaries. Not only do you get a high chance to a guaranteed Unique Drop depending on which boss you kill, you also get a lot of Legendaries per run which makes it a very time-efficient farming method.

Clear Helltide Events and Open Tortured Gifts

Available only starting in World Tier 3 (Nightmare), Helltide Events will pop up all over Sanctuary. Areas affected by the Helltide appear red on the map, and plenty of tough monsters roam about. Defeat these monsters to earn Aberrant Cinders, allowing you to open Tortured Gifts containing rare items, including Sacred Legendaries.

Farming Dungeons

Run Quick Dungeons with High Elite Spawns

While Legendary items only have a certain chance to drop, farming Elite monsters is a consistent way of obtaining them. Dungeons with Bosses at the end also increase the chance of Legendary drops.

Best Dungeons to Farm

Party Instant Reset: Have the Lead Player Leave the Party

If you are playing with a party, you can quickly reset a Dungeon by having the leader leave the party and rejoin. This should boot the leader off the Dungeon, and allow them to enter a new instance. The rest can simply join the leader and run the Dungeon again.

Solo Reset: Log Out to Character Select

If you are playing solo and you fully cleared a Dungeon, you will need to wait 60 seconds for the Dungeon to reset. During this downtime, you can sell or salvage items at the Blacksmith or stash important gear.

To get around this, you can simply log out to the character select screen and hop right back in. This will reset the dungeon faster than waiting the full reset time.

World Event Farming

Teleport In and Out of Radiance Field Cemetery

From our testing, Radiance Field Cemetery, located just south of Kyovashad, is by far the best World Events location for both farming Obols and collecting Item drops, including Legendaries.

The trick is to complete an event, teleport to another location, then step back into the portal to return to this area. This has a high chance of resetting the area with a new World Event, allowing you to chain together repeated instances.

The advantage of this method is that it allows you to farm both Obols and Legendaries simultaneously. The Obols can be gambled at the Purveyor of Curiosities for more Legendaries as explained below.

Gambling with the Purveyor of Curiosities

Another way of farming legendary items is by gambling with the Purveyor of Curiosities. She sells mystery items that can be purchased by using Murmuring Obols. Legendary Items are not guaranteed, so it may take you a while to get one by using this method, but the advantage is that you can target specific types of Legendary Aspects, unlike other methods which don't allow any targeting of a particular Aspect.

Targeting Legendary Aspects

Because each Equipment slot is associated with certain Aspect types, you can increase the chances of obtaining a specific Aspect that you want by purchasing certain equipment types. The list below shows the Equipment types which cost the least and have the smallest possible number of matched Aspects.

Best Dungeons for Farming Legendary Items

Dungeons with High Elite Spawns

Below are some Dungeons with plenty of Elites and are fairly quick to complete. Because the number of Elites here are higher than average, these Dungeons are also good for farming EXP, allowing you to hit two birds with one stone.

Dungeons with High Elite Spawns
Aldurwood	・Good for parties. ・Only one quick objective before the Dungeon Boss. ・Dungeon Boss can be quickly taken down by a party.
Maulwood	・Good for parties. ・Skeletal Constructs spawn an Elite when about to be destroyed. ・Party members can split up to clear objectives individually.
Dark Ravine	・Good for solo players. ・Dungeon has a simple layout and Elites are easy to find. ・Dungeon Boss has attacks that are easily avoided.
Sirocco Caverns	・Good for solo players. ・Also has a simple layout, with easy to find objectives. ・Silken Spires spawn a Matriarch Elite.
