Red Dust is a currency you get by purifying Seeds of Hatred exclusively in the PvP zones in Diablo 4 (D4) and can be spent on Mounts, cosmetics, and other rewards. Read on to learn more about Red Dust, including the best methods for farming Red Dust, where to spend it, and a list of items you can buy at the vendors.

How to Farm Red Dust
1. Farm Seeds of Hatred in PvP: Fields of Hatred
Getting your hands on Red Dust is a two-step process. You first need to acquire Seeds of Hatred, which can only be done in two locations (Alzuuda in the Dry Steppes, and Denshar in Kehjistan), as these are the only Fields of Hatred currently available.
Before you get into the groove of farming Seeds for hours and hours before moving on to step two, there are a couple of things to be aware of: you cannot leave the PvP zone with Seeds of Hatred - you will lose all your progress if you teleport outside the Field of Hatred during this step! On top of this, if you die, you drop all of your Seeds whether you were killed by an enemy or another player.
With that out of the way, there are several methods of obtaining Seeds of Hatred with varying degrees of efficiency.
| All Seeds of Hatred Farming Methods |
|---|
Team Up Against the Seething Abomination for Best Results
Just because the Fields of Hatred is a PvP zone doesn't mean you can't put your differences aside to take on a tough boss. This method is meant for several players, as the Seething Abomination's massive health pool means that you'll have to chip away and whittle him down in a group.
Dropping one Seething Abomination will net you upwards of 2,000 Seeds of Hatred, so it's worth ganging up on him as he roams around the Fields of Hatred any chance he appears.
Defeating Enemies is Easy but Slow
The easiest and least profitable method on the list is tried and true trash mob slaying. You won't get rich this way, but you probably won't risk dying either. Treat this as a side gig - if you can work a route into your other Seed-farming routines, it can't hurt to clear out some mobs along the way.
Kill Other Players When You Have a PvP Build
For high rollers only. You either kill, or get killed. Mark yourself for Blood from the emote menu to be able to attack other players. Once you've done this, it becomes a one-versus-all situation where the other players team up to take you down. Consider optimizing your build for PvP with lots of Crowd Control skills before attempting to take on other players.
Complete Events with Other Players
Just like in other areas of the world, there are events in the Fields of Hatred, only these have the added bonus of giving Seeds of Hatred. The viability of farming these depends on if there are other players participating, as they're usually not worth the trouble if you're solo-farming.
2. Purify Seeds of Hatred at Altar of Extraction
Once you're satisfied with the amount of Seeds of Hatred you've managed to gather, it's time to refine them into Red Dust, which can be done at any of the four Altars of Extraction within each Field of Hatred. Interact with an Altar of Extraction to start the purification process, which takes 50 seconds to complete. During this time, you'll have to fight off waves of enemies (and potentially other players looking to steal your Seeds)!
With the purification process complete, you now have your precious Red Dust, which you can spend freely at certain vendors in the PvP towns. There is no max on how much Red Dust you can hold, so save up as much as you want for a big purchase.
Note: Once you start purifying Seeds at any of the Altars of Extraction, all enemy players within the Field of Hatred will be alerted of your location. The notification A player has started a ritual at (location) will appear on their screen in yellow text.

Do You Lose Red Dust if Killed in PvP?
No, Red Dust Is Not Lost on Death During PvP
During the recent April developer live stream, it was also confirmed that Red Dust cannot be lost after being obtained from an Altar. While Seeds of Hatred do drop on death when you are killed during PvP, Red Dust (its purified form) cannot be lost even if another player manages to kill you in a Field of Hatred PvP zone.
