Dark Ravine (Dry Steppes)

Southwest of Zarbinzet

Earthen Wound is close to Zarbinzet, and a fairly linear Dungeon. The Corpse Gates can be found along the way deeper into the Dungeon, and the Animus Carriers are conveniently spawned in a relatively small area. The Dungeon's Boss is a simple fight and can be defeated easily.

How to Farm Dungeons

Nightmare Dungeons Are Best for Farming

Whether you are farming EXP, Gold, or even Uber Uniques, your best bet is to farm Nightmare Dungeons.

Clearing Nightmare Dungeons has a +50% increased chance to drop a second Legendary Item. Elite mobs inside Nightmare Dungeons also have a +10% increased chance to drop Sacred and Ancestral Items, on top of having a +30% chance to drop an extra equipment item, making them worth seeking out!

EXP Multipliers for Level Differences

Below is a table of the EXP multipliers according to the level difference between the player and enemy.

The 10 level offset in World Tier IV and 6 level offset in World Tier III will not allow you to get the full EXP from monsters, but you will still get an EXP boost because of the level difference. For example, fighting a level 100 monster at level 1 in World Tier IV will give you the base EXP of a level 10 monster, plus a 15% EXP boost.

Instant Reset for Nightmare Dungeons

Doing this instant reset trick will spawn all enemies again and refresh your revive count. You can continue this loop until you run out of revives, finish the Dungeon, or disconnect.

This trick is incredibly useful to maximize the Magic Find and Gold Find affixes, on top of gaining EXP.

Nightmare Dungeon Guide

Reset Dungeons Button Enabled

The Reset Dungeons button was initially only available during Diablo 4's Open Beta, but it has been added back in Version 1.1 for the launch of Season 1.

Quick Reset for Normal Dungeons

Regular Dungeons can also be reset, depending if you are in a party or not. When solo, you will need to wait for a few seconds, depending on Dungeon completion. Otherwise when you are in a party, you can have the leader leave the party and join again.
