Diablo 4 Sirocco Caverns Overworld

Easy to complete dungeon with high Elite density. On top of that, group members can split up into two during the second area of the dungeon. However, if party members are not strong enough, it is best to stay together as the Boss spawns on top of you after completing the second objective.

Deserted Underpass

It has a very small map layout with high Mob and Elite density plus easy objectives for speed-farming XP and Obducite as most enemies are clustered together.

Blind Burrows

Similar to Blind Burrows, Sarat's Lair is another dungeon with spiders, allowing you to kill them fast for XP and Obducite. Furthermore, the layout of this dungeon is circular making it easy to hunt down elite packs.

Best Dungeons to Farm

All Nightmare Dungeon Affixes

All Positive Affixes

Affix Effect
Ancestor's Favor You earn 10% more Experience while within the dungeon.
Gold Fing You find 30% more Gold.

These Affixes provide positive effects in your Nightmare Dungeon run, making it more efficient for leveling and gold farming.

All Negative Affixes

Affix Effect
Avenger Killing a monster enrages monsters near it, making them deal more damage.
Volcanic While in combat, gouts of flame periodically erupt near players.
Stormbane's Wrath Stormbane's Wrath chases players around, releasing deadly pulses when reaching a player.
Blood Blister Killing a monster has a chance to spawn a Blood Blister. After a short time, it explodes, dealing heavy area damage.
Monster Barrier Monsters gain 85% of their Maximum Life as a Barrier.
Drifting Shade Drifting Shade chases players. Upon reaching them, it explodes for heavy damage and creates a Nightmare Field that Dazes victims.
Empowered Elites (Shock Lance) Elites always have the "Electric Lance" affix.
Empowered Elites (Poison Enchanted) Elites always have the "Poison Enchanted" affix.
Empowered Elites (Suppressor) Elites always have the "Suppressor" affix.

Nightmare Sigils always come with negative Affixes. The Affixes listed in the table above are all possible negative affix rolls in any sigil, with Volcanic and Stormbane's Wrath being some of the easier ones to deal with.
