This is a guide to getting the most Greater Affixes and the most efficent way to get the best gear with Greater Affixes in Diablo 4 (D4). Read on to know about the methods on getting the best items in the game!

How to Farm Greater Affixes

Defeat Blood Maidens

The best method for obtaining legendary gear is by defeating Blood Maidens. To fight a Blood Maiden, you could either use 3 Baneful Hearts to summon her or participate with other players who are already battling her. Note that hearts can be offered cumulatively by different players, but whoever offers most will receive better loot.

We recommend hunting with a group or participate in Blood Maiden hunts during Helltides to get multiple Legendaries and a chance for gear with Greater Affixes!

How to Beat Blood Maiden

Head to Tier 46 or Higher Nightmare Dungeons

Tier 46 or higher Nightmare Dungeons have level 100+ enemies, which makes the gear you obtain from said dungeons be locked to items with 925 item power! Run through these dungeons and clear them fast for more chances of perfect gear with Greater Affixes!

Defeat Uber Bosses

Uber Bosses have their own loot tables, and they themselves drop gear with Greater Affixes, inlcuding Uniques. Make sure to hunt Uber Bosses as often as you can for a chance to net the best Uniques for your build!

Tips When Farming Greater Affixes

Fight Against Level 100 Enemies

While not really a prerequisite, we highly recommend only fighting enemies that are above level 100 when farming Greater Affixes. This is due to the nature of the Greater Affixes themselves, as they only enhance the affix of the gear they're attached to by 1.5x.

What this means is that if you obtain a Greater Affix with low Item Power, you still won't get the best amount of stats for that specific gear or affix. Defeating Level 100+ enemies will guarantee 925 Item Power drops, which has the best affixes you'll ever find.

Gear Have 1 Icon Per Greater Affix

You can see whether a gear has two or more Greater Affixes even without picking it up just by looking at the number of circles beside its name. Keep this in mind when farming for max-rolled gears with three Greater Affix.
