Complete Legion and World Boss Events

Living Steel can be acquired as rewards upon completing Legion and World Boss events in World Tier 4. The drop rate for Living Steel is quite high, but the downside is that the events are time-gated.

Elites on Nightmare Dungeon

Elites found inside Ancestral Nightmare Dungeons have a chance to drop Living Steel. Try to clear the entire dungeon of any events that spawns a lot of Elites to make the most out of your runs.

Defeating Treasure Goblins

Killing Treasure Goblins that you encounter throughout the map also has a chance to drop Living Steel. However, due to the rarity of these Treasure Goblins, this method is not the most efficient way to farm for boss materials.

Season Journey Reward Caches

You can also receive a variety of boss summoning materials by opening the Cache Rewards from completing the Season Journey. This will give you a ton of materials, so make sure not to skip this, as it can help you obtain the necessary uniques you need to progress your character as you prepare for the endgame.
