Blessing Effect
Diablo 4 - Urn of Rot Urn of Rot Boost the amount of Restless Rot dropped by slain Headrotten.

Season 7 features three new Season Blessings for Witchcraft, yet the most important blessing would be the Urn of Rot as it can directly boost the quanitity of Restless Rot by up to 40% dropped.

Make sure you have enough Smoldering Ashes since you will be needing this to acquire the Blessing.
