How to Farm Horadric Knowledge






Clear Waves in Infernal Hordes

Infernal Hordes are the most efficient way to farm Horadric Knowledge. Use an Infernal Compass to enter the Infernal dungeon and gain Horadric Knowledge as rewards from clearing waves of enemies.

Farm Nightmare Dungeons

In addition to providing a substantial amount of experience points, Nightmare Dungeons has the potential to offer your character the legendary aspect they seek. This activity is likely to be the most frequently performed activtity during this season.

Kurast Undercity Runs

Kurast Undercity Runs

Kurast will be the third most effective location for acquiring Horadric Knowledge. Kurast is an excellent opportunity to acquire additional Horadric Knowledge, particularly for those seeking to farm specific pieces of gear.

The Pit Runs

The Pit Runs

Access The Pit once you reach Level 60. Defeating enemies in each run can reward you with Horadric Knowledge, along with the chance to unlock higher Torment difficulties when clearing higher tiers.

Helltide Runs

Helltide

Lastly, Helltide will be another activity to net a good amount of Horadric Knowledge. Among the five options, Helltide offers the least, but its repeatable nature and ease of doing multiple Helltide Runs in quick succession still make it a good activity for farming, while also being a good source of loot and XP.

Craft Horadric Knowledge Using Phials

Craft Horadric Knowledge

Horadric Knowledge can be crafted at the Horadric Lapidary in Cerrigar once you’ve reached Reputation Rank 15 and have Horadric Phials to spare. This method comes at a steep cost, averaging 1 Horadric Knowledge for every 10 Horadric Phials spent. While not an efficient use of Phials for most players, it may be worth considering for those who are deep into the endgame and looking to complete their Horadric Knowledge Reputation.

Horadric Knowledge Crafting Recipes

Crafted Item Effect Cost
Horadric Knowledge Scroll Horadric Knowledge Immediately awards 50 Horadric Knowledge 500 Horadric Phials
Horadric Knowledge Scroll Moderate Horadric Knowledge Immediately awards 100 Horadric Knowledge 1000 Horadric Phials
Horadric Knowledge Scroll Substantial Horadric Knowledge Immediately awards 200 Horadric Knowledge 2000 Horadric Phials
