How We Rank Nightmare Dungeons
As mentioned above, this list ranks Diablo 4’s Nightmare Dungeons based on how efficient they are for farming Obducite and loot. Factors considered include:
- Dungeon layout and size
- Mob density
- Overall reward potential
Dungeons that offer fast completion times with high rewards are rated higher. Conversely, dungeons with convoluted layouts, time-consuming objectives, or other annoyances are rated lower.
Why Run Nightmare Dungeons?
Nightmare Dungeons are a much better option for Obducitee farming compared to Infernal Hordes, offering more materials for the time spent. Plus, running different dungeons adds variety and gives you the chance to find better loot as you progress.
If your goal is purely to farm experience or glyph XP, though, The Pit is the way to go.
