WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Hellforge in Act IV, reached through the River of Flame during the quest that requires Mephisto’s Soulstone.

Complete the Hellforge quest in each difficulty where it remains available to claim its rune and gem rewards. This is a one-time character progression payout per difficulty, not a repeatable farming loop, so collect it as part of advancing the campaign and store the materials for runewords or crafting.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Reach Act IV in the difficulty you want to complete.
  • Have Mephisto’s Soulstone from campaign progression.
  • Be able to survive the River of Flame and Hellforge area in that difficulty.
  1. Advance the Act IV quest until you have the Soulstone and access to the Hellforge.
  2. Travel through the River of Flame to the Hellforge.
  3. Clear nearby monsters so you can complete the quest safely.
  4. Place the Soulstone on the forge and strike it with the Hellforge Hammer.
  5. Collect the rune and gems that appear on the ground.
  6. Return to town and store the rune by its intended runeword or upgrade use.

Farming tips

  • Complete the quest in each difficulty during campaign progression; the reward is not a repeatable boss drop.
  • Make room before striking the forge so runes and gems are easy to collect.

Repeat, collect and use

One completion per character per difficulty; the reward is limited and cannot be reset by making another game.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving the Soulstone or hammer behind; verify both quest items before heading to the forge.
  • Assuming the reward can be farmed repeatedly; use it as a one-time supply for each difficulty.
  • Fighting the forge area without clearing threats; secure the area before completing the interaction.

When to stop or switch

Stop once the quest reward is collected; switch to repeatable area or boss routes for additional runes and gems.
