Experience and difficulty progression
Baal throne waves and experience
Baal’s throne waves provide repeatable experience and a broad endgame route that also includes Baal’s drops.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Baal throne waves and experience
Throne of Destruction and Worldstone Chamber in Act V, reached through Worldstone Keep.
Before you go
- Complete the Ancients quest in the chosen difficulty to access Baal.
- Have the damage, resistances, and crowd control to manage throne waves.
- Bring healing and mana supplies appropriate to your build.
Farming steps
- Travel through Worldstone Keep to the Throne of Destruction.
- Clear dangerous packs on the way rather than letting them follow into the throne room.
- Defeat each of Baal’s summoned waves before advancing.
- Enter the Worldstone Chamber and kill Baal.
- Collect gear and materials that fit your goals, then return to town.
- Reset and repeat for experience or broad endgame loot.
- Check whether the Throne or surrounding route is Terrorized and compare the added danger with your clear speed.
- A party can change experience and difficulty; use a group only if it improves your practical run.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat freely after access is unlocked; experience and drops depend on kills and are not guaranteed item rewards.
Common mistakes
- Rushing into the throne with dangerous packs behind you; clear or control the approach first.
- Treating a Terrorized run as automatically better; switch if added monster strength causes deaths or delays.
- Leaving after the waves without killing Baal when his drops are part of your goal.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you reach your level target or when a faster active Terror Zone or safer area gives better progress for your character.
