Diablo III FARMING GUIDESKnow what to farm.
Know what to farm.
And where to go.
Diablo III farming divides among Adventure Mode Bounties, Nephalem Rifts and Greater Rifts. Bounties supply Act-specific Cube materials and cache-exclusive items; Nephalem Rifts yield gear and keystones; Greater Rifts level Legendary Gems and Paragon. Kanai’s Cube, Kadala and the seasonal journey turn those rewards into targeted build progress.
