Before you go
- Access to Helltides and an active event.
- A character that can defeat enemies in the chosen difficulty.
- A gear slot or material reward to prioritize.
Farming steps
- Open the world map and travel to the active Helltide.
- Kill demons and complete nearby events to collect Aberrant Cinders.
- Check the map for Tortured Gifts and inspect their current costs and rewards.
- Choose a gift that matches your gear slot or material need.
- Clear nearby threats if they make it unsafe to interact with the chest.
- Collect the chest reward and spend any remaining Cinders before leaving the event.
- Local events can add Cinders while advancing the same route; take them when practical.
- Check your currency and nearby chest options periodically so you have time to spend what you collect.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat during later active Helltides. Cinders are for the current event and do not form a lasting stockpile, so spend them before leaving or the event ending.
Common mistakes
- Saving Cinders for a later event: spend them during the Helltide where you collected them.
- Opening a gift without checking its reward: compare the displayed slot or material with your current goal.
- Carrying a large reserve into a dangerous fight: visit a suitable chest before taking unnecessary risks.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the Helltide ends or the available gifts no longer match your needs; switch activities if you have spent your Cinders or want a different reward.
