Burning Aether for material Spoils
Spending Horde Aether on material Spoils converts a run into Obducite and gem fragments.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Burning Aether for material Spoils
Aether Events during Infernal Horde waves, followed by the final Spoils chest.
Before you go
- An Infernal Compass and Horde access.
- A build that can clear timed waves at the selected difficulty.
- A current need for Obducite or gem fragments.
Farming steps
- Use a Compass to enter an Infernal Horde.
- Read the offers and choose manageable effects that support Aether collection.
- Move to active Aether Events and defeat enemies or complete their encounter mechanics.
- Collect Burning Aether before each wave ends, then continue through the next wave.
- Defeat the final encounter and inspect the chest’s current Spoils options.
- Select Spoils of Materials if offered and its displayed rewards match your need; collect them.
- Prioritize events your build can finish efficiently instead of chasing every threat.
- Offers persist into later waves, so favor a combination you can survive.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat with another Compass while material Spoils remain useful. Aether is collected and spent within each run; it does not carry over as a stockpile.
Common mistakes
- Spending Aether on equipment when materials were the goal: decide before choosing the final reward.
- Ignoring the wave timer: collect what you can safely reach before time expires.
- Choosing offers that overwhelm your defenses: use modifiers suited to your damage and survival.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the material payout covers your next crafting goal or another Spoils option is more useful; use Nightmare Dungeons or Undercity Tributes for alternative Obducite runs.
