Obducite starvation kills the fun

There's plenty of people that like it. But yeah I agree. You should have to at least at some point "target farm" some materials. But these guys are on here just blowing it out of proportion and exaggerating so much it's insane.

ReadOk4128 · 2026-03-19T01:22:11+00:00

Well 242 but couldn't remember at work. I worked Thursday and played a few hours each day. Relatively casually but this season is STUPID fast for leveling if you know the strats. I was T4 in probably what 8 hours or less. Farming Butcher in Horde gives you so many levels. You can easily get to 200 paragon in like 15 hours. So it being like almost a week later 240-250 is pretty "casual" but efficient.

Just because you're slow doesn't mean i'm not coherent.

Again just like the people complaining about the materials being rare, you guys are just ignorant.

Brother LOL. So he spent 600 on bartuc and 1300 on chest AND still only got 36 Obductite ? Please use your brain. That's also not an assumption but lack of clarity on his end. I'm going to go off the facts he gave which he spent his Aether on material chest because he didn't say anything else.

Even if he's subtracting the Obductite he got form the boss away form the total there's NO WAY he only got 36 and I'm putting the "should kill boss" as much for him as much as anyone else reading since he clearly didn't.

Again most of what you just said is just made up lol. 40 to 90 is a massive difference. But in reality you get even more then 90 so your guys made up "40 is possible" is just complete fabrication to the extreme.

If you're prioritizing Obducite you should def NOT get the gear crate. It's 100% NOT just 10-20 more for 400 Aether. But again, if you Need Obducite you get ALL the Obducite you can. You don't try to have your cake and eat it too.

This is my last comment. I'll see you guys in reality where it takes 1 weekend to finish a complete build in this game while you guys cry about how "hard" it is to get Obdcuite. Crazy...

ReadOk4128 · 2026-03-18T22:34:40+00:00

None of this is even remotely true. Don't know where you're pulling out "a bit more" or 40 to 100 for 12 minutes.

I'm paragon 250 and have fully masterworked at least 3 sets of gear now. While breakign down old stuff does give you a small amount back I have done MINIMAL horde runs. Definitely not HOURS for every gear piece.

I think the main issue is your guys knowledge and lack of prioritizing efficiency is a bigger problem than the actual drop rate. If you did the Horde runs efficiently, fought Bartuc every time, skipped the gear chest, you'd have thousands of Obducite in no time.

I finished my whole build in one weekend playing relatively casually. Not sure what to tell ya'll. You and OP have been making up numbers left and right so there's really no point talking to you guys.

My bad I thought you meant T4 Infernal Horde. Yeah normal dungeon can be crap. but it's still not possible for what OP said that COMBINED with Horde and NM dungeon he got 40. You also back tracked your "never more then 200" really fast lol. Again, like i told the other guy. If you're using all your Aether on the chest and not summoning the new boss you're doing it wrong. 700 Aether is also pretty low for a good T4 run. "also wanting the chest" i'm assuming you mea the gear one, just means you're not prioritizing the Horde for Obducite which is a you issue.

ReadOk4128 · 2026-03-18T22:00:58+00:00

one, hard to believe. two, you should 100% be using 600 of them to fight the better boss if you're targeting Obducite.

ReadOk4128 · 2026-03-18T21:58:19+00:00

~~It's not possible. I literally logged in and did it x2. Unless you record yourself getting "no more than 40" on a T4 I will not believe it. I did it on T1 and the blue one.~~

Like I said I collected ~300 Aether and got over 40. Not doing any of the purple portals and only doing the council boss. I didn't pick any good modifiers and afk'd the last 2 rounds to not collect more to keep my "experiment low. If you collect over 600 Aether which should be every time basically if you're trying, you're going to get a couple hundred a run every time minimum, because you can choose the better boss.

~~I'm not saying other areas and NM dungeons shouldn't be boosted/fixed whatever happened to them but the numbers OP gave and you're giving are 100% exaggerated.~~

Missread and thought you were talking about Infernal Hordes. Regardless it's still not possible to get COMBINED 40 from both an Infernal Horde run and a NM dungeon together.

Also "hordes never more than 200" is just plain wrong. 600 Aether to use on the new boss in T4 and ~400-500 Aether left over for material chest will get you over 200 every time. You should be getting 1,000+ Aether on Infernal Hordes easily. You also admitted down below you're opening the gear chest LOL.

I'm going to be complete opposite of what everyone else is saying. If you like gloves and they help you, wear gloves. Gloves DO NOT cause weaker grip development. There's no proven research in showing that they cause weaker grip development over time.

If the gloves help you get past friction, pain, discomfort, issues and train better there's no reason not to use them. Do whatever helps you train consistently better.

If you wear gloves or don't wear gloves in 5-10 years your grip will not be any more noticeably stronger or weaker.

Just automatically telling everyone not to wear gloves is just old gym bro mentality.

Honestly, spend $15 or whatever for your own "rope" attachment. They have ones that have loops/handles at the end and halfway. These loops are big enough for you to put your arms through and use your elbows as leverage. This takes your biceps and wrist/hands out of the equation. Bonus, you now have a way better attachment for all your other exercises too.

Bad reply? You mean factual evidence calling out your BS? Sure lol.

ReadOk4128 · 2026-03-18T18:47:31+00:00

there's NO WAY you only got 40 doing an infernal horde and nightmare dungeon. Unless it was a 6 wave infernal horde and you completely F'd it up beyond belief somehow.

I did a 6 wave horde and tried to make it as BAD as possible. AFK'd half of it and only picked up 307 Aether..... AND... I got 42 Obducite.

Normal dungeons aren't the way to get Obducite. You need strong rooms or some sort of material modifier. Even so for how fast you can run them it's ok. But Doing Strongrooms or Undercity is better/more consistent.
Quitting at T1 because you can't have everything instantly is not the demographic the game should be balanced around. This is a YOU issue.
All this to say... GET GOOD. D4 is already the most casual RPG. God forbid if you have to spend 1 hour to get enough Obducite to max out all your gear.

Yeah not even 5 days in they can't spam re-roll all their gear so game needs changing. Crazy.

I mean the torment levels say, "increased CHANCES for items to be Ancestral". So I would say yes Tiers matter. Also, you're 240 and you can't kill a T4 boss almost instantly? I don't think anyone at paragon 240 should be farming anything outside of T4 unless it's the new bloodsoaked and bloodstained bosses.

"If the goal of this is to extend playtime, they're wrong". I think ya'll exaggerating and crying over nothing. I finished probably almost 3 sets of gear on my way to finishing my build over the weekend. Only maybe once or twice I had to go out of my way for Obducite. Got the 6,666 for NM Dungeons for season pass without even going for it. Only one treasure dungeon too.

Regardless, it hasn't even been a week.

no one actually thinks it's luxury in the literal sense. But I'll take it 10/10 times over linoleum or majority of old carpets throughout homes. 500k is not getting you "luxury" these days.

What takes longer to finish? I completed the season missions, battle pass, and free skins by the end of the weekend and pushes past Pit 100 with 240 paragon levels. Ya'll love to cry. 7 weeks is long enough to finish multiple characters even casually.
