Diablo 4: After patch 2.0.5, anomalous embers are raining down in the endgame and fans are confused

0
20

A resource that is actually rare is currently dropping much more frequently than usual in Diablo 4. It is not yet clear whether this is intentional.

While Christmas is still a month away for us, in Diablo 4 the season of giving has already arrived. And not just because of the Midwinter Plague event, which lets you pick up a one-time reward from a statue in Kyovashad.

Because the latest patch 2.0.5has also ensured that you are showered with valuable resources during infernal floods. But it is questionable whether this will last for long.

Gluten-filled tides

Specifically, this is about the Anomalous Glut that you can collect during an infernal flood. This currency is dropped by defeated enemies and allows you to open special chests called Tormented Gifts These in turn contain legendary and unique items of equipment and weapons.

The rate at which these embers appear has apparently been drastically increased with the last patch Players can currently find many times the normal amount of anomalous embers. Diablo streamer Rob impressively demonstrates this in his video:

The patch also marked the start of the Christmas event, which hands out buffs and presents, but Rob and many other players are convinced that the enormous amount of ember is caused by a bug So it’s quite possible that Blizzard will normalize the ember yield via hotfix.

This is also supported by the fact that the change is not mentioned in the patch notes (which you can find on page two of the article).

Until then, many players are wondering and enjoying the additional ember in the Hellfloods, even though it is not infinitely useful. This is because the Tormented Gifts, which are used for the embers, only appear in limited numbers, which is why you can only spend a maximum of about 1,500 embers per flood.

On Reddit, a player named JfluxLy shares a useful trick that can still be used with the embers. This makes it possible to switch to another character of the same level during the Hellflood and open all chests with them. This makes it easy to collect lots of equipment for all characters.

Incidentally, if you want to strengthen a particular character, Blizzard is officially offering you a great opportunity right now:

As part of the current event, you can level one of your heroes on the eternal realm directly to level 50 and receive legendary equipment, as well as lots of gold and crafting materials. All you have to do is talk to the Fated Reliquary in Kyovashad’s tavern.
