Target Farming Uniques in Season 8

Season 8 of Diablo 4 introduces one of the most requested features: target-farmable Unique items. With the Boss Ladder system and Reliquary, players can now grind specific endgame bosses to chase class-defining Uniques.

This guide covers:

  • Every summonable boss in Season 8

  • Their associated drop pools

  • Required materials

  • Best methods to farm them efficiently

How Boss Drops Work in Season 8

  • Each major boss has a targeted drop pool that includes class-specific Uniques.

  • Torment difficulty (World Tier IV) is required to summon or encounter these bosses.

  • You must collect specific summon materials through endgame content like Whispers, Helltides, and Nightmare Dungeons.

Summon Material Farming Tips

Living Steel (for Grigoire):

  • Farm during active Helltides on Torment.

  • Target Tortured Offering chests in high-aggro areas like Dismal Foothills or Hawezar.

  • Best done in groups for speed and coverage.

Exquisite Blood (for Lord Zir):

  • Complete Whispers and Grim Favors to get caches that contain Blood.

  • Nightmarish dungeons and Tree turn-ins are top sources.

Vessel of Hatred (for Urivar):

  • Rare drop from Whispers, world events, or seasonal activities.

  • Look for Whisper dungeons with bonus boss drops.

Seasonal Systems That Help

Reliquary (Season 8 Feature):

  • Lets you track progress on boss kills.

  • May offer seasonal modifiers that increase boss drop rates.

Tree of Whispers Bonus Caches:

  • Some caches in Season 8 reportedly drop multiple summon materials at once.

  • Prioritize dungeons that grant 2+ Grim Favors per run.

Community Resources & Drop Trackers

Want to track drops or theorycraft builds? Try these:

Efficient Farming Route (Solo or Group)

  1. Farm Helltides for Living Steel → fight Grigoire.

  2. Run Whisper dungeons for Exquisite Blood and Vessels of Hatred.

  3. Turn in 10 Grim Favors → farm Varshan or get extra mats.

  4. Repeat or rotate through bosses depending on the Unique you’re targeting.

Pro Tip: Group up with friends and split-farm different summon materials to trade boss summons.

Final Thoughts

Farming Uniques in Diablo 4 Season 8 is finally rewarding and focused. With each boss having its own loot pool, you can now chase the builds you want, not just random drops.

Whether you're hunting Sanquivor for your Necro or the Ichorous Rose for a trap Rogue, smart farming will save you hours.
