Diablo 4 players reveal best Exquisite Blood farm in Season 5

Exquisite Blood is an important material in Diablo 4 that players need to summon Lord Zir, but it can be rare to come by, especially if you don’t know where to look. Thankfully, some players have shared their best tricks for farming it.

Killing the Blood Maiden in Helltides has generally been considered the best way to farm Exquisite Blood. However, some players have found the Reputation reward you get from the Season Journey is a better way of farming the material that summons Lord Zir.

If you feel like Exquisite Blood has been dropping slower than previous seasons, you’re not alone. Even though Blizzard hasn’t confirmed a change, many players have reported that the material is not dropping as often as other boss materials.

If you’re struggling with the slow drop rate, players have highlighted Helltides as the best way to farm Exquisite Blood.

“Helltides really is your best bet. Just spam chests and target farm the random Helltide Elites, they seem to have a solid chance to drop boss mats. Build a good base of Maiden mats, join a group and everyone uses 1. That’s really the best way to get Blood,” ‘JoyousFox’ explained on Reddit.

However, farming Helltides becomes problematic for solo players because it can get expensive to continuously farm Blood Maiden for what you need. Luckily, there are some other ways to get Blood:

• Finish the Season Journey
• Complete Legion and World Boss events in World Tier 4
• Defeat Elites in Nightmare Dungeons 
• The Whispers of the Dead quest

Completing the Season Journey is the second best way players have been farming Exquisite Blood, as making alt characters and completing the Journey again can get you the materials you need for Lord Zir. 

This can get a bit repetitive, however, and it’s not guaranteed that you’ll get Blood as the Season Journey rewards give you materials for multiple bosses. Either way, there are a few methods to try, so make sure to give them a go if you can’t run Helltides.
