Why Forgotten Souls Matter in Diablo 4 Season 10

In the heat of Season 10, masterworking isn't just a nice-to-have; it's your ticket to turning good gear into god-tier setups. Forgotten Souls are the rarest ingredient here, often bottlenecking your progress when you're itching to push higher tiers or melt bosses faster.

The good news? With the right strategies, you can stockpile hundreds per hour without burning out. We're talking low-effort methods that fit any playstyle, from solo speedruns to group grinds. Let's break it down step by step, prioritizing the biggest hauls first.

Priority 1: Legion Events

Nothing beats a Legion Event for sheer efficiency. These world events pop up sporadically but deliver a whopping 200–300 Forgotten Souls per completion—enough to masterwork a key piece of gear in one go.

Spot the marker on your map, zone in, and you're golden. The beauty? It's mostly passive. Even on Torment 4 in the open shared world, you can park your character, grab a snack, and let the event tick along to victory. No intense button-mashing required.

Pro tip: Keep an eye on the world map every 15–30 minutes. When one spawns, drop everything and join. It's the fastest path to souls without breaking a sweat, and the shared progress means you benefit from other players' efforts too.

Priority 2: Whispers of the Dead

Right now, the Whispers system is on fire thanks to the ongoing Gift of the Tree event, which doubles your cache rewards. This turns a standard Whisper Cache into a soul-explosion machine: open one, snag 30–40 Forgotten Souls, then crack the nested "gift" cache inside for another 30. Boom—60+ from a single hand-in.

To max this out:

• Boss Whispers: Log in, check your Whispers menu, and prioritize bosses like Andariel. A solid Tier 4 build can blitz them in under a minute. Skip summoning the full boss if you're short on materials—just complete the objective for the cache.

• PVP Zones: These are lightning-fast, especially in Helltides. Melt the roaming boss, grab the 7–8 souls en route, and turn in for another cache burst.

• Multi-Character Magic: Here's the MMOJUGG twist—we love efficiency hacks. Whispers are account-wide, so hop characters to stack completions. Kill Andariel on your main Spiritborn? Switch to your Sorcerer alt, repeat the same Whisper, and double-dip the rewards. Do this across 3–5 toons, and you're swimming in caches. Plus, those caches often spit out amulets, rings, or even mythics like Tribute of Ascendancy—talk about a bonus loot piñata.

With the event running (about a week long), this is your prime window. Ignore junk loot on the ground to save inventory space; focus on turning in for that sweet 30-soul top-off from the doubled gifts.

Priority 3: Horadric Material Reserve Nightmare Dungeons

Don't sleep on this blue sigil Nightmare Dungeon key—it's a sleeper hit for 150–200 Forgotten Souls per run. Inside, eagle-eye for the Resplendent Chests scattered like buried treasure. Each one drops exactly 14 Forgotten Souls, plus chunks of Rawhide, Veiled Crystals, and even Optic Side runes if you're lucky.

There are 10–13 of these chests per dungeon, but they're disguised as regular chests, so scan every nook (they glow legendary on the minimap).

Run it solo for a quick 10–15 minutes, or squad up with friends who also have the key. Join their instance, complete yours, then swap—boom, 600–800 souls in a group session. It's especially juicy if the dungeon aligns with a Whisper for that +5 bonus.

Craft these keys often; they're common and worth the investment over flashier options. Compare to rarer picks like Treasure Goblin Breaches (130 souls per green goblin, but spawn-dependent), and the Reserve wins for reliability.

Priority 4: Helltides and Boss Hunts

For filler farming, Helltides shine with 7 Forgotten Souls per chest—prioritize orange ones for bigger payouts. If you're rocking a Lightning Spear Sorc meta build, this is paradise; otherwise, it's solid side hustle.

Boss kills net 8 souls each, and with materials stocked, you can chain them effortlessly. Skip Infernal Hordes—they're time sinks. Instead, weave in quick bosses like the Maiden of Anguish for 8 souls plus Aberrant Cinders to fuel more chests.

Priority 5: Mercenary Den Exploits

If you've got the expansion, the Mercenary Den in Hawezar is a passive soul farm disguised as a vendor run. Set your world to Torment 4, then buy Salvage Material Caches from Raheir or another merc. Each cache yields 24 Forgotten Souls, alongside 1.5k Masterworking materials, boss summoning mats, and utility drops like amulets (always inspect those for upgrades).

Claim unused Mercenary Materials from your board first—they're free rolls. Reroll vendor stock with gold if necessary, but prioritise Salvage over Augments. It's account-bound loot, so no trading worries, and the nested caches inside keep the rewards rolling. Stack this with Whispers for hybrid efficiency.

Double-Dipping and Inventory Smarts

• Chaos Rifts Synergy: Stash 20+ keys and pair them with Whispers for Infernal Compasses, Mythic Rift chances, and Chaos Armor drops. Do 'em on alts for multiplied gains.

• Salvage Smart: Junk everything for Veiled Crystals to craft more keys. Keep Horadric Reserves and Chaos sigils; trash the rest.

• Group Power: Party with folks running Reserves or Rifts—share worlds, ping chests, and split the haul.

Stack these, and 2,000 souls per hour is a realistic goal. RNG can be fickle, but persistence (and a prayer to the loot gods) pays off.

FAQs on Forgotten Soul Farming in Diablo 4 Season 10

1. How long does the Gift of the Tree event last for Whispers?

It's typically a one-week affair in Season 10, so grind hard while caches are doubled. Check in-game announcements for exact end dates.

2. Can I farm Forgotten Souls on lower difficulties?

Absolutely, but Torment 4 maximizes drops. Start lower if you're gearing up, then scale for efficiency.

3. What's the best class for quick Whisper completions?

Spiritborn or Sorcerer for speed—high mobility and AoE melts bosses. Any Tier 4 viable build works, though.

4. Do alts need to be leveled for multi-character farming?

Nope! As long as they can handle a boss in a minute, you're set. Use Whisper Caches to level them incidentally.

5. Are there daily caps on Whispers or Legion Events?

Whispers reset every few hours based on activity; Legion Events are world-spawn only, no cap. Go wild.
