Diablo 4 Season 10: Your Guide to Farming Chaos Armor

The Season of Infernal Chaos is arriving soon (or maybe has arrived by the time you are reading this), and with it comes the coveted Chaos Armor sets that every demon slayer wants to get their hands on. If you're a casual player looking to upgrade your gear without grinding 12 hours a day, this guide is for you. Let's break down the best (and most realistic) ways to farm Chaos Armor pieces.

The Big Three: Your Chaos Armor Farming Options

Option 1: Infernal Hordes (The High-Risk, High-Reward Route)

What it is: Running Infernal Hordes to face Bartuc at the end

Why it's the best: Highest drop rates for Chaos Armor by far

The catch: Costs precious Burning Aether to summon Bartuc

This is technically the most efficient method, but there's a big "but" here. If you're not confident you can take down Bartuc consistently, you'll be burning through your Burning Aether supply faster than a demon through holy water. For casual players, this can be frustrating since failed attempts mean fewer overall rewards.

Casual Player Tip: Only attempt Bartuc when you're feeling confident about your build and have researched the fight mechanics. When fighting Bartoc for the first time, consider lowering the difficulty. Once you have done the fight a few times and feel confident you can move up to a higher difficulty. It's better to do successful runs on a lower difficulty than fail at a higher one.

Option 2: Helltides & Nightmare Dungeons (The RNG Lottery)

What it is: Regular gameplay with fingers crossed for Chaos Rifts

Why it works: You're probably doing these activities anyway

The reality check: It's all about luck

While running your usual Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons, you might stumble upon a Chaos Rift. These special events can drop Chaos Armor, but don't count on it happening regularly. Think of these drops as happy accidents rather than a reliable farming strategy.

Casual Player Tip: Don't change your entire routine chasing these rifts. Just keep doing what you enjoy, and celebrate when one appears!

Option 3: Purveyor of Curiosities (The Steady Gambler's Choice)

What it is: Spending Obols to gamble for Chaos Armor pieces

Why it's casual-friendly: Consistent progress without high-stakes battles

The trade-off: Lower odds, but no risk of losing rare resources

This might be the most underrated option for casual players. Sure, the odds aren't amazing, but you're not risking valuable Burning Aether, and you can do it between other activities. Plus, even failed gambles often give you useful gear or materials, and you had to spend those Obols on something anyway.

Casual Player Tip: Focus your Obol gambling on specific armor slots you need most. Don't spread your bets too thin!

The Casual Player's Game Plan

Here's a realistic approach that won't turn Diablo 4 into a second job:

1. Start with Obol gambling - It's the most predictable method and works around your schedule

2. Do your regular Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons - Keep an eye out for Chaos Rifts, but don't stress if they don't appear

3. Attempt Infernal Hordes strategically - Only when you're feeling strong and have Burning Aether to spare

Managing Expectations (The Real Talk)

Let's be honest - Chaos Armor isn't going to drop every session. That's by design. Season 10 is meant to last months, not weeks. The key is finding a farming routine that you actually enjoy rather than one that feels like work.

Remember, having all of your Chaos Armor pieces is the endgame goal, not something you need in the first week. Take your time, experiment with different approaches, and don't be afraid to take breaks when the RNG isn't going your way.

Final Thoughts

The beauty of having multiple farming methods is that you can switch between them based on your mood and available time. Feeling confident and have an hour to spare? Try some Infernal Hordes. Just want to relax and clear your mind? Stick to Helltides and the occasional Obol gamble.

The Season of Infernal Chaos will be here for months, so there's no need to stress about getting everything immediately. Play at your own pace, celebrate the small wins, and remember - the best farming method is the one you actually enjoy doing.

Happy hunting, and may the Chaos Armor odds be ever in your favor!
