Infernal Compasses will not drop until you complete Season 5’s seasonal questline.
The rewards grow substantially with each tier, but so too does the difficulty.
We suggest farming T2 Infernal Hordes when you’re just starting out.
If you’re able to handle Level 100 enemies, jump to T3 and T4.
Higher tiers are balanced around endgame builds, so come prepared.
Complete challenges in the Season Journey to progress the Battle Pass, earn powerful leveling items, and more.
In general, you’ll want topick modifiers that increase Aether drops.
Some modifiers are rarer than others, denoted with yellow text and multiple hands.
