Players were introduced to a few new materials when Season of the Infernal Hordes came out and one of these was Burning Aether.
Obtainable when running Hellbreach Dungeons when you first start and later The Infernal Hordes activities, these are required for getting rewards.
When it comes to the question of how to farm Burning Aether, the ability to fight your way through enemies and progress through such dungeons determines how much you get.
Where To Get Burning Aether?
Burning Aether is only available in Hellbreach Dungeons as well as The Infernal Hordes Dungeons, which reset every time you start a new dungeon.
Hellbreach Dungeons are found in fixed locations, while The Infernal Hordes is started by using an Infernal Hordes Compass. (Dropped or crafted from Occultist)
Running Hellbreach Dungeons has the amount of Burning Aether capped at 20 while The Infernal Hordes allows you to get countless amounts based on your run.
How To Farm Burning Aether?
In Hellbreach Dungeons, you can get Burning Aether by completing objectives as this is a small taste of what you will encounter in The Infernal Hordes.
Running The Infernal Hordes will allow you to collect a seemingly limitless amount based on how many objectives you complete and the enemies you defeat.
A good way to farm a lot of Burning Aether would be to defeat enemies as quickly as possible as well as complete several objectives within the given time limits.
During The Infernal Hordes, you can choose certain Infernal Offers that provide you with Boons and Banes, which may also affect how much Burning Aether you can get.
Best Way to Farm Burning Aether
When it comes to farming Burning Aether, this is mainly done in The Infernal Hordes activity, and before you begin, you should prepare your character to face the demons of hell.
Equip the best gear that you have and make the necessary upgrades that will allow you to quickly kill enemies and complete objectives that appear.
Certain Infernal Offers should be chosen, such as those that cause enemies to spawn more Burning Aether or those that give you more opportunities to get the material.
Burning Aether Uses
Once you complete a run of the Hellbreach Dungeons or The Infernal Hordes activity, you will have various chests to choose from.
Each of these chests will cost you a certain amount of Burning Aether and may be opened repeatedly if you have enough to spend.
Hellbreach Burning Aether Rewards
- Spoils of Gold (Trades 1 Burning Aether for Gold)
- Spoils of Hell I (Trades 5 Burning Aether for Equipment, Materials, and Gold)
- Spoils of Hell II (Trades 20 Burning Aether for Equipment, Materials, and Gold)
The Infernal Hordes Burning Aether Rewards
- Spoils of Equipment (Trades 20 Burning Aether for valuable Equipment)
- Spoils of Materials (Trades 20 Burning Aether for valuable Materials)
- Spoils of Gold (Trades all remaining Burning Aether for Gold)
Verdict
Burning Aether is best farmed in The Infernal Hordes activity as these provide you with better rewards than in a Hellbreach Dungeon.
The amount of Burning Aether you collect is not based on surviving waves but instead, it is how much you do in each wave.
Collecting a huge ton of Burning Aether can be done by focusing on dominating each wave and choosing Infernal Offers that increase Aether Drops and Objective Spawns.
