Diablo Immortal: Max Gear Guide & AFK Farming Debate

ECHO Gaming Staff April 21, 2025 Gaming Diablo 2 days ago

 TL;DR: ECHO finally pushed every item to rank 30, explains the dust‑saving grind, calls out AFK farmers, and shows a stress‑free Accursed Tower run that netted 96 scrap and 7 dust in minutes. 

All Roads Lead to Rank 30

After months of steady play—no botting, no endless circle laps—our host needed just one more upgrade. Thanks to a fresh haul of scrap, shards, dust, and gold, the last piece clicked to level 30 on camera, unlocking the final ability roll and an in‑game trophy. The relief was loud and real.

What Changes at Max?

Every skill mod tied to gear slots opens up.
You can try new reroll options from the recent patch.
The urge to hoard scrap fades… until Blizzard raises the cap again.

The AFK Farming Elephant in the Room

A Reddit clip shows Necromancers camping Library of Zoltun Kulle while skeletons do the work. Blizzard rarely bans for it, so zones clog, spawns lag, and legit bounty hunters suffer. The video sparked the same old question: Does the studio even care?

Why It Hurts Active Players

Slower mob respawns stall quests and bounties.
Solo grinders walk into empty halls, wasting buffs and time.
The practice nudges newcomers toward copying the problem.

A Fresh Spot: The Accursed Tower

Instead of orbiting the same open‑world loops, the creator drops into a contested tower just to farm. No stopwatch, no sweaty ranks—just clear mobs, tag cursed sources, and pocket resources.

Quick‑Run Numbers

Run time: ≈ 3 minutes
Loot: 96 scrap, 7 dust, plus rune chances
Stress level: low (solo), medium (if racing for leaderboard)

Why This Works

Red zones inside the tower pack tighter enemy waves, meaning more shards per swing. Even without 100 % mount uptime, you’ll still fill bags faster than many wilderness routes—and it breaks the circle‑farming monotony.

Smart Grinding After You Cap

Bank resources anyway. Cap hikes will return.
Mix routines. Alternate tower runs, world events, and dungeons to dodge burnout.
Go party mode when you care about tower timers; solo when you just need mats.
Speak up. If AFK clusters block quests, report the spot. Public pressure beats silence.

Final Word

Maxing gear without bots proves it’s doable—just slower. Whether Blizzard cracks down on AFK armies or not, you can still stockpile mats and keep the game fun by rotating farming spots like the Accursed Tower. See you in Sanctuary every Thursday night at 10 p.m. ET for the next community run.
