Diablo Immortal: Level to Inferno 5 - Is It Worth It? (Gear Guide!)
Introduction
Are you eyeing Inferno 5 in Diablo Immortal but feeling a bit underpowered? We’ve got you covered. This guide walks you through paragon level jumps, gear optimization, cursed item purification, and bounty hunting tips to push your Combat Rating (CR) over the threshold. Let’s dive in and get you ready to dominate Inferno 5.
Why Mondays Are So Important
Mondays aren’t just another day in Diablo Immortal. Every Monday, the server Paragon level adjusts upward—currently set to 700—which means you’ll earn more experience if you’re below that new level. Here’s a tip: hold off on claiming your rewards until Monday to maximize XP gains. Weekly Shadow rewards, Challenge Rift goodies, and other stashed bonuses can push your paragon level by several points in one sweep.
Claiming Rewards at the Right Time
- Stockpile Challenge Rift and Assembly rewards.
- Wait for the new paragon cap (Monday) to claim them.
- Enjoy the XP boost if you’re under the server level.
Bumping Up Your Combat Rating
If you’re slightly below the required CR for Inferno 5 (44,765), don’t panic. Focus on:
- Gambling Wisely: Use your gold at the merchant to pick up better gear rolls. Even if the magic attributes aren’t ideal, you might find a big CR boost.
- Crafting Upgrades: Salvage unneeded legendaries for Fabled Wisps and create higher-level set pieces.
- Telluric Pearls: Grab one each week from the Hiltz Trader. Gather 40 to craft a second copy of your desired Legendary Gem (for example, Rolling Consequence).
Maintaining Your Build
Sometimes you’ll find gear pieces that offer more CR but don’t match your perfect magic attributes. If you’re dead-set on pushing into Inferno 5 right away, prioritize raw CR. You can always purify and reroll pieces later to chase ideal stats.
House Layer Bounties & Quick Gear Drops
House Layer Bounties can provide rapid gear upgrades. Be aware that you can’t always auto-navigate to these unique bounties, so check your map closely. Don’t forget that you can open your “Bounties” menu to see where you need to go if navigation seems glitchy.
Running these bounties in Inferno 5 might sting at first, but if your CR is near the requirement, you’ll likely manage. After each run, identify your new drops to see if you’ve scored a CR bump or an essence you still need.
Purifying Cursed Items
Cursed properties can give you strong bonuses. You’ll want to keep sets of gear that match your build, like nettled, tortured, or wired effects. Visit the Cursed Purification NPC:
- Choose which pieces you want to purify.
- Spend materials to reroll the curse property until you get the one you need.
- Look for synergy: a four-piece bonus of one curse plus a two-piece bonus of another can boost both your offense and defense.
Extra Activities & Events
Keep an eye on current events. Winds of Fortune is wrapped up, but Feasts of Valenti is still active for daily tasks. There’s also Shady Stock, which can help you gather more items for gear upgrades. These timed events often give crafting materials, Telluric Pearls, or even legendary drops.
Final Thoughts
Hitting Inferno 5 is a big moment in Diablo Immortal. The jump to server Paragon 700 gives you a chance to vault your levels quickly. Push your CR by picking up better gear, purifying cursed properties, and farming bounties in the highest difficulty you can handle. With the right approach, you’ll be tearing through Inferno 5 before you know it.
Good luck on the battlefield, and may your drops always be legendary!
