A new event is now live in Diablo 4. The Compass to Carnage event is designed to make the Infernal Hordes more appealing and more rewarding. The event will cause:
- More Infernal Compasses to drop
- More Chaos Waves
- More Aether to drop from Chaos Rifts during Chaos Waves
The event should come as a welcome surprise to players, especially those trying to fully level up their Warplans.
There has been growing discourse within the Diablo 4 player community, voiced across platforms such as Reddit and X, that of all the Warplan activities, Infernal Hordes is the most time-consuming and least rewarding. The Compass to Carnage event should provide a decent incentive to start running Hordes, or at least make leveling them as a Warplan activity feel like less of a chore, and more of an opportunity to earn rewards that match the time invested.
As with all Warplan activities, Infernal Hordes can grow increasingly more rewarding as nodes are unlocked on its progression tree. One node in particular seems to genuinely add value — or at least the possibility of value — to running Infernal Hordes. The Council Coffers node will cause a Chest of Talismans to appear after defeating either choice of boss. It only costs 100 Aether to open and will drop a variety of seals and charms. Players have reported that Mythic Seals can drop from this chest.
While the Compass to Carnage event is live, it should be quite easy for most players to gather enough Aether to:
- Summon Bartuc
- Open the Council Coffers
- Open the Spoils of Greater Equipment
- Have plenty of Aether left over to spend on the Spoils of Materials or Spoils of Gold
The event runs until May 27.
