Diablo 4 Potent Blood: How to Farm and Upgrade Vampiric Powers
Diablo 4’s Season of Blood is packed with fresh content and significant quality of life (QoL) updates. While we may find amusement in the bizarre appearance of the speeding horse later, let’s focus on the topic at hand: Potent Blood. Potent Blood is essential for unlocking and upgrading the Vampiric Powers introduced in Season 2. In this guide, we’ll delve into the most efficient methods for farming Potent Blood and upgrading your Vampiric Powers in Diablo 4.
How to Farm Potent Blood in Diablo 4
The most reliable and efficient location for farming Potent Blood is within the Season 2 Blood Harvests. These areas, color-coded in green on the map, function similarly to Helltides.
Inside these cursed areas, you’ll come across vampiric enemies scattered throughout. Defeating as many as possible will quickly accumulate a substantial amount of Potent Blood. Engage in killing sprees or complete events in the area to acquire even more Potent Blood.
During Blood Harvests, be on the lookout for Seeker Keys, which drop from defeated enemies. These keys grant access to Seeker Caches that randomly appear in the area. While resembling chests found in Helltides, the key difference is that your Seeker Keys persist between Harvests. So even if you lose track of time, you’ll never be left empty-handed. Blood Harvests are always worth your effort.
Notably, Blood Harvests offer the flexibility of being farmed at your own leisure. These events can be accessed irrespective of your character’s level and serve as an excellent place to grind XP. As enemies scale with your level, simply ensure that you constantly spend Skill Points and upgrade your gear.
How to Upgrade Vampiric Powers in Diablo 4
Upgrading your Vampiric Powers in Diablo 4 is a straightforward process that requires a decent amount of Potent Blood. Open the Character Menu and navigate to the “Vampiric Powers” tab (L2 on PlayStation). Within this menu, you can unlock and upgrade your powers. At the bottom of the menu, press the “Spend” button to exchange your Potent Blood for upgrades.
Once you become familiar with the system, upgrading Vampiric Powers in Diablo 4 is relatively simple. Blood Harvests are much more forgiving than Helltides, and besides accumulating Potent Blood, you can also acquire powerful loot during your adventures.
