Step 4: Run Forgotten Wisdom Sigils
Best XP/hour comes from low difficulty + fast clears.
If you find a Forgotten Wisdom Sigil, run it on Normal difficulty:
Mobs die fast.
You fly through dungeons, racking up Exp Orbs.
Even if you get slightly less XP per mob, the speed of clearing makes up for it.
What If You Don't Have Forgotten Wisdom?
Run normal Nightmare Dungeons on the highest difficulty you can clear fast.
Stack gear with Mobility, AoE, and Resource Sustain.
Focus on Sigil Dust farming so you can craft or buy D4 materials more Sigils later.
Once you get a Forgotten Wisdom Sigil, prioritize it.
Consumables To Stack XP
1. XP Potion (Always on until level 45)
2. Incense (Start using after level 45)
3. Season Blessings for XP (via Smoldering Ashes)
Bonus Tips
Escalation Sigils (unlocked in later Seasonal Tiers) with Forgotten Wisdom are supercharged for XP.
Horadric Strongrooms are great if you find one - lots of elites and mobs = more orbs.
Use area-efficient builds that focus on clearing large packs (e.g., Sorcerer Firewall, Druid Tornado, Necro Blight, etc.)
Known Limitation / Bug
Currently, Nightmare Dungeons may not always reward Nightmare Sigils after cheap Diablo 4 gold completion. This may be a bug, so you'll need to rely more on:
Whispers
Treasure Chests
Salvaging excess Sigils
