Why This Method is King
Guaranteed Rune Drops (Attunement Rank 1+)
Scales with Tribute Power (better attunement = better Rune quality)
Synergizes with Diablo 4 Items other content (you’ll naturally earn Tributes by running Nightmare content anyway)
Highly repeatable (zero downtime if you manage your Tribute supply)
Tribute of Harmony Explained
The Tribute of Harmony is the engine behind this farming loop. It’s a rare consumable that drops from Nightmare Dungeons and Escalating Nightmares, especially at higher tiers.
When activated in the Kurast Undercity, the tribute modifies the dungeon with a mix of bonuses and penalties:
Rewards Upgrade: Guaranteed Rune drops at Attunement Rank 1+
Starting Timer: 75 seconds
Time Bonus Penalty: -25%
Potion Drop Penalty: -30%
This design forces efficient play. The penalties increase difficulty, but the reward-guaranteed Runes are worth the tradeoff.
The higher your Attunement Rank during the run, the rarer and buy Diablo 4 Items more numerous the Runes you’ll walk away with.
