The Season 4 update is intended to make players engage with the Tormented boss system, while the result is hardly up to expectations. Today we’ll talk about what you need to summon the torment bosses - Stygian Stone in Diablo 4, involves the drop rate, rarity, where to use it, and how to get it, along with the best farming tips. 

Diablo 4 Stygian Stone Drop Rate (Chance) & Rarity 

Stygian Stone is a new resource that is required to summon the Torment bosses in Diablo 4 endgame, it can sell for high value in D4 gold, how often can you get it? The YouTuber wudijo found that the drop rate of D4 Stygian Stone is estimated to be around 2% or 1 in 50 for completing a pit run. The intended gameplay update was for Tormented bosses to replace regular boss grinding, but extremely low Stone drop rates undermine this. 

Stygian Stones are very rare in Diablo 4 now, other boss summoning materials like Living Steel drop frequently from later levels of the Iron Wolves campaign. But Stygian Stones do not, they are very rare to obtain after using up the initial supply from season journeys. 

Diablo 4 Torment Boss Drops

Farming torment Bosses guaranteed drop Item Power Level 925 items, which is beneficial for your endgame. Which boss is the best? The small bosses, such as Zir, and Beast, have a lower drop rate for Stygian Stones than larger bosses, such as Andariel and Duriel, which should be improved because the small bosses are supposed to be of equal difficulty. If you want to farm more unique or Uber uniques, focus on farming Tormented Duriel as much as possible with any Stygian Stones obtained, it is relatively easy and has a good drop rate. 

There is evidence Tormented bosses have lower unique drop rates (0.5%) than regular boss versions (2% for some), making them inefficient and discouraged from farming compared to regular versions. Changes are needed to address Stygian Stone rarity, boss material drops from Tormented bosses, and potentially equalizing unique drop chances.

Where to Farm Stygian Stone in D4?

- The Pit is one of the major locations to farm Stygian Stones in D4 Season 4, which can be a slow and inefficient process. Note that if you collaborate with others to run The Pit, then only the person whose world it is will be rewarded the stones.

- You can also obtain a few Stygian Stones from finishing the last two chapters of the season journey and completing the Iron Wolves reputation grind to level 18. 

- World bosses on World Tier 4 also have a chance to drop the material, while the drop rate is low and it may take multiple kills to obtain one. Leveling new characters through Helltide campaign rewards is probably a more reliable way to get Stygian Stones than endgame farming.

What is the best way to get Stygian Stone in Diablo IV? Here are some potential tips and strategies to increase the chance of getting the stones in D4.

- Leveling alts may be one of the best ways to get the stones. 

- Farm in higher tier Pits (80+) where the drop rate may increase in deeper areas. Achieving Torment tiers especially. 

- Repeat farming in the same World Boss locations as they seem to have a higher unique/stone drop rate than normal encounters. 

- Run full World Boss circuits to tap multiple chances per run. The more bosses killed, the better the odds.

- Focus on killing elite/champion monsters in all content as they have boosted unique drop rates.

- Equip Magic Find gear before farming to marginally increase legendary/stone drops. 

- Level new characters through Helltide then claim Iron Wolf caches as a farmable source.

- Use active skills that clear large groups quickly like Necro Corpse Explosion to maximize kills. 

- Play in a full party for increased monster numbers and thus more roll chances per run.
