How to get Diablo 4 Mother's Gifts fast
Mother's Gifts in Diablo 4 can be taken to Istel in Zarbinzet and exchanged for a selection of rewards
Diablo 4 Mother's Gifts are the latest resource linked to seasonal progress, so after you've completed the initial ritual and spoken with Istel, you'll need to find plenty more of it to increase your standing with what's left of the Mother's Triune. As well as allowing you to progress through the seasonal questline, Mother's Gifts will also unlock fresh weapons, gear, and materials as you increase your reputation in Diablo 4. Therefore, it pays to know the quickest way to find this resource, so here's how to get Mother's Gifts in Diablo 4 fast.
How to earn Mother's Gifts in Diablo 4
To earn Mother's Gifts in Diablo 4, you need to defeat "powerful servants of Hell" including Elites, Champions, Hellborne, and Bosses for them to drop, so to maximize your progress you're looking for methods to reach large numbers of those enemies quickly. At World Tiers 1 and 2, the fastest way to earn Mother's Gifts in Diablo 4 is to participate in Legion Events, so keep an eye out for them appearing on the map as they provide a large number of Elite enemies plus three Bosses to defeat. Although not quite as efficient, you can also earn Mother's Gifts by taking part in Diablo 4 Helltide events when they appear, by heading to areas marked on the map with a red coloring and slaying your way through the various monsters that spawn there.
If you've made significant progress and want to up your game, then at World Tiers 3 and 4, the fastest way to earn Mother's Gifts in Diablo 4 is to participate in Infernal Hordes. This content unlocks in World Tier 3 after completing the seasonal questline, and involves surviving increasingly difficult waves of enemies until your reach the final showdown with the Fell Council, consisting of corrupted priests with unique attacks.
You can also increase your chances of additional Mother's Gifts in Diablo 4 with one of the Season Blessings, so you should allocate the Smouldering Ashes you unlock with your Season progress to the Urn of the Blessed Mother. Each Urn of the Blessed Mother level you activate gives a 10% boost to the chance of additional Mother's Gifts dropping from the sources listed above, and these stack to a maximum boost of +40% at Level 4.
