EZNPC What to Farm for Stygian Stones in Diablo 4 S11

[Jerry]

Stygian Stones are Diablo 4's must-have endgame mat, farmed best in high-tier Pit and Infernal Hordes, then transmuted 1:1 at the Alchemist into any Greater Lair Key for boss runs.

Stygian Stones are the thing that quietly decides whether your Season 11 endgame actually moves forward or just spins its wheels. You need them for Greater Lair Boss access and the nastier Tormented Echoes, and that's where the real chase loot lives. If you're short on time, some players even top up gold or materials through EZNPC so they can keep their boss loop going instead of stalling out. The best part is how clean the system feels: take a stone to the Alchemist and swap it 1:1 into whatever Greater Lair Key mat you're missing, so you're not bouncing between activities just to fix one weak link in your rotation.

The Pit And The Reality Check

The Pit in Cerrigar is still the first place most folks test, because it's straightforward once you unlock it through Pit of the Artificer. You'll probably have the Runeshards already from Helltides or Nightmare Dungeons, so entry isn't the issue. The issue is pace. The drops don't feel worth thinking about until you're pushing around Tier 100+, and even then solo runs can feel like you're paying a tax in time. In a group it's different. Clears are faster, mistakes get covered, and your stones-per-hour climbs without needing some perfect build or sweaty routing.

Infernal Hordes Are The Fast Track

If you want the method that feels good right now, it's Infernal Hordes. Tier 7 and Tier 8 runs can be a steady faucet if you're not panic-spending Aether. Try to play it a bit greedy and aim for roughly 800 to 1000 Aether before you cash out, then lean into the material chests. That's where the spikes happen, with 3 to 5 stones showing up often enough to notice. It's also less mentally draining than repeating Pit runs, because you're making small choices each wave instead of just sprinting the same hallway forever.

Keep Your Boss Loop Fed

Don't sleep on the "normal" Lair Boss circuit. Varshan, Grigoire, and Lord Zir on basic keys can still drip-feed Stygian Stones through the Torment hoard chests, and that steady trickle matters. It keeps you from having to stop everything just to restock. Group play makes it even better: share summons, rotate who opens, and you stretch everyone's mats further. If you're truly desperate, an alt can be the blunt instrument option. The Triune Mother's Blessing reputation caches handing out 15 stones is no joke, even if it's a bit of a grind to repeat.

Trading, Shortcuts, And Keeping Momentum

Trading is the pressure valve. If you've got extra stones, selling them can bankroll the exact mats you're missing, and prices often hover around the "worth my time" range for most players. If you're the one buying, do it with a plan: decide which boss you're targeting, then buy only what keeps that specific rotation alive. That's the whole game here—momentum. When you've got a night to play and you just want attempts on Ubers, some people also go for carry runs or structured farming help via Diablo 4 boosting to avoid getting stuck in the resupply loop mid-session.
