This guide will explain how to farm your loot in Fields of Hatred, so let’s dive right in!

Once you activate the event, you must collectSeeds of Hatredby killing demons and other players in the area, which also have the Mark for Blood. When you collect enough Seeds of Hatred, you can convert them intoRed Dustat a specific point called the Altar of Extraction. During this process, you will likely be killed multiple times, so don’t be like me and amass large amounts of Seeds of Hatred because you will lose them all once you die, leaving them for your executioner to collect the bounty.

Becoming a Vessel of Hatred in the Fields of Hatred event in Diablo IV

If you accumulate enough Seeds of Hatred during the Fields of Hatred event in Diablo 4, you will become blessed by Mephisto, turning you into a Vessel of Hatred. At that point, the bounty on your head increases, with all nearby players looking to hunt you down for the extra rewards bonus. The golden threads I had during that period didn’t help alleviate my feeling like a Treasure Goblin while everybody in the Fields was smacking me like a pinata, reminding me of the joys of PvP.

Once you convert the Seeds of Hatred into the Red Dust, the fruits of your labor become safe, as the Red Dust is bound to you and will not drop upon death like the Seeds. But on the other side of the scale, you will be rewarded with more loot and rewards the longer you stay in the arena being the Vessel.

Fields of Hatred rewards in Diablo IV

Partaking in Fields of Hatred in Diablo 4 will reward you with Red Dust, which you can spend at merchants for various items, including weapons and Transmogs. You can also obtain Pvp Ears for each PvP kill you make, which are trophies taken from previous games in the franchise, dating to Diablo 1. They don’t have a purpose in the game, at least so far; it’s more for a keepsake and a trophy. You can sell them for a single gold at vendors, but that would be more trouble than it’s worth.
