As much as we would love to give you a definitive list of the best dungeons to farm, the truth is that the answer changes on a regular basis. With regular changes being made to the game, the amount of experience gained per dungeon changes all the time.
This is largely to encourage players to play many dungeons, rather than spend dozens of hours grinding the same dungeon over and over. Still, while the absolute best dungeon may change day after day, those listed above are a few that are consistently among the best.
Bouncing between these dungeons will net you huge amounts of experience, and will form the basis for how you will level your characters.
However, there is an even greater source of experience that can be fared in Nightmare Dungeons, which are beefed-up versions of standard dungeons, with much stronger monsters and modifiers that amplify the difficulty.
How to use Nightmare Dungeons to farm XP
In order to access a Nightmare Dungeon, you must first acquire the dungeon's specific Nightmare Sigil. These can be acquired by completing quests at the Tree of Whispers, but are also be found in other Nightmare Dungeons and crafted by an Occultist.
With many more powerful monsters, Nightmare Dungeons are amazing sources of experience. However, they're not normally as repeatable as regular dungeons, but there is a trick that allows you to access one multiple times and reset the monsters each time.
While the method still works and can be a good way to grind, this trick is not nearly as useful as it used to be, and is not as efficient as completing Nightmare Dungeons properly.
Accessing a Nightmare Dungeon multiple times
The method starts with entering your chosen Nightmare Dungeon, preferably one of the dungeons on the list above (Uldur's Cave does not appear as a Nightmare Dungeon).
- As soon as you enter it, leave and head to any other dungeon
- Next, enter that dungeon as normal, defeat a couple of enemies, and then leave it
- Return to your Nightmare Dungeon and clear it out, barring the final boss - make sure you do not kill them, just all of the other enemies for the experience
- Now, exit the dungeon and you will then be able to re-enter the Nightmare Dungeon, finding it repopulated with monsters that you can farm all over again
This method can only be done solo, so you will have to be able to clear a Nightmare Dungeon by yourself. Also, bear in mind that this method is likely a bug and as such will probably be removed at some point. If this is the case, your best bet is to return to farming the top-tier dungeons in whichever order you choose and jump in a Nightmare Dungeon when they come up.
