How to Farm Ancestral Favor in Diablo 4
There are a few different ways to farm Ancestral Favor in Diablo 4's Lunar Awakening event. This resource can be obtained through dungeons, whispers, as well as the brand new Lunar shrines. Here is our full list of methods for farming Ancestral Favor:
Complete Lunar Awakening Whispers
The new Lunar Awakening event has many interactions with the base game, one of which is with the Whispers of the Dead. Some of the tasks in the open world will now have a unique purple icon attached to them, signaling that they will earn you Ancestral Favor. Make sure to complete these grim favors, as they will both count towards your Whispers of the Dead bar, while also earning you a ton of Ancestral Favor.

Use Lunar Awakening Shrines
One of the main new mechanics added with the Lunar Awakening event is the new Lunar shrines. These shrines are going to be your main way of earning Ancestral Favor, as each enemy you defeat while under the effects of the shrine is going to earn you a certain amount of favor. These shrines can be found throughout the game, both in the open-world sections as well as dungeons. They are also much stronger than the regular shrines in the game, providing you with some extra benefits:
- +50% XP Gain per Monster Kill
- +30% Movement Speed
Make sure you use every Lunar shrine you find, as they are going to be the fastest way of earning Ancestral Favor.

Run Ancestor's Favor Dungeons
One of the new additions that were added to the game with this event is the Ancestor's Favor affix on Nightmare Dungeons. This affix will provide you with a 10% bonus to any Glyph experience you earn, while also adding a lot more Lunar shrines to the dungeon itself. We highly recommend running through Nightmare dungeons that have this affix if you want to quickly unlock all of the rewards. The Ancestor's Favor affix can be rolled by the Occultist, dropped by monsters, or obtained through one of the event's reward tracks.
Those were all of the best methods for earning Ancestral Favor in Diablo 4's new Lunar Awakening event. We hope that these tips and tricks will help you quickly progress through the event so you can earn all of the free in-game rewards.
