The NPC is named Zaven the Alchemist (Merchant). He looks sick (sobbing position).Īfter killing the nearby demons, the NPC will stand up normal and a silver exclamation mark will hover above his head to talk to him.Īfter clicking him, you will now see his name. The screenshot below shows you how he looks like. It’s easy to miss if you aren’t looking sharp. You should try running different games until the right random map appears. This NPC rarely appears in the Dahlgur Oasis. The Mysterious Cave doesn’t have an icon on the map. Take a look at the mini-map below to see the shape of the peninsula. There’s a small peninsula full of water that can appear up to three times throughout the wall border in a single map.

Follow all the southern wall border up to the north east corner. You don’t have to walk the entire map in search of this item.

Now walk to the New Tristram waypoint, and under Dahlgur Oasis, select Path to the Oasis. Under ACT II Chapter 6: Betrayer of the Horadrim, select The Forgotten Ruins. We have been playing the PS4 version on our PS5 for some time, so we get to go after the easier version.At the character screen, click Change Quest. The console version of the game doesn’t require the Liquid Rainbow or Leoric’s Shinbone and only costs 5k Gold. In order to craft the Staff of Herding on the PC, you will need 50K Gold and the following items:

The materials needed for the staff are different if you are playing on a console versus a PC. We usually try to get him to spawn as a Bounty for the extra stuff that comes with the ACT IV bounties. It may take you several tries, or you may get it on the first go. He may not drop it on your first go, so you’ll need to exit out to the main menu, re-enter adventure mode and try again. To find Izual, port to the Act IV, Silver Spire Level 1 way-point, find the entrance to the Great Span in the Silver Spire Level 1, and then enter the Great Span and defeat Izual. The blacksmith can craft it at level 1, but you’ll need to get the plans for it from Izual, a level boss in ACT IV. You won’t need it for quite some time though, as it is for the 25th unlock in the Altar of Rites. We won’t start farming for the staff until we reach level 70, but technically you can start farming right away. Each material can only be farmed in a very specific place, so you always want to choose the mode that gives you the fastest access to that specific place, and since Adventure Mode gives you access to the entire world of Diablo III, there’s no reason to go into the Campaign if you have already completed it, with the exception of the Liquid Rainbow. All the materials needed for the staff can be farmed in both Adventure Mode or Campaign Mode, but using Adventure Mode is the easier route with the exception of the Liquid Rainbow.
