Helltide farming

even though helltides is up on every hour ,still slow farming steel… i can farm 2 chests in 20 mins then have to wait 40 mins to start again so we not really benefitted much from hourly helltides

err… as far as I can tell in T4 every chest, yes including the 75 shards ones, gives a living steel.

The living steel chest is just more efficient at dropping the stuff.

efficient exactly…375 cinders to get 5 steel is not efficient…in old way at least the chests reset at different time in the hour depending when helltide started…

It’s about 27% less efficient.
First you get the good stuff in a helltide. That works well for anyone to jump in as the best loot is in the beginning. Then it fades which means you can do something else or keep farming at a 27% less efficient rate.

Cellars in Helltide areas should be at +20 monster level and increased density, and drop lots of extra cinders. That way you can get rewarded for being strong, instead of just for time invested.
