How to get and use Grim Favors in Diablo 4

Gear is the name of the game in Diablo 4. Once you complete the main campaign, the Tree of Whispers will become another source of finding Legendary loot. Loot will not come free from the Tree of Whispers, however, as you will need to obtain a unique currency called Grim Favors.

Completing the main storyline is only the start of your journey throughout Diablo 4. After the campaign, various endgame content like Helltide Events, Nightmare Dungeons, and the Tree of Whispers become available. These different types of events are important mostly because each is a different source of Legendary gear.

If you are trying to use the Tree of Whispers to obtain high-value loot, here is how you can get and use Grim Favors in Diablo 4.

Once you speak with the Tree of Whispers, you will start to notice events that award Grim Favors popping up all over the map in Diablo 4. Whisper events can be identified by pink and red star-shaped icons. In their descriptions, you will also see how many Grim Favors completing the given objective will award, along with more details on the task.

Grim Favor events will rotate every 90 minutes, changing locations and tasks. There are some constants, as dungeons always award five Grim Favors while smaller events, such as collections, will only give one.
