With this first season of Diablo 4, there was a whole new set of nightmare dungeons that basically took over all the nightmare dungeons we were running before. Read our Diablo 4 season 1 Nightmare Dungeon tier list, we look at the best Nightmare Dungeons to farm based on clear speed, layouts, and mob types, or are they good for glyph leveling and do you get good loot? Basically, they're just a good dungeon to run and it is rewarding.

Diablo 4 Season 1 Best Nightmare Dungeons - D4 Season 1 NM Dungeon Tier List

At the start of the new season of Diablo 4, Blizzard made some adjustments. One of the adjustments that they made was to how your bonus experience from Nightmare Dungeons is calculated. Essentially they want you to do higher-level dungeons to get maximum bonuses so it's 1.5% bonus experience per level up to 10 levels. So if you want a max XP bonus or if you're level 85, you got to be killing mobs level 95 for the 15% bonus XP and then you get more experience from mobs after that. Where before the season, you just had to kill mobs that were plus three levels over your character level and it would grant 25% experience. So we came up with the best Diablo IV season 1 Nightmare Dungeon tier list for all the brand new nightmare dungeons.
