What Is Nephalem Valor Buff In Diablo 3?

What Is The Nephalem Valor Buff In Diablo 3?

It's no Diablo 3 Gold Secret that the Nephalem Valor Buff makes farming for gold and items much easier and more profitable.  Stacking your Nephalem Valor Buff to 5 stacks is highly recommended when farming for gold and items.  So what is Nephalem Valor (commonly seen as NV)?

Nephalem Valor




  • Only earned once character level 60.
  • Gain 1 stack of Nephalem Valor per Elite, Rare, or Champion mob pack killed.
  • Max stacks allowed is 5.
  • Each stacks provides +15% Magic Find & +15% Gold Find.
  • Can gain total +75% Magic Find & Gold Find with full 5 stacks of Nephalem Valor.
  • 30 Min buff duration, but refreshed with new Rare, Elite, or Champion mob pack kill.
  • Leaving game or changing skills removes all Nephalem Valor.




  • Even a brand new level 60 Diablo 3 character with no good gold or magic item farming gear will see a huge benefit from the Nephalem Valor buff.  The buff to magic and gold find is additive, not multiplicative.  So while the Nephalem Valor buff will stack with the Fortune Shrine and other buffs, Magic Find on your gear, or extra Magic Find from your choice of gems for your helm, you simply add the 15-75% buff to your current magic find.


    Preventing Accidental Loss Of Nephalem Valor Buffs

    It is important to note that you will lose all buffs if you leave the game, but you also lose all Nephalem Valor if you change your skills around.  So if you need a specific skill set to beat your desired boss target, you must farm your stacks of Nephelam Valor in that same skill set up.

    Some players have been complaining about accidentally moving skills around on the skill bar in elective mode with a misplaced mouse click, thus resulting in a loss of all stacks of the NV buff.  A simple fix to prevent this is to turn off Elective Mode once you have your chosen skill set up completed.  This prevents you from being able to accidentally move the skills around on your Diablo 3 character toolbar.

    Get A Quick 5 Stack NV Buff In Act I of Diablo 3

    Here's a quick and profitable route to a quick 5 Stack of the Diablo 3 Nephalem Valor Buff.

    • Take waypoint to Cemetary of the Forsaken
    • If Elite spawned kill, if not: Enter Crypts.
    • Clear each crypt until you get your 5 NV stacks.
    • Teleport to town and use waypoint to get back for each crypt.
    Then once you have your full 5 NV stacks, you can head on to kill the Skeleton King, the Butcher, The Warden, or whoever else you are farming.

    1. Another easy act 1 stack is festering woods. 1-3 packs outside in very small area and 2 gaurenteed elites in two always spawning caves.

    2. My way is to start on the quest for the cursed hold but before going into dungeon I go straight to festering woods and clear it completely. Then if im in a hurry I go to the dungeon after since i am guaranteed to find at least 2 rares before i fight the warden (more if i explore the whole cursed hold). Then i just go through killing the warden then the butcher with nv stacked. If I am not in a hurry I will do the crypts after the festering woods, then to the northern highlands after the crypts to look for the watch tower because by then i will have nv stacked full (watch tower is random spawn on left side of map that often has a res chest), then I will go to the old ruins and backtrack to see if sarkoth is open, lastly i continue down through the dungeon killing the bosses.
