Location: Dry Steppes.
Born from their contempt of mortals, Mephisto has cursed specific areas of Sanctuary, transforming them into deadly Fields of Hatred. These designated PvP zones are the proving grounds for players looking to bring renown to their name through blood and zeal. While inside the Fields of Hatred, players can dispatch demons to collect Seeds of Hatred. To make use of these seeds, you’ll need to bring them to the Altar of Extraction where they can be smashed into Red Dust. Be quick to convert your Seeds of Hatred to Red Dust—they are the desire of other players lurking in the zone, and if they are skilled enough to overtake you in combat, your Seeds of Hatred will be dropped.
Going through the trouble of transforming Seeds of Hatred into Red Dust does have its merits. Red Dust will not be lost if you are felled. It can also be spent at the PvP Cosmetic and Mount Vendors for ornamental rewards. Will you be able to forge a name for yourself in these tainted lands?

Seeds of Hatred can be obtained from monsters, events, and chests. Dropped seeds can be picked up by anyone. Seeds are dropped upon death and completely purged when leaving the PvP area. | |
Turn Seeds of Hatred into permanent Red Dust by performing Purification Rituals. Red Dust is used at various vendors within the town. | |
Mark for Blood by Pressing E and scrolling through the wheel options. Once Bloodmarked, you can attack other players. | |
Bloodmark can be removed by using an Altar of Cleansing found in town. | |
Defeat players while Bloodmarked to become Hatred's Chosen. While Hatred's Chosen, your position is revealed to all players in the area and you cannot perform rituals at Altars of Extraction. Survive to receive powerful rewards. Hatred's Chosen is forfeited when entering a town or leaving the area. |
Now wether you like PVP or not, the PVP area offers one of the most viable way to farm legendary equip.
Purify Seeds of Hatred at an Altar of Extraction to turn them into Red Dust
There are a lot of monsters there, even PVP Boss, which you can farm for Seed of Hatred (or even regular gear, since density is pretty good). Seed of Hatred is a currency which, once converted via the PVP altars, allows you to gamble for gear (also offers a few cosmetics).
It was the most viable way to farm gear, and so most players didn’t Bloodmark (pvp flag) themselves so they could cooperate and simply PVE farm.
Bloodmarking oneself allows you to attack anyone (including non-Bloodmarked players), it’s basically “hostile mode”, and doing so increases your Seed of Hatred rate, but you can choose not to Bloodmark yourself and cooperate with other non-Bloodmarked players to simply farm PVE monsters. This will not prevent you from being attacked by hostile “Bloodmarked” players though.
