Diablo 4has a lot of side activities to complete after beating the main story. Whether you choose to join theEternal realmand see that story or just jump into seasonal content, it’s important to spend your time efficiently, completing side activities that give out the best loot and the most amount of XP.

One side activity you can find throughout the open world is small Whispers that give Grim Favors. Collecting Grim Favors and turning them in is one of the most rewarding things players can do, especially in the first fifty to sixty levels of a character. In every town is a Raven that asks for your Grim Favors, but should you give them to it?

A Grim Favor Task on the Map

What Does The Raven of the Tree Do in Diablo 4?

Usually, after collecting ten Grim Favors, you can return tothe Tree of Whispersto get a cache along with a huge sum of XP. Now, players have a choice of giving those ten Grim Favors to a Ravenfound in just about every major town in the game. The choice mainly comes down to random chance and also what the player is looking for from their Grim Favors.

TheRaven of the Tree acts as a mobile Tree of Whispers, and giving ten Grim Favors to any Raven will also let you choose a cache and give the same amount of XP as a reward. The main benefit here is that players now have an easier way to try for different caches. While early levels it won’t matter as much, you’ll later on want caches for specific gear pieces, and the Raven may have different options than the Tree of Whispers. Before turning in your Grim Favors, you can check a few Ravens and the Tree to find the exact Cache you want before spending them and having to earn ten more.
