Hence, many have wanted to get the best gear for their character during their playthrough in Sanctuary. However, among all, the Black River stands atop the charts as the best unique weapon for Necromancers in the game.
However, as it is a unique and rare item, it might be difficult to acquire during your playthrough. Hence, this article will cover all the essential details regarding the Black River scythe in Diablo 4.

After you have unlocked these World Tier difficulties, you can interchange between them through the World Tier statue in Kyovashad. As mentioned earlier, the Black River is a rare Unique item, and it will likely take a fair amount of grinding before you come across this weapon.
