Axial Conduit—Getting the Axial Conduit will require you to dive into the Infernal Hordes, a new and intense rogue-like endgame mode presented in Season 5. You cannot, however, dive into the hordes unless you complete the questline "The Eyes of the Enemy" on World Tier 3: Nightmare difficulty.

After obtaining the Infernal Compass, and opening the portal to the Infernal Hordes, you are tasked with killing as many demons as possible. For this mass murder, you are compensated in Burning Aether, a special currency used in buying Spoils of Hell. These Spoils can contain the coveted new Unique Items, including Axial Conduit.

This will give you maximum chances of obtaining an Axial Conduit. Ensure farming Spoils of Greater Equipment, as they contain higher-tier Burning Aether. While regular Spoils of Equipment give you a chance for the item, the rate is much lower.

See below how much Burning Aether you will need to spend on different Spoils and what potential rewards you could get:

Spoils of Greater Equipment: Requires Tier 3 or higher. 60 Burning Aether. Contains items with superior attributes.

Spoils of Equipment: 20 Burning Aether. Contains standard equipment.

Spoils of Materials: 20 Burning Aether. Contains crafting materials.

Spoils of Gold: All remaining Aether. Provides a substantial amount of gold.

Axial Conduit explained

Axial Conduit are the pants, legendary, which boost Chain Lightning pretty much for a Sorcerer build. Ancestral unique will carry big boosts to armor, damage reduction, and resource generation—core for both survivability and spellcasting.

It has some of its special powers change Chain Lightning itself, orbiting the player before finding multiple enemies. It is changed behavior now ending in a powerful explosion after the consumption of a set amount of Mana. This adds a bit of complexity and some risk to the spell; however, the potential damage output is terribly high.

Axial Conduit's stat boosts are pretty valuable for the challenging stages in the Infernal Hordes. With its unique modification to Chain Lightning, cycling between seeking enemies, consuming Mana, and issuing explosive Lightnings, it's a very good tool for farming this endgame content.
