The Oculus in D2R is actually best farmed in nightmare difficulty for a couple of reasons: 

1. The drop chances is actually higher than the chance in Hell

2. It's a lot faster to clear nightmare monsters than it is to clear Hell of monsters

3. If you're looking for The Oculus, you're probably kind of middle of the road too, anyway trying to gear up and so nightmare difficulties going to be a lot more survivable and easier to quickly farm.

Best Places To Farm The Oculus in Diablo 2 Resurrected

So here is the list of best spots which are quick and easy to farm The Oculus in Nightmare difficulty:

1. Diablo (The Chaos Sanctuary)

Diablo has a great chance to drop The Oculus with 1:1224 rate undeer 300 Magic Find. What's more, the Diablo runs are so fast like a minute maybe, means you only really need to wait for Diablo to spawn, otherwise it's just like teleport at full speed, pop the portals and you're good to go. 

2. Mephisto (Durance of Hate Level 3)

Other than that we have mephisto also in nightmare difficulty, if you can find Mephisto quickly, you might be able to do these runs faster. They're both going to be really comparable Diablo and Mephisto, the chances for farming in hell difficulty are just a little bit worse and of course you can get better gear if you're farming in hell difficulty, so if you're geared up to such a high level where farming nightmare or hell is no difference whatsoever. You're probably better farming Hell difficulty, then of course you can buy D2R items as well. 

3. Nihlathak (Halls of Vaught) & Pindleskin (Nihlathak's Temple)

When we switch over to our super uniques, the spot with best chance to farm The Oculus is Nihlathak with 1:8850 possibility. But you can't farm Nihlathak faster than Diablo you know. You can a little bit faster but its drop chance is ten times as bad, so you know which one you should go if you do the math there. Pindleskin is our usual go-to farm spot with 1:1378 chance (not too good). But you know you clear Pindleskin once every 30 seconds where you clear Diablo once every one minute, so we think Diablo or Mephisto is going to be a better probability.
