In Diablo 3, Hellforge Embers can drop anywhere in the world. However, there are ways to increase your chances of getting drops quickly. The most important aspect is to play at the highest Torment difficulty. Torment 16 is, of course, the best option, but just if you can farm mobs with speed.

Always use farming routes with high mob density or jump into Whimsyshire on the highest Torment difficulty possible.
