Diablo 4 DLC: What Special Highlights And Free Benefits Are Coming To The Upcoming Halloween Event? - October 29 - November 5
Diablo 4’s Vessel of Hatred expansion has been released for a while, and many players have completed the storyline in DLC and experienced the fun of Spiritborn. However, the game did not stop because of a successful update. Instead, it is making final preparations for the upcoming Halloween event.
According to official news, Diablo 4 will officially launch the “macabre celebration” Halloween event at 10 am Pacific Time on October 29, and it will last until the same time on November 5.
During this period, all participating players will receive a series of limited-time free store items as rewards. In addition, a particularly noteworthy highlight is Butcher-exclusive “Meat or Treat” Dungeon Shrine modifier, which will also be available during this period. This means that players can explore more different game content through this interesting mechanism.
For players who like Diablo 4 series and want to spend a Halloween holiday full of surprises and fun in the game, it is definitely worth logging in to the game during this period. Whether you want to collect rare items, accumulate Diablo 4 Gold, or just feel the festive atmosphere, the “macabre celebration” can meet your needs.
Free Goodies
Diablo 4’s Halloween event brings a series of exciting benefits to players, the most notable of which is that during the event, players can get free store items by simply logging into the game. This generous move can make every participant feel the sincerity of the development team and the importance of the player community.
Specifically, starting from October 29, a new cosmetic item will be available in the store every day for players to receive for free. Each cosmetic item has a unique design. It should be noted that although Halloween event itself will last until November 5, the free cosmetic items will end on November 1. Besides the free cosmetics, Diablo 4’s Halloween event also includes the following free items:
- October 29: Recluse’s Host Mount
- October 30: Ichorflame Torch Mount Trophy
- October 31: Recluse’s Flask Mount Trophy
- November 1: Reclusive Trappings Mount Armor
In Diablo 4’s Halloween event, October 29 marks the start of a series of unique and seasonal free mounts and loot for players to claim in the in-game store. First up is Recluse’s Host Mount, a uniquely designed zombie horse with a decayed flesh and empty eye sockets that perfectly fit the horror theme of Halloween, adding a festive touch to players’ rides through the vast world of Sanctuary.
Then, on the next day, October 30, players can claim Ichorflame Torch Mount Trophy, a creative item featuring a large recluse spider with one side clasping a burning flame, adding a mysterious and powerful aura to the player’s character.
On the last day of the event, November 1, the store will offer Reclusive Trappings Mount Armor, a piece of armor designed specifically for the aforementioned zombie horse, which is covered in dense spider webs to make its entire body more terrifying and also strengthen the mount’s defense capabilities.
During this Halloween event, players do not need to log in to the game every day to claim the free items. Each date marks the time when the item is available in the store, and players can claim it after the item is available until November 5 at 12 noon Pacific Time.
Therefore, as long as players log in once between November 1 and November 5, they can claim all the free decorative items offered by the event. If you want some other game items, you can pay attention to Diablo 4 Season 6 giveaway event that iGMeet discord has been doing. Just leave your favorite emoji to participate in the draw.

A Dungeon Modifier
Diablo 4 also launched Butcher’s ‘Meat or Treat’ event during Halloween event. The essence of this event lies in its influence mechanism on Dungeon Shrines. When players activate any Dungeon Shrines during the event, they may trigger this special effect. Once activated, Shrines will show different “surprise” effects from the usual, which may include additional loot, enhanced attributes or other unexpected gains.
However, although these surprise effects are tempting, they may also be accompanied by certain risks and challenges, which will have unpredictable negative effects on the operation of the dungeon.
Therefore, for players who are eager to explore and experience this event, how to wisely choose when and where to activate the dungeon shrine during the event from October 29 to November 5 has become an important strategic consideration.
Although Diablo 4’s Halloween event may not include a lot of substantial game content updates, it is worth being able to receive a few new cosmetic items for free during the holiday. In addition, regarding Butcher’s game of “Meat or Treat,” Diablo 4 development team has maintained a mysterious silence and has not clearly informed players of the specific advantages and disadvantages they will face after activating a Dungeon Shrine.
Players need to explore and experience the event content in person after the event starts in order to discover the secrets and surprises. This may mean that activating a Dungeon Shrine after the event is officially launched may bring some unexpected benefits.

Diablo 4 Season 8 Mighty Th ...
In the first few seasons of Diablo 4, Mighty Throw Barbarian build has become a favorite for players who want to challenge the very difficult endgame stages. It can throw its weapons with dominant force and destroy multiple enemies at once, which is very effective against enemies with poor physical defense and groups. Although the cooldown of Mighty Throw may hinder your ability to quickly clear with this build, it and Steel Grasp have undergone a very significant overhaul in the upcoming Season 8, and The Third Blade Unique, which can make up for this shortcoming, has also received some additions in the new season, making this build likely to continue to play a major role in D4S8. If you haven’t tried this powerful Mighty Throw Barbarian endgame build before, this guide will give you an introduction to its pros and cons and possible changes in the next season. For players who have tried or are using this build, here are some build options that will make you more powerful in the next season. Pros And Cons The main reason why many D4 players like to use Mighty Throw Barbarian build is because of its semi-ranged play style, which allows you to attack enemies from a distance, thereby reducing the threat posed by enemies in close combat, which is very important for Barbarian class, which is not very flexible. In addition, the high burst damage of the entire build can support you to complete most of the game content and challenges in the endgame stage in one go, whether the enemy appears as a single target or a group. Of course, Barbarian’s own super high defense ability allows you to easily survive in such a very difficult battle. However, this Mighty Throw Barbarian build is not completely without disadvantages. The first and most important thing is that it has a high gear dependency, such as The Third Blade just introduced. After you have it and spend a lot of D4 Gold to upgrade it to the highest level, the cooldown time of the main skills in the entire build will become very short, thus having a higher damage ability. Not only that, when you use this build to fight some battles, you also need to carefully manage Fury you generate to ensure that your damage output is always stable, otherwise you are likely to be hit by enemies or bosses and cause a lot of damage when you lack Fury. Most importantly, the player threshold for using this Mighty Throw Barbarian build is actually very high, requiring players to have the ability to accurately rotate skills and strategic positioning, which fundamentally excludes some ordinary players who like to have super defense and damage capabilities but low levels. Skill Selection If you understand the pros and cons of Mighty Throw Barbarian build and continue to use this powerful build, then the following skill selection may be very helpful to you, because it determines whether you can have better damage and defense capabilities in battle. Bash can be regarded as the foundation of the entire build, because it can continuously generate Fury and ensure that Overpower, which has an enormous increase in your damage output, can accurately hit the enemy. For the core skill of this build, you can choose Hammer of the Ancients, which can deal extremely high damage and suppress the enemy. For defense, which you don’t have to worry too much, you can choose Rallying Cry to bring some benefits to your poor movement speed and resource generation. The key point of the entire Mighty Throw Barbarian build is that you must choose Mighty Throw and Steel Grasp for your weapon mastery slots. The former can cause threatening damage to single targets and groups of enemies, and the latter can reduce the distance between enemies and you to deal with critical strikes more effectively and make them more vulnerable. For your boss-only ultimate, Call of the Ancients, which summons Ancients to help you fight and buff you, is probably your best bet. Finally, you can choose Unbridled Rage as your key passive, which increases the damage output of Core skill but requires your Fury. Skill Rotation When you have equipped all the skills in Mighty Throw Barbarian build and enter the battle, you can choose the corresponding skill rotation according to the situation you are facing. When facing a regular single enemy or a group of enemies, you can use Steel Grasp to gather the enemies together first. Then activate Rallying Cry, and your Fury will continue to increase and enter Unstoppable status. After that, you can use Mighty Throw to deal a lot of area damage to the enemy. Repeat this way, basically these enemies will be successfully defeated by you after 2-3 rounds, and reward you with a lot of Diablo 4 Gold. However, when facing a boss, you may need to use Bash first to generate a lot of Fury and apply Overpower to the enemy to increase more damage. After that, you can continue to use Rallying Cry and Mighty Throw, two skills with strong damage, in order. If the enemy you are facing has a high health value, you can use Call of the Ancients to deal more damage. Items Of course, to maximize the effectiveness of Mighty Throw Barbarian build, it is not enough to just select skills. You also need to select some Gear, Legendary Aspects or Gems and so no that can provide buffs to your other attributes. Here are some Diablo 4 Items options worth trying in Season 8, but please note that the statistics are based on PTR and previous seasons, and may change on April 29. Gear Harlequin Crest - All skills have additional ranks and have reduced overall cooldowns. Shroud of False Death - Increases resource generation and improves all stats. Tibault’s Will - While unstoppable, you gain resources and your damage increases. Yen’s Blessing - Activating a skill can cause a non-mobility, non-ultimate skill on cooldown to activate. The Third blade - Turns Weapon Mastery skills into core skills that have no cooldown but consume Fury. Ring of Starless Skies - Rank on your core skills and overall resistance to all elements. Legendary Aspects Aspect of Apogeic Furor - At 10 stacks, ultimate damage bonus and cooldown reset. Aspect of Encroaching Wrath - Weapon Mastery Skill Damage Increase when 100 Fury is consumed. Earthstriker’s Aspect - After 8 weapon swaps, your next non-basic skill becomes Overpowered. Aspect of Limitless Rage - Overflowing Fury Points increases the damage of your next core skill, stacking up to 15 times. Blood Boiling Aspect - when using your core skill Overpower, creates three volatile blood droplets that explode and deal massive damage to enemies. Aspect of Herculean Spectacle - Increases the damage output of Mighty Throw. Gems Ruby - Increases 60 Strength in Armor slot and Increases 90% Overpower Damage in Weapon slot. Elder Sigil - Increased damage and defense against hexed enemies. Phantom Sigil - Increased Overpower damage on hexed enemies. Witching Hour - Core skills are treated as Eldritch. Witchcraft Powers Doom Orb - Enemies take damage from ominous orbs floating around them. Abyssal Resonance - After using its primary resource, it explodes, dealing shadow damage to enemies. Shaken Soul - Eldritch effects apply vulnerability to enemies. Aura of lament - Enemies tainted by Aura of lament are slowed down and you regain 3 primary resources every second. Aura Specialization - Increases critical strike damage against enemies within the aura effect range. Twilight Warding - Gain a barrier of 30% of your maximum life every 14.5 seconds. The above are the specific descriptions of Mighty Throw Barbarian build that may play a big role in Diablo 4 Season 8 and some of the build options that can be selected for it. Once again, the statistics and attributes of some of the items or skills recommended for you here are based on the just-concluded S8 PTR and previous seasons, and may be subject to some changes in the future. We will also continue to pay attention and wish you a happy game!Mar-25-2025

Diablo 4 Season 7 Fugitive ...
The arrival of Diablo 4 Season 7 introduces a brand new currency, Fugitive Heads. This is not only a necessary material for making Occult Gems, but can also be transformed into Restless Rot, which is an important resource for improving builds, so it is highly sought after by players in the new season. However, Fugitive Heads are very rare, and they are even rarer than Greater Affixes Legendary items under Torment difficulty. This is interesting for ordinary items, and it is entirely possible that players will not see a Head until they reach very high Paragon levels. Now let’s guide you step by step on how to get these Fugitive Heads. Using Draught Of Whispers First, if you have Draught of Whispers, use it first. This is a consumable elixir in Diablo 4 that increases your chance of encountering Fugitive Heads by 50%, and the effect lasts for one hour. Draught of Whispers can come from multiple sources, for example, they can come from Whisper Caches, or from Rootholds Dungeons, or from Headless Husks, all of which increase your chances of getting Fugitive Heads. Playing On The Highest Difficulty Next, you should play with the highest difficulty. You may have noticed that Fugitive Heads only drop at Torment difficulty. So if you play at any difficulty below Torment, you will hardly get any Fugitive Heads. And since the chance of getting Fugitive Heads increases with Torment Difficulty Tier. So ideally, if you want to maximize your farming efficiency, you should farm in Torment IV, if your character is capable of doing so. So, if you want to get more Heads in a short period of time, don’t be stingy about investing Diablo 4 Gold in your build to better optimize the build effect. Farming Headhunts By far, the best source of Fugitive Heads is Headhunts. These Headhunts are the new seasonal areas in Diablo 4, and all you have to do is go there and start doing Whispers, any Whisper objectives will do. This is because when you complete any Whisper objective in the new Headhunts area, Exposed Roots will spawn around. You should click on these Exposed Roots, and then a bunch of random things will happen. Of course, the most anticipated result is that after clicking on Exposed Roots, a boss will be summoned, so you have a better chance of getting a Fugitive Head drop. So you should run around in Headhunts and click on all Exposed Roots you find. If you are lucky, then clicking a few times will summon a boss. You know the boss has been summoned when you get a ping on your mini-map, but other people will get this prompt too. So if someone else clicks on Exposed Roots and then summons a boss, your map will also ping, and you should go there. So once your map pings, you know the boss will eventually spawn at this location. Now, this boss could be a Headless Husk. Unfortunately, you won’t drop a Fugitive Head when you kill it, but the boss itself has a random chance of spawning a Fugitive Head. The chance of a Fugitive Head spawning increases with each Difficulty Tier, and also with your Draught of Whispers applied. This is why you have to play on the highest difficulty, and ideally with Draught of Whispers buff. For example, if you play on the highest difficulty, Torment IV, and have Draught of Whispers buff applied, there is a 15% chance of a Fugitive Head spawning instead of a Headless Husk. The chance of this happening is less on lower difficulties, though, and this only applies to Torment Difficulty. Running Rootholds Dungeon Aside from that, Fugitive Heads can also be obtained from Rootholds Dungeon. Rootholds are mini-dungeons in Diablo 4 Season 7 that operate similarly to Nightmare Dungeons. To get into it, you need to prepare some Whispering Wood Sigils. These Sigils come from Whisper Caches, so when you farm Fugitive Heads in Headhunts, you can also get these Whispering Wood Sigils in your inventory by completing Whispers. When you enter Rootholds, you will go through a dungeon, and at the end of the dungeon you will meet a boss. This boss has a chance to be a Headless Husk and also has a chance to be a Fugitive Head. Unfortunately, the chance of them being Fugitive Heads is not very high. I think this way of collecting Fugitive Heads is not better than Headhunts. Because the chance of getting Fugitive Heads from Rootholds is very low, and it takes longer. Therefore, I only recommend going to Rootholds to get Fugitive Heads if you need items with Greater Affixes or if you have already completed all Headhunts and are waiting for the next Headhunt to appear. Summary Finally, let’s summarize it once more. We recommend that you prioritize collecting Fugitive Heads while running Headhunts, and don’t forget to run around completing Whisper objectives during this time, which will spawn Exposed Roots for you. You should click on all of these Exposed Roots and try to get the boss to spawn, and if any other player spawns a boss, you should also run to that place so that you have a chance to spawn and drop Fugitive Heads. If you have completed all Headhunts areas, then you can go into Rootholds Dungeon and try to get Fugitive Heads from there. Remember, for both Rootholds and Headhunts, you should use Draught of Whispers if you have them, as they increase your chances of getting Heads. If you are short of these items, then you might as well pay attention to iGMeet Discord, where the giveaway channel occasionally launches some sweepstakes. So hurry up and get active here. Maybe you will be the next lucky person!Jan-23-2025

Diablo 4 DLC: What Are The ...
Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2 are two classic dungeon crawlers, in which players need to face numerous enemy attacks, collect loot, upgrade the character’s strength, and build their own powerful combat style. Although the two games have many similarities in core gameplay, they have obvious differences in specific design and experience, attracting different groups of players with different preferences. Although Path of Exile 2 is still in early access, Diablo 4 has launched a complete DLC. But Path of Exile 2 still shows a lot of impressive potential and is better than Diablo 4 in some aspects. Since the story content of PoE 2 has not yet been fully presented, this article will mainly focus on the differences in game mechanics, combat systems, character construction, etc., to help players understand the unique charm and respective advantages of these two dungeon crawler masterpieces, and at the same time explore the advantages that PoE 2 may bring when it is officially released in the future. Advantages Of Diablo 4 Seasonal content is a major feature of Diablo 4, and to participate in these unique season events, players need to create a dedicated seasonal character. These characters are deleted at the end of the season and are designed to provide players with a short-term experience focused on new content. Although temporary, each season introduces new content and gameplay that covers multiple aspects of the game. These seasonal updates not only optimize existing mechanics but also bring new free content to provide players with freshness and lasting appeal. If players do not want to invest time in a character that will be deleted, you can always choose to create a permanent character and focus on the base game. The season does not restrict this permanent character, but cannot experience seasonal content. Diablo 4 also provides players with a unique sense of satisfaction with its rich loot system. The game features a huge amount of equipment and Diablo 4 Gold drops, from which players can filter out the weapons and other items that best suit their characters. The types and levels of loot far exceed many similar games in quantity, giving players something to look forward to after each defeat of an enemy or boss. Each class in Diablo 4 has its own unique skills, fighting styles, and operating experience. These differences make each class unique in the game. In the setting of seasonal characters, different class characteristics are combined to encourage players to try new game styles, making each season fresh. In addition, players can freely adjust the appearance when they first create a character, including hiding the character’s helmet and so on. Advantages Of Path Of Exile 2 Although early access to Path of Exile 2 requires a specific paid version to enter, it is worth mentioning that once the game is fully released, it will be completely free for players to play. And with the release of the official version, POE 2 will introduce up to 12 classes, providing players with more diverse choices. Even in the current early access, the game already provides players with six classes to choose from. In contrast, the number of classes in Diablo 4 is only five without obtaining DLC. And the classes in POE 2 not only have an advantage in number but also reflect a high degree of flexibility. Classes also determine your starting point on the vast passive skill tree. However, no matter what your starting point is, players can freely plan their development direction and gradually unlock any passive skills they want. In addition, POE 2 not only makes characters stronger through upgrades but also provides permanent attribute upgrades by completing tasks and defeating optional enemies. The skills and combat style of the player’s character are not only determined by the class but also greatly affected by the selected weapon. This mechanism allows each class to show different combat capabilities according to the changes in weapons, bringing great freedom. Besides the basic classes, as the game progresses, players will also be able to unlock Ascension Classes after completing hours of adventures. Players can freely decide to keep the basic classes, focus on current skills and abilities, or turn to new Ascension Classes to explore different play styles. In addition, every time you leave a town in Path of Exile 2, the map area that the player enters is a newly generated map instance. This design ensures that, even if the player uses the same character multiple times, or switches between multiple characters repeatedly, they will not pass through repeated maps. In summary, the differentiated design of the two games makes them attractive, and no matter which style you prefer, you can find fun in them. In the future, after the full release of Path of Exile 2, whether its potential will be fully realized and whether it can challenge the status of Diablo 4 is worth waiting for. In addition, you can always pay attention to the giveaway channel in iGMeet Discord, which often holds various lucky draws. Come and join and try your luck!Dec-12-2024

Diablo 4 Season 6: How To U ...
With the continuous update of Season, except for the newly added Class Spiritborn, the five major Classes in Diablo 4 series of games have also received some updates in Class Mechanics and content. If you want to know more about Class you are playing, you must know about these updates. The corresponding situation of the five Classes and the new Mechanics they have obtained are: Druids have Spirit Boons, Necromancers have a Book of Dead, Rogues can Specialize, Barbarians have an Arsenal of Weapons. And Sorcerers have Enchantments. If you are a Sorcerer player, you will find that Enchantments Mechanism can bring you a lot of benefits in Battle. This can not only help you increase the probability of winning Boss and get more Diablo 4 Gold, but also further broaden your Combat style and enrich the game experience. Based on this, we will introduce how to use this Mechanism for the majority of Sorcerer players. Sorcerers Enchantments Overview A new Mechanic for Sorcerers Class, Enchantments are a powerful addition to Sorcerers Class without requiring much in the way of Items or conditions to activate them. They allow Sorcerers to activate additional Passive Buffs by Equipping Spells to two unique Slots, and every Skill available to Sorcerers gets its own unique Enchantment effect. This process is simple, but the benefits are huge. It also allows Sorcerers to customize their Builds with more Skills, Gear, and Paragon Points, further Leveling up their Combat Abilities. Enchantments also let you customize your Build with a Runewords-like System that triggers unique effects, based on your Slotted Skills, when assigned. How To Unlock Sorcerers Enchantments In Game? Players can only Unlock Enchantments in-game when they reach Level 15. Not only that, you also need to have the right of access to them, which can only be obtained after completing Legacy of Magi Quest. Players can complete this quest in the southwest area of Fractured Peaks. If you want to Unlock Enchantments Mechanic as soon as possible, it is imperative that you complete this Quest, otherwise it will be useless even if your game character is well above Level 15. After completing Quest and successfully Unlocking Enchantments, the unique Passive Skill effect of each Ability will appear below its normal effect description. Players can hover over Ability to view Passive Skill effect it provides after Enchantment. Even currently locked Skills can be viewed. In addition, the player’s second and final Enchantment Slot can be Unlocked at Level 30. Once Unlocked, you can activate two Enchantment effects, forming a highly customized and interactive System that can completely subvert your previous Build and exert unlimited power in future Battles. How To Open Enchantments Menu? In order to better view and use Enchantments Mechanic, players need to fully understand the relevant menu of Enchantments. If you want to check your Enchantments, first open Character and Inventory screen, then switch to “Skills” menu. In this menu, you can see all Items you’ve acquired with Skill Points, as well as Enchantment effects associated with each Skill. In addition, each Sorcerer Ability comes with a Passive Enchantment that only activates when placed into one of two Unlockable Slots. However, if you want to check these Slots, you need to click Skill Assignment option first, because Sorcerer Enchantments do not have their own menu like the new Mechanics of other Classes. Once clicked, the screen will display all Skills that the player currently has Equipped, which can be dragged to a new position on the action bar at any time. In addition, at this time, two orbs will appear at the bottom of the screen, just above Skill Bar. Some people simply call them Enchantments “menu”, but they are actually just an addition to Skill Assignment screen. Once you Unlock Enchantment Slot, these two orbs are where you place Skills to activate their unique Passive Buffs. Sorcerers Enchantments Passives And Synergies Sorcerer’s Enchantments are present on every single Spell in Sorcerer’s Wheelhouse, but can only be used if a Skill Point is assigned to the corresponding Parent Ability. In addition, Skill Points granted by Equipment do not count towards this part, and Skill does not have to be a Skill that Sorcerer uses in regular Rotation. As long as you use Skill Points for a Skill, you can insert the relevant Enchantments. Enchantments Mechanism can help players enhance various Sorcerer Builds, and the specific benefits depend on how you insert Enchantments to Stack with other benefits your character has. For example, if you want to occasionally Chill Enemies while using Lightning Builds, or gain benefits by Hitting Chilled Foes, you can assign Frost Bolt to Enchantment Slot to add Chill to other Attack Modes. This is just one example of how to use Enchantment. Players can explore more Combat possibilities in the game to find the most suitable play style. That’s all you need to know about using Sorcerer Enchantments in Season of Hatred Rising. If you want to share more ideas about playing Sorcerer Class, you can enter iGMeet Discord to communicate with other players. In addition, the second giveaway event for Diablo 4 Season 6 is being held here. The event will draw 20 players on October 28, each of whom will receive 100x Duriel Materials, 100x Andariel Materials, 500x Living Steel and 500x Exquisite Blood.
