Diablo 4 Season 4: A Deep Dive Into The Differences Between The Different Whisper Caches

If you are an old player of Diablo series, you may also have this annoyance, that is, frequent season updates are too troublesome. This is not only because the update content of each season is very limited, and players cannot get a deeper game experience, but more importantly, they need to start a new character and build after each season, which greatly disrupts the player’s game plan. Therefore, after 7 seasons of updates, the voices in Diablo 4 community for removing seasonal content are getting louder and louder! They are eager for developers to abolish some repetitive seasonal content and just keep the content updated as in the past. Although the response to Season 7 is still good, and the new Witch Powers are well-liked by players, this cannot cover up the fact that seasonal content is still on the decline. We can even expect that almost after waiting for players to be enthusiastic about this new season mechanism, they will give up continuing this game, and Season of Witchcraft will not be much different from previous seasons. This may be because there are no more new classes in Diablo 4 for players to try, and players don’t want to start a new character again and again, or it may be because many players are really tired of the endgame content that does not challenge anything. Therefore, more and more players have reported that Diablo 4 should have less of these boring and repetitive grinding content, which will only make players more and more disappointed with the game. We are eager for the game to have more improvements in completing tasks, not only in terms of the difficulty of tasks but also in the rewards we can get after completing tasks, including more loot and Diablo 4 Gold drop rate. This will give players more breathing space in the boring grinding life. The Call For Canceling Seasonal Content Is Getting Louder Considering these factors, many Diablo fans have asked developers to cancel seasonal content and move more time to Eternal Realm. What developers need to do is to add more content to Eternal Realm so that players can enjoy the game at any time, rather than moving some of the past seasonal features to Eternal Realm. After all, no one wants to invest a lot of time in a temporary feature that is about to disappear. Many players think that canceling the season update and focusing only on the basic content update and expansion content is a wise choice. Because frequent season updates are completely unfavorable to extending the life of a game. Especially every season update requires players to start from scratch, rebuild a new character build, and restart the campaign, which is really unnecessary. More importantly, it means that all the hard work you put into your character in the previous season will be wasted. Therefore, more players would rather continue to experience new content with existing characters rather than starting from scratch. If someone is really willing to start over, then recreating a small account to experience the game may be a better choice. However, some pessimistic players believe that in order to maximize profits and make money from stores and Battle Pass, the developer will not choose to make changes in order to listen to players’ opinions. But who knows? Also Read: Diablo 4 New Expansion Will Be Delayed Until 2026! Reset Of Seasonal Content Can Still Stimulate Players’ Interest Of course, many players are happy and welcome the reset of the season. They said that it is precisely because of the seasonal content that they have become more interested in the game. Only by setting up new content can players maintain the freshness of the game. However, the balance and improvement of class and build should also be paid attention to, which will make players more willing to spend time to experience the game. A single update cannot improve their sense of participation in the game at all. Therefore, the way to prevent Diablo 4 players from being tired and disgusted with frequent updates and seasonal content is to add Eternal Realm to the original game to add new content, increase the drop rate of Diablo 4 Gold, increase the reward mechanism, and continuously enrich the game to attract more players. Final Opinion In short, although many players resist the frequent updates of Diablo 4, and the voices for the abandonment of seasonal content are also rising, there are also some players who hold the opposite view, believing that seasonal resets are essential, which increases the participation of game players and motivates them to continue to love the game. As for how to coordinate the opinions of various players, I think a better way is probably that the developers of Diablo 4 can add Eternal Realm content, while the seasonal updates remain unchanged, so that the two parts of players with different opinions can return to the game in a unified and reasonable manner. I hope that in the future Season 8, the developers can better balance the two parts of content. Let us look forward to it!

Diablo fans, the exciting March of the Goblins Event is back! After a false start with Mother’s Blessing and Patch 1.5.1, the developers needed a fun new event to rekindle excitement, which is why they’ve brought back the much-praised Goblins Event from Season 4. In this guide, we’ll quickly cover all the details of March of the Goblins Event, including the event time and the rewards you’ll get from it. In addition, we’ll talk about how to maximize the number of Goblins you kill during Goblins Event that just went live in Season 5. Event Time March of the Goblins Event runs from 10 AM PDT on August 27th to 10 AM PDT on September 3rd. The event will last for seven days, so you’ll have plenty of time to slay Goblins and collect plenty of loot and Diablo 4 Gold. In addition, Mother’s Blessing event has also been extended for two days, which means that in the early stage of Goblins Event, you can still enjoy more than 35% XP gain and more than 50% gold coin farming gain. But even if you miss out, the hordes of monsters you’ll kill during the event will still make you a lot of money! Event Details Just like last time, Sanctuary during March of the Goblins Event will be filled with Treasure Goblins. In some cases, you’ll even see them wandering around in pairs. In addition to the increased presence of Treasure Goblins, you’ll also be more likely to find Greed Shrines during the event. As part of the event, activating Greed Shrines will spawn Treasure Goblins, and if you’re quick enough, you can get a lot of gear from them. On top of that, the developers have added a new twist to March of the Goblins Event. Kill World Boss, Avarice the Gold Cursed, and you’ll be able to see a horde of Treasure Goblins pouring out of the portal, which will give players more reasons to defeat Avarice the Gold Cursed outside of the weekly cache. How To Kill More Goblins? This Goblins Event is similar to last season. Any Goblins at level 80 or above will drop Item Power 925 loot, which is the dream item for every player who wants to optimize their build. On top of that, you can also get rare items by farming them, and even have a chance to get Legendary loot bags. So now, if you farm Goblins the right way, you can get a lot of loot, boss materials, and more from there. Next, we’ll explain how to maximize the number of Goblins, Treasure Bags, and Legendary items you can farm as quickly as possible. Crafting Nightmare Sigils To start, all you have to do is craft Nightmare Sigils between level 26 and 30, but higher level Sigils require more Sigil Powder. You’ll need to unlock Nightmare Sigil crafting and higher level Nightmare Dungeons before you worry about Sigil Powder. Once you’ve fully unlocked Occultist ability, you’ll notice a “Salvage Sigils” button on the menu. Click it, and you’ll be able to dismantle any Nightmare Sigils you don’t want. You’ll get some Sigil Powder this way, depending on the level of the original Nightmare Sigils. As for which Nightmare Sigils you should dismantle, prioritize those that are either of a suboptimal level or are too hard for your build to handle. If you need to dismantle more Nightmare Sigils, just run some Nightmare Dungeons and you’ll come back to town with more Sigils. Find Sigils With Extra Shrines Affix Next, look through Nightmare Sigils you made, check Green Affix on Sigils, and find Sigils with Extra Shrines Affix. Like I said before, you can recycle all Sigils you don’t need, make more Sigils, check their Green Affix, and repeat. Run Nightmare Dungeons Fast Once you have a bunch of these Sigils with Extra Shrines Affix, all you have to do is open and run the corresponding Nightmare Dungeons, completing the objectives. But you only need to kill the minimum amount of monsters to advance the dungeon to Boss stage and don’t forget to look for Greed Shrine in the process. Greed Shrine Buff I can’t stress enough that you only need to kill the minimum amount of monsters required to complete the objectives and run through the dungeons as fast as possible. Because during March of the Goblins Event, if you have Greed Shrine effect on you, you have a chance to spawn Treasure Goblins when you kill enemies. So don’t waste time, try to maximize your kills only when you have Shrine effect on you. The best result is still to have a Cursed Greed Shrine, because in this case enemies will constantly spawn above your head. You can also try to lure many monsters to Shrine before activating it. However, this works better in group battles. Killing Pairs Of Treasure Goblins In addition to this, you can also find pairs or even triples of Treasure Goblins randomly in dungeons. These Goblins will drop Rare and Legendary loot bags containing Item Power 925 Gear. Once you reach Boss of the dungeon, you can kill it for the loot and glyph leveling, or you can just teleport out and start the next Nightmare Dungeon and repeat. All in all, this method is not as strong for Sigil Powder as you might think, since you will get a free Sigil after completing the boss, and Goblins themselves have a high chance of dropping Nightmare Sigil, so you should be able to do this an unlimited number of times without running out of Sigil Powder. If you are interested in this event and are eager to exchange new farming methods with other players, you may wish to join iGMeet Discord. In addition, the giveaway channel here will occasionally launch some lucky draws. For example, the recent giveaway on September 2nd includes 1,000 Duriel Materials, 1,000 Andariel Materials, 5,000 Stygian Stones and 5,000 Exquisite Blood. Actively participate, and you may become one of the 10 lucky people who share these rewards!

These 8 tips are useful, especially for newer players, but perhaps even Veterans of the game will find them valuable too. Before entering Diablo 4 Season 4, if you have enough Diablo 4 Items in your inventory, they will help increase your likelihood of defeating your enemies. Let’s jump right into it. 1. Auto-cast Abilities In case you wonder: Auto casting skills do not require any macro, special mouse or external software. You can turn on auto-cast by simply using your keyboard. And here is how: First, go to “options”, then “controls” window. Assign the secondary button of a skill you want to auto-cast to one of the numeric keypad buttons. Those are the 1 to 9 buttons on the right side of your keyboard. Next, with the “Num Lock” function turned on, Hold the assigned numeric key and press “Num Lock” button to turn off the functionality. And there you go. Your character will now auto-cast the ability whenever it’s ready! To disable auto-casting, simply turn on “Num Lock” and press the skill button again. 2. Seasonal Journey Rewards The seasonal journey rewards are account-wide, while Iron Wolf’s rewards are character-based. So when you level your first character, you may be wondering which seasonal rewards to pick up and which ones to leave for later, or perhaps for your alts. You certainly want to pick up all Iron Wolf’s rewards as soon as you unlock them. Each character can level and pick up their own rewards from that vendor. The level of rewards from Iron Wolf’s also seem to be tied to the level you had when you unlocked them, not when you opened the box. So there’s basically no point in holding back. It’s a bit more tricky when it comes to seasonal journey rewards since they are account wide. This means that if you picked a couple of seasonal chapter rewards for your first character, but let’s say then decided to switch a class, you won’t have seasonal journey rewards available on that new character. It’s not a big deal. Besides the potential cool Legendaries, and Uniques that could drop from rewards caches. Luckily, though, the drops are very generous in Season 4, so don’t lose sleep over that. 3. Use Favorite Function The third tip I have for you: use “favorite” functionality. In case you didn’t know, you can mark aspects and items as favorite. When you mark aspect as favorite, it will show up first when you are selecting legendary power from Codex of power. This is a big quality of life thing for overtime. You will replace legendary powers Time and time again. And here’s how I like using this feature for aspects: When I start a new character and get an idea for a skill or build that I want to use, I go to the “collection” section on the pause menu. It’s the only place where you can actually mark aspects as favorites. By the way, the marking is done with a space bar on the PC. Then I go through all the available aspects and mark those that seem applicable to my build. It is a bit of a pre-work, but makes your life so much easier in the long run. So you don’t have to search for a specific legendary power. Every single time you want to switch an item, which is a pain in the ass. Now let’s talk about pieces of gear. You can also mark them as favorite to avoid accidentally selling good items to a vendor or stopping you from mass salvaging items at Blacksmith. To mark a piece of gear, hover over the item and press the button assigned to mark items as junk twice! The first press marks an item as junk, while the second press marks it as favorite. On PC, that’s again a “space bar”. Personally, I like marking all my current equipment as favorite to prevent losing accidentally an item while I am trying out different pieces of gear. 4. Craft Seasonal Potions You can craft seasonal potions with Obols. If you haven’t used seasonal potions yet, make sure to give them a try! Holy Bolt is a particularly strong potion to use as it turns you into a permanent artillery machine. Obols are currency that you normally used to gamble for items. You get Obols from Helltides chests. And considering you will probably spam Helltides all the damn time, you will quickly accumulate a lot of Obols. Once you get a decent set, it’s a good time to spend some Obols on potion crafting. Beware, though, that the cost is quite high with 350 Obols per potion. But I would still suggest that you use Holy Bolts despite the high cost. The power gain justifies the cost as they provide a massive boost to your damage, especially when playing Minion Necromancer. 5. Aspects’ Icons On Items The next tip I got for you is to pay attention to symbols on the items at Blacksmith. So you get inventory full of legendary items. How do you know easily which ones to sell and which to salvage? Go to Blacksmith and salvage the items with the white icon on them. This icon means that the legendary power on this piece of gear is either not unlocked in your Codex of Power, or the value of legendary power on the item is higher than the one you have unlocked in Codex of Power. So whichever is the case, you definitely want to salvage this item unless you want to use it. There is also another red-ish icon, which means that salvaging this item unlocks a new cosmetic look. These icons, unfortunately, were not visible so easily when opening inventory, without going to an NPC like Blacksmith or vendor. To see them in your inventory. Without going to NPC, you have to hover over an item and look for an icon with a text explanation at the bottom of the item description. This can be unfortunately easy to miss, especially when you have to compare function turned on. This way, the item description often does not fit into the screen and requires you to scroll down to see the icon. It’s kind of annoying and I hope they will change it in the future. 6. Enchanting Affixes Preview You can check possible Affixes when enchanting an item. So you get a nice piece of gear but want to change one affix on it. You go to Occultist and enchant that statistic, but how do you know whether you should keep that new Affix or perhaps roll further? Here’s where the icon located at the top-right corner of Enchanting Window comes to the rescue. It shows the list of all possible Affixes to be rolled and also their ranges! You can actually also access this information on consoles. To do that, simply press “triangle” or “Y” button at the Enchanting window. 7. Farm Blood Maiden Spam Blood Maiden in Helltides for great XP and loot! Helltides has been an awesome place to both level up and get great loot in the process. I strongly recommend you to check out this place Located in every Helltide invaded area, which has an Altar with three pillars. Pillars can be activated by inserting Baneful Hearts, which are dropped across Helltides. By the way, you keep Baneful Hearts after Helltide finishes while all unused Cinders are lost after the current Helltide event ends. When all three pillars are activated, waves of enemies will spawn in that location. And when enough demons are defeated, the boss will spawn the Blood Maiden. She can be a tough enemy who has three main mechanics: First, she spawns disciples who are tougher Elites mobs. You definitely want to deal with them fast so you don’t get overwhelmed later on. She also casts fire rings around random players. When you get one on you, move away from the boss and other players to avoid killing everyone. And lastly, she will create an expanding circle, dealing with quite high damage. Just simply dodge it. When defeated, Maiden will drop a lot of items with some legendries plus crafting materials. And players who contributed more Baneful Hearts to activate pillars may get more loot. So don’t be a cheap bastard. 8. Use Profane Mindcages Speaking about Helltides, use Profane Minds to boost experience and cinders. Have you noticed Profane Minds in your second inventory tab? This item increases the level of enemies in Helltide by 10, for 60 minutes! As far as I know, ten levels above yours is the cap for bonus experience in Diablo 4, so the boost works great. Using Profane Minds is a great way to level up faster and get tons of cinders in the process. Don’t be too stingy with them as you will drop Profane Minds in Helltides, anyway. And here are a few things to consider: First, the boost lasts 60 minutes, so activate it when you are planning to have a bit longer session. Next, dying with Profane Mind actively disables the boost, so use it when the current Helltide enemies are not posing too much threat. And enemies level is capped to 50 in World Tier 1 and 2. So it does not make sense to activate this boost if you are in that Tier while being above level 40. These are my gaming experiences, I hope they are useful to you.
