Diablo 4 Season 5: How To Get And Upgrade Compass In Infernal Hordes?

Dear wanderers, it has been two years since the release of Diablo 4 in June 2023. Since last year’s anniversary event was very lively, this year’s event is naturally not far behind. To celebrate the second anniversary of Diablo 4, the developers launched a new Event Reliquary and returned to Mother’s Blessing Event, bringing a massive experience value boost! From June 3rd to the 17th, you will get more Diablo 4 gold and XP drops, and win new special accessories that can only be obtained in Anniversary Event Reliquary. Here, we will take a look at what rewards this two-year anniversary event brings and talk about what we think of this reward. Event Rewards Anniversary Reliquary First of all, for this anniversary reliquary, if you like accessories and like to get them for free, I think it is still worth participating. Because during the event, you can claim the entire Event Reliquary for free, or more precisely, you can get all the items for just 150,000 gold - all the items in it add up to 150,000 gold. Unlike the recent Berserk crossover event, this event does not require players to spend any additional special currency or paid tokens. Players can unlock these cosmetic items directly using Diablo 4 gold.  To be honest, this is a rare thing in Diablo 4, because almost all cosmetic items in the game have been obtained through drops, reputation rewards, or in the in-game store using the game’s premium currency Platinum. Maybe this really breaks my stereotype that Diablo 4 developers are just looking to make money! Just kidding! There are a total of 8 accessories for players to collect in this 2nd Anniversary Event Reliquary, but please note that if you have already obtained the following accessories, you will automatically unlock Burning Dawn Mount Armor and complete Reliquary. Sunflame Lantern Mount Trophy Burning Dawn Banner Mount Trophy Sunraiser Sword Cosmetic Sunflame Sword Two-Handed Sword Cosmetic Burning Barbs Polearm Cosmetic Burning Dawn Bow Cosmetic Mother’s Blessing In addition to Anniversary Reliquary, Mother’s Blessing XP and gold boost event from previous years will also return, and this time it will also bring additional rewards. In addition to receiving 35% more XP and 50% more gold during the event, players can also get additional Collection of Chaos Whisper Cache by turning in Grim Favors, which can obtain more items and materials. If you can seize this opportunity, you may be able to overtake in Season 8 and accumulate more advantages entering the next season. What Do You Think Of This Event? Now that we have talked about the rewards, are the rewards of this event really worth your time? Positive Review First of all, I have to say that being able to exchange gold for cosmetic items is a welcome new feature. After all, the previous disastrous Berserk crossover event rewards were ridiculous, and you had to pay $25 for each cosmetic item. Many players thought that was completely unreasonable. Therefore, this change may be that the developers have finally learned a little from their past mistakes. Hopefully, the developers will make more use of this feature in the future. Since most players probably have a lot of idle gold, it seems natural to let them actually spend it. Negative Review However, more disappointment is still in the rewards of this event. To be honest, season 8 was terrible for all of us, and players often expressed concerns about the lack of content in Diablo 4 and its aggressive monetization strategy. Therefore, the developers do plan to bring more content to players in this new 2nd Anniversary event, thus addressing the complaints that often appear in the community. What they did add some mount skins and weapon skins to the Reliquary system to help players collect cosmetic elements, and hopefully continue to provide regular free content updates for their action RPG. This update does make sense, but I don’t understand why, 2nd Anniversary should be a big celebration, a milestone for the game, but it feels the opposite. Compared to last year’s anniversary, this year feels very bland. While exchanging gold for items is better than boring goblin events or something, I still hope there will be an event that does something cool instead of just some free event-exclusive items. For these cosmetics, if you always have a lot of extra gold accumulated, you can probably get all of them faster than I can pronounce their names. The only thing to note is that you have to claim them before June 17th, what a joke! After all, you only need a few seconds to complete the event. Besides the cosmetics, the return of Mother’s Blessing event is probably the only good thing about this anniversary. Maybe after claiming the rewards, everything will return to the mundane regular farming, which is meaningless. Anyway, I just wanted to share my opinion that to me this Anniversary Reliquary doesn't feel like a celebration at all, and the bland, easy-to-get cosmetics don't really add anything exciting to the game progression. What do you think of this 2nd Anniversary event? See you next time!

A variety of new mechanics have been introduced in Diablo 4 Hatred Rising and Vessel of Hatred DLC. Zakarum Remnants faction serves as one of the primary mechanics, which you can earn Reputation by completing Seasonal objectives. Besides new mechanics, a plethora of new items also show up in this new season. This article introduces a brand new item named Seething Opal. This comparatively rare consumable is aimed at making the progress of farming less hellish. That means if you are interested in doing some hard farming in Season 6, then Seething Opal is essential. Details Of Seething Opal Seething Opals will enlarge the odds of finding specific items, be it Diablo 4 Gold, equipment, or resources, to perform targeted farming. It keeps a tight link to Seasonal progression. Most importantly, it does not interrupt standard Elixirs, and instead, the merits of Seething Opals will stack on top of Elixir, increasing your farming efficiency. The main task of Diablo 4 Season 6 and Vessel of Hatred expansion is to chase down wandering Realmwalkers. Once completing the task to defeat Realmwalkers, a portal to Seething Realm will be created. During Hatred Rising events, monsters and bosses (including Realmwalker and Seething Realm boss) will offer Zakarum Reputation as a reward. But if you are equipped with this new Diablo 4 Seething Opals, you will get Zakarum Reputation whenever you kill enemies, regardless of whether you are in the event or not. Versions Of Seething Opal There are totally five versions of Seething Opal consumables, here lies the details of the bonus on offer: Seething Opal Of Gold Enemies routinely drop additional Gold Kills grants Zakarum Remnants Reputation You have a 15% Experience Buff Seething Opal Of Equipment Enemies routinely drop additional Equipment Kills grants Zakarum Remnants Reputation You have a 15% Experience Buff Seething Opal Of Materials Enemies routinely drop additional Herbs and Crafting Materials Kills grants Zakarum Remnants Reputation You have a 15% Experience Buff Seething Opal Of Torment Enemies routinely drop Artificar’s Stones Enemies sometimes drop Boss Summoning Items or Infernal Compasses as rewards Kills give Zakarum Remnants Reputation You have a 15% Experience Buff Seething Opal Of Socketables Enemies routinely drop additional Gem Fragments Enemies occasionally drop Runes Kills give Zakarum Remnants Reputation You have a 15% Experience Buff Besides Seething Opal of Torment, the remaining of four Seething Opal promise you Zakarum Remnants as a drop. All five Seething Opals will last for 30 minutes and give a buff of 15% to experience after killing enemies, which makes it a core part to grind your Paragon levels. Seething Opal of Torment is designed to provide you Artificier’s Stones as a drop, boss summoning materials, and even Infernal Compasses. If you are desperate to farm Zakarum Repuation, which will grant you affluent rewards, or XP and materials in The Pit or Nightmare Dungeons, please make sure to activate Seething Opal. Given the short duration of Seething Opal, players should make the most of the 30 minutes to kill as many monsters as possible to get more rewards. How To Get Seething Opals? There are three main options for getting more Seething Opal. First of all, the best way to get Seething Opal is to take part in Hatred Rising event. For example, completing Seething Realm dungeon at the end of Realmwalker’s path will guarantee you some Seething Opal once you have successfully slain bosses. And such events are frequently always going on. Because within a few minutes after the previous event ends, a new Realmwalker shows up somewhere in Sanctuary. This process repeats itself, which means you can get a lot of Seething Opal by participating in such events multiple times. According to the game’s settings, players are required to kill Realmwalkers who you can find at the “two-horned portal” icons which spawn randomly. Then enter the portal that appears at the place they die and slay the ultimate boss to embrace Seething Opals that will drop as rewards. The second reliable method is to progress Zakarum Remnants reputation, and earn Seething Opals from Caches. Every new rank you have reached will promise you a Cache which always has some Seething Opals on offer. You can check the progress by communicating with Zakarum Remnants faction vendor just north of Waypoint in Zarbinzet. The third method is to complete objectives in Season Journey, which provides you a plethora of Caches with materials, equipment, and other items being contained. You are required to finish all chapters to get them. That’s all about the new Seething Opals item. For more live advice, enter iGMeet discord. There will be a giveaway event on October 14th in Giveaway channel, where 200 Duriel Materials, 200 Andariel Materials, 500 Malignant Heart as well as 1,000 Exquisite Blood will be given out equally to 10 participants. Believe in your good luck and bring these rewards home! Thank you for reading.

With Diablo 4 Season 4 Loot Reborn update in full swing, there have been many changes to classes in the new season. Among them, Barbarian has more ways to play than ever before, but one of them is the most interesting. Barbarian has experienced many ups and downs in Diablo 4. In the past three seasons, powerful builds like Double Swing and Rend Barbarian destroyed the meta game. However, with Loot Reborn update, a new build has taken over, and that is Bash Barbarian. In this guide, we will talk about what makes Bash Barbarian so good, and all the tips you need to know to build this build. Basic Skill Unlike most builds, Bash Barbarian focuses on its basic skill, Bash. This build can clear the vast majority of seasonal content and defeat the new bosses introduced in Season 4. What’s more important is that Bash will deal damage and stun enemies every four hits. If you have enough Diablo 4 Gold reserves, you can also make it a powerful boss killer with the right upgrades. Speaking of upgrades, Bash has a mandatory upgrade mechanic, and there are two optional upgrades to choose from, including: Enhanced Bash: When you damage a stunned enemy with Bash, you will gain 20% of your maximum health as Fortify. Battle Bash: When you damage a stunned enemy with Bash, you will generate 5 additional Fury. Enhanced Bash can be used as a defensive skill, and Fortify will help you resist most attacks, giving you enough time to get out of danger. Of course, if you need extra Fury, Battle Bash can also meet your needs. Active Skills In addition, you will also need to fill your remaining skill slots. These skills are especially necessary before reaching the endgame. If you are surrounded by monsters, Leap is the perfect way out. If you don’t damage any units, Enhanced Leap will increase your movement speed by reducing the cooldown of skills. If you do damage the enemy, Mighty Leap will add a slowing effect when landing, ensuring that they can’t catch up with you. In addition, War Cry and Challenging Shout will increase your damage and damage reduction, respectively. Enhanced War Cry grants you Berserking. And Power War Cry further increases your damage when there are at least six enemies near you. Enhanced Challenging Shout grants you maximum health when casting, while Tactical Challenging Shout grants you Fury every time you are attacked. Then, Steel Grasp is perfect for taking down some troublesome enemies. Enhanced Steel Grasp makes affected enemies Vulnerable on impact. Fighter’s Steel Grasp grants us Berserking accordingly after we damage the enemy. Note that Wrath of the Berserker is the ultimate skill of this build. Prime Wrath of the Berserker grants you increased movement and Fury generation, and Supreme Wrath of the Berserker grants increased damage during Berserking every time you spend 50 Fury points. Passive Skills Usually, passive skills grant you various buffs, and passives are also divided into a key passive and several secondary passives that support your build. First, let’s talk about the key passive skill of this build, Unconstrained. It increases the duration of any Berserking effect by 5 seconds while increasing its damage by 100%. Since this build relies on Berserking and you being able to maintain its duration, Unconstrained fits perfectly with its buffs. Next, let’s look at the rest of the passive skills: Aggressive Resistance: Gain damage reduction when Berserking is applied. Battle Fervor: Every time your Brawling skill deals damage to an enemy, you gain Berserking effect. Booming Voice: This increases the duration of your Shout skills. Concussion: When using Bludgeoning 2H weapons skill, you have a chance to stun an enemy. This effect triggers on Lucky Hit. Counteroffensive: When your Fortify is over 50% of your maximum health, the damage you deal is increased. Guttural Yell: When you use Shout skills, your damage reduction is increased. Imposing Presence: This increases your maximum health by a certain amount. Martial Vigor: You have increased damage reduction against elite enemies. Wallop: When using Bludgeoning weapons skill, you deal increased damage to stunned or vulnerable enemies. Arsenal System Arsenal System is a unique class mechanic for Barbarians that unlocks when you reach level five. Each Arsenal choice will increase certain types of weapon expertise based on the weapons you frequently use. These expertises you gain will give you certain weapon bonuses. This is also a great way to increase Barbarian damage. For Bash Barbarian, the following expertise options are not to be missed: Two-handed Axe Expertise: You deal extra damage to vulnerable enemies. Two-handed Mace Expertise: You deal extra critical hit damage while Berserking. One-handed Sword Expertise: Your attack speed increases after killing a crowd controlled enemy. One-handed Mace Expertise: You deal more damage to stunned enemies. With these expertises, you can switch between multiple weapons to deal with different situations, so it will be valuable to always have these weapons equipped. Legendary Aspects The best Aspect choices for this build revolve around enhancing your Basic Skills. Aspect of Adaptability: Your Basic Skills deal bonus damage while your Fury is above 50%. Basic Skills also generate bonus Fury when your Fury is below 50%. Aspect of Disobedience: You gain armor stacks every time you deal damage of any kind. Aspect of Giant Strides: You gain a reduction in the cooldown of your Leap skill based on how many enemies you damage with that skill. Aspect of Might: After casting a Basic Skill, you gain damage reduction. Aspect of the Moonrise: When you damage an enemy with a Basic Skill, you gain Attack Speed ​​stacks. After gaining five stacks, you gain Vampiric Bloodrage, increasing your movement speed and the damage dealt by Basic Skills. Mangler’s Aspect: When you damage a Vulnerable enemy, you have a chance to stun them. Rapid Aspect: Your Basic Skills increase your attack speed. Vengeful Aspect: When you turn an enemy into Vulnerable, your critical strike chance increases. Unique Items Finally, let’s talk about some of the key unique items you’ll need to complete this build. First up is Paingorger’s Gauntlets. Every time you damage an enemy with a non-basic skill, you mark that enemy. When you use a basic skill on a marked enemy, the damage you deal is increased and affects all other marked enemies. On the other hand, Ramaladni’s Magnum Opus is also very key. With it equipped, you lose two Fury points per second, but in exchange, your skills deal additional damage for every point of Fury you currently have. That’s all you need to know about making Bash Barbarian worth trying in Season 4. Follow this guide and you’ll be able to find great ways to optimize your Barbarian and get the best power bonuses.
