Diablo 4 Season 7: Hunting Down The Reborn Mephisto And Starting A New Adventure

Diablo 4 Season 9’s Reliquary Battle Pass follows the style of Season 8, splitting the original Battle Pass into four parts. The developers explained that they wanted players to use Platinum for whatever they wanted, but the fact is that it made everything more complicated. The new Reliquary Battle Pass is far less simple and intuitive than the original Battle Pass, and players have also reported that it gives them fewer rewards. Season 9 Reliquary Battle Pass Reliquary Battle Pass is divided into three different categories, and all but the free Battle Pass requires Platinum to unlock. Unlike Diablo 4 Gold, Platinum can only be got by topping up and cannot be dropped in the game. The free part of the battle pass is Sins of the Horadrim Reliquary, and you can also get each one free item in Weapon, Beast, and Armor Reliquaries. Premium Battle Pass (1,000 Platinum) includes the rewards from Free Battle Pass, plus all three Reliquary rewards, which unlock The Iron Demon Armor Set. Deluxe Battle Pass Bundle (2,800 Platinum) includes all the rewards, plus The Iron Demon Armor Set, plus two additional cosmetic items, Chains of the Iron Demon (Back Trophy) and Scapegoat (Pet). Most of the rewards in the battle pass are cosmetic, which simply change the appearance of your Diablo 4 items and do not provide any improvements to your character. If you don’t like the cosmetics in the Reliquary Battle Pass, then there is no need to unlock Premium or Deluxe Battle Pass. How To Unlock The Rewards On The Battle Pass? To unlock the content in the battle pass, you need to complete quests or kill demons to earn Favor tokens. Favor tokens replace the previous battle pass progress. After you get enough Favor tokens, you can unlock any unlockable item. But the drop rate of Favor Tokens is far lower than that of Diablo 4 gold. You can only get one or two Favor Tokens at a time. And Favor Tokens have a stacking limit, you can only stack up to 99. However, they will not disappear with the end of the season, and you can use them to unlock the battle pass of the next season. Season 9 Reliquary Battle Pass Rewards: Free Battle Pass (Sins of the Horadrim Reliquary) 6 Favor Tokens: Door of the Iron Demon (Town Portal) 2 Favor Tokens: Nightslayer’s Crossbow (Cosmetic Crossbow) 2 Favor Tokens: Nightslayer’s Mace (Cosmetic Mace) 2 Favor Tokens: Nightslayer’s Dualaxe (Cosmetic Glaive) 8 Favor Tokens: Eventine (Horse Mount) 5 Favor Tokens: Nightslayer’s Barding (Horse Armor) 5 Favor Tokens: 100 Platinum 5 Favor Tokens: 100 Platinum Bonus Reward: Claws of the Iron Demon (Cosmetic Gloves) Weapons Reliquary (Premium) 2 Favor Tokens: Free Nightslayer’s Bomb (Cosmetic Focus) 3 Favor Tokens: Premium Torch of the Iron Demon (Cosmetic Sorcerer Staff) 3 Favor Tokens: Premium Greataxe of the Iron Demon (Cosmetic Two-Handed Axe) 3 Favor Tokens: Premium Ax of the Iron Demon (Cosmetic Ax) 3 Favor Tokens: Premium Brand of the Iron Demon (Cosmetic Sword) 3 Favor Tokens: Premium Greatsword of the Iron Demon (Cosmetic Two-Handed Sword) 3 Favor Tokens: PremiumFork of the Iron Demon (Cosmetic Polearm) Bonus Reward: Fetters of the Iron Demon (Cosmetic Boots) Beasts Reliquary (Premium) 2 Favor Tokens: Free Nightslayer’s Stiletto (Cosmetic Dagger) 10 Favor Tokens: Premium Ferrukal, Thrall of Iron (Cat Mount) 7 Favor Tokens: Premium Ferrukal’s Saddle (Cat Armor) 5 Favor Tokens: Premium The Iron Flame (Mount Trophy) 6 Favor Tokens: Premium Little William (Pet) 8 Favor Tokens: Premium The Scarred Mare (Horse Mount) 5 Favor Tokens: Premium Bridle of Scars (Horse Armor) Premium Bonus Reward: Bonds of the Iron Demon (Cosmetic Pants) Armor Reliquary (Premium) 2 Favor Tokens: Free Nightslayer’s Scythe (Cosmetic Two-Handed Scythe) 15 Favor Tokens: Premium Nightslayer Spiritborn Armor (Cosmetic Armor Set) 15 Favor Tokens: Premium Nightslayer Necromancer Armor (Cosmetic Armor Set) 15 Favor Tokens: Premium Nightslayer Druid Armor (Cosmetic Armor Set) 8 Favor Tokens: Premium Gates of the Iron Demon (Town Portal) 15 Favor Tokens: Premium Nightslayer Rogue Armor (Cosmetic Armor Set) 15 Favor Tokens: Premium Nightslayer Barbarian Armor (Cosmetic Armor Set) 15 Favor Tokens: Premium Nightslayer Sorcerer Armor (Cosmetic Armor Set) Premium Bonus Reward: Crest of the Iron Demon (Cosmetic Helm) and Cage of the Iron Demon (Cosmetic Chest Armor) Compared to previous battle passes, Season 9 gives players less Platinum. The rewards for Season 7 battle pass still gave players 700 Platinum, but the Season 9 Reliquary Battle Pass doesn’t give that much. Another point that players complain about is the bundle. Players can use 500 Platinum to unlock a single Reliquary, and 1500 Platinum is required to unlock three Reliquaries. However, players can use 1000 Platinum to unlock Premium Battle Pass, which is undoubtedly a more economical choice. However, once the player has unlocked one of Reliquary in advance, he can no longer unlock Premium Battle Pass, which is definitely a rather weird design. Many players have expressed dissatisfaction with the new Reliquary Battle Pass, both in terms of perfunctory content and unreasonable unlocking methods. The developer said that they have heard the feedback from players, but it may take until Season 10 or even 11 to make improvements.

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!

The exciting Diablo 4 Season 8 is finally here! To be honest, this season has changed a lot compared to the previous ones. On the one hand, they have increased the difficulty of the game, especially the difficulty of challenges such as Penitent Difficulty has been greatly increased; on the other hand, XP rewards in the new season have been slightly weakened compared to Season 7. In Season 6, it took players an average of 15 to 17 hours to reach level 60, while Season 7 took 9 hours, basically half of the former. The progress of Season 8 will be between the two, taking about 10 hours. Therefore, we want to know how to maximize the leveling speed and how to maximize the player’s combat power to break through the higher level Torment. Preparation So, let’s start from the beginning. Here are some things you need to do before you really start leveling. First, you need to create a character and make sure to choose to skip the campaign. Then, we can jump directly into the leveling stage. It is recommended that you start with Normal difficulty first, although Normal rewards fewer XP than higher difficulties like Hard or Expert. However, the increase in difficulty and the significantly increased time required to kill each enemy is not really worth it. If you luck out and get some incredible drops during your leveling process and end up with a very powerful build earlier than you expected, you may be able to choose Hard level, depending on how things go after you enter the game. In addition to this, you can also visit Pet tab and equip a pet to run around and pick up Diablo 4 Gold and materials for you, saving you time. It is worth noting that before you continue to advance any content, you need to talk to your Mercenaries immediately, unlock and equip one. This way, you have a companion to help you as you progress. Levels 1 To 15 Now, let’s talk about how to start actually leveling up in Kyovashad. You actually need to start Raising Spirits Side Quest by talking to a guard on the north side of town. Within seconds, you will be cheering next to the guard and handing in the quest. This will give you a bunch of herbs, which saves you the time of having to collect them in the world yourself. However, Elixirs currently for sale in iGMeet do the same thing, allowing you to skip the time of gathering these materials. Now, when you are ready, you will have a bunch of herbs to make Elixirs, which will increase your XP gain by 5% for the entire duration. Otherwise, we will follow the opening quest of the new season questline, which can also be found by the new NPC in Kyovashad. We will advance to a certain stage until you make your first bottle of Tier 1 Elixir after reaching level 10. Then from then on, Elixir is always effective. Remember, Elixir comes in two levels: basic and advanced. Basic elixirs increase your XP gain by 5%, while advanced elixirs increase your XP gain by 8%, but this is not available until level 50. So once you reach level 50, you can start making and using these elixirs. But before that, you can’t use them. If you are wondering what elixirs you should make ahead of time, please note that the quantity does not really matter, because different classes and builds have different requirements for elixirs. Also, another very important aspect of this season is the new Season Journey, which has changed drastically because Season Blessings have been moved to Season Journey. Previously, they were in the Battle Pass, and you needed to play the game to win Favors, and eventually you could get Season Blessings to increase XP. But now you can get or enhance other season rewards, all of which are in Season Journey. So Season 8 wants you to pay more attention to your Season Journey and complete it as soon as possible, because every time you have a chance to complete any of these goals, the rewards will be more generous, which will make your character better in the long run. On the other hand, the new Battle Pass is not as important in terms of equipment and character development. You can choose your rewards and develop them in a different order, but it is not important for character leveling. Levels 15 To 50 But you don’t have to worry too much, because since you reach level 15, class quests are no longer a problem. Just like we encountered since Season 7, you don’t actually need to do them anymore. Once you hit level 15, you’ll automatically unlock the passives, assuming you’ve done the class quest before. Then you just need to make sure to open your class passives page, like checking your Book of the Dead or something, to activate those new skills that just opened up. Technically, you can still complete the class quest again, and you’ll be rewarded with a special chest that gives you some specific items to help you complete your builds. This is great, but will it be worth spending more time completing them when you understand the actual power of these gear in higher-level content? Probably not at this time. Now that you have a basic build configuration and your class passives unlocked, it’s time to increase the difficulty level to increase your XP drop rate. Remember, you can only do this if you kill all enemies effortlessly, if it takes you several seconds to kill anything, then maybe adjusting the difficulty too high is not a good thing for you. Next, we can just continue with the seasonal quest line, focusing on Apparition Incursions as much as possible. If you want to maintain a consistent and efficient XP farming rhythm, then replace it with Helltide events when the limited-time Incursions are not available, where there will be a lot of high-quality resources. Levels 50 To 60 We need to do this until level 50, and then clean up Strongholds on Normal difficulty as usual. Since these Strongholds will provide the same XP as the final reward no matter what difficulty you are in, there is no need to choose a harder difficulty. You might as well choose Normal difficulty so that you can maximize your time. Note that you need to move back and forth between all Strongholds on the map during this period, which will help you maximize the efficiency of farming XP. In addition to the most difficult Strongholds, you can also continue to do Apparition Incursions and Helltide. But I still want to emphasize the value of dungeon XP farming. Because if you find Tributes with relevant perks during the leveling process, it will become an important source of Masterworking materials, crafting materials, and specific equipment drops, which can greatly improve your leveling efficiency. When you are almost at level 60, or at level 60, it’s time to prepare for Torment 1. You need to change the difficulty to Penitent and upgrade your equipment. It’s time to prepare for the endgame! Anyway, this is my overview of how to effectively and efficiently advance your character leveling progress in Diablo 4 Season 8. But reaching the level cap does not mean the end of the challenge. On the contrary, it is the signal that the game is fully started and you can freely enjoy all the features and mechanics and start your adventure in the dangerous time of Sanctuary.

Hello, everyone. I hope you can upgrade items during the leveling process in Diablo 4 Season 4. The following information in this guide will be useful for you before you reach World Tier 4. If you start to your endgame build tinkering, I will explain what tempering is and how to use it in the game. We will also discuss enchanting your gear. When it comes to Tempering or Enchanting the gear you own, investing in Diablo 4 Gold will make your gear even more perfect. And lastly, I will share with you my logic when it comes to the order of upgrading mechanics. Make sure to check out this last chapter of this passage so you don’t waste tons of gold in the process. So let’s get into it. How Tempering Works in Diablo 4? First, what is tempering? Diablo 4 Season 4 changed a lot of stuff around the loot stats and upgrading items. One of such changes is the addition of tempering, which is a new system of upgrading your items. Prior to Season 4, you would find loot with all the stats already available on the item. And then you would just change one single stat through the enchanting process and upgrade the item to make the stats higher. In Season 4, however, you drop items with less amount of stats available on them than before. Rare items have 2 Affixes, 3 legendaries, and 4 Uniques but then you can add powerful Affixes on an item with tempering. So what tempering does is basically add up to two new powerful affixes to item. However, before you reach World Tier 4 and start dropping in Ancestral item Rarity. You will be able to add only one Affixes. The number of times you can temper an item is limited. And depends on Rarity of the item. Early items will have a limit of three attempts and then we have Ancestral items which drop at World Tier 4. And those allow us to temper 5 times. Important to note is that tempering can be done only for rare and legendary items. Uniques cannot be tempered also bear in mind that when you roll tempered Affixes, you do not have an option to keep the old one. The new Affixes always override the old one. And so there is a risk factor here, especially when you are on your last temper attempt available. So starting the tempering process, you have to go to Blacksmith and click the first tab. The process does not cost any gold but requires a couple of materials. You will get tons of necessary materials as you play the game. I salvage most of my rares and Legendaries I also temper a lot so far. And I was never short on materials for tempering my gear. Whenever I wanted to change my stuff during the leveling process, besides materials, you also need manuals, which are a list of few stat outcomes for tempering. One of the Affixes from the manual will be randomly added during the tempering process. You find manuals by just simply playing the game. They drop just like any other loot. These manuals have different Rarities. And these Rarities is impact the range of values of the stats available with the manual. Basically, the higher Rarity of manual, the better the stats possible manuals are also split into six categories. And these categories work like categories of aspects. Every item type has different possible tempering categories. So for gloves, you can add a utility or offensive category. For pens, you have only defensive or utility categories and so on. The good thing is that once you find the manual, it’s unlocked permanently. So you don’t need to search for it again and again, which is neat. Enchanting in Diablo 4 Season 4 Now let’s briefly discuss enchanting your items. Enchanting is a process which modifies one Affixes available on your gear. To this process cannot change the row-based stats of item like damage dealt on weapons or base armor on gloves. Affixes to be changed are marked with dots and are located under this horizontal line. To enchant your item, you need to go to the occultist and click on the fourth tab. Once you put the item you want to enchant, you can click the icon in the top right corner of enchanting window. To see the potential outcomes of the process. This is super useful to help you understand what stats you can actually get and what are the ranges. When you enchant any item, you get three choices, two new stats and an option to retain the initial Affixes. The enchanting process takes few materials and a substantial amount of gold, the tricky case that every time you enchant the same item. The cost of the process increases, the price of gold can reach insane amounts. So be mindful of it. Upgrading Gear Efficiently During Leveling And let me explain the thought process I use for upgrading any item that I want to use. I think applying this logic may save you a lot of gold during the leveling process. Since we can modify our gear a lot in Season 4. I look mainly for Legendary item drop with good base row power and two out of free stats that are fitting my build. I don’t care for Legendary Power since I can change it easily now with Codex of Power. By the way, the aspects are now permanently unlocked when salvaging an item. And the highest value salvaged will be always available in a Codex of Power, not just the lowest base value like before. I also don’t need perfect free out of free stats because I can swap out one Affixes with an enchanting process. I will always start the process of tinkering an item with tempering. This is because we have a limited number of tempering attempts and the stats available through the tempering process are particularly powerful for build crafting. So if we don’t get the stat from the manual that we wanted with tempering, the item is potentially a bust. This is especially the case for weapons and other item types with offensive category manuals available on them. They are game changers for items, at least for my build. So now let me give you a specific example to showcase this process. I am playing a Frozen Orb build with my Sorceress. Let’s say I found gloves that I want to use that have two good stats on them. First, I go to Blacksmith for tempering. On gloves I can put stats from either utility or offensive category, I found a manual from offensive category called Frost Finesse which has amazing damage boost potential for my build. Especially cold damage and vulnerable damage are very good stats for me. Since Frozen Orb has a 40% chance to make enemies vulnerable and is, of course, cold-based skill. So if I don’t manage to get either of these stats with tempering. I would not use those glows. Similarly to weapons, I want to get a specific stat in tempering that gives me a chance to cast Frozen Orb twice. So by not enchanting nor swapping Legendary Powers first. I potentially save a lot of gold on an item that I wouldn’t use, anyway. But let’s say, I get the tempering that I wanted. I start with the enchanting process to try to get the first start on gloves to improve my build. In case I have bad luck and enchanting gets too expensive. I have done three options. First, I can settle for the sub powerful stat. Next, I can just continue investing gold or I can just stick to gloves that I already have. And lastly, if I get the stats that I wanted on the item. I swap the legendary power to the one I want. Modifying legendary powers should be done last. As it involves no RNG and it’s quite an expensive process to begin with. These are my detailed instructions on how to do Tempering, Enchanting and Upgrading Gear in Diablo 4. I hope these are useful to you.
