Diablo 4 Season 7 Occult Gems: What Do You Need To Craft Them?

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!

April will be a very competitive month. There are three games of the same type, including Diablo 4, that will be updated this month. Diablo 4 is at the end of this month, Path of Exile 2 is at the beginning of this month, and poor Last Epoch is sandwiched in between them. All three games will usher in a new season in April, and all players will have to start from scratch. Whether it is Diablo 4 Gold, Last Epoch Gold or POE 2 currency, they will be reset to zero. There is a lot of new content waiting for players to experience. Diablo 4 has the best graphics and the largest fan base, but this does not mean that Last Epoch and Path of Exile 2 cannot pose a threat to it. In fact, the fan bases of these three games overlap a lot, so they face fierce competition. Diablo 4 Season 8 The new content of Diablo 4 Season 8 is mainly the new pinnacle boss Belial and the new season power Boss Powers. In PTR, this is a more powerful force than Witch Powers in Season 7, and can even serve as an important way to output damage. Therefore, it is obvious that in the builds of Season 8, Boss Powers are more important than Witch Powers. But players should not be too happy too soon. Boss Powers can only be obtained through the seasonal event Apparition Incursions in Season 8. Similarly, if you want to upgrade Boss Powers, you also need to farm Apparition Incursions again and again. There are very few upgrade materials available in the early stage of the game. Even if you reach Torment 1, it takes a long time to upgrade Boss Powers to the maximum rank. To make matters worse, the developers increased the difficulty and reduced the drop rate of legendary items in Season 8. As a result, players will be much slower in the early stage of the game, whether upgrading or farming Diablo 4 Gold, than in Season 7. For casual players, such changes make them not very satisfied. They don’t have many opportunities to get legendary items. Now that the drop rate is reduced, it will be more difficult for them to get legendary items in the new season. In addition, many players are also dissatisfied with the developer’s delay in releasing Season 8. POE 2 Patch 0.2.0 Path of Exile 2 is definitely the strongest competitor of Diablo 4. Although it still lags behind Diablo 4 in terms of graphics, the gameplay depth of Path of Exile 2 is much deeper than that of Diablo 4. It has a rich skill combination and replaces the gold economy in Diablo 4 with a currency system. In comparison, the skill tree bound to the class and the equipment crafting system with great restrictions in Diablo 4 are not good enough. But this also makes Path of Exile 2 very complicated. New players need to learn for a long time to understand the role of various mechanisms. Players who like simple things may prefer Diablo 4. The current game content of Path of Exile 2 is not complete. The game currently only opens the first three acts and the endgame content. In the 0.2.0 patch, the seventh class Huntress and the new endgame boss battle will be added. The new boss is related to Tetzcal, the Blazing Guardian. In addition, new weapons and new unique items will be added to the game. It can be said that the ambition of Path of Exile patch 0.2.0 is very big. However, Path of Exile 2 is currently only a semi-finished product. Players who want to experience POE 2 with 12 classes and a complete 6 acts may have to wait until 2026. Last Epoch Season 2 If you plan to find a balance between Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4, then this balance may be Last Epoch. Last Epoch has a more interesting class system and a complete plot than Diablo 4. Because it is a small studio, the art of Last Epoch cannot be compared with Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2. The official name of Last Epoch Season 2 is The Tombs of the Erased. The main content of the second season is to add some end-game content, introduce a new faction called Woven, and remake of Sentinel class. Last Epoch may not pose too much threat to Diablo 4, but it can be an excellent substitute for Diablo 4. In addition, the original release date of Last Epoch Season 2 was April 2. But since the release date of the new patch of Path of Exile 2 was postponed to April 4, Last Epoch did not intend to compete with it directly, so the release date was postponed for 2 weeks. This is undoubtedly a wise decision. In addition to the above two games, the pixel-style game Legacy of Baal inspired by Diablo 4 will also be officially launched on Steam in the second quarter. It certainly does not pose any threat to Diablo 4. But it can let you find a little fun while waiting for the eighth season. There is still nearly a month before Diablo 4 season 8 is launched. If you are already tired of the seventh season, then these two Diablo-like games can enrich your April.

Diablo 4 Season 7 will soon replace Season 6 and meet with players. Season 7 will be officially launched on January 21, 2025. The theme of this season is Witch Power. Players can obtain 4 different schools of Witch Power by increasing the reputation level of Coven. There are 20 levels of Coven reputation in total. When you open these reputation chests, you can get a variety of equipment, gold, unique items, materials, potions, etc. At the same time as Season 7 is launched, Diablo 4 Season 7 Battle Pass will also be launched. Unlike the reputation reward chests of Coven, Season of Witchcraft Battle Pass will have a total of 90 rewards for players to unlock. Season 7 Season 6 have lasted for a long time. Season of Hatred Rising brings a new class, Spiritborn, to players. This class is very powerful. Apart from the bugs of this class, it is also one of the best classes. At the same time, have you unlocked the rewards of Season 6 Battle Pass? The armory in the Season 6 Battle Pass is really cool. Of course, the armor in Season 7 Battle Pass is also very cool. Compared with the blue armor in Season 6, the armors in Season 7 equipments are dark and mysterious. This matches the theme of Season 7, Witch Power Season. The story on Season 7 is a continuation of season story. Players need to get a task from the Witches of Hawezar faction to find the heads stolen by the Tree of Whispers. These stolen heads will wander around the shelter, looking for a suitable body. Players and Hawezar witch faction are mutually beneficial. Players protect Sanctuary as wanderers, and Hawezar Witch faction teaches players Witch Powers. Battle Pass Battle Pass has a total of 90 unlockable rewards, 28 of which are free and can be unlocked by all players. Battle Pass provides players with resources such as Diablo 4 gold, materials, and buffs. Players who unlock Premium Pass can get all 90 pass rewards. New appearance transmogrifications and mounts are available in Premium Pass, in addition to rewards such as town portal skins, badges, and emotes. How To Progress Battle Pass It is not very difficult to progress to Battle Pass. Basically, as long as you participate in various activities in Season 7, your Progress Battle Pass will naturally progress. There are two most direct ways: Earn Favor Unlock Tiers Earn Favor is the item that players will get in the normal game. It is closely related to Witch season and Tree of Whispers. There are two ways to get Favor: Complete dungeons, kill monsters, and participate in headhunts. Achieve Season Journey Objectives. Unlock Tiers You can upgrade your pass to an Accelerated Battle Pass. Use the last 200 Platinum to jump Tiers.

Battle Pass Rewards Normal Pass (28 Tiers in total): 20 Smoldering Ashes 1 Mount Trophy 1 Title 1 Town Portal 6 Armor Basics 5 Weapon Transmogs Premium Pass (90 Tiers in total): Free Battle Pass Rewards 12 Armor Transmogs 19 Weapon Transmogs 5 Emotes (for, Necromance, Barbarian, Rogue, Druid, and Sorcerer) 2 Mounts 5 Mount Trophies 2 Mount Armors 2 Titles 700 Platinum (across 11 tiers) 2 Town Portals 3 Emblems 4 Headstones Accelerated Battle Pass Rewards: Premium Battle Pass Rewards 20 Tier Skips 1 Emote (for all classes) The biggest prize of the battle pass in the seventh season of Witchcraft is undoubtedly a full set of armor. The name of this set of armor is Grand High Witch Armor. This set of armor looks like an iron statue, and its theme is snake. When players wear this set of armor, they will look like an important member of the coven. At the same time, players who only have free passes can also get good rewards: Black Masquerade set includes five weapon transmogs A set of roleplaying armor with a dress ball theme A new title Special visual effects for the town portal Some Smoldering Ashes of Season Bless However, players with advanced passes can naturally get more. They have two additional sets of suits and can also get two mounts Wightscale and Nightwinder. The basic colors of these two horses are one black and one white, and their bodies are covered with snake scales, which is very cool. For some players who like mounts, these two mounts may be better than Grand High Witch Armor. The above is the general content of Diablo 4 Season 7 Battle Pass. As always, the developers have brought a lot of cool things to the players. Whether it is Witch Armors or the new mounts, they are very attractive. They fit the theme of this season very well. 90 pass rewards sound like a lot, but for players, the more pass rewards, the better!

Each act in Diablo 4 is fascinating with its rich story and challenges. They are not a short and simple adventure. In fact, they are designed to be quite substantial and varied, and it usually takes more than one night to complete the entire content. The length of each act varies, which also means that some parts may be more time-consuming or more challenging than others, but overall the whole storyline is full of appeal and players can enjoy the process of each link. It is worth noting that Diablo 4 also contains numerous side quests to explore, and completing these quests can sometimes earn Diablo 4 Gold, which is also helpful for improving the strength of the character. However, it is recommended that you should focus on completing the main quests first. The character level cap is 50 before the main quest, so directly jumping into the side quests may cause progress to be blocked. Below, I will take you to understand the overall ranking of each act. 6. Act 3 The third act is the only chapter in Diablo 4 that feels boring to players, and it is also the longest act in the entire game. It contains 16 main quests that may just let players run from one location to another, lacking substantial content and depth. This design makes the game boring in this part, and players can’t even be blamed for choosing to play podcasts to kill time, because the story itself seems meaningless. However, this chapter is not completely without highlights. There are some interesting characters that need to be developed, such as Lillith and Elias. Their story background and motivations could have added more depth and appeal to the game. However, instead of using these more lengthy acts to provide players with more background information about these two opponents, it ends up feeling like a waste of time. This may be because the development team focused too much on the development of the storyline during the creation process, and ignored the playability and fun of the game. 5. Act 4 The fourth act is a relatively compact chapter in Diablo 4, consisting of six main quests, which provides players with enough content to make an informed judgment. In stark contrast to the lengthy third act, the pace of this chapter is significantly accelerated, which is very beneficial for maintaining the player’s interest and motivation. Many characters that appeared in the early stages of the game appear again in this chapter, bringing players a familiar yet fresh experience. The last battle is a duel with Andariel, and this boss battle is particularly important because it involves multiple characters from the previous acts. If more time is given to unfold the stories of these characters, the entire chapter may be richer and more fascinating. For players who are eager to advance the plot, you may be surprised at how quickly you complete this chapter. In addition, Mounts are also introduced in the fourth act, which provides great convenience for players when traversing the vast game world, especially horses are very useful for long-distance travel. 4. Act 1 The first act contains 19 main quests, which not only bring players into fierce battles faster but also provide players with flexible game order choices. There is an epilogue before the battle begins. In the short prologue, the protagonist wakes up in a dark woods and prepares to embark on a journey to Kyovashad. From here, players are allowed a certain amount of freedom in the order in which they complete the quests. For example, some may complete Acts 2 and 3 before completing the introductory chapter. A key highlight of this act is that it introduces players to some of the key characters in the game, with Neyrelle’s story being particularly prominent. Her bond with her mother and her backstory gives the character a deep emotional foundation, allowing players to become more engaged with her journey. 3. Act 2 In Diablo 4’s second act, players will face 17 main quests. The climax of this act is the battle against the greatest enemy of the main quest, Astaroth. This epic boss battle is not only a contest of strength, but also a conflict of emotions. There is a fascinating thread in the story that tells of Donan’s relationship with two druids and their journey together to defeat Astaroth when they were young. Unfortunately, over time, the two druids came under the influence of Lilith, who brought Astaroth back for this decisive battle. Donan’s tragedy is that Astaroth was brought back using his son as a vessel, which makes Donan take on the stakes of the end of the world on a more personal level. This deep emotional entanglement and moral dilemma adds more depth and complexity to the game. 2. Act 5 In Diablo 4’s fifth act, players will face 22 main quests. This act is a major turning point in the game, uniting the characters from the first half and really allowing the story to begin to develop. Although it is a long chapter, numerous events occur, and players need to move to various corners of the map to complete various quests. A major focus of this chapter is Elias and his apparent immortality. Players will encounter Tree of Whispers and eventually help find Elias’s weakness. This process is full of challenges and surprises, and gives players a deeper understanding of Elias’ true identity. “Beneath the Wine-Dark Sea” quest is a particular highlight of this chapter. In this quest, players are teleported to Epiphysis via a coffin, and this teleportation method is reminiscent of the weirdness of Diablo’s fantasy aesthetic. Even though it’s dark, sometimes players are transported to another world by lying in a coffin, which adds to the mystery and interest of the game.

Act 6 Although the number of quests included in Diablo 4’s Act 6 is relatively small, with only ten main quests, this chapter is undoubtedly the climax of the entire game. In this act, players will go deep into the heart of Hell while enjoying cinematic visuals and narrative techniques. For players who criticized the previous acts for perhaps lacking purpose and depth in expanding the world and lore, Act 6 provides a swift and powerful turn. In this chapter, the character of Lilith finally gets some much-needed character development, and her motivations and backstory become clearer and more engaging. Especially her conversation with Inarius. In the second stage of the boss battle with Lilith, Lilith destroys parts of the game area, making the battle space smaller and smaller until there is almost no room to move. After spending a long time with characters such as Donan, Neyrelle, and Lorath, Act 6 makes players feel that they are a united team fighting together against the armies of Hell. Knowing this basic information will help you better prepare for the upcoming challenges.
