Diablo 4 Season 7 Lunar Awakening Event: What Rewards Can You Get From This Returning Event?
With the start of the new Lunar Year, Diablo 4 Lunar Awakening event has returned to the Sanctuary. This is a limited-time event that celebrates Lunar New Year with a series of in-game rewards and buffs, allowing the fiery New Year atmosphere to spread to the game.
Lunar Awakening Event Overview
Just like last year, Lunar Awakening event will be available in Seasonal and Eternal Realms. This event starts at 10am PST on February 4 and lasts for 2 weeks until 10am PST on February 18.
During this event in Diablo 4 Season 7, all Shrines in the Sanctuary will be transformed into snake-themed Lunar Shrines, which not only have new appearances, new icons on the map, but these Shrines will also be affected by a phenomenon that gives them amazing powers. Activate any of these Shrines to earn 100% extra XP for 2 minutes and gain enhanced powers. They are charged with earth energy that manifests as radiant light.
Once activated, these Lunar Shrines unleash Miserly Spirits, bringing rewards and the coveted Ancestral Favor Reputation.
There are a total of 10 Ancestral Favor Reputation Levels to earn during this event, with rewards including Diablo 4 Gold, Resplendent Spark, and 6 different Lunar-themed cosmetic rewards to unlock, including the new Trag’Oul’s Consort mount. Once you’ve cleared all Reputation Levels, you can continue to earn additional rewards in the form of Unceasing Gifts from the Ancestors caches and collect event cosmetics at Ked Bardu.
Lunar Shrines Effects
In addition to special enemy drops, these Lunar Shrines grant 100% extra XP for 2 minutes and unique type-based enhancements.
- Artillery Shrine: Casters have a chance to summon a Holy Bomb.
- Blast Wave Shrine: Each explosion summons a chain of bombs.
- Channeling Shrine: Increases attack speed and a chance to reset cooldowns.
- Conduit Shrine: Summons frequent, powerful lightning strikes.
- Greed Shrines: Chance to summon a Treasure Goblin, killing them can net you some nice loot.
- Lethal Shrine: Chance to instantly execute the monster hit, causing surrounding monsters to be terrified. This includes elites, but not bosses and other players.
- Protection Shrine: Reflects all damage you take, with the amount of damage reflected proportional to level and difficulty.
Luckily, these Lunar Shrines can be found throughout dungeons and open world areas, offering lucrative opportunities to collect rare items and speed up your progress.
Event Rewards
As we said before, during the event, your Ancestral Favor Reputation will increase as you activate Lunar Shrines and kill enemies. This lets you redeem Unceasing Gift from the Ancestors rewards, including six Lunar-themed cosmetics, crafting materials, and a coveted new mount.
Additionally, Tejal’s shop has Lunar Awakening Cosmetics and Armor sets for sale, such as Dragon of the Lonely Moon Mount armor and Scholar of the Lonely Moon outfit available for Sorcerer class. Since opportunities are limited, you’ll want to grab them before February 18, 2025.
In addition to the rewards, the event also lets you accelerate your character progression. This is prime time to level up quickly and optimize your build to better prepare for the endgame grind of Diablo 4 Season 7.
However, Weapon Transmogs, Tattoos, and Mount Trophy offered by this year’s Lunar Awakening event are exactly the same as last year, so if you participated in Lunar Awakening last year, the only new thing for you is the new mount. The new mounts look like a mix of the horses from Crypt Hunter Pack and last year’s event horses, but at least there’s something to earn in the game.
To be honest, event rewards like this are more worth the player's time, rather than effortlessly logging into the event to get free cosmetics from the store like Halloween event. After all, a prize that is available to everyone is equal to a prize that is owned by no one.

Season 7 Patch 2.1.1 Notes
In addition, a new patch for Diablo 4, Patch 2.1.1, will be available on the same day as Lunar Awakening event begins. The patch brings quite a few bug fixes, most notably:
- Increased frequency of Forgotten Altars spawning
- More Raven of the Tree in Headhunt areas
- Additional UI elements for tracking progress in Headhunts
- 2 new Whisper Bounties
- UI tweaks
- New button in Armory to easily remove gear
- Adjustments to Armory locations in multiple cities
Diablo 4 Season of Witchcraft is a welcome change for fans of the action RPG, whether you’re a die-hard fan of the D4 series or just want to take a break from Path of Exile 2 map. While there are inevitably some issues with the new season, the release of the latest Patch 2.1.1 will make your life smoother, whether you’re still unlocking Witchcraft Powers or working on getting the perfect gear combination.
The above is all the content of the recent Diablo 4 Season 7 update. As long as you can seize the opportunity of this Lunar Awakening event, you can not only get a lot of rare theme prizes but also help your character to upgrade quickly and survive better in the danger-ridden shelter.

Diablo 4 DLC: How To Find T ...
In Diablo 4 DLC Vessel of Hatred, players will need special Items and Equipment to Kill Enemies more efficiently and advance the game’s Plot and Quests while they are on various Adventures and Battles. In fact, Tenets of Akarat scattered throughout Nahantu are such a key Item. Tenets of Akarat are similar to Altars of Lilith. Only by finding and collecting most of Tenets of Akarat can players increase their Reputation in the new Zone of the game. From then on, you can get some Diablo 4 Gold and Skill Points. However, unlike Altars of Lilith, players need to solve some related Puzzles to start looking for and getting Tenets of Akarat, and Attribute improvements they provide are time-limited, not permanent. Based on this, we not only provide players with how to solve 4 Tenets of Akarat Puzzles, but also provide the specific Locations where 10 main Tenets appear, so that players can find them more quickly in the game. What Is Tenets Of Akarat Puzzle? As mentioned earlier, although Tenets of Akarat and Altars of Lilith have some similarities, their differences are also worth players’ careful handling. One of them is that when facing Tenets of Akarat, players cannot directly claim it and solve it, but need to Release Tenets from Mephisto’s Black Ichor. In order to Release Tenets, you will face 4 Tenets of Akarat Puzzles, which are: Activating all 3 Statues in time Destroying Ichor with your Attacks Defeating Enemies that spawn from Statue Matching Statues in Background Although there are four Puzzles, fortunately, players only need to solve one of them at a time to continue the game process, rather than facing four Puzzles at the same time. Among them, Puzzle of Activating all three Statues in time is more common and easier. How To Solve Tenets Of Akarat Puzzle? 1. Activating All 3 Statues In Time To complete this Puzzle, you first need to find 3 Lion Statues near Tenets, and then Activate them in time before they go out. Players will have plenty of time to find Statues, so they can plan their future actions. After completing all the steps, Tenets can be Released from Ichor. 2. Destroying Ichor With Your Attacks Solving this Puzzle means that after the player Kills all Enemies around Tenets, some golden balls will appear on the game interface. This means that you still need to continue Attacking Tenets itself. If Health Bar appears, use your Basic Skills to Attack it until Tenet is Released. 3. Defeating Enemies That Spawn From Statue Some Tenets will have Red Lion Statues near them. After activating these Statues, numerous Shades of Hatred will appear. Killing them can effectively Release Tenets. 4. Matching Statues In Background This Puzzle and the associated Tenets are the hardest to find. There are three Lion Statues in hard-to-reach places on Map that light up in a specific order. Players need to find a way to get around these Statues and Activate them in the order they light up to Release associated Tenets. Five Hills Tenets Of Akarat After introducing Tenets of Akarat Puzzle, the next most important thing is to know where Tenets usually appear. In fact, Tenets usually appear in groups of five, and each group is concentrated in the same Zone. Five Hills is the first Zone. 1. Lower Kurast In the lower district of South Of Kurast, there is a dilapidated building. Enter it and you will find a Tenet inside. However, before you can get it, you need to Kill surrounding Enemies and then Attack Black Ichor to Release Tenet. 2. Vale Of Long Mists There is a Putrescent Larder Dungeon in the middle of Five Hills Zone, and there is a stream to the west of Dungeon where players can find a Tenet. Here you need to Activate Red Lion Statues to Release Shades of Hatred, and then Defeat them to Release Tenets. 3. Clouded Forest There is an Ancient Ruin located both east of Feeding Grounds Dungeon and in the southeast corner of Five Hills where players can find a Tenet. 4. Reflection’s Edge Find Glowing Lion Statues on Map, then Activate matching Lion Statues nearby to Release and obtain Tenets. 5. Tangles The last Five Hills Tenet is hidden in a bush east of Samuk Waypoint. Looking around bushes will reveal a pit with Tenets inside. However, to Release Tenets, you need to find all three Lion Statues near Tenets and Activate them in time. Seven Stones Tenets Of Akarat Another set of Tenets is located in Seven Stones Zone. Finding them still requires players to have good patience and keen observation. 6. Resting Void There is a Cave in Seven Stones Zone, northeast of Razak’s Descent Dungeon. Players can find Tenets in the north of this Cave. Here, players need to Activate three Lion Statues in time to Release Tenets. 7. Spiritcall Forest There is a Jungle northeast of Samuk Waypoint, next to a small waterfall, where Tenets are located. Tenets can be Released by looking for Glowing Lion Statues behind Tenets and Activating them in a specific order. 8. Spiritcall Forest There is a ruin just south of Chakir Mini-Zone Stronghold, where a Tenet is hidden. Players need to find and Activate Lion Statues before they go out to Release Tenet. 9. Nether Valley Near the northernmost end of Seven Stones, players can find a Tenet among a large Zone of vines and rocks. Activate Red Lion Statue and Kill Shades of Hatred to Unlock Tenets. 10. Nether Valley There is a large pit in the northwest of Murmuring Spiral Dungeon that contains 10th Tenet, hidden under some vines. Release Tenet by clearing out surrounding Enemies and Attacking Black Ichor. That’s the solution to Tenet Puzzle and where the 10 main Tenets appear.

Diablo 4 Season 6: What Are ...
Recently, Diablo 4 S6 PTR is being explored and discovered by many players. Obviously, there are many new contents and gameplays in this PTR, including new Skills for each Class. There are currently five Classes in Diablo 4, namely Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and Sorcerer. Although new Classes have been added to new PTR, there is no doubt that these five inherent Classes are still the main ones. Among them, Rogue is one of the more popular Classes, and its new Skills in PTR are undoubtedly also curious about many players. In Diablo 4, Skills of each Class mainly include Active Skills and Passive Skills. Here, based on the various performances of Rogue in current PTR, we will mainly introduce you to Rogue’s new Active Skill. New Active Skill: Dance Of Knives Rogue’s new Active Skill in PTR is called Dance of Knives. As an Active Skill, it is also included in Rogue Class Skill Tree, is part of Agility Cluster, and belongs to Cutthroat Agility Skill. You can find and use it in the game through Icons in Skill Tree Menu. In Diablo 4, you can upgrade Active Skills by consuming a certain amount of Skill Points. Starting from Rank 1, it can be upgraded to Rank 5. After effectively Enhance Dance of Knives, you can start upgrading it. After upgrading, you can get Methodical Dance of Knives or Disciplined Dance of Knives. Note that you can only choose one of the two! So after upgrading, you need to choose the upgrade based on their characteristics and your own needs. Methodical Dance of Knives means that when you stop Channel Dance of Knives, you can throw up to 12 Stun Grenades. Each Stun Grenades can cause 20% Weapon Damage to Enemies. However, the specific number of Stun Grenades thrown depends on the duration of your previous Channel Dance of Knives. Disciplined Dance of Knives means that in combat, you can use Dance of Knives to cause 25% Slow to Enemies for 3 seconds, and each knife has a 20% chance to Pierce Enemy. What Will You Gain When Channel Dance Of Knives? In fact, Dance of Knives can help you move quickly and irregularly among many Enemies to confuse Enemies and make them unable to catch your movement trajectory. During this movement, you can also cause corresponding Damage to Enemies! During use, Dance of Knives can have six Charges and a 1-second Charge Cooldown. If you make relevant optimizations, your Charge speed will be faster. During combat, when you are Channeling this Skill, you can get a 20%+ Movement Speed bonus and a 10%+ Dodge Chance. In terms of Damage, it can throw Knives at Enemies near you. Each knife can cause 42% Weapon Damage to Enemies hit. In addition, Movement Speed is also crucial for Dance of Knives Channel. During Channel Dance of Knives, you can get corresponding Charges for every 30 meters you move. This is actually an Enhancement for Dance of Knives. Charges are essential for your effective Channel Dance of Knives. So in theory, if your Movement Speed is kept fast enough, you can keep Channel Dance of Knives. Try To Combine Dance Of Knives With Other Skills Or Items The power of a combination is always better than fighting alone. In Diablo 4, there are other Rogue Skills and Diablo 4 Items that Rogues can use. Using them in conjunction with Dance of Knives may also bring you unexpected surprise effects. For example, previous Rogue Skills in Diablo 4. When you equip Daggers and Poison Imbuement them, it will give you a certain Damage bonus in combat. This will undoubtedly make you feel more powerful when Channel Dance of Knives. There is a hybrid Poison Imbuement that allows you to cause 75% Damage Boost to Enemies every time you Crit in combat, thus bringing a certain Enhancement. And if you also have Imbuements Concealment Skill when Channel Dance of Knives, then every knife you throw will cause a Critical Strike to Enemies. So if you can combine Dance of Knives and Imbuements Concealment and use them, theoretically, as long as you keep doing this, you can even get unlimited Critical Strike in this way. In addition, you can also combine Damage effect of Dance of Knives with the help provided by other Skills and wearable Armors in the game to form a richer gaming experience. For example, in PTR Key Passive Skill Victimized has been Revamped as never before. On this basis, combined with Charge feature of Dance of Knives’ Movement Speed, an effective new Build is formed. Through this Build, Dance of Knives’ high Attack Speed and Lucky Hit Chances are Enhanced at the same time. This allows Build to fully utilize the advantages of Helmet called Heir of Perdition while maintaining high-intensity DPS. Thereby improving Procs played by Victimized. This means that you can form more effective Damage against Enemies in battle. At this point, I believe you have a certain understanding of the features and usage of Dance of Knives. However, when you experience it in person, you will definitely get more unexpected gains. If you want to communicate with other Diablo 4 players about Dance of Knives, you can enter iGMeet Discord. Here you can not only meet like-minded people, but also can win various game materials by entering the giveaway channel, to make your gaming experience even better!Sep-12-2024

Diablo 4 Season 6: How To L ...
There are some updates in Diablo 4 Season 6 that are only available after you get Vessel of Hatred, but most of them will be available to everyone. From balance changes, itemization updates, and a whole new leveling system, these changes will bring a whole new experience to players. Fast leveling is what players are eager for. For those who have played Diablo 4 many times, if you don’t know how to reach the highest level in the shortest time, then read this guide. I will give a detailed introduction to the leveling strategy for the upcoming Season 6. However, for the first time playing Diablo 4, perhaps the game experience without a guide can make you truly feel the fun and value of the game. Getting Started In terms of the shaping of the game character, it is recommended that players choose Soldier’s Crop haircut and Roving Outlaw Beard to show a cool image. It is recommended that players start the game from “Hard” difficulty to increase the challenge. After entering the game, you should go to Helltide to fight, which is an important way to get XP, equipment and Diablo 4 Gold. If the time is right, you can also get a lot of experience and high-level equipment at Blood Maiden. When there are no events or you don’t have enough resources to summon Blood Maiden, you can continue to kill demons and open the mysterious chests around the hillside to get a lot of XP and equipment. Use the map to see the location of all the chests in Helltide you are in. Helltide is divided into the north and south. You can’t see the chests in the part you are not in. Opening chests also require some effort on your part. You need to defeat enemies to get cinders, and you can open chests only after accumulating 75 cinders. If you lack any equipment or items in the process of fighting against enemies, you can pay attention to Giveaway channel in iGMeet discord, which often releases Diablo 4 product giveaway information, or you can discuss how to defeat enemies quickly with more players in the discord group. With Hard difficulty, your goal is to improve your strength so that you can challenge the higher difficulty of Expert difficulty. If you get a very good equipment drop, such as a few Legendary Items, this will be achieved around level 20-30. But if you get a unique, then you might upgrade to Expert sooner. This depends on your luck to a certain extent. However, if the game decides to make you wait a while, then you might have to be patient. This does happen. Town, Gear, And Consumables The drop rate of equipment has changed in Season 6. It’s not hard to wait out the five minutes of downtime between Helltides and then come back, salvage your junk, repair, make potions, and start over. Also, picking herbs in Helltide is well worth it, because from level 10 you can make elixirs at the alchemist to give your character a power and XP boost! Tempers can give your character a huge amount of power, so make sure to throw Tempers on your gear when you’re ready to go to Blacksmith. It will make upgrading easier. In the early levels, when a green arrow appears, it means the item has a higher Item Power than the previous one, and you can wear it without worrying about it. But when you get to levels 40-50, you need to make sure the gear you choose has the right properties for your build. Strongholds Strongholds are a thing from Season 1, and they are an insane source of XP, granting almost an entire level upon completion. At around level 35, you can start aiming for Strongholds. Start on one side of the map. Complete each of these Strongholds missions as quickly as possible. While enemies will grant you XP, it will be a waste of your time if you focus on clearing all of them. Also, as the difficulty increases, XP doesn’t get as much. To complete them quickly, you need to go as low difficulty as possible. When doing these missions, remembering the pickup Waypoints for the area you’re in can save a ton of time. You know what the craziest thing is? Strongholds for leveling actually allows you to go all the way up to level 60! Renown Renown also grants increased XP rewards, and they scale as you level. You can always open the map and press “W” to turn in your Renowns to claim XP, but I recommend saving them until around level 50 to turn them in, so you can level up a few more levels. Leveling up quickly in Diablo 4 does require some strategy and skills, but the most important thing is to enjoy the game process. I hope this guide can help you quickly level up in the upcoming Season 6 and fully experience the fun and challenges of the game. Thank you for reading, and I wish you a fruitful adventure in Season of the Hatred!Sep-18-2024

Diablo 2 Resurrected Season ...
As Diablo 2 Resurrected's fourth season is well underway and the anticipation for Diablo 4's first season builds up, players are eager to know when Season 4 will conclude and when Season 5 will begin. This article aims to shed light on the upcoming Diablo 2 Resurrected 2.8 ladder reset, providing insights and predictions for the start and end dates of both seasons. Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder Reset Schedule Blizzard's decision to advance the launch of Season 4 in Diablo 2 Resurrected to May 4 allowed players to enjoy new game mechanics and level up characters while they await Diablo 4's release. However, with the passage of time, some advanced players might find the current season lacking excitement. As the focus remains on Diablo 4 development, expectations for substantial content in the 2.8 patch for D2R are tempered. Nonetheless, the community eagerly awaits news about the next ladder reset. To better understand the potential dates for the upcoming Season 5, let's review the schedule of past ladder resets and season releases: D2R Patch 2.4 PTR Ladder Start & End Time: March 2nd - 9th March, 2022 D2R 2.4 Release Date: April 14th, 2022 D2R Season 1 Start Date: April 28th D2R 2.5 PTR Start & End Time: August 25th - September 19th, 2022 D2R 2.5 Release Date: September 22nd, 2022 D2R Season 2 Start Date & Season 1 End Date: October 6th, 2022 D2R 2.6 PTR Start & End Time: January 24th - January 31st, 2023 D2R Season 3 Start Date & Season 2 End Date: February 16th, 2023 D2R 2.7 Patch Release Date: May 2nd, 2023 D2R Season 4 Start Date & Season 3 End Date: May 4th, 2023 D2R Season 5 Start Date & Season 4 End Date Players are eager to know when the 2.8 ladder reset will occur in Diablo 2 Resurrected. Based on various factors, it is predicted that D2R Season 5 will likely start at the end of August or early September, with Season 4 concluding around the same time. The following reasons support this prediction: Continuation of the 4-Month Cycle: After Blizzard moved forward the release of D2R Season 4, resulting in a duration of less than 3 months for Season 3, it is expected that the 4-month cycle for seasons will be maintained. Diablo 4 Season 1 Schedule: Diablo 4's first season is set to begin on July 20th and will last for 3 months. This allows developers to allocate more resources to prepare for D2R Season 5, making the end of August and early September a suitable timeframe for the ladder reset. Previous Start Dates: Past season start dates have consistently been on Thursdays. Therefore, it is speculated that the specific schedule for D2R Season 5 will likely be August 31st (Thursday) or September 7th (Thursday). D2R 2.8 Patch Release Date Considering the projected start time for Season 5, it is predicted that the 2.8 patch will be released on August 29th or September 5th, two days before the ladder reset. The absence of an early PTR release is expected, given the likelihood of limited exciting content in the 2.8 patch, although the dedicated D2R player community remains hopeful. With Season 4 in full swing and excitement building for Diablo 4, players eagerly anticipate the start of Diablo 2 Resurrected Season 5 and the 2.8 patch. Based on past patterns and considerations such as Diablo 4's schedule, predictions point to late August or early September for the next ladder reset. While specific details are yet to be officially announced, the Diablo 2 Resurrected community remains enthusiastic about what lies ahead in their favorite action RPG.Jul-27-2023
