How do I claim season rewards?

How do I claim my season rewards?

Should be in your Mailbox upon completion…

Completion of the season or soon unlocking it?

I made a mistake…when you complete a section…1, 2, 3 etc…go to the “Seasonal Journey Screen”…highlight the section you finished…and down below at the bottom…there should be “Claim Reward”…

The Gift…one that rewards the Armor…will be in your Inventory Bag - Rewards…

Follow the above instructions, but to be more precise, the rewards come in cache bags that show up in the same place as bounty caches.

same as switch. go to season journey select chapters 2 3 and 4, at the bottom click claim reward, then follow the next screen.

I finished m the first three chapters of the season but did not get the horse or any other season reward shown for season 19. In my mailbox was only the mask of scarlet death, but I dont recall that being a reward. I’m confused as to why I didnt recieve the necromancer set/leveled through 70(100) and rift 20.

So i did not claim my season rewards (finished 3 chapters in the limited time I had). I assume I have no way of recooping these rewards now? I wasn’t aware I had to get them while the season was still going and they are not in my mailbox

Mailbox is disabled during season. If season is over, then yes no way to recover them.

I have the same issue: didn’t realize that I had to claim the rewards during the season and now that it ended I don’t have them. Is there really no way to claim them still?

nope, you cannot claim them.

People DO realize the Season rewards you CAN claim are to help you during Season not after? The pet, portrait etc you do not need to claim for but the set gear is for the season not after it.

Personally I didn’t realize that no, I thought they were a reward for finishing the season. But thanks guys, I’ll keep it in mind for my 2nd season

Earned my season 21 rewards but then claimed them with a new character and didn’t receive them, did I mess up

I am playing on ps4 and still se no claim rewards option nomatter what I do or where I go on the season journey menu

Seasonal Heroes

Creating a Seasonal hero

To participate in the current Season, you'll need a Seasonal Hero. To create one and begin your new adventure, simply select the "CREATE" button on the Hero Selection screen. Make sure to select the "Seasonal Hero" option and then select "CREATE HERO". Seasonal Heroes start off with a blank-slate. They have their own shared stash and, until the current Season is over, they may not access any non-Seasonal items, materials, or gold already present on your account.

Leaderboards

The Leaderboards screen

Diablo III's Leaderboards can be accessed from the main menu. Leaderboards allow players to compete for ranked achievements with others—within the same region, clan, friends list, class, and with other parties of players. The Rankings page (PC) will also let you track player statistics.

Greater Rifts

Player progress in Greater Rifts is ranked by highest difficulty, and fastest time within that difficulty. This Leaderboard tracks statistics for both Seasonal and non-Seasonal Heroes.

Season Achievements

The Season Achievements tab will rank the highest character achievement score according to who earned it first. The total score includes all normal achievements earned during the current Season on top of extra Season Only achievements. To participate, create a Seasonal Hero and earn as many achievements as you can before the current Season ends.

The Conquests tab keeps track of players that have first completed Conquests in the current Season. It can be filtered by the first 1000 players within your region; by friends and by clan mates. Conquests are much harder to complete than regular achievements and the Leaderboard for them resets each Season.

Exclusive Season Rewards

In Seasons, you’ll be able to earn cosmetic items to add to your Collection ; Pets, Portraits, Wings, Pennants, and more.

End of a Season

At the end of each Season, all Seasonal Heroes will be moved over to the existing non-Seasonal Hero pool. All items, currency, and materials obtained by your Seasonal Heroes will be made available to your regular Heroes. Items that were in your Seasonal stash will be sent to you through the in-game Messages system. To participate in the next Season, you'll have to create a new Seasonal Hero and start your journey anew!

Beginner's Guide to Seasons in Diablo 3

Seasons in Diablo 3 allow players to experience the game with a fresh start, with no gold, materials, items, or characters carried over from the non-seasonal section of the game.

This page goes over the basics of Seasons, how they work, and the season-specific mechanics that do not appear in the normal areas of the game, such as the Seasonal Journey.

• 1. What is a Season and why should you play it?
• 2. Leveling 1-70
• 3. At Level 70
• 4. A Final Note

The purpose of this beginner seasonal guide is to get you acquainted with the basics of Seasons, as well as introducing you to fast leveling, gearing and farming tips that maximize your seasonal experience. While this guide has been written with seasonal play in mind, many of the strategies carry over to all forms of play, and will be applicable if you are just starting out a non-seasonal character as well.

What is a Season and why should you play it?

Seasons are an optional, recurring game mode that allows you the opportunity to start fresh every few months, leveling a Normal or Hardcore character from scratch without previously earned items, paragon levels, materials and gold. A great positive of the Season is reliving the initial progression, and seeing a character grow in great strides. Seasons are separate much like the Normal and Hardcore game modes, and it might seem intimidating that your Seasonal character will have to start his own stash, experience and artisan progression. None of your efforts will be wasted however, as all your endeavors within a Season — characters, items, paragon levels, gold, etc. — will be rolled over as non-seasonal once the Season concludes. A unique incentive of Seasons are the trackable Seasonal Journeys, exclusive Transmogrification awards, and a separate Leaderboard that allows everyone to compete on even grounds.

Leveling 1-70

You make three important choices in the pre-game: forming a party, choosing game mode and setting a difficulty. Starting a Season in a group rather than solo is a bit harder to organize, but comes with the highest recommendation: not only do you receive a party-wide loot and XP buff, but experience bonuses are now shared between members and lucky rolls for one will benefit you all. Another important consideration is that monster health does not scale proportionally to player number, giving you an edge in overall damage (not to mention utility in the form of CC and buffs). Nevertheless, if you prefer (or simply end up) playing solo, check out the 'Massacre leveling' opportunity outlined below in the Playstyle section, as it will be your fastest option to reach level 70.

Another pre-game choice is setting your difficulty, and the widely accepted leveling difficulty is Hard: a good combination of negligible challenge and a decent 75% experience bonus. You can consider bumping the difficulty to Master or higher only if you have received a huge power spike, such as crafting a reduced level requirement weapon (discussed below). As a final note, avoid leveling on Expert difficulty, as the experience gain to monster health increase ratio is heavily unfavorable in comparison with Hard.

You have two major options for activities during leveling in Adventure Mode: bounties and rifts . There will always be an active bounty for a random act Boss; ones that do not require a lot of running to find them are particularly attractive (i.e. Zoltun Kulle, Maghda, Belial), but completing the Boss bounty in general will net you good experience right at the start, as well as a chest that contains nice starting loot. After the Boss bounty, consider finishing the remaining bounties in the Act with active bonuses for a chance at the Cain's Fate and Born's Defiance crafting plans; both are sets craftable at the blacksmith, whose bonuses yield additional experience to speed up leveling.

After you complete the above, it is time to consider your leveling method. There are several viable paths to get to max level, each with its own benefits and drawbacks.

Leveling by Standard "Nephalem" Rifts

For groups and players that do not stress losing an hour or two in a 1-70 race, the general recommendation is to stick to rifts for the 1-70 journey. Rifts grant you increased legendary drop rate, blood shards for gambling, and a hefty 'hand in' bonus at the end. While rifting has a higher degree of randomness than bounties (map layout, monster density and composition are all RNG), the removal of Rift Keystones as a requirement to open them allows you to simply remake if you get a bad (difficult or slow) rift.

A lesson best learned early in Diablo is focusing on larger groups of enemies and ignoring stragglers to the best of your ability — take advantage of the fact that the only individual enemies you must fight are Rift Guardians. In the endgame, this will translate in efficient skipping of bad fights and better farming results; during leveling, it will result in you hitting max level faster. To summarize, adopt AoE spells and teach yourself to concentrate fire on larger packs of enemies, luring stragglers to them.

And finally, minimize your own downtime — this is a common pitfall that is hard to realize, because it is unique and personal for everyone. Whether it is out-of-game distractions like TV or a second monitor, or redundant in-game activities like excessive crafting, that downtime will drag your leveling process unnecessarily. As a rule of thumb, remember that pre-70 gear will be quickly outgrown and pondering between items of similar power — or rerolling any of them — is more than likely a waste of your time. Good leveling times fall somewhere in the 2 to 3 hours range, so anything over that points at downtimes and skipping one or more of the recommendations above.

Leveling by Massacre bonuses

Leveling by Halls of Agony Blades

This is one of the faster strategies, clocking in about the 1 hour mark, but is widely acknowledged as one of the more annoying strategies and is available only for softcore players, as it will involve some (or a lot, depending on your experience with it) dying in the process.

The strategy requires that you go to the Halls of Agony Level 1 (Act I) and find the giant cleaver blade traps, lure enemies to them, and enjoy the passive experience as the environment itself kills the unsuspecting monsters. Any form of crowd control over the enemies, be it stuns or slows, to keep them in check and within the trap radius, will be extremely beneficial.

Leveling by Cursed Chests

The preferred way to level through Cursed Chests is to have individual party members make their own games, and invite the rest of the group when they stumble upon one of the Cursed Chests from the list below. Note that Act IV has no suitable spots.

• Act I - The Cursed Cellar - The Old Ruins (dangerous for Hardcore characters due to lack of space)
• Act I - The Cursed Court - Cathedral Level 2
• Act I - The Cursed Bellows - Halls of Agony Level 3 (dangerous for Hardcore characters due to fire traps)
• Act II - The Cursed Spire - Archives of Zoltun Kulle
• Act II - The Cursed Pit - Archives of Zoltun Kulle
• Act II - The Cursed Moors - Shrouded Moors
• Act II - The Cursed Temple - Temple of the Firstborn
• Act III - The Cursed Garrison - The Battlefields
• Act III - The Cursed Bailey - The Ruins of Sescheron
• Act V - The Cursed Peat - Paths of the Drowned (dangerous for Hardcore characters due to high damage monsters)

Setting the game at a difficulty that will not make you struggle for survivability allows you to concentrate on one thing only: fast and efficient clearing, which is directly tied to your damage. Its biggest contributor will be your weapon, so allocate resources and focus your attention accordingly. If you have not upgraded that slot in about five levels, consider crafting yourself one at the Blacksmith. A small tip right when you start would be to steal appropriate weapons from your followers — you can grab a spear from the Templar , a crossbow from the Scoundrel and a dagger from the Enchantress . At level 1, they are stronger than your default weapon.

Classes are spread across several main stats: Strength for Barbarians and Crusaders; Dexterity for Demon Hunters and Monks; and Intelligence for Necromancers, Witch Doctors and Wizards. Adding to your main stat has major influence on your damage in Diablo 3, and even more so during leveling where high-end modifiers like crit, attack speed and elemental damage are infrequent and at low values. The importance of the basic Toughness stat, Vitality, and leveling amplifiers like Additional XP cannot be disregarded, but they should always be considered second to main stat gain.

To solidify your DPS, check vendors for rings and amulets adding flat damage. These give you a huge damage boost in the early game, where your weapon damage is in the double and triple digits. Fence merchants in towns sell jewelry, available at around level 6 for rings and around level 10 for amulets. Do not zealously check back and forth however, and only make merchant trips during natural pauses in gameplay — like Rift closing times.

While it is easier to write them off as a level 70+ concern, do not forget the existence and importance of gems during the leveling process. Most importantly, save up and upgrade two Rubies to the highest available tier at the time, and slot them in your weapon and helm. Adding a Ruby to a weapon adds flat damage, which is the best DPS increase in pre-70 gameplay, where Crit chance rolls are scarce and low, and the Crit Damage boosting Emerald gem reaps lesser benefits. A Ruby in the helm increases experience gain, shortening the time necessary to reach max level.

As a quick tip, there is a good chance you go over your 500 Blood Shards cap before you reach level 70, where you want to do your initial burst of gambling. To avoid wasting your rewards, do not hesitate to gamble a little bit, dipping just enough to hover at the 400+ range. Look over your gear, pick your worst slot — the one you have not upgraded for a while — and gamble 1-3 pieces. It will not hurt your progression, and you will feel the difference during leveling.

As previously noted, crafting should not be overlooked as a source of weapon upgrades — and is especially important during leveling, because it can be combined with the completion of a Challenge Rift right at the start of a Season (Challenge Rifts are explained a little further in this guide). Saving the weekly Challenge Rift completion and doing it right when the new Season starts on your fresh character is an easy way to gain a bunch of crafting materials and gold. This allows you to boost your Blacksmith and Mystic to Level 12 and to craft and reroll Level 70 weapons to use during leveling — the single biggest boost you can give yourself. Level 70 weapons can roll with a Reduced Level Requirement affix — up to 30 — in their secondary stats, skyrocketing your DPS for nearly half your leveling and allowing you to bump up difficulty for better XP gain.

First, pick a solid, cross-class two handed weapon category like a Two-Handed Axe, Two-Handed Sword, or a Two-Handed Mace, and select the highest tier rare weapon to craft. In order to conserve crafting materials and gold, craft weapons in small batches of 5, or even one by one when strapped for cash, and check their affixes. Be on the lookout for the following affixes:

• High Mainstat (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence) Roll — this is a tremendous DPS boosts due to the way mainstat scales on a high item level weapon, compared to your stats during low and mid character levels.
• % Chance for Crowd Control (Slow, Stun, Freeze, Knockback...) — This is especially important, because having a single one of these rolls eliminates all other % CC rolls from the Secondary affix pool when rerolling. Simply keep this stat and reroll the other secondary, i.e. "Ignores Durability Loss", and you should have the Reduced Level Requirement roll in just a few attempts.
• Life per Hit in the primary Stats — This prevents Life per Kill from rolling in the Secondary Stats, further reducing the pool of possible Secondary Stats to reroll into and making Reduced Level Requirement rolls even easier to get.

Pay close attention to the gold you spend rerolling, and if possible, keep several items with potential to reroll around. This is done because every additional reroll scales the necessary gold, and you can easily deplete the Challenge Rift cash if you get careless. Note that items that you craft with the intent to get Reduced Level Requirement can be shared among your party members PRIOR to getting rerolled. If you get exceptionally lucky, you can stack several high level weapons in your group and speed up your leveling immensely, but remember to share weapons with potential before they get rerolled. Also, be careful with the Salvaging options in the Blacksmith after a crafting session, especially when you get a good weapon. Salvaging all rares will destroy the fruits of your labor! To prevent this from happening, either stash the weapon immediately to prevent mishaps, or do a quick cheap transmog at the Mystic — transmogrified rare gear will not get destroyed from a Salvage All Rares click.

At Level 70

Your overall strategy will not alter much immediately after hitting 70; rifts continue to be your best source of gear, and bounty runs should be delayed until you need to craft a set or store a unique power — both of which require bounty-specific materials. An exception would be prioritizing the Seasonal Journey up to the relevant Chapter to acquire the full class-specific set from Haedrig's Gifts, and acquiring your Kanai's Cube for the first time from the Ruins of Sescheron area in Act III, which you can do at any time and will only have to deal with once.

The Seasonal Journey and Haedrig's Gifts

The Season Journey consists of series of achievements which grant cosmetic rewards, including profile borders, item transmogs and cosmetic pets. The Season Journey is divided into Chapters with separate achievements that are roughly similar in difficulty and relevance to character progression, giving some additional incentive and structure to seasonal gameplay. The Journey is available only to seasonal characters, and is shared account wide with the exception of the Softcore and Hardcore divide.

Completion of seasonal chapters II, III and IV yields Haedrig's Gifts, a cache-like reward that drops two pieces of a fixed class-specific set. With the completion of these chapters, you will have a full 6 piece set bonus available to you, skyrocketing your character power well into the mid-to-high Torments. This makes the early portion of the Seasonal Journey your first priority upon reaching max level.

With the early Season Journey out of the way, you have three significant types of farming: Bounties, Normal Rifts and Greater Rifts , each with its own distinctive benefits.

Doing Bounties

Running Normal Rifts

This is you bread and butter at the start, and will remain a staple in your farming well into the endgame. Rifts no longer require keystones to open, and you can start one anytime; their universal structure and clear goal (progress the bar by killing the monsters until the Rift Guardian appears, kill him and loot him, close the rift and repeat) only reinforced by their better drop chance compared to Bounties. While you can continue the Rift past the Guardian, it is advisable that you end once you finish him off — entering a new one is free, and getting as many Guardian kills and Rift close rewards as you can yields more experience, gold and blood shards per hour. You should prioritize normal rift farming for the vast majority of your early playtime, adjusting the difficulty to the highest you can handle while still being efficient — killing elites in less than 10 seconds is a good metric. Normal rifts are best at gearing you up and supply you with Greater Rift keystones, the next important step in your progression.

Fast ("Speed") Greater Rifts

Greater Rift keystones are generally used for three purposes: pushing for Leaderboard placement, upgrading Legendary Gems and farming Paragon levels. When starting out, the latter two will be done at once, with the added benefit of getting a guaranteed Legendary Gem at the end of every Greater Rift until you have a complete collection. In Greater Rifts monsters still grant progression, but the activity is unique in its timed nature, and only grants you loot from the Rift Guardian kill. To compensate its lesser material gain, Greater Rifts produce scaling Blood Shard rewards and multiply experience bonuses on gear, making them ideal for Paragon leveling. When you should do your first GRs and how many of them is up to personal preference, but it is advisable to start weaving them in as soon as you can handle the early Torment levels. As they invariably grant you the vital Legendary Gems and allow you to upgrade them upon completion within the timer, Greater Rifts will gradually take a larger and larger role in your routine.

A note on Challenge Rifts

As of Patch 2.6, you are able to select a unique activity in the pre-game lobby: Challenge Rifts. The Challenge Rift system pulls a random Greater Rift completion (including from ones too low to be on the leaderboard) — snapshotting the build, gear and even the level layout. All players are then able to compete for its fastest completion on completely even grounds. There is a weekly reward attached to beating the timer of the original run: a cache of 300 Blood Shards, 4 million gold, 8 of the unique bounty materials for Cube recipes, and a stack of regular crafting mats. This is one of the strongest early boosts you can get in the first week of a Season, so do your Challenge Rift as soon as possible. Considering the minimal effort required for the cache, it is also a good use of your time every subsequent week.

Befitting the name of the activity, spending Blood Shards at Kadala is not an exact science. You can slightly influence this luck-heavy endeavor by applying any of the following strategies:

• Gambling for your current worst slot: best done in the very early 70 game, this strat will quickly max you out when it comes to stat rolls, but is less effective in attaining specific legendary bonuses. Drop it as soon as you stabilize low Torment farming.
• Gambling for generic set slots: a solid strat that minimizes frustration, this approach suggests to research the competitive specs of your class and gamble for the slots that powerful sets have in common. Most 6 piece sets have helms, chest pieces, pants and gloves, increasing your chances to gather a 2 and 4 piece bonus in a short time span, leading to a significant spike in power.
• Gambling for the hardest gear slots: this approach is only adopted with high endgame perspective in mind, and suggests you know your class and playstyle in and out. The basic idea is that you will invariably stumble upon the more common gear pieces through massive farming sessions, and you can concentrate all of your Blood Shard efforts in the rarest slot — the one that can take you a whole Season to farm, as it requires being Ancient and having very specific stats (usually a weapon). Only attempt this strat if you plan on active and competitive participation in the Season.

Kanai's Cube brings a more refined aspect of gambling, allowing you to roll rare items into legendary items of the same type, as well as rerolling the very legendary items. Transforming a rare item into a legendary is an excellent way to target class-specific items (wands, mighty weapons, ceremonial knives, etc.) and has the potential to roll them as Ancient, making it a great mid-Season recipe to assemble gear. Rerolling a legendary item is an expensive recipe targeted towards mid-to-late Season, where acquiring a specific Ancient can make the difference at a shot for the Leaderboards. Finally, the set conversion recipe is a relatively inexpensive method of assembling a set through redundant pieces, but cannot produce Ancients, and as such can only be considered an early 70 booster.

A Final Note

However you decide your approach to Seasons, make sure you do it for the right reason: having fun and experiencing character growth. The meta has been frequently criticized for its RNG-heavy endgame, but that can hardly explain the same people appearing time and again at the top of the Leaderboards. Rest assured that they are the ones that treat the Season as a marathon and not a race, easily surpassing the ones that go extremely hard at the start and burn themselves out by week two. Consistency, research and minimizing downtime will be the three biggest contributing factors to your Seasonal progress and your endgame achievements. Happy hunting!

Season Journey

Season Journey is a feature of Diablo III and IV .

• 1.1 Background
• 1.2 Chapter Rewards
• 2 Diablo IV
• 3 References

Diablo III [ ]

Season Journey is an enhanced Achievement tracker that is only available to Seasonal players and is shared account-wide. This feature was added in Patch 2.3 during Season four . [1]

Background [ ]

The Season Journey was added as a means of tracking player progress. It acts as a guide on how players should progress throughout the Season. The Journey is divided into chapters, which include major milestones that are achievable by most players, and tiers, which are designed for advanced players.

Completing chapters unlocks new portrait frame rewards, and the final chapter includes challenges which will take effort to achieve for even the most powerful characters. [1] A new chapter is unlocked after the completion of all previous chapters. Chapter quests are designed to be immediately accessible, so completing a task before actually unlocking it does count towards its completion once the chapter is finally available. [2]

Each chapter is progressively more difficult, featuring tasks from no-brainers such as leveling artisans , socketing items, and reaching certain character level , to challenges such as beating a Nephalem Rift on Torment IX difficulty in under 4 minutes, beating solo Greater Rift rank 60, killing Greed on T10, or extracting 100 legendary powers via Kanai's Cube . There are a total of 9 chapters (Season 5), each giving progressively better rewards, including non-combat pet, full class set, and an additional stash tab (for Chapter VIII). Beginning with Season 5, players receive Haedrig's Gift as a reward for completing Chapter IV of the Season Journey.

Chapter Rewards [ ]

There are a total of nine chapters in the Season Journey. Each successive chapter is more difficult than the previous ones. After completing chapter IV, the player will receive the cosmetic rewards for the Season.

Diablo IV [ ]

Season Journey interface

The Season Journey returns in Diablo IV .

The Season Journey is divided into a number of chapters, with players earning limited-time rewards of each chapter of the journey that's completed. The last chapter is the hardest.

The Season Journey is free for all players. Completing Season Journey objectives also grants progress toward the Season Pass . [3]

Another D3 copy paste mechanic:D

No Blizzard. It's the dumbest decision you've made since speeding up leveling. Remember, just becouse the game is for casual players doeasn't mean it should be trivial and unsatifying. If your goal is to make a game like a D3 that people will play for 2 days on a weekend after season start, then you're on the right track..

As opposed to not playing til the next expansion or never again? Show us your achievements or sit back down. Casuals are the backbone of D4. Also, stop acting like D3 was so bad, at worst, it was a mixed bag.

Challenge progress at 93% and 80% on HC. 3 meta achievements from all 3 seasons. If someone doesn't have time, they shouldn't get everything for free... I remember when in D3 they increased legendary drop rates for the weekend, and then people like you cried, 'oh, give us back that drop rate,' and what was the result? You could make a character in two days... have no words for you...

Another D3 copy paste mechanic:D AND YOUR MAD?

Comment by Aova

Missed opportunity: it should've been a sick cosmetic set that made the season worth playing. That way the reward lasts longer than just the season and you have something to show off for the accomplishment. Instead you get gear from an arbitrary build that you might not be playing with stats that could easily roll garbage numbers on a character that won't matter in a couple months.

Comment by cethlol

Hey Diablo 3 long time no see!

Comment by kovera123

Hey D3 i missed you! Glad i can have you for 100 euros ! I am so happy

Comment by Leandervr

This is a good thing. The seaonal rewards were totally useless before, now it'll feel rewarding to do the seasonal journey. And it does not come with the issue the headrig's gift system in d3 had. Sets in that game were so ridiculously OP that completing the seasonal journey instantly catapulted your character often literally 10000% or more ahead. This is just a base kit that you can work with with, but not as OP as getting a set handed to you in d3 was.

Comment by ISYTamer

I am wondering if you waited until tier IV to get this "set" if it would give you better item powered gear? Or just complete the seasonal quest asap If its only mediocre gear?

Comment by Ravenhide

I find this to be a good change. Much like Diablo 3, this isn't a bunch of endgame 100% maxed gear. This is merely a stepping stone to help players start playing the content that will get them 100% maxed gear.

Season Journey

Last Updated: August 8th 2024

Share on Social

The Season Journey is a series of challenges, called objectives, that offer rewards for players who choose to complete them. The challenges are broken up by Chapters, with substantial rewards for completing each of them. Earlier Chapters consist of relatively easy challenges, while later they become substantially more difficult. Each Season has a different journey with unique challenges, so completing it is never the same!

Getting Started

Your progress can be accessed through the Season Journey Window. Here you can see each chapter, objectives, and the rewards. We can also track the progress of individual objectives and entire chapters from here. To complete a Chapter you must finish a certain number of objectives. The number required to complete a Chapter is less than the number of Objectives offered for each chapter, so you have some flexibility in which ones you choose to target. Chapters can only be completed once per Season per account. Season Journeys can only be completed within the Season they are connected to. They cannot be completed within the Eternal Realm. Example: The Season Journey shown above is for Season 5 and can only be completed by a Seasonal character during Season 5. Once Season 6 starts, Season 5 will have ended and this Season Journey will no longer be accessible.

There are two types of rewards that can be earned from the Season Journey: Favor/Reputation and Chapter Rewards.

Favor is earned through completing objectives and as a Chapter Reward. Objectives award a small amount of Favor, while Chapters award a much larger amount. Favor is used to progress your Battle Pass , which is another system exclusive to Seasons. There is also Reputation , however, which is used to unlock in-game item caches that help power up your character.

Chapter Rewards are earned by completing a Chapter. The rewards vary greatly and can be anything from Favor/Reputation , to Caches filled with loot, to Legendary Aspects.

For more information on the Battle Pass, check out our Battle Pass Guide .

• The Season Journey is a series of objectives that can be completed for Favor and Reputation .
• Objectives are broken up into Chapters, and you don't have to complete all of them to complete a Chapter.
• Finishing enough objectives in a Chapter completes that Chapter, providing substantial rewards.
• Objectives in later Chapters are significantly more challenging than earlier Chapters.
• They do not provide Renown points.

The 2.0 PTR: What You Need to Know

The armies of the Burning Hells grow restless, anxious to inflict more wounds upon Sanctuary. Muster the strength to protect your home, wanderer.

The 2.0 Public Test Realm (PTR) for Diablo IV will be available from September 4–11 , offering you the chance to test upcoming changes and features releasing for the base game with the next Season and the Vessel of Hatred Expansion.

The purpose of the PTR is to test updates and features before the launch of Season 6. Then, using your feedback, we’ll adjust the content within before it goes live for everyone. The feedback we receive helps us to fine-tune balance changes, eliminate bugs, and create the best experience possible. Having a PTR gives us a chance to test new systems, and we’re grateful for your assistance.

The fires of Hell burn bright in their anticipation of your arrival! Here is what the 2.0 PTR will be previewing.

Why Make Systemic Changes?

Leveling adjustments, new difficulties system, paragon updates, item quality rework, new class skills and passives, runewords: a new source of power, wander boldly with party finder, features offered for testing, how to provide feedback, how to install the ptr, 2.0 ptr patch notes.

Please note that this is a preview for PTR content, which is subject to change. The content shown in this PTR will be accessible to all players upon launch and won’t require the Vessel of Hatred Expansion to experience (unless otherwise noted).

Developer’s Note: Our original vision for character progression was that you would have a grand journey, traversing through World Tiers, swapping out gear, gaining incremental strength through the Paragon system. We felt that was fun the first time, but on repeated play throughs, World Tier III and Sacred items felt artificial and added a lot of stat bloat that didn’t make the game more fun. Since launch we’ve added endgame features, like Infernal Hordes and The Pit of the Artificer. Vessel of Hatred will expand the endgame line up even further, adding Dark Citadel and Undercity to the mix. Our hope is that these new systemic changes allow for new characters to reach the endgame faster.

Back to Top

The way Paragon Points function has been adjusted. Going forward, earned Paragon Points will now be tied to Realm versus Character Level. This means that all Paragon Levels earned will be shared across all your characters on the same Realm. To support this shift, we’ve made a variety of alterations to the leveling journey, other stats, and monster levels. Numbers and values are also more easily understandable.

Paragon and Character Level Split

Paragon and character levels are now split out, with Levels 1–60 representing character level. This means you can earn an additional 10 Skill Points, opening additional avenues of character customization. Starting at Level 60, players will begin to earn Paragon Levels which can be used to unlock Paragon Nodes.

Characters above Level 50 will have all their experience-based Paragon Points converted to a Paragon Level. Here’s an example of this change:

• If your character is Level 100 currently, once these changes go into effect, your character level will be reduced to 50, and all 200 Paragon Points your character has earned with be converted to Realm-wide Paragon Levels. If your character is Level 50 and below, nothing will change for them.

Developer’s Note: The changes to leveling and Paragon were made with the intent of getting you to endgame activities and gear at a more rapid pace and making it easier to ramp up your alt characters for the fight ahead.

Stat Adjustments

In addition to splitting out character and Paragon levels, we've revisited stats like Health, Armor, and Core Stats.

Developer’s Note: We’ve received player feedback stating that the numbers used to depict stats and damage have gotten out of control. We’ve adjusted stats in a way that makes the information more consumable. This change has no bearing on the strength of your character.

Standard Difficulties

Developer’s Note: Much of what drove these changes was noticing that it was more fun to be able to control your difficulty and reward pacing using Profane Mindcages and Tormented versions of bosses.

World Tiers have been changed to Difficulties, a new way to control your challenge and reward. The first 4 Difficulties—known as Standard Difficulties—are Normal, Hard, Expert, and Penitent. The purpose of Standard Difficulties tiers is to temper your character while you strive to hit character Level 60, the new maximum.

• Normal is a slower-paced mode suited for those looking for a lighter challenge.
• Hard and Expert offer an increased challenge for those looking to test their mettle and play at a faster pace.
• Penitent isn’t for the faint of heart. Those looking to pave a path to the new Torment Difficulties will face off against heightened danger. Play at your own peril!

As you accelerate in Difficulty, the amount of Gold and experience you earn will rise too. Here’s how to unlock each Difficulty:

• Normal and Hard are unlocked by default.
• Expert is unlocked after completing Diablo IV’s prologue.
• Penitent is unlocked upon reaching Level 50.

Your Gateway to Hell: Torment Difficulties

Making it to the new Torment Difficulties is the mark of a veteran warrior—this is where the endgame truly begins. In Torment Difficulties, your progression is directly linked to the Pit. As you strive to higher Pit Tiers, the Torment Difficulty you have access to will also increase. The higher the Torment Difficulty, the more likely you are to encounter Legendary and Ancestral item drops. Here’s the breakdown of how to unlock each Torment Difficulty:

• Reaching Level 60 unlocks the Pit and Tiers 1–20 of it. Beating Pit Tier 20 unlocks Torment Tier I.
• Beating Pit Tier 35 unlocks Torment II.
• Beating Pit Tier 50 unlocks Torment III.
• Beating Pit 65 unlocks Torment IV.

As if danger wasn’t abundant enough in Sanctuary, Torment Difficulties foster a new hazard: Curses. While playing in Torment Difficulties, your armor and Resistances are reduced as follows:

• Torment 1: -250 Armor and -25% All Resist
• Torment 2: -500 Armor and -50% All Resist
• Torment 3: -750 Armor and -75% All Resist
• Torment 4: -1000 Armor and -100% All Resist

By adding more Difficulties and separating them out in this way, players now have increased choice in how they engage with the risk and reward style of Diablo IV going forward.

Monster Levels

Monsters will no longer have their level displayed and will scale to the Difficulty you’re playing on.

Developer’s Note: We received feedback at launch about level scaling and feeling weak. By removing monster levels entirely and leaning into Difficulty, you now have the freedom to more precisely choose your challenge level.

Developer’s Note: There were a few issues with Paragon Glyphs, the Pit, and Nightmare Dungeons. We received feedback that the Pit rewards were feeling lackluster. We wanted to make the action of upgrading Glyphs more satisfying, while simultaneously offering better rewards for pushing deep into the Pit. Our desire was to give Glyphsmore power, but the Glyph upgrading experience system did not scale well and was needlessly grindy. So, to achieve this goal, we moved Paragon Glyphs upgrading out of Nightmare Dungeons and into the Pit, and also redesigned the system to give more control over how quickly Glyphs can be upgraded.

Glyphs have undergone a metamorphosis to better meld with the other changes we’ve made.

• Upgrading a Glyph is no longer driven by experience. Instead, you’re given attempts to increase your Glyph’s Rank by completing Pit Tiers.
• Three attempts to upgrade your Glyph’s Rank are rewarded for successfully completing the Artificer’s Mastery, and a bonus attempt for not dying.
• Each upgrade attempt can be used to increase any Glyph that isn’t already at max level. The chance to upgrade your Glyph is based on the level of the Glyph and the Tier of the Pit you complete. For example, completing a Pit Tier that is 10 higher than your Glyph’s Rank guarantees an upgrade Rank.
• Completing a Pit Tier that is significantly higher than your Glyph’s current Rank grants bonus upgrade ranks per attempt.

Every 20-level difference between the completed Pit Tier and Glyph Rank grants a bonus upgrade per attempt. Here’s an example of this system in action:

Three deathless Pit Tier 30 runs would take a Glyph all the way up to Rank 19, rapidly unlocking the additional Radius Size increase:

First Pit Run

• Attempt 1: Glyph Rank increases from 1 to 3.
• Attempt 2: Glyph Rank increases from 3 to 5.
• Attempt 3: Glyph Rank increases from 5 to 7.
• Bonus Attempt 4: Glyph Rank increases from 7 to 9.

Second Pit Run

• Attempt 1: Glyph Rank increases from 9 to 11.
• Attempt 2: Glyph Rank increases from 11 to 12.
• Attempt 3: Glyph Rank increases from 12 to 13.
• Bonus Attempt 4: Glyph Rank increases from 13 to 14.

Third Pit Run

• Attempt 1: Glyph Rank increases from 14 to 14 (Radius Size increase).
• Attempt 2: Glyph Rank increases from 15 to 16.
• Attempt 3: Glyph Rank increases from 16 to 17.
• Bonus Attempt 4: Glyph Rank increases from 17 to 18.

The maximum level of a Glyph has been increased from 21 to 100. At Level 45, a Rare Glyph can be upgraded to a Legendary Glyph using Gem Fragments with the following bonuses:

• The Glyph’s Radius Size has increased from 4 to 5.
• The Glyph gains an additional affix.

Paragon Boards

Each Class has received 1 new Paragon Board. These Paragon Boards each come with a new Legendary Node as well. Additionally, only 5 Paragon Boards can be equipped, including your starting board.

Developer’s Note: With the introduction of so many new sources of power, namely Legendary Glyphs, we wanted the focus to be more on which board and glyphs you want. By limiting the number of boards, we can inject more power into choices made within the system.

The number of Paragon Points that can be earned by leveling has increased from 200 to 300.

Developer’s Note: Limiting the number of Paragon Boards attached allows us to concentrate more of the power into the boards and Glyphs themselves. This puts more of the decision-making focus on boards and Glyphs that fit your build.

Developer’s Note: We felt Sacred and Ancestral Items lost their specialness and flair due to how common they became. These changes transform Ancestral items into mighty endgame items worth the chase.

Ancestral Items

• Ancestral items start dropping in Torment 1.
• Ancestral items always drop at Item Power 800, the highest possible.
• Greater Affixes only appear on Ancestral items.
• Ancestral items always contain at least 1 Greater Affix.

• Sacred Items will no longer drop. Any Sacred Items you have on your character will be marked as ‘Legacy.’ They can continue to be used but cannot be upgraded.
• Non-Ancestral items are capped at Item Power 750. Legendary items dropped when you’re Level 60 will always be Item Power 750.
• Item Power 750 items can now be Masterworked up to 4 times.
• Because Character Levels are being re-adjusted in the new Realm-wide Paragon system, items with Item Power over 540 are being adjusted to 540. Affixes on these adjusted items will be rerolled at the highest values in their respective ranges.

1 New Skill for Each Class

5 New Passives for Each Class

Outside of the 2.0 PTR, Runewords are a feature that can only be accessed if you have the Vessel of Hatred Expansion.

Runewords are a way to take your character’s power to a new level by creating your own abilities. There are two types of Runes you’ll find in Sanctuary: Ritual and Invocation. Runes of Ritual specify actions you must take to trigger them, and Runes of Invocation grant a powerful effect when you meet said trigger.

Let’s take the Bac Rune of Ritual as an example. Its condition is for your character to move 5 meters.

And then there’s the Jah Rune of Invocation. Its effect is: Replace your next Evade with the Sorcerer’s Teleport (2 sec cooldown).

Runes work off a resource system called Offering, which is generated by Runes of Ritual upon meeting their listed condition. Runes of Invocation consume this Offering to activate their effects. The more demanding of a requirement, the more Offering the Rune of Ritual will generate. On the inverse, the Offering requirement to activate a Rune of Invocation scales with the strength of its effect.

You may generate more Offering than is required to activate your Rune of Invocation. This is where another mechanic, Overflow, comes into play. Many Runes of Invocation apply a bonus to their effects when more Offering than requires is generated, cranking them up a notch briefly.

To make a Runeword, you must socket a Rune of Ritual and a Rune of Invocation into an item containing two Sockets, such as Chest, Leg, and Two-Handed weapon slots. The Helm slot has also received an additional Socket and can now house a Runeword. Any Rune of Ritual is compatible with any Rune of Invocation. Runes come in 3 rarities: Magic, Rare, and Legendary. The higher a Rune’s rarity, the more potent its effect will be.

Here’s an example of how two Runes formed into a Runeword would function:

Let’s use the Bac Rune of Ritual as an example again: While equipped, every 5 meters your character moves will generate 50 Offering.

And we’ll pair it again with the Jah Rune of Invocation, which has an effect of: Replace your next Evade with the Sorcerer’s Teleport (2 sec cooldown). Requires 500 Offering.

Having both the Bac and Jah Runes equipped to an item you’re wearing created the BacJah Runeword. It also means that every time your character travels 5 meters, they will generate 50 Offering. Once they have generated at least 500 Offering, their next Evade is replaced with the Sorcerer’s Teleport.

Runewords can give you access to Skills from other Classes. They can also do things like temporarily increase your Movement Speed, Skills, and more. There are 17 Runes of Ritual and 28 Runes of Invocation available. With a multitude of ways to pair them, the sky’s the limit. Here are the tooltips for all 45 Runes:

How to Obtain Runes During the PTR

Runes of any rarity can be acquired throughout Sanctuary as a monster drop. For testing during the PTR, 2 caches containing each Rune can be acquired from the ‘PTR boost’ NPC located in Zarbinzet through a dialogue option. To give you enough time to experience everything the 2.0 PTR has to offer, Runes will not be available in the PTR until September 6 . We cannot wait to see the formidable Runeword combinations you come up with during the PTR.

Party Finder is here to help you locate the right allies! This new feature allows you to find wanderers of a similar mettle within Sanctuary.

Go Far, Go Together

Party Finder gives you the ability to list the type of party you’re looking for, set what game type or activity you’d like to run, where you’d like to play, and add preferences for both casual and completionist players alike.

You can use Party Finder to list or find a party for multiple activities within Sanctuary: from slaying through Nightmare Dungeons, selecting Wings to complete in the Dark Citadel, and finding other players to share Materials to summon Endgame Bosses, to completing your Codex of Power. Party Finder can be accessed in a variety of ways, with quick access via the Map, in-game Menu, or through a pre-set action on your emote wheel.

We will have servers for PTR in our largest regions: North America, Europe, Korea and Japan, South America, and Australia. Characters on your account have been copied ahead of time to help prepare for the PTR, although some of their items may be out of date compared to how they are currently set up in-game. Once you log-in through Battle.net, your account will carry over the following account-based progress:

• Campaign Completion
• Mounts and Skill Points
• Altar of Lilith Stat bonuses

As many of the changes in this PTR are systematic, the following features will be offered to aid players in testing everything. At the Boost NPC in Kyovashad you can:

These commands can be ran all at once or individually. The Boost NPC will be available starting September 6. For the first bit of the 2.0 PTR, we want to be able to collect information and feedback about a player’s natural experience without any modifiers.

Your feedback on the changes you will see and experience in the PTR is important to us and is vital in ensuring the 2.0 PTR is the best it can be when it goes live in Diablo IV proper. If you participate in the PTR, please let us know what you think!

You can provide feedback through the in-game feedback tool or the Diablo IV PTR forums . Pressing the Esc key while in the in-game menu will bring up the Report a Bug menu. You can select the dropdown filter and select the In-game feedback tool to provide feedback without leaving the game.

Here are the steps to join the PTR:

• Open the Blizzard Battle.net App and select Diablo IV from your Games list.
• Select the Public Test Realm option.
• Click Install to Install the PTR client. This becomes a Play button when ready.
• Click Play to log in to the PTR, and select any of the available Test Servers.
• Note: Create a Seasonal Mechanic for any testing related to the Seasonal themes.
• Enter the game and test the 2.0 PTR!

• Now - Debilitating Roar increases your damage by 15%[x] for its duration.

• Lightning Strikes now cannot hit the same target more than once every 0.5 seconds.

Developer’s Note: Cataclysm was previously updated to be guaranteed to hit an enemy with its lightning strikes, if one is in range. We really like how much better the skill feels to use with this change! However, It turned out to be a bit overpowered. Now we’re limiting how frequently Cataclysm's lightning strikes can repeatedly hit the same target to ensure that other Ultimate Skills can still be a competitive option in single target situations. The damage of the lightning strikes is being increased to compensate.

Ursine Strength

• Damage bonus while Healthy reduced from 30%[x] to 15%[x].
• Maximum Health bonus increased from 20%[x] to 30%[x].
• Overpower damage bonus increased from 30%[x] to 45%[x].

Developer’s Note: Ursine Strength is one of the most popular Key Passives for Druids. It was designed with Werebear and or Overpower focused builds in mind. However, it is often being used in builds that have little interest in Werebear Skills or Overpower effects, simply because the 30%[x] Damage bonus while Healthy was generically powerful. We are reducing the power of this effect, while increasing the Maximum Health and Overpower damage bonuses to better support its Werebear and Overpower niche, and not be as generically appealing to other builds that it was not intended for.

• The sound that plays when arriving at a pinned destination has been made more prominent.

Miscellaneous

• The number of available character slots has been increased from 12 to 13.
• Dodge chance can no longer reach 100% through any means. The Dodge Chance bonuses from the handful of related aspects have been swapped from additive to inverse multiplicative, matching typical Dodge Chance modifiers.
• The Gauntlet will be disabled for Season 6 while the meta settles with the introduction of the Spiritborn and all other system updates.
• Fixed an issue where excessive skill ranks of Martial Vigor and Guttural Yell could result in 100% Damage reduction.

Developer’s Note: This was only possible on the eternal realm since the tempering recipe for additional ranks of these skills was removed in the Season of Infernal Hordes. The Damage Reduction from these passives is now capped at 80%, which requires 20 ranks of the skill.

• Fixed an issue where Leap had to fully complete its animation before being able to cast Leap again.
• Fixed an issue where the Dust Devil's Aspect could activate more frequently if Whirlwind was cancelled.
• Fixed an issue where the tooltip for Call of the Ancients showed a higher damage value than it was actually dealing.

Developer’s Note: Call of the Ancients has been slightly rebalanced to compensate for this issue, dealing slightly less damage for low level Barbarians, and dealing slightly more damage for Barbarians with stronger late game gear.

• Fixed an issue where assigning a skill point to Tactical Rallying Cry did not upgrade the tooltip for Rallying Cry.
• Fixed an issue where the buffs from Clarity and Vigilance could be unexpectedly lost.
• Fixed an issue where the cooldown reduction from the Virulent aspect was inconsistent between Bosses and Elites.

• Fixed an issue where killing a vulnerable enemy with a Bone Skill could not generate essence when using the Aspect of Exposed Flesh.
• Fixed an issue where the bonus from the Deadly Ambush legendary node could affect non-critical strike damage.
• Fixed an issue where Rapid Fire used with Scoundrel's Kiss couldn't fire through Chilling Winds.

• Fixed an issue where Flickerstep triggered inconsistently with Teleport Enchant evades.
• Fixed an issue where Crackling Energy triggers chained to additional enemies in the opposite way as intended. I.e. 70% chance was a better chance for it to happen than 90%. 100% chance was actually 0% chance. (Joke? 100% of the time, it works none of the time)
• Fixed an issue where active Chain Lightnings would not dissipate after the player died when Axial Conduit was equipped.
• Fixed an issue where Mythic Unique Items could not drop for lower-level players.
