Fixed an issue where an attack that swaps from melee to Crossbow would double the bonuses from the Precision and Weapon Mastery Rogue passives.

Fixed an issue where some interactable objects associated with various quests, such as Lyndon's Stash during the Discretionary Spending quest, could not be interacted with while mounted.

Fixed an issue where the camera would not reset if the player died during the Echo of Lilith encounter while the camera was zoomed out.

Developer’s Note: Some items, Legendary Aspects, Passives, Paragon bonuses, and Skills displayed bugs that allowed players to gain more power than intended when you equipped and then unequipped them. We believe these interactions lead to a worse experience for all players, as it creates a stigma that these bugs must be exploited to reach new levels of power. The bug fixes below address all known instances of this issue.

Fixed an issue with multiple Legendary Aspects where equipping duplicate Aspects would always apply the effect of the first equipped Aspect, ignoring the rule of applying only the strongest equipped Aspect.

Game Updates

Uber Unique Crafting

Developer’s Note: Uber Unique items are highly sought after. With Season of Blood, we introduced target-farming Uber Unique Items with Uber Duriel to gives players another source of acquiring this type of item. However, we want to give players increased autonomy in obtaining their desired Uber Unique by addressing feedback that expressed how acquiring duplicate or undesired Uber Unique Items lessens that feeling of triumph. A new system empowers players to make use of duplicate and undesired Uber Unique items by salvaging them for a new resource which can be used to eventually craft an Uber Unique of their choosing. Additionally, the chance for Uber Unique Items to drop everywhere but in Uber Duriel encounters has been increased.

Uber Unique Items can now be salvaged to provide a new resource, Resplendent Sparks. Players can bring 5 Resplendent Sparks to the Alchemist and Transmute an Uber Unique of their choice.

The Refine Resources tab at the Alchemist has been renamed Transmute, and the option to craft an Uber Unique item can be found under that tab.

Note that the preview window for crafting an Uber Unique won't display the item’s affixes.

The drop chance of Uber Unique items acquired outside of Uber Duriel encounters has been increased.

Miscellaneous

The Cursed Shrine event now gives the Shrine bonus at the start of the event instead of when it is finished.

This will make it easier to identify which projectiles can heal the monster.

The Suppressor affix has been adjusted.

Game Updates

Echo of Malphas

Developer’s Note: We have noticed players tended to use their Pearls of Warding for fighting Echo of Malphas instead of on Zoltun’s Warding. We are adding in Igneous Cores—a new item used solely to summon Malphas instead of Pearls—so players don’t have to choose between extra protection in the Vaults or fighting the boss. Additionally, we have made the fight against Malphas more difficult but also increased the rewards it provides.

Echo of Malphas has had their Level raised from 85 to 100.

The Health pool of Echo of Malphas has been increased by 30%.

A new item—Igneous Cores—now exists for the purpose of accessing the Uber Vault and Echo of Malphas. This item will replace the usage of Pearls of Warding in providing access.

Igneous Cores have a chance to drop from Vault Heralds and are guaranteed to drop from Son of Malphas in World Tier IV.

Loot Updates

The drop rate of Unique Stones from Malphas increased from .25% to .5%.

Unique Stones now have a 3% chance of dropping from the chest after the boss.

Defeating Echo of Malphas will now reward more Legendary items. Additionally, Item Level 925 items will drop more often.

The Seneschal

Developer’s Note: We’ve received feedback that the Seneschal does not feel powerful. The Seneschal becomes more powerful as it reaches max level, but we have noticed that many players have not had the chance to level up their Seneschal enough to experience this. We are introducing multiple changes to ensure players have more sources to earn Governing and Tuning Stones from so they can level up their Seneschal and unlock their new companion's full potential.

Crafting a Governing or Tuning Stone will now always cost 200 Shattered Stone and 20 Iron Chunks regardless of level.

Finding a max level Governing or Tuning Stone will now grant 150 –200 Shattered Stone.

Governing and Tuning stones can now be acquired as rewards for completing Whispers.

Son of Malphas now always drops 2-3 Governing and Tuning Stones.

Stones awarded from Seneschal Stone Caches has been increased from 1 to 2 stones.

Experience requirements for Governing and Tuning Stones have been reduced so they can be ranked up more naturally with your leveling experience.

Vaults and Arcane Tremors

We have made multiple quality-of-life changes to the player experience in the Vaults and Arcane Tremors.

Consuming a Pearl of Warding at a Statue of Zoltun Kulle now grants 10 stacks of Zoltun's Warding, instead of 3.

The max stacks of Zoltun's Warding has been increased from 300 to 999.

The grace period for losing stacks of Zoltun's Warding when being hit by multiple traps at once has been increased from 1 second to 1.5 seconds. (Ex: If 3 darts hit you in the span of 1.5 seconds, you'll only lose 1 stack instead of 3).

Heralds of Malphas now guaranteed a Legendary item drop starting at Level 26, with a 15% chance to drop a second Legendary item.

Knockback has been removed from all Obelisk Hazards.

Chests will now appear after completing a Vault's ending encounter. These new chests will drop a guaranteed Legendary item starting from level 26 , with a 35% chance to drop another Legendary item.

The projectile speed from Elemental Dart hazards has been reduced by 20%.

The hitbox for floor-based Elemental Grate and Spike hazards have been reduced by roughly 15%.

The spout hitbox for Elemental Pillars has been reduced by roughly 15%.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where the Gatehall would not display on the map for players on PlayStation™.

Fixed an issue where the Brazier could not be interacted with in certain circumstances during the Drums of the Vault quest.

Fixed an issue where the Beckoning Thunder Horse cosmetic was invisible for Druid players.

Fixed an issue where the damage effect and the visual effect were not in sync for floor traps in Vaults.

Various stability and performance improvements.

Class Updates

Developer’s Note: It’s important to us that when a player chooses to fully invest in a Skill, the payoff is immense. In pursuit of this goal, several of our new Unique and Legendary items are targeting Skills that have yet to reach their full potential. We’re excited to see what players accomplish with our new Unique items for Barbarian’s Rend, Druid’s Lightning Storm, and Sorcerer’s Meteor. We’re also targeting some pressing issues for each Class. Necromancers with Cult Leader should see their Minions strike a bit harder, Barbarians shouldn’t feel that 3 Shouts are a requirement for their success, and Sorceresses applying Vulnerable with Lightning Spear should open new build opportunities. There are also Class updates to items and Skills that are underperforming, such as the Rogue’s Ranged Unique Items, and the Necromancer’s Golem.

Developer’s Note: After reviewing gameplay data and player feedback, we recognized that completing higher Nightmare Tiers was not as rewarding as we initially hoped for, with many players stopping their journey after reaching Tier 50. The experience increase to Glyphs at higher Tiers was made with the intent of incentivizing players to push their builds, making their arrival at Tier 100 feel that much more fulfilling. We will monitor how this change in experience pans out for players and encourage you to provide us with any feedback you have around this system.

We have added an audio cue to signal when you are near a traversal (Ex: A ladder or broken bridge to jump over).

User Interface & User Experience

Items can now be marked as Favorite. Items marked this way cannot be sold or salvaged.

Items in the Stash can now be marked as Junk or Favorite.

The Stash can now be searched and filtered to more quickly find items.

Using the Sell all Junk option will now only sell Junk in the active Inventory tab.

Extracted Aspects with the same Legendary Power will now be grouped together when sorted in the Inventory and Stash.

The sorting of normal Affixes on items has been improved to be more consistent.

Developer’s Note: Affix sorting has been curated to more deliberately sort similar Affixes together.

Dungeons that have active Whispers associated with them will now display the Aspect Name and Description on the map Tooltip.

Streamer mode has been implemented. Players that wish to hide identifying information—such as their character name or Battle.net username—can find these new settings in the Connect Options menu.

An additional option for hiding Combat Text is now available in the settings.

Auto-run has been added. When pressing the bound key/button, the player will continuously move in the direction they or their mouse cursor are facing until another movement action or Skill is initiated.

We have added an in-game announcement for upcoming World Boss spawns.

The visual effect on the Map to denote active Helltide is now also shown on the Minimap.

The Minimap has been zoomed out to display a wider area.

Three new icons have been added for Helltide Chests on the map. One each for Jewelry, Armor, and Weapons.

Two additional character slots have been added, totaling 12.

Items

Enchant cost is now determined by a coefficient of Base Item Power and item type instead of the item's sell value. For Rare items, this will generally result in a higher initial Enchant cost, but subsequent Enchanting will continue to escalate at a significantly reduced rate than prior. Enchant costs will be generally reduced across the board for Legendary items.

For example, when Enchanting a Rare Ancestral Wand with 750 base Item Power, prior to Season of Blood:

First Enchant: 56,430 Gold

Second Enchant: 282,150 Gold

Third Enchant: 338,580 Gold

When Enchanting the same Wand during Season of Blood and beyond.

First enchant: 64,492 Gold

Second enchant: 128,984 Gold

Third enchant: 193,477 Gold

When enchanting a Legendary wand with 800 base Item Power.

Prior to Season of Blood: First Enchant costs 164,262 Gold

Now: First Enchant costs 72,203 Gold

Additionally, imprinting, adding Sockets, or upgrading will no longer increase Enchant cost.

Developer’s Note: Enchant being determined by sell value encouraged players to re-roll a Rare item before upgrading it at the Blacksmith or imprinting an aspect on it. The overall formula for Enchant cost has been adjusted so item adjustments need not be done in a specific order to be the most cost-effective. Additionally, this change reduces overall costs incurred when re-rolling an item.

Gems will no longer drop from regular sources, and can instead be crafted at a Jeweler.

Previous Gem sources now drop Gem Fragments, which are stored in the Materials tab.

Crafted Gems can be Salvaged back into Gem Fragments at a Jeweler.

The equivalent number of Gem Fragments will drop less frequently than Gems did from regular sources, but more frequently from Whisper Caches.

Developer’s Note: By moving Gem acquisition to an active player action, they will no longer passively fill your inventory, reducing stress on overall space. We're also weighing the equivalent drops more towards targeted rewards to reduce the potential frequency of checking the Materials tab during regular play.

The overall drop rate of elixirs has been reduced.

The 0.5% chance of dropping from any monster has been reduced to 0.02%.

Developer’s Note: We are trying to reduce stress on players' Consumable Inventory tab. Similar to our changes made for Gems, we hope players will be interacting with Elixirs they purposefully crafted.

Whisper Caches will now always only reward items of the specified equipment slot instead of having a chance to include a random item of any equipment slot.

The drop chance of Scroll of Escape has been reduced from 0.1% to 0.025%.

Fiend Roses and Forgotten Souls are no longer required to upgrade non-Sacred or Ancestral items.

The item power ranges for Sacred and Ancestral items have been adjusted.

Sacred:

Previous Range: 625–720

New Range: 625–750

Ancestral:

Previous Range: 725–820

New Range: 780–925

Level Scaling examples. Note this is iPower range for items dropped from Monsters of the listed level:

Sacred:

Level 76: 782–857

Level 100: 830–925

Post Level 100:

Level 102: 832–925

The acquisition rate of Forgotten souls from Salvaging has been adjusted.

Salvaging a Sacred item has a 5% chance to grant a Forgotten Soul.

Salvaging an Ancestral item has a 10% chance to grant a Forgotten Soul.

Two-handed Weapons can grant up to 2 Forgotten Souls from salvage, all other equipment types can grant 1.
