What’s on the Season 4 Menu?

This season is a game-changer. Here’s a glimpse of what awaits:

Loot Reborn Revamps Core Systems

This season goes beyond typical seasonal content. It permanently overhauls core gameplay across both Seasonal and Eternal Realms. A major focus is itemization. Gear acquisition, functionality, and upgrades during World Tier progression are revamped. Items are easier to understand, with complexity and customization shifting to the new Tempering and Masterworking crafting systems.

Permanent Helltide Changes and New Threat Levels

Helltide events become permanently available at all World Tiers, with difficulty adjustments. A new Threat Level system dynamically increases danger and ambush frequency. Reaching Threat Level 3 unleashes a powerful demonic foe called a Hellborn.

New Endgame Challenge

Loot Reborn introduces The Pit, an endgame challenge for groups of four. Players accumulate Runeshards to enter The Pit, where they must slay enemies and a boss within a time limit. Success rewards valuable Masterworking materials and a chance to delve deeper into its escalating difficulty (200 levels!).

New Bosses and Activities

Andariel the Maiden of Anguish joins the roster as a summonable boss, offering a challenge comparable to her brother Duriel. Additionally, Level 200 players can summon Tormented Echo variants of all bosses using Stygian Stones found within The Pit, promising even greater rewards.
