Diablo 4 Loot Reborn Seasonal Pass Overview

Loot Reborn is not like the others. Seasons in Diablo 4 usually feature a new questline, time-limited rewards, and game mechanics- all of which will be available for a limited time. Season 4: Loot Reborn will take on a new theme focusing on overhauling core game systems, itemization, and many end-game changes. Unlike the other seasons in Diablo 4, Loot Reborn will persist beyond the upcoming Season and Eternal Realms.

After the success of PTR (Public Test Realm), the changes are now set to take effect on the release day of Season 4: Loot Reborn. The season will bring about itemization changes, new systems overhaul, Tempering and Masterworking features, and the introduction of new bosses and enemies. World Tiers and Helltide events are also going to undergo changes that will reshape the Season Endgame mechanics of Diablo 4. Lastly, players will team up with the Iron Wolves- a group of seasoned mercenaries to vanquish evil in the Sanctuary.

• NEW: The Pit of Artificers
• NEW Rewards with the Season Journey and Battle Pass

Diablo 4: Loot Reborn General Item Updates

• Item drops are now simplified and are made more rewarding
• Drops have been reduced in number but these items now possess affixes that are more effective
• Affixes have been reduced (3 on Legendary, 2 on Rare Items)
• Blacksmith's required materials to perform services have been reduced
• Forgotten Souls can now be earned from Whisper Bounties, a rare drop from ALL Elites
• Some Uniques now have a chance to drop at World Tier 1 and 2, while the rest becomes available at World Tier 3
• Sacred Items drop at World Tier 3, while Ancestral Items drop at World Tier 4
• Uber Uniques will start appearing when killing Level 55 Monsters (at max Item Power level)

Season of Loot Reborn primarily focuses on reshaping the way itemization works in Diablo 4. One of the changes that it will bring about is the instance of item drops have been reduced while making them individually more powerful. This means fewer items to sort through and you can get to the task at hand of slaying monsters which results in fewer trips back to town. To compensate for the reduced frequency and affixes, Materials gained from Salvaging and Crafting have been adjusted to match these changes.

Aside from these item changes, the Blacksmith will also undergo some changes to match the item density. The Gold cost to re-roll items when Enchanting now has a ceiling limit, and the required materials to perform services at the Blacksmith have now been reduced. 

Uniques, Uber Uniques, Sacred, and Ancestral Item Drops in Diablo 4

The active World Tier now has a direct effect on the rarity of items earned. Sacred Items begin to drop at World Tier 3, while only Ancestral Items will drop at World Tier 4. Legendary Item drops from Level 95 enemies will still come with a lock-in value of 925 Item Power.

Uniques have a different system for drops. Some Uniques are dropped at World Tier 1 and 2, while the rest are dropped at World Tier 3. Uber Uniques on the other hand are chance drops from killing monsters that are Level 55 at MAX Item Power level.

Season 4 Codex of Power Updates in Diablo 4

Extracting Aspects from Legendary items now transfers them to your Codex of Power for indefinite use. Instead of occupying space in your inventory, the Codex of Power now functions as a library storing your most powerful extracted Aspect versions, available for unlimited usage.

The Codex of Power showcases all available Aspects, allowing you to dedicate more time to pursuing the highest Aspect rolls attainable. Upon extracting the Aspect with the maximum potential value, a distinct border indicates its completion. Within the Codex of Power, Aspects can now be marked as favorites, and a tooltip will indicate whether you already own a particular Aspect while browsing. It's important to note that any progress in the Seasonal Realm will be reset upon the end of the Season, and acquired affixes will be saved in the Eternal Realm. Should you possess the same Aspect in the Eternal Realm, the Codex of Power will retain the Aspect with the higher value.

Season 4 Loot Reborn: New Upgrades in Diablo 4

New Greater Affixes in Diablo 4

The Greater Affixes now only appear on Ancestral Legendary and Unique Items. These affixes are 1.5x more powerful than the normal affixes and provide a stronger combat advantage. A distinct audio cue will play whenever an item with a Greater Affix drops to alert players of its presence. It will also show a Unique Icon in the World and within the player's inventory. Greater Affixes are exclusive drops and cannot be acquired differently. They can only be found in World Tiers 3 and 4.

Improved Gems in Diablo 4 

Gems have now been simplified and become more effective across the Sanctuary. Crude Gems have been removed and crafting levels have been shifted back. Normal Gems are now available at Level 51, Flawless at Level 711, and Royal at Level 91. The following changes will apply to the gems:

• Diamonds will increases All Resistance Values
• Topaz now increases Intelligence
• Sapphire now increases Willpower
• Amethyst now increases Strength
• Emeralds now give bonus Dexterity

Diablo 4 Loot Reborn New Features

Helltide Reborn

Helltide gets massive upgrades that will level out the difficulty by increasing the danger of frequency ambushes through Threat level:

More Helltide Changes 

During Helltide Events, a new elixir called Profane Mindcage now has a chance to drop. Consuming this brand new elixir will increase the level of Helltide Monsters by 10 and Cinder Drop rates will be boosted. This elixir is a guaranteed drop from killing Hellborne. To balance out the game, diminishing returns are present on boosted Monster levels closer to the level cap to allow progression in World Tiers while maintaining the same benefit from this powerful elixir.

The Profane Mindcage is a seasonal item and is only available during Season 4: Loot Reborn. As part of the PTR results, Doomsayers will no longer drop Chests of Doomsaying, instead, their previous rewards will not drop on death to remove the unnecessary cost of Cinder.

Defeat the final boss of The Pit to earn endgame upgrade Materials

There are rumours that deep within the network of dungeons crisscrossing the north of Sanctuary, there are strange varieties of ore, perfect for crafting exceptionally crafted armour with secret Horadric techniques.

• Upon entering World Tier IV, you’ll receive a priority Quest to complete a Tier 46 Nightmare Dungeon. Upon completion, you’ll begin to collect Runeshard during endgame activities. Collect enough Runeshard to ultimately activate the Obelisk in Cerrigar.
• Activating the Obelisk will send you to The Pit. Your goal will be to slay enough monsters before a 10-minute timer runs out. Each player death removes time from the clock: the first death removes 30 seconds, the second death removes 60 seconds, and the third and subsequent deaths will remove 90 seconds.

• If you slay enough monsters, a portal will appear, taking you to the boss’s arena.
• Killing the boss before the timer expires will grant you Masterworking materials and unlock the next tier of The Pit.
  • Killing the boss with 4-6 minutes to spare grants you an additional Tier unlock.
  • Killing the boss with 6 or more minutes to spare grants you two additional Tier unlocks.
  • The Pit has hundreds of Tiers of difficulty.
    • If the Mastery timer expires before you finish running through the Pit you’ll still receive loot, but won’t receive any Masterworking materials.
• The Pit can be undertaken with groups of up to four, with the player who opened The Pit receiving the lion’s share of materials.
  • Only the player who opened The Pit has the chance of receiving the Materials used for summoning Tormented Echoes.

Boss Ladder Updates

The Echo of Andariel joins Diablo 4 Boss Ladder

• The Echo of Andariel joins the ladder in our Season 4: Loot Reborn, in the same bracket as her brother Duriel, with the same Uber Unique drop rate. With a mix of Shadow, Fire, Lightning, and her iconic Poison attack, Andariel stands ready to face all who dare fathom her demise.
  • Summoning parts can be acquired from Beast in Ice and Lord Zir.

Stygian Stones can summon Tormented Echoes of ALL Ladder Bosses

• Tormented Echoes of all ladder bosses can be summoned with Stygian Stones, obtained from deep within The Pit.
  • Stygian Stones are needed along with an increased amount of summoning materials, but fear not – they also drop more rewards!
  • Tormented Echoes will be level 200.
  • All items dropped are item level 925.
  • Defeating your first Tormented Echo drops one Resplendent Spark as a first-time reward (account bound).

Yet, amidst their ranks, a mysterious series of deaths has arisen, casting a shadow of suspicion. Uncover the root of this enigmatic slaughter to gain the favor of the Iron Wolves.

Furthermore, any Iron Wolf Events encountered during Helltide will persist beyond Season 4: Loot Reborn.

Season Journey and Battle Pass Rewards for Loot Reborn

Just like in every Seasons in Diablo 4, players can earn various rewards as they progress the Season Journey and the Battle Pass. The Season Journey is broken down into Chapters, filled with different objectives as you progress through the Season. Completing one objective will grant players a small reward, and completing a full Chapter will grant even bigger rewards to fuel their determination!

As players complete objectives, they will be able to earn new Legendary Aspects and 3 Scrolls of Amnesia (Skill Tree and Paragon Board Reset). Just like before, the Season Journey will also reward players will Favor, the resource used to climb the Battle Pass tier exclusive to the New Season in Diablo 4. Additionally, Favor can be earned by naturally playing the game.

The Loot Reborn Battle Pass will become active on January 23, the same release date as the Season of Construct, and will offer 90 Reward Tiers: 28 Free and 62 Premium Tiers.

Players who get the Premium Battle Pass will also enjoy Awoken Armor Sets, Platinum, and more cosmetics such as Spheral Barding Mount Armor and Awoken Clockwork Equir Mount at Tier 90.

Smolderish Ashes earned from the Free Tiers can be spent on Season Blessings that provide helpful buffs and bonuses that can help you combat the evil forces. There are three new Blessings for the Season 4: Loot Reborn:

• Urn of Iron: Boost your reputation with the Iron Wolves from Helltide activities.
• Urn of Burning Obols: Boost the amount of Obols you can find in Helltide chests, which contain Obols during this season.

Obtain Fabled Threads from Tejal's Shop in Diablo 4 

Prepare for all new cosmetics that will be available at the Store, where an array of fresh Equipment, Armor, Accessories, Mounts, and Mount Armor bundles await to elevate your battle prowess in style. Beginning May 14, make a point to drop by Tejal's emporium to peruse her items for sale. Be sure to return frequently, as she'll continuously refresh her inventory during Season 4: Loot Reborn. Among the coveted treasures unearthed from the distant corners of Sanctuary is the esteemed Demon’s Heart Bundle tailored for barbarians, boasting the illustrious Demonheart Armor Set accompanied by two Demonheart Weapon Cosmetics.

Preparing for a New Season in Diablo 4

Seasons in Diablo 4 means you also get seasonal characters. All your characters will start anew, and players will all begin to farm and level up their characters. However, this is optional and players can opt to remain in the Eternal Season. Take note that Eternal Realms will not have the current features of the season. There are some details and explorations that will translate over to the new season such as:

• Overall Story Progress
• Altars of Lilith
• Map Discovery
• Renown
• Potion Charges
• Skill Points

All of these will last across all seasons so players will not have to re-do them again. This feature also encourages players to explore and try different classes. Additionally, with some of the retained progress, players will be able to focus on the Season Journey, participating in the Seasonal Events, and progressing the Battle Pass, whether it's Free, Premium, or Accelerated Battle Pass. 

How to Access Loot Reborn?

To participate in the new upcoming season on May 14, Wanderers must create a new character on the Seasonal Realm. This is a free feature offered to all owners of Diablo 4. However, players must have completed the Main Campaign on at least one of the characters on the Eternal Realm during any of the previous seasons. Once the main campaign has been completed, Wanderers can now participate in Loot Reborn.

As they begin their new journey in the Seasonal Realm, the following options will be available:

• Skip the Campaign
• Mount is available immediately
• All Altars of Lilith are unlocked, and the Renown Points will be retained
• All previously discovered maps and the corresponding Renown Points will be retained

Once the season ends, which is roughly 3 months, the progress that you have made on the Seasonal Realm will be transferred to the Eternal Realms. This includes all the items you collected on your Seasonal stash, but season-specific features will not be carried over.

Diablo 4 Loot Reborn Completion Tips

The Season Journey in Diablo 4

The Season Journey serves as the tangible system for player progression in the game's Seasons mechanic. Season Journeys for Diablo 4 provides a linear progression of sets of objectives, that work hand in hand with the game's Battle Pass system, and the player's new journey with a new character.

The Season Journeys are made up of several Chapters that players will progress through clearing different Objectives. Clearing each objective will garner a small reward while clearing all Objectives to ultimately clear a Chapter will give players an even bigger reward. These objectives will span in doing PvP and other non-PVP events such as defeating World Bosses, completing Vaults, and participating in local events.
