Diablo 4 Seasonal Event: Midwinter Blight
Midwinter Blight: Details and Overview in Diablo 4
The Midwinter Blight introduces new Quests and Activities to ring in the winter along with a storm that has taken over Fractured Peaks. This event is the first holiday event introduced in Diablo 4.
- Starting Location: Kyovashad
- Event Location: Fractured Peaks
- Duration: 3 Week Event
- Event Date: December 12, 2023 - January 2, 2023
- Season Start: Season of Blood
Midwinter Blight begins in Kyovashad where players will encounter a Bard named Gillian around the Hibernal Square who warns of the incoming storm. Players will also find the Totem of Midwinter in the same location in Kyovashad which will play a part in the event which will predominantly take place in Fractured Peaks. Players will face new foes like Blightfiends and the Red Cloaked Horror while completing new objectives to progress in this season's event.
To begin participating in the event, players will travel to Kyovashad and look for the new NPC called Gileon found west of the Waypoint. Gileon is a Bard rallying people to come together and defeat the rising evil called the Red-Cloaked Horror terrorizing Fractured Peaks. Participating during this limited-time event will drop seasonal materials that players can exchange at the Collection's Table for various rewards. The list of Midwinter Blight rewards can be found in the Rewards section of this page.
Players can earn additional rewards by leveling up the Midwinter Tribute. The Midwinter Tribute gains experience each time they exchange materials for 1 Midwinter Proof. Players can reach Tier 6 Midwinter Tribute for the maximum rewards which include gold rewards and a total of 3 Greater Midwinter Spoils.
Midwinter Blight Rewards in Diablo 4
By participating in Midwinter Blight, players can earn a number of Cosmetic Items for a selection of weapons and gear, as well as some trophies. You can find the full list of Midwinter Blight Rewards below:
- 14 All-New Cosmetics
- Two New Titles for eliminating the event boss (Red-Cloaked Horror)
- NEW: Gileon's Brew (Magic Elixir)
- NEW: Shard of Dawn (Offensive Aspect)
- NEW: Midwinter Purse
- NEW: Midwinter Spoils
- NEW: Greater Midwinter Spoils
The cosmetics alone will cost a total of 440 Midwinter Proofs and during our playthrough, it took 15 minutes to farm materials equivalent to 10 Midwinter Proofs using a Level 86 Build. This number may vary depending on how fast and efficient your current build is at farming materials.
Once you have collected enough Midwinter Proofs return to Kyovashad and look for the Vendor to exchange for rewards and new items. Below, you will find the list of items and prices you can buy with the Midwinter Proofs. It is recommended to purchase the limited-event rewards before spending your Midwinter Proofs on caches.
The Midwinter Spoils are ideal if you need coins that can be used for enhancing your gear. You can get as much as 1,000,000 gold from a single Midwinter Purse. Meanwhile, the Midwinter Spoils drops a collection of random Armor, gem Fragments, and possibly a dose of Gileon's Brew, which regularly costs 1 Midwinter Proof.
Diablo 4 Blighted Revelry: New Midwinter Blight Event
The Red-Cloaked Horror poses a threat to the citizens of Fractured Peaks. Players will find this new boss after completing the Mastery for the Blighted Revelry event, which randomly spawns in any of the event areas in Fractured Peaks. During this event, players will begin by lighting up a bonfire that will melt down the surrounding Frigid Husks while enemies are swarming in to attack.
Players will be challenged to protect the bonfire from the enemies while staying alive. After some time, players can destroy the Frigid Husks, and the Red-Cloaked Horror will appear if you complete the Mastery level. The Mastery level requires the player to complete the event in approximately 1 minute and 50 seconds.
The Red-Cloaked Horror will drop the Red-Cloaked Trophy upon defeat and will reward players with two new Titles: Frigid and Reveler upon defeating it for the first time. The Red-Cloaked Trophy can be used to exchange for 1 Midwinter Proof. Visit the vendor in Kyovashad to exchange your items.
Midwinter Blight New Materials, Currency, and Rewards for Exchange in Diablo 4
During the Midwinter Blight event, there will be new materials and currency for players to collect and exchange to obtain time-limited rewards. Midwinter Proof is the new seasonal currency that can be used to purchase Midwinter Rewards from Gileon at the Midwinter Square in Kyovashad. There are 3 ways for players to obtain the new seasonal currency:
Blighted Fragment
Lost Heirloom
Red-Cloaked Trophy
Similar to a Helltide event in Diablo 4, the following materials can be found within the purple-marked zone of the Midwinter Blight. Once players have collected enough materials, they can exchange them at the Collection's Table in Kyovashad, located next to Gileon. Players can use the Midwinter Proofs to buy various time-limited rewards such as cosmetics, an offensive aspect, and a new magical elixir.
- Blighted Fragment: Can be collected from fallen Blightfiends. [300 Blighted Fragment for 1 Midwinter Proof]
- Lost Heirlooms: Can be collected by destroying Frigid Husks, found scattered within the Midwinter Blight area. This is a structure similar to other destroyable world items. [30 Lost Heirlooms for 1 Midwinter Proof]
- Red-Cloaked Trophy: Can be collected by killing the Red-Cloaked Horror, the new seasonal boss. [1 Red-Cloaked Trophy for 1 Midwinter Proof]
Midwinter Blight Vendor List of Rewards and Costs in Diablo 4
From the same vendor, players may also buy the Shard of Dawn Offensive Aspect and the new Magical Elixir, Gileon's Brew. Additionally, there are Midwinter Caches that can be exchanged with the vendor at Midwinter Square. Each of the caches contains valuable rewards such as Armor, Gem Fragments, and a chance to receive a Gileon's Brew. Cosmetics are the most expensive item that you can buy from the Vendor which ranges from 20-50 Midwinter Proof per item.
Reward |
Cost |
Backpiece Cosmetic | 50x Midwinter Proof |
Mount Trophy | 30x Midwinter Proof |
Weapon Cosmetic | 20x Midwinter Proof |
Shard of Dawn Aspect | 10x Midwinter Proof |
Midwinter Purse | 1x Midwinter Proof |
Midwinter Spoils | 1x Midwinter Proof |
Gileon's Brew | 1x Midwinter Proof |
Midwinter Proof Exchange Mechanics and The Midwinter Tribute in Diablo 4
During the Midwinter Blight event, players will earn additional rewards each time they exchange materials into Midwinter Proof. Every exchange will contribute a specific amount of experience towards leveling your Midwinter Square and Midwinter Tribute. The cosmetics alone will cost a total of 440 Midwinter Proofs and during our playthrough, it took 15 minutes to farm 10 Midwinter Proofs using a Level 86 Build. This number may vary depending on how fast and efficient your current build is at farming materials. You can also check out our Builds pages to learn about our own Diablo 4 Builds.
Players will earn better rewards the more they level up the Midwinter Tribute, which can go all the way up to Tier 6. The rewards per tier are as follows:
- Tier 1: 10,000 Gold
- Tier 2: Unlocks Greater Midwinter Spoils
- Tier 3: 25,000 Gold (+ Midwinter Ward)
- Tier 4: Unlocks Greater Midwinter Spoils
- Tier 5: 50,000 Gold
- Tier 6: Unlocks Greater Midwinter Spoils
These rewards that players can get are obtained from leveling the Midwinter Tribute. Each time they exchange 300 Blighted Fragments, they will earn 10XP. 30 Lost Heirlooms will give 20 XP, and 1 Red-Cloaked Trophy will net players with 30 XP.
NEW Diablo 4 Season: Season of Blood
A new threat is once again posed to wreak havoc in Sanctuary, as the Dark Master commands his legion of sanguine-driven monsters to set their fangs on all the regions of unfortunate humanity. While vampiric danger is not new to the world of Sanctuary, this vampire threat proves to be different and more formidable. Therefore, the wander will have to fight a new way by harnessing Vampiric Powers themselves to combat the infestation. With the help of Erys, the vampire hunter who came up with this very realization, this new Season will have you harness new sanguine powers to destroy the new threat. New features go live on October 17, bringing a new Season Journey, Questline, five new Endgame Bosses, Dungeons, Battlepass, and more. The new season features a new mechanic for the player called Vampiric Powers, 12 new Unique Items, 7 new Legendary Aspects, and 10 new Paragon Glyphs.
For more in-depth information about the Season of Blood and all the new features it brings or improves, visit our page here.
As with the previous Season of the Malignant, to participate in the new upcoming season on October 17, 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, or Season 0. Once the main campaign has been completed, Wanderers can now participate in Season of Blood. To begin, players will be given the option to:
- Skip the Campaign
- Mount is available immediately for use on Seasonal Realm
- All Altars of Lilith are unlocked, and the Renown Points will be retained
- All Paragon Points and Obol Cap increases from the Renown System will be retained (NEW)
- All previously discovered maps and the corresponding Renown Points will be retained
Diablo 4 Season of Blood: Bloodseekers and Vampires
In the new Season of Blood, the wanderer will endeavor to cleanse Sanctuary of an ever-growing vampire threat. Lord Zir, the Dark Master, threatens to bleed Sanctuary dry as it gets overrun by his sanguine generals, the Blood Seekers, by his command. Faced with overwhelming odds, the wanderer must use the legion's Vampiric Powers against them.
Diablo 4 New Endgame Bosses
The new Season of Blood brings with it five new Endgame Bosses that players can attempt to overcome for their valuable treasures. These new Bosses are only available in certain World Tiers, and are introduced with a new mechanic of summoning them in their respective Locations in Sanctuary. Doing so requires collecting materials that are acquired from finishing other Endgame content, such as high-level Helltide Events, high-tier Nightmare Dungeons, and destroying other Bosses over and over again. Players brave enough to face these new difficult threats are now able to farm them for Unique Items specific to each of their pools of loot. The Echo of Duriel, the new level 100 Boss, has Uber Unique Items in his loot pool. This new feature seems to be in response to player feedback of there not being enough opportunities for farming Uber Unique Items, and for target-farming specific Unique Items for their character Builds.
For more in-depth information about the new Endgame Bosses Season of Blood and their different pools of loot, visit our page here.
Diablo 4 Season of Blood New Questline
Erys is a skilled Vampire Hunter who has successfully routed myriads of vampires. However, this threat is different, and she is out to get at the root of the problem - Lord Zir, the Dark Master. Throughout the new Questline, she will be your reluctant guide. Much like Cormond, she will help you throughout your journey and will be a pivotal character for the Season's storyline. As you contract Vampirism, enabling you to use your Enemies' Vampiric Powers against them, she will be wary and guarded, seeing as her whole mission is to destroy vampires. Nevertheless, she will prove to be a strong ally in the fights to come.
Diablo 4 Season of Blood: New Vampiric Powers
Unlike most other powers, like the Malignant Hearts of the last Season, none of the all-new Vampiric Powers will be tied at all to any Class. Players will be able to learn and equip their first Vampiric Power shortly into the new Questline, during the Quest The Hunter's Chase. There are twenty-two new Vampiric Powers in total that players will be able to build into their characters for the Season of Blood. Vampire Powers can be managed through their own new tab on the Character menu.
On the Vampiric Powers tab, players can click on the option to spend Potent Blood which will allow them to randomly either improve or unlock new powers. The system makes it so that players will have to choose from three randomly selected Vampiric Powers, locked or unlocked, to spend their Potent Blood on. If a locked Vampiric Power is chosen, it will be unlocked and ready for the player to use. If it is unlocked, it will be improved instead. Vampiric Powers can be improved up to two times, for a maximum level of three. The wanderer can equip a maximum of five Vampiric Powers at a time.
Each Vampiric Power will also come with activation costs, which players must fulfill by having the right Pacts in their armor, and the right number of them to satisfy the activation costs.
For more in-depth information and a full list of all the Vampiric Powers, visit our page here.
Diablo 4 Season 2: New Gear
The hunt resumes once again in Diablo 4 with the arrival of 12 new Unique Items, 7 new Legendary Aspects, and 10 new Paragon Glyphs. Along your journey in the new Season of Blood, there will be powerful options for each class, lending more customization options, especially with the added consideration of Pact Amor for Vampiric Powers. New cosmetics will also be available, both in clearing Endgame content and through the renewal of Battlepass.
Diablo 4 Season of Blood: T.w.i.t.c.h Drops
For a set period of time, players can tune into their favourite Diablo 4 streamers for a minimum of four hours every week to be eligible to claim a piece of Orichalcum Set Cosmetics. The following time periods are set in PDT:

Since the initial announcements, Endgame Closed beta has been confirmed and World Level, and Skull System Mechanics have been discussed in a few interviews with developers. Diablo 4 was initially announced during the 2019 Blizzcon and was introduced with a cinematic trailer. Diablo 4 will continue the series and begin with Lilith's return to Sanctuary.
Similar features are expected to return such as familiar Classes from previous titles, the unique difficulty system, and a continuation of the storyline. Much like Diablo Immortal, Diablo 4 will feature a number of available in-game items for purchase, however, developers had wanted to ensure fans that these purchases will not offer any in-game benefits or power, but are bought to further customize characters according to different aesthetics and cosmetic preferences.
The initial announcements of the game have already introduced some features that can be found through the Beta stages that are open to a small pool of current Diablo players. These players must have their Battle.net setting set to receive marketing and emails in order to receive the invitation if chosen. The End Game Beta will introduce Helltide (Event), Nightmare Dungeons, Whispers of the Dead, Fields of Hatred (PvP), and Paragon Boards. However, further details on these features may not be released during this period, so those with the invitation will have exclusive access to any unique features found in Diablo 4.

The Story and Setting for Diablo 4
Lilith has returned to Sanctuary, summoned by a dark ritual after eons in exile. Her return ushers in an age of darkness and misery.
Following the previous titles in the series, Diablo 4 is set years after the happenings of Diablo 3 take place. Diablo 4 tells the full story of Lilith’s return to Sanctuary. The endless battle between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells rages on as chaos threatens to consume Sanctuary. With ceaseless demons to slaughter, countless Abilities to master, nightmarish Dungeons, and Legendary loot, this vast, open world brings the promise of adventure and devastation. Survive and conquer darkness – or succumb to the shadows.
"The dream continues to haunt me old friend. It always starts with a journey to a distant land. There I find a city in flames. Streets choked with corpses. Unthinkable destruction. I witness senseless slaughter. Brother against brother. Pure hatred. And then, executions. And then suffering surrounded me until my turn comes. It burned my eyes. Break my bones. I wake in terror. There's no-one left to stand against them. You think me mad, old friend. But I know these dreams. They tell of the future. Hell is coming, brother. Hell is coming."
-- Trailer Script
Legends of Creation
An old legend has it that Sanctuary was created by the union of an angel and a demon, and that their descendants—humanity—built villages, then cities and empires, spreading across the land to form the world's cultures and civilization.
A Reign of Enmity
Chaos threatens to consume Sanctuary as evil and impiety continue to spread. Depraved demons and corrupted wildlife roam the land unchecked, as terrified townsfolk huddle in dark corners trying to survive one more day.
Cult of Personality
The pious plead for guidance from their faith, but doubts have them feeling that their devotion is misplaced. Lilith's return has spawned a new wave of cultists and worshippers, but regardless of dogma, all prayers remain unanswered.
Daughter of Hatred
The daughter of Mephisto awakens burning urges in the hearts of those around her, be it demon, human or beast. Profound fears, unchecked rage, repressed impulses, sinful desires—all are brought forth violently and irresistibly by her mere presence.
Unstoppable Evil
As darkness returns to Sanctuary, a brave few dare to face this threat. But what fate awaits them in a land forsaken by hope, valor, wisdom, and justice?
Unique Combat and Gameplay Mechanics in Diablo 4
What is new in Diablo 4?
A few of the features below are what we have gathered from Blizzard's regular quarterly updates following the initial announcements of Diablo 4. Until its release, the developers are continuously taking in feedback from the community and continue to make changes to improve different mechanics and systems to work towards a great release.
- Itemization: Developers have expressed their desire to strengthen Class identities to further enhance build customization and give each classes more unique features on their own.
- Skills & Talents: This is a new system where experience can now be spent to unlock Skill and build your unique skill tree combination to add depth to each build.
- Legendary Items: Changes are being made to legendary items to bring more focus and value to other aspects and features in the game, so that players are not relyant on obtaining legendary items and the best equipment.
- Stats: Players can expect new stats that are different from the regulars seen in previous games.
- Class Mechanics: Each Class in Diablo 4, comes with a unique Class Mechanic that governs their playstyle and abilities, allowing to further customize the selected Class, as well as doting it with a distintive and unique system.
What Classes are in Diablo 4?
As of the initial announcements, the 5 Classes of Diablo 4 have been released seeing some returning familiar Classes from previous installments. The Heroes of the Sanctuary of Diablo 4 are the Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and the Sorcerer.
The Barbarian has unparalleled strength and expertly wields an entire arsenal in battle, with a weapon for every occasion. He bellows intimidating war cries and unleashes ground-shaking slams to send approaching hordes reeling.
The Druid is a savage shapeshifter, fluidly transforming between the forms of a towering bear or a vicious werewolf to fight alongside the creatures of the wild. He also commands the power of earth, wind, and storm, unleashing nature’s wrath to devastating effect.
A Necromancer’s dominion over life and death grants this grisly apothecary the ability to summon skeleton armies and golems, and to unleash baneful poison, curse, and bone skills upon his foes.
The Rogue is an adaptable, agile warrior who can specialize in ranged or close quarters combat. She can best any foe with her imbued weapons, perform powerful combo attacks, and can augment her arsenal with deadly poisons and shadow magic to slay demons with impunity.
The Sorceress shapes the elements into whatever form is necessary to ensure victory, from hurling bolts of lightning, impaling her foes upon jagged spikes of ice, and raining flaming meteors down from the sky.
