Diablo IV Inside the Game: The World of Sanctuary

 Season 28: Rites of Sanctuary

Season 28 introduces Rites of Sanctuary, the new seasonal theme. Using the ancient Altar of Rites, curious Nephalem can follow the instructions, sacrificing various materials for unspeakable power that lasts the entire season.

Seal and Legendary Potion Powers

After unlocking the first Seal, the order in which you unlock additional Seals and obtain their powers is entirely up to you and which powers align with your character’s build the most. Once a Seal or Legendary Potion Power is unlocked, you’ll immediately receive that Seal or Potion’s power and will have the ability to unlock connected Seals or Potions once you have the required materials. All Seals and Potions can be unlocked by players and the powers apply to all your characters—these powers last for the entirety of Season 28.

How to Unlock Seals and Potions

Unlocking Seals and Potions will be no easy feat, especially after multiple sacrifices—you’ll find yourself rummaging across Sanctuary slaying scores of demons hellbent on preventing you from acquiring the Altar of Rites’ full power.

Players must gather materials listed in the Altar of Rites menu and sacrifice them in order to gain a Seal or Potion’s power. In addition to receiving the power after unlocking, you’ll notice the generic text previously displayed has been swapped with a small story scrap about Sanctuary’s tumultuous past.

To unlock a Seal, the one preceding it must be unlocked first (this does not apply to Seals R, S, and T because of how they’re positioned within the Altar). For example, if you want to unlock Seal B or C, Seal A must already be unlocked. There is no limit to how many Seals or Potions can be unlocked within a given time period, if you have the required materials to sacrifice to the Altar. Regardless of the order in which you unlock Seals and Potions, the cost will increase as shown below.

Costs to Unlock a Seal or Legendary Potion Power

Season 28 begins on Friday, February 24th at 5:00pm in each region. Season 28 goes live on all Consoles world wide at 5:00pm PST, the same time as PC in North America. For timezone conversion, visit this site!

 Haedrig's Gift & Seasonal Rewards

Completing Chapters 2, 3, and 4 of the Seasonal Journey will reward you with three of Haedrig’s Gifts. Each Gift contains a few pieces from one of your Class Sets. Players can only unlock one Class Set in this manner per Season across Hardcore and Non-Hardcore, so choose wisely!

The set you will receive depends on the class of the character you’re playing when you open each Haedrig’s Gift. To collect a full Class Set, you’ll need to open all three on the same character.

Here are the sets granted by Haedrig’s Gift in Season 28:

• Barbarian – Horde of the Ninety Savages
  
• Crusader – Aegis of Valor
  
• Demon Hunter – Gears of Dreadlands
  
• Monk – Patterns of Justice
  
• Necromancer – Masquerade of the Burning Carnival
  
• Witch Doctor – Mundunugu's Regalia
  
• Wizard – Typhon's Veil
  

In Season 17, Blizzard began re-introducing previous Seasonal rewards to make them available to players who may have missed them the first time around. This means that for Season 28, awards originally available from Season 16 are returning to the Season Journey.

Blizzard is continuing to provide new End of Journey rewards as was introduced in Season 17, with two new cosmetic rewards for those who complete the entirety of the Season Journey. These rewards will be the Primal Hunter portrait and Taennin the Tiny pet.

Additionally, after you’ve conquered the armies of Hell and acquired the needed materials to unlock all 26 Seals and three Potions, you’ll receive a reward truly fitting of an unstoppable force—the Wings of Terror Cosmetic, Seal AD.

 Seasonal Conquests

 Want to prepare your Conquests plans for Season 28? Here are all the conquests you'll face this season!

Weapon Upgrade & Gambling Suggestions:

If you wait to complete the weekly Challenge Rift for after Season 28 begins, you will be able to begin your season with a stack of materials and gold to jump start your progress! Because of this, it's possible to upgrade a level 70 rare crafted weapon to a legendary and extract that power into your cube to give yourself a damage modifier for leveling. Additionally, with the starting Blood Shards you can gain access to specific items from Kadala at level 1. You will find our item upgrade and blood shard gambling suggestions for the start of this season below!

Ultimate Seasonal Starter Guide:

Level With A Cause

Level With A Cause (#LWAC), a coalition of streamers from the Diablo III community, will be uniting once again for a charity fundraising event during the first three days of the Season 28 opening weekend in Diablo III. This marks the team’s 17th event over the last few years. Several Diablo III community members will be holding live-streams during this weekend in support of this charity drive. During these live-streams, viewers will be able to donate to the SaveTheChildren charity organization. 

Level With A Cause was founded prior to the start of Season 11 of Diablo III and has been a mainstay of the opening weekend of each new season since that time. The LWAC team has raised over $100,000 to date for deserving charities such as Save The Children, St Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and Take This. LWAC hopes to continue to grow and raise even more money for charities in the future. If you are a streamer looking to participate, more info can be found on the LWAC website. As a viewer, you can simply search for LWAC within stream titles on Twitch during the August 26th to 28th event.

​

In the U.S. and around the world, Save The Children gives children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, they are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. They do whatever it takes to save children, transforming their lives and the future we share.

You can donate to the Level With a Cause charity event here!

Season 28 Theme

“Oh, the pursuit of coin makes you do the most foolish things, but mining is profitable. Our search for ancient Nephalem artifacts forces us to enter a mangled mass of corroding foliage and decaying flora. We chipped away at stone after stone until my tool made a hardy thunk into the rock and the foulest stream of gas spewed out. The other miners helped me dig out the biggest artifact I've ever seen—an ominous-looking altar. As we began to investigate this curious find, a faint whisper infiltrated my thoughts. It was not one voice, but a collective. Who they are I'm unsure of, but I can be certain that we must share our discovery with others. We began the long haul back to New Tristram with our prized discovery. A few days passed, many townsfolk came to view the Altar and left. Then, the Nephalem marched into town and requested to see the Altar. . .”
-New Tristram Miner

 

Season 28 introduces Rites of Sanctuary, our new seasonal theme. Using the ancient Altar of Rites, curious Nephalem can follow the instructions, sacrificing various materials for unspeakable power that lasts the entire season.

Developer's Note: Our aim with this Season Theme was to enhance the journey players experience each season by tying material goals to meaningful choices. As we look towards Diablo IV's release, we wanted to celebrate its arrival with a feature that emphasizes progression as well as offer some interesting details about Sanctuary. We hope you enjoy the Rites of Sanctuary as much as we do.

---

Season Cosmetic Rewards

Beginning with Season 17, we began reintroducing previous rewards to make them available to players who may have missed them the first time around. For Season 28, this means rewards originally available from Season 16 are returning. In addition to the Helm and Shoulder slots of the exclusive Conqueror Set, players can earn a brand-new series of portrait frames themed around the clarion call of adventure. For the most devoted cosmetic collectors, we have a pair of wings fit for a monarch. The Wings of Lempo draw inspiration from some of the noblest creatures in Sanctuary, and aside from a cosmically rare drop, few other wings are quite as lovely.

 

 

As in past seasons, two new End of Journey cosmetic rewards will be obtainable during Season 28. Gaze upon the Taennin the Tiny pet as she shimmers among the stars, leaving ripples of the purest light behind, and tap into your wild side with the Primal Hunter portrait.

---

Season Journey Rewards

If you’ve been diligently slaying demons to reach Conquerer in the Season Journey previously, you’ve surely accrued extra stash tabs. You’ll earn one additional tab each Season by finishing the Conquerer tier, up to a maximum of five:

Haedrig’s Gift

Completing Chapters II, III, and IV of the Season Journey will reward you with three of Haedrig’s Gifts. These contain a few pieces from one of your Class Sets. Players can only unlock one Class Set in this manner per Season across Hardcore and Non-Hardcore, so choose wisely!

Patch Notes

Below you’ll find the patch notes for the upcoming update to Diablo III: Patch 2.7.5. This patch goes live on February 21 at 11:30 a.m. PST.

Note: All changes apply to all versions of Diablo III, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC unless otherwise indicated.

Season 28: Rites of Sanctuary

For Season 28, Rites of Sanctuary, we’re travelling deep into the mysterious ruins of the Festering Woods. Amid a mining expedition, citizens hailing from New Tristram stumbled across an ominous Altar carved from an archaic material bearing cryptic markings. Shaken to their core by the eldritch aroma of the monolith, they’ve enlisted the assistance of brave Nephalem willing to investigate this sinister discovery that was once left to time—the Altar of Rites.

 

Home to power thought to be extinct from Sanctuary, the Altar of Rites will bestow these mystic forces upon worthy Nephalem. . .after a sacrifice is offered. You can begin interacting with the Altar of Rites at Level one.

 

Upon arrival at the Altar of Rites, players will see 26 icons called Seals and three Legendary Potion Powers. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the elements below.

 

Seal and Legendary Potion Powers

Seal	Power
A	Your Kill Streak timer duration and reward bonus are doubled.
B	Pools of Reflection last for the entire Season and are not removed by death.
C	Items have no level requirement.
D	+200 Damage
E	+25% Missile Damage Reduction
F	+25% Movement Speed (Uncapped)
G	Increase damage against elites by 15%.
H	Picking up Health Globes grants a shield for 5% of your maximum health for 7 seconds. Max stacks 5.
I	+25% Melee Damage Reduction.
J	Increases your highest elemental skill damage bonus by 10%.
K	Increase damage against elites by 20%.
L	+10% Damage +20% Damage
M	Double the amount of Death's Breaths that drop.
N	Critical hits grant resource: Mana: 15, Hatred: 5, Wrath: 5, Arcane Power: 3, Fury: 3, Spirit: 5, Essence: 5.
O	Double the amount of Bounty Caches that drop from completing bounties.
P	Progress orbs from Nephalem and Greater Rifts are automatically picked up. Progress orbs from Nephalem and Greater Rifts are automatically picked up within 60 yards.
Q	Reduces the damage taken from elites by 25%.
R	15% Damage +30% Damage
S	Gain immunity to crowd-controlling effects.
T	Gain passability.
U	Pets pick up Death's Breath.
V	Elite packs drop one additional progress orb.
W	Increase damage done to Bosses by 25%.
X	Pets pick up and salvage common, magic, and rare items.
Y	Increase your chance to Dodge by 15%.
Z	Double the chance to find a legendary item purchased from Kadala.
Potion AA	When you drink your health potion, you manifest one of three runic circles on the ground that grant increased damage, increased cooldown reduction, or increased resource cost reduction.
Potion AB	When you drink your health potion, all enemies within 25 yards deal 25% less damage.
Potion AC	When you drink your health potion, gain a random shrine or pylon effect. When you drink your health potion, gain a random shrine or the Dimensional Power pylon effect.
AD	When a primal item drops, a second random primal item drops as well.

Developer's Note: We wanted the seasonal theme to be powerful and rewarding, but Conduit pylon completely broke the game. So, we made some adjustments to keep the power level high, while having your character's progression still matter. We have removed all pylons from the final potion power and replaced them with a 16-second Dimensional Power pylon. To compensate for the power decrease, we buffed several damage Seals elsewhere in the tree.

How Seals and Potions Work

As you can see, after unlocking the first Seal, the order in which you unlock additional Seals and obtain their powers is entirely up to you and which powers align with your character’s build the most. Once a Seal or Legendary Potion Power is unlocked, you’ll immediately receive that Seal or Potion’s power and will have the ability to unlock connected Seals or Potions once you have the required materials. All Seals and Potions can be unlocked by players and the powers apply to all your characters—these powers last for the entirety of Season 28.

 

How to Unlock Seals and Potions

Unlocking Seals and Potions will be no easy feat, especially after multiple sacrifices—you’ll find yourself rummaging across Sanctuary slaying scores of demons hellbent on preventing you from acquiring the Altar of Rites’ full power.

 

Players must gather materials listed in the Altar of Rites menu and sacrifice them in order to gain a Seal or Potion’s power. In addition to receiving the power after unlocking, you’ll notice the generic text previously displayed has been swapped with a small story scrap about Sanctuary’s tumultuous past.

 

To unlock a Seal, the one preceding it must be unlocked first (this does not apply to Seals R, S, and T because of how they’re positioned within the Altar). For example, if you want to unlock Seal B or C, Seal A must already be unlocked. There is no limit to how many Seals or Potions can be unlocked within a given time period, if you have the required materials to sacrifice to the Altar. Regardless of the order in which you unlock Seals and Potions, the cost will increase as shown below.

 

Study the cost of each sacrifice and theorize where within Sanctuary you can find some of these rare materials.

 

Costs to Unlock a Seal or Legendary Potion Power

#	Cost
1	10 Reusable Parts
2	1 Flawless Diamond (or greater), 15 Arcane Dust, 20 Resuable Parts
3	1 Greater Rift Key, 10 Death's Breaths
4	Any Class Specific Set Helm
5	20 Forgotten Souls, 10 Khanduran Runes, 10 Caldeum Nightshade, 10 Arreat War Tapestry, 10 Corrupted Angel Flesh, 10 Westmarch Holy Water
6	1 Leoric's Regret, 1 Vial of Putridness, 1 Idol of Terror, 1 Heart of Fright
7	Reaper's Wraps
8	30 Forgotten Souls
9	1,100 Bloodshards
10	1 Flawless Royal Ruby, 20 Death's Breaths, Ring of Royal Grandeur
11	1 Flawless Royal Emerald, 30 Khanduran Runes, 30 Caldeum Nightshade, 30 Arreat War Tapestry, 30 Corrupted Angel Flesh, 30 Westmarch Holy Water
12	20 Greater Rift Keys, 1 Ramaladni's Gift
13	1,300 Bloodshards
14	Petrified Scream
15	Challenge Rift Cache
16	250 Forgotten Souls
17	1,400 Bloodshards
18	Ancient Hellfire Amulet
19	One Never Ending Questions Four Tome of Set Dungeon Pages from your class. See the chart below for more information.
20	Ancient Puzzle Ring, 50 Khanduran Runes, 50 Caldeum Nightshade, 50 Arreat War Tapestry, 50 Corrupted Angel Flesh, 50 Westmarch Holy Water
21	500 Death's Breaths, 300 Forgotten Souls
22	1,500 Bloodshards
23	Whisper of Atonement Rank 125
24	Any Augmented Weapon
25	Staff of Herding
26	1,600 Bloodshards
Potion 1	55 Primordial Ashes
Potion 2	110 Primordial Ashes
Potion 3	165 Primordial Ashes

Completing this sacrifice does so for all other character classes on your account.

• Barbarian:
  • 12, 14, 18, 22
• Crusader:
  • 31, 35, 37, 40
• Demon Hunter:
  • 52, 56, 60, 63
• Monk:
  • 71, 74, 78, 83
• Necromancer:
  • 85, 86, 90, 92
• Witch Doctor:
  • 93, 97, 101, 106
• Wizard:
  • 112, 121, 126, 130

Developer's Note: We agree that obtaining Never Ending Questions was more difficult than desired. We decided to direct players to collect the necessary sets to enter Set Dungeons and provide proof at the Altar of Rites.

Uncover an Ancient Legend—Unlock All Seals

 

After you’ve conquered the armies of Hell and acquired the needed materials to unlock all 26 Seals and three Potions, you’ll receive a reward truly fitting of an unstoppable force—the Wings of Terror Cosmetic, Seal AD. We recommend you unlock all Seals and Potions within the Altar of Rites, not only to inspire terror within your foes, but also to piece together the fragments of Sanctuary’s past.

---

Primordial Ashes Feature

Acquiring Primal Items is no small task. That’s why we are adding a new Primordial Ashes feature with this patch to aid in your quest. At the Blacksmith, you can now salvage a Primal Item for 55 Primordial Ashes.

 

We have also added a Primal Item recipe to Kanai’s Cube, allowing you to upgrade any non-crafted legendary item to a Primal Item for 100 Primordial Ashes. Only one upgraded Primal Item may be worn at a time and upgraded Primal Items do not retain the properties of the Legendary Item that was used. New affixes are rolled for all upgraded Primal Items.

---

Bug Fixes

• The power description for Seal N has been updated for increased clarity.
• Pets will no longer pick up and salvage other players’ common, magic, and rare items because of the power from Seal X.
• Fixed an issue where Seal V caused more progress orbs to drop than intended.

---

Monk Skill Changes

  • Each Spirit Generator you use increases the damage of your other Spirit Generators by 100% for 10 seconds.

Developer's Note: After listening to the community’s feedback about the Natalya's changes, we wanted to move Natalya's away from Gears of Dreadlands, giving it a unique identity. We hope Natalya's playstyle gives players more control over the explosions they set off while navigating the battlefield.

• Gears of Dreadlands:
  • Your primary skills deal 15,000% increased damage.
