Early strategy for leveling seems to be farm ZK and salvage the seasonal gems to get rubies/diamonds. They will be Marquis/Imperial/Flawless level and you can socket for +damage on weapon, +xp helm, and resistances for toughness starting in the teens.

Pretty sure I'm burnt out enough right now that no amount of power creep is lure me back in, at least not for opening weekend.

ZK kills were tested on Asian server. 50% drop rate for seasonal gem, so an average of 10 kills to salvage for ruby gems. (Might be lower or level based though)

edit: apparently there's glitches and exploits abound on Asia, full paragon for new season with primals/ethereals able to be rebirthed, CR caches not accessible, etc

Hey Vanderhoof, game locked up and you were gone by the time I came back. Can run you through some stuff when I see you around again.

If you run the Darkening of Tristam event through the first few floors on T16 and kill the Butcher + Skele King both will drop all 7 soul shards. Salvage the ones you don't want for 3x imperial gems or a Flawless Royal

Rank 3 Soul Shard can also be used as the legendary gem for a 125 augment.

Next season theme: No new powers. But GR bosses drop a portal item for the cube to open a rehashed survival trial similar to the original GR keying mechanic. Awards "EXP, Legendary Items, Blood Shards, Gems, and a new Legendary Gem, Whisper of Atonement (used exclusively for Augmenting Ancient Legendary items)

2x linear maps removed from GR pool and 3x open maps added.

Huh, I barely remember that from when it was a thing. I remember it being horrendously shitty for any class that didn't have massive aoe power

I am ready for this new season, almost 300 hours in Lost Ark has me kinda burned out on it, and I have zero interest in Elden Ring. Give me D4 already!

Apparently you cannot exit the new survival trial, designed to last until you die. Which is really stupid on Hardcore mode since dying in the trial still explodes your hardcore character.

Here are the sets granted by Haedrig’s Gift in Season 26:
  • Barbarian – The Legacy of Raekor

  • Monk – Inna’s Reach

Gold streak, rift in 2 minutes, GR75 solo, 3x gems to 65 for EZ conquest completions.

Also they slammed the nerf hammer hard on the new trial rewards. If the trial permanently remains this isn't actually a "season" it's just the new base game with zero powers for a few months

What were they before & what are they now? Patch notes didn't really say anything about the rewards other than what they could be (gold, items etc)

Echoing Nightmares are restricted to level 70 to prevent powerleveling, experience was nerfed to GR levels instead of being the best paragon leveling activity. EN monsters were changed to behave like GRs instead of regular rifts so they no longer drop gold or items on kill, they won't even spawn health globes. Monsters are now immune to some CC effects preventing some builds from being viable, and they removed the shield pylon.

Fun detected, must remove.

Fired up some D3 to waste a few hours on the current season with a Necromancer. Got the 4 set pieces and how in the hell do you beat shit required on like Troment 4 or 6 or whatever it was. I even tried a "leveling build" with recommended skills to use and it was awful. Memories of the bad times in this game flooded back and I Alt+F4'ed.

I was so disappointed when they nerfed the interactions between Necro Inarius set+bone armor+some gem proc. Had a lot of fun on my Necro til that point years ago.

Only on FoH could someone quit Diablo 3 because it's too tough.

Season 27 introduces a new type of consumable item called Angelic Crucibles. Once uncovered by Nephalem, these heavenly artifacts can be used to Sanctify any equippable Legendary item. Sanctifying an item reforges it to have perfect Ancient-level stats on all affixes while also preserving the item's Legendary Power. In addition, this process adds one of three new powers unique to each class.

New 3-pc crafted set
  • Guardian's Jeopardy (2-piece bonus): Your base Vitality attribute from equipped items is increased by 50%.
  • Guardian's Jeopardy (3-piece bonus): Your base Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence attributes from equipped items are increased by 50%.
Some set bonuses changed
