Seasons. Diablo III: Season Fourteen Has Begun New Decorative Rewards

I don’t know whether these Seasons are needed in Diablo 3 or not, but whether we want it or not, they will be there. And since nothing can be done, you need to at least know what it is, since there is no escape from it. And who, if not Blizzard, is able to tell us about the upcoming seasons, and the fact that you think that this is a “nerd topic” will not change anything.

How do the seasons work?

So you've launched the game and are getting ready to create your first seasonal character. Where to begin?

As in any other mode, the first thing you need to do is go to the character creation menu. Simply select your character's class, gender, and name as usual, then check the Seasons box in the bottom left corner of the screen. That's all! You now have a newly minted Level 1 Nephalem at your disposal, ready to take part in the season!

You will be able to create seasonal characters in both normal and heroic modes. Just put another checkmark in the “Heroic Mode” box (in addition to the one already in the “Seasons” box).

Seasonal characters are in no way related to your characters created in other modes. This means they have to start from scratch without being able to use the gold, stash, crafts, sketches and items of your regular characters. As with Normal and Heroic characters, your Season character progress is tracked separately.

Seasonal Opportunities

Your first goal is to reach level 70 and get the right equipment, but then you have three ways to compete with other players. You can focus on conquests - special achievements available only to seasonal characters, or try to earn as many achievement points as possible, and you can also conquer more and more levels of great portals. Soon we will tell you more about great portals in a separate article - stay tuned to the site for updates!

successes of other players and strive for new heights. Want to be the first player this season to reach level 70 on Heroic difficulty? Receive the achievement and your name will be immortalized in the conquest table! Want to get the most achievements? Compare your rating with your friends in the corresponding list. Do you prefer greater portals? Compare your results and records with the successes of other players in the rating table of great portals!

There are a variety of interesting challenges awaiting you throughout the different seasons, and you'll be able to compare your results with your friends, clanmates, and other players who have chosen the same class or play in the same region. Rating tables will be available both in the game itself and on our community website. In general, you will be able to find out about your results for the current season with a couple of clicks!

Conquests

Achievements are special merits that testify to the player’s skill and determination. With Seasons, we've taken this element of the game to a whole new level with the development of Conquests. Only season characters will be able to complete these difficult tasks, and conquests are divided into two types: normal and heroic. If you want to get your hands on them all, prepare to have your Season Characters hunting them down on both Normal and Heroic difficulty.

So how is conquest different from ordinary achievement? They tend to be more difficult to complete, so they come with a tempting reward: if you are among the first thousand players to complete a particular conquest in a given season, your name will be immortalized in the leaderboard for the rest of the season. Yes, yes, that's right! Those who didn’t have time are late, so don’t hesitate if you want to be on the top lines of the rating table. Throughout the season, conquests will be a good source of rewards. Plus, even if you don't make it to the top list, your conquests will still earn you achievement points.

Seasonal Rewards

If you're not interested in competing with other players in the first place, you're probably wondering: Why do I even need this? But know that all players who take part in the seasons will be rewarded for their efforts. For example, you'll be among the first to receive newly-released Legendary items, and you'll also have the opportunity to build a superb transmog set only available to Seasons players.

In the first season, we will add 10 new legendary items to the game. Until the end of the season, they will be available exclusively to seasonal characters, but then they will be included in the general list of items that can be obtained in all modes. In addition, each subsequent season we will be adding small sets of new legendary items that will only be available to seasonal characters until the end of the season.

We've also prepared a great set of transmog items specifically for seasonal characters. Each season you will receive one of the items from this armor set. What do I need to do? Simply reach the maximum level during the season! As soon as this condition is met, the sketch will automatically become available to the fortune teller in all game modes.

New helmet for Season 1 fighters!

Not bad, right?

Summing up the seasonal results

The very first season is just beginning, but it is also important to know what awaits you after it ends. When the season ends, all of your seasonal characters will be transferred to other modes. This means that a seasonal character created in Heroic mode will become playable in standard Heroic mode.

Your characters will retain the equipment, materials, gold, experience accumulated through the upgrade level system, and designs they obtained during the season. The stash tabs and artisan levels you opened will also be saved. Finally, if you earn any new achievements during the season, they will count toward their respective non-season modes.

When a new season begins, you'll need to start over, but your new heroes will be rewarded with items, experience, and achievements!

Join us!

We can't wait to get started on our first season and we hope you enjoyed our look at the new gaming features. Are you ready for the start of the first season? Which class will you choose first? Are you going to hunt for conquests or go through great portals? We want to know how you plan to spend the new season, and you can tell us about it in the comments!

Get ready, nephalem! Difficult challenges and great rewards await you!

In the meantime, some seasons are just about to begin, others are coming to an end. And if you sit at the computer for days, nothing will be as pleasant for you as... riding a bike!

Each season in Diablo III, you can earn new items and compete with other players for glory and immortality through the ages.

Seasonal Heroes

To participate in the season, you need to create a seasonal hero. To do this, simply click the “Create” button in the hero selection window, check the “Seasonal Hero” box and then click “Create a Hero”. Seasonal heroes start from scratch. They have a separate shared chest, and until the end of the season, they cannot use out-of-season items, ingredients, or gold that are already on your record.

Rating tables

To open ranking tables in Diablo III, click the ranking icon in the lower right corner of the main menu (or SHIFT + L). The tables display the struggle for rating achievements by regions, clans, friends lists, classes, etc. In addition, on the ratings page you can monitor player statistics.

Greater Portals

The “Great Portals” table shows what the most difficult level of the great portals the player has completed and what his record for completion speed is. This table is constantly updated because someone can break the record of the best players at any time, and then they move lower. The Greater Portals table displays the stats of both seasonal and non-seasonal heroes.

Seasonal Achievements

In the seasonal achievements table, rankings are assigned based on the number of achievement points and who earned them first. The overall rating is calculated taking into account all regular achievements earned in the current season and additional seasonal achievements. To participate, get yourself a seasonal hero and try to earn as many achievements as possible this season.

Conquests

The conquests section displays who was the first to receive conquests in the current season. The results can be filtered: the first 1000 players in your region, clan or among your friends. Conquests are much more complex than ordinary achievements. This ranking is updated every season.

Exclusive Seasonal Rewards

Seasonal heroes in the current season have the opportunity to receive exclusive items. At the end of the season, all regular heroes, both current and future, will be able to receive these items.

The promised hour is approaching, nephalem! You created new heroes, made conquests, conquered great portals and climbed the lines of the rating table.

If you're participating in a season for the first time, there's a lot to learn about what happens at the end of the season with your items, heroes, and accumulated progress. But don't worry! Now we will explain everything and tell you exactly when the current season will end and the next one will begin.

Change of seasons

Those who have already participated in the seasons will confirm that there is no shortage of gold or loot during the season, and earning upgrade levels is a pleasure. So what happens when the end of the season puts an end to the progress that has been made? In short, you have virtually nothing to lose.

Below is a list of rewards earned during the season that your non-seasonal heroes will be able to receive.

Heroes
- Seasonal heroes will become non-seasonal and will be relegated to either Normal or Heroic mode. You won't need to delete existing heroes to make room, as seasonal heroes will retain their slots!
Gold
- All gold accumulated during the season will be available to non-seasonal heroes.
Experience and Levels of Improvement
- All experience gained by heroes after reaching level 70 will be transferred to non-seasonal modes, and the number of improvement levels received during the season and in other modes will not be directly summed up.
- For example, if your Seasonal Hero has reached Paragon Level 300, and your Non-Seasonal Heroes have Paragon Level 400, the experience carryover will not result in your Non-Seasonal Heroes being at Paragon Level 700. This is because the amount of XP required to reach higher levels is different. is constantly increasing.
Bloody Shards
- Like gold, those Blood Shards that your seasonal heroes have accumulated will be transferred to non-seasonal modes.
- If your non-seasonal heroes have already reached the blood shards limit, then it will be possible to exceed it for a while. You can spend them as you wish, but you will not be able to collect new ones as long as your reserves exceed the limit.
Items
- All the hero’s equipment, as well as items in his bag, will go into non-season mode along with the character.
- Items stored in the Seasonal Stash will be mailed to your Non-Seasonal Heroes. Any of your heroes can receive them. Items will be held in the mail for 30 days from the moment you first log into the game after the end of the season. To access the items in your mailbox, simply launch the game and click on the mail icon in the lower left corner of the screen.
Crafts progress and sketches
- If you managed to develop artisans during the season to a higher level than in non-seasonal modes, their progress will be carried over.
- All sketches that were received during the season and that non-seasonal heroes do not have will also be saved.
Shared cache
- Any Shared Stash slots and tabs you purchase during the Season will become available in non-Seasonal modes if they were not previously unlocked.
Achievements
- All achievements and data on how well the conditions for obtaining them have been met are automatically transferred to non-seasonal modes. This process occurs automatically; there is no need to wait for the end of the season. Accumulated achievement points are also calculated throughout the season.
Season 3 Rewards
- All players who managed to level at least one hero to level 70 during Season 3 will receive chest armor and glove transmog items. These items will become available upon reaching level 70 by any seasonal hero, and can be used by all characters on the account (both seasonal and non-seasonal). Plus, you won't have to wait until the season ends to receive items. To use the new items, simply talk to the fortune teller Miriam and open the “Transmogrification” tab.
- And for those who have accumulated a certain number of achievement points, special portrait frames and flags will become available as a reward for their efforts. These rewards will be immediately available to all heroes linked to the account, and you can use them using the wardrobe located near the fortune teller.
  - 100 points: season flag
  - 400 points: Seasonal Portrait Frame

Please note that all heroes, rewards and progress will carry over to the corresponding non-seasonal mode (Normal or Heroic). Any items, gold, experience for obtaining new levels of improvement, achievements, artisan experience and sketches, as well as space in the general cache and bloody shards obtained by seasonal heroes in normal mode, after the end of the season, will be available to non-seasonal heroes (also created in normal mode) . And everything that was received by your seasonal heroes on Heroic mode will be transferred to non-seasonal heroes on Heroic mode.

Season 3 Conquests

Unlike other rewards, conquests will not carry over at the end of Season 3 (because they are not available to non-seasonal heroes). This also means that conquests earned will not affect the amount of achievement points in non-season modes.

But no need to worry! Information about your exploits will be saved in the “Records” section of your personal data, which can be viewed at any time.

Season 3 leaderboards

Once the season comes to an end, all rating tables will be reset and you will not be able to increase your rating until the start of the new season. After this, the rating tables of previous seasons can be viewed in the game itself. Once a new season begins, you can use the convenient drop-down menu to switch between the leaderboards of different seasons.

Don't forget that you can also check out the season ranking tables on our website!

The change of seasons will not have any impact on the normal Greater Rift leaderboards, and you will be able to reach new heights in the game with non-seasonal heroes (including former seasonal ones). These ratings will be reset at a later date. We will provide more details as the end of the current era approaches.

Off-season

There will be a short break between the end of the current season and the start of the new one. During this period, we will be able to distribute player rewards and review rating table data. A good reason to just rejoice at your success and hunt to your heart’s content for items in non-seasonal modes.

Season 3 will end in the regions listed below exactly at the times indicated.

North America Monday, August 24, 3:00 Moscow time.
Europe: Sunday, August 23, 18:00 Moscow time.
