Season Blessings in Diablo 4 (Season 6)

Introduction

Diablo 4 provides players with various types of content to enjoy, and challenges to immerse themselves in. One standout feature that adds even more variety to the game is the addition of Seasons, and their corresponding Season Blessings.

Season Blessings Explained

What exactly are Season Blessings? These Blessings are small bonuses that boost various aspects of the gameplay experience, such as increased experience points, travel speed, elixir duration, and more. These bonuses can be obtained simply by engaging in specific gameplay activities or meeting certain Season Journey goals.

It is important to note that Season Blessings, and the currency used to unlock them, known as Smoldering Ashes, are tied to each season. When a season ends, both the Blessings and Smoldering Ashes reset, providing a fresh start for the next season.

Unlocking Season Blessings

So, how can you obtain Season Blessings? Each season in Diablo 4 introduces a Battle Pass, which consists of a certain amount of free tiers, as well as premium tiers. You can access the free tier rewards simply by playing the game. Among the various rewards available in the free tiers, you will find a resource called Smoldering Ashes.

Smoldering Ashes serve as the currency for unlocking Season Blessings. By accumulating Smoldering Ashes, you can gain access to, and activate, the Blessings of your choosing.

Smoldering Ashes are available to every player for free. You do not need to purchase the Battlepass or reach a specific level to collect them. However, you must first reach a specific amount of Favor before you can obtain the free ashes to use for Blessings. Favor can be unlocked naturally by progressing through the Season Journey or simply playing the game (killing monsters, completing quests, etc.).

The Different Blessings 

As previously mentioned, you can choose from a variety of Blessings to suit your playstyle. Each Blessing offers a unique bonus, and you can also level up each Blessing, making them even more powerful. The combination of stacked and leveled-up Season Blessings allows you to customize your character’s strengths, and adapt your gameplay to what you enjoy most.

All Blessings can be upgraded up to 4 times, and each level offers a percentage increase for its unique bonus, varying from +5% to +15% in function of the Urn.

These are the three new Season 6 Blessings:

• Urn of Opals: Boost the chance of receiving an additional Seething Opal reward after completing a Seething Realm.
• Urn of Remnant: Boost the rate at which you increase your reputation with the Zakarum Remnants.
• Urn of Curiosities: Boost the chance of receiving a second item when purchasing from the Purveyor of Curiosities.

Again, remember that the bonuses acquired from the Season Blessings are only available until the end of the season.

Summary

Season Blessings in Diablo 4 are a great addition to the overall gaming experience due to small boosts for experience points, loot, and other useful bonuses. By earning gameplay and season achievements, you can collect Smoldering Ashes to unlock, and activate your preferred Blessings. On top of that, the ability to stack, and level up Blessings, provides you with greater customization and variety in your gameplay.
