<p>Considering the expansion is coming in less than a month, it&#8217;s a great time to try D4 out if you haven&#8217;t already. Vessel of Hatred brings so many amazing changes, we can&#8217;t wait for it to get here! Hopefully this promotion brings in even more players to the game, as it keeps getting better and better each season.</p>


Diablo 4 Free Trial Weekend Live Now


<p>Vessel of Hatred is getting some slow but steady hype-up, as we&#8217;re getting more and more of Neyrelle&#8217;s pre-expansion story revealed! </p>



<p>Neyrelle&#8217;s Lament is a wonderfully animated short story in which we hear about her perspective on recent events and Sanctuary&#8217;s history. Her journey with the Soulstone is really taking it out of her, as Mephisto&#8217;s hate pours into her. As she struggles, the breaking point of Vessel of Hatred is very much focused: will she make it or will Mephisto take her? Will we have another Dark Wanderer on our hands or something different? </p>



<p>We even get a glimpse of demon Neyrelle, at least in voice form as her recounting gets more and more angry. The short seems to link in directly to the Vessel of Hatred cinematic, as she&#8217;s still on the river. </p>

Neyrelle’s Lament Animated Short


<p>When Vessel of Hatred releases in a couple of weeks, the Paragon cap will rise to Level 300. Rob&#8217;s here with a useful video and a <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yNVyV50copE_GbTjx_orpzM2qXrwZIHBiWGvnV4Yzyo/edit?gid=84209566#gid=84209566">spreadsheet</a> with the exact XP values needed to reach the new cap and an estimate of how long it will take!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Paragon XP Requirements in Vessel of Hatred</h2>



<p>Below you will find the experience requirements for every 100 Paragon levels. You will find the XP requirements for each level <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yNVyV50copE_GbTjx_orpzM2qXrwZIHBiWGvnV4Yzyo/edit?gid=84209566#gid=84209566">here</a>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Long Will It Take to Reach the New Paragon Cap?</h2>



<p>Rob assumes you can get <strong>433,941,892 XP</strong> in a<strong> Pit 85</strong> in 1 minute and 45 seconds at maximum efficiency, which you won&#8217;t have at the start when the expansion launches, but with it, it should take around <strong>57.1</strong> hours to reach Paragon 300.</p>



<p>As a benchmark, Rob <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2243992658?t=11h25m46s">used 17 Pit 85 runs</a> from his stream completed between September 6-30.</p>

The New Paragon Grind in Vessel of Hatred: XP Table to Level 300!


<p>Patch 2.0 and Vessel of Hatred are less than a month away!  So we thought it was time to point out some of the big changes that have been announced that perhaps didn&#8217;t get that much attention. We&#8217;re starting with the massive shift in itemization related to Sacred and Ancestral items, as the system is being entirely overhauled. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Say Goodbye to Sacred Items</h2>



<p>First off, Sacred items will no longer exist. New ones will not drop after 2.0, and old ones will be renamed. You&#8217;ll have &#8220;Legacy&#8221; items on your Eternal Realm characters where once there were Sacreds, so they will truly be gone from Diablo 4. The existing &#8220;Legacy&#8221; items will not be upgradable either. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Non-Ancestral Items Aka Everything Else</h2>



<p>We now only have two item types, Ancestral and&#8230; not. The regular items will have a maximum item level of 750. Non-Ancestral Legendaries dropped after character level 60 will always be 750. Normal items can be masterworked 4 times, but only if they&#8217;re item level 750. There&#8217;s also going to be a whole lot more Normal items on Eternal Realms, as all current gear with an item level over 540 will be moved down to 540 after the patch. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Greater Ancestral Power</h2>



<p>Ancestral items have received the most changes &#8211; well, if you don&#8217;t count being entirely removed as the biggest change ever when it comes to Sacreds. First off, they won&#8217;t be dropping at all until Torment level 1. And, if you&#8217;ll recall, you need to be level 60 and clear the Pit level 20 to access T1. But there&#8217;s some very powerful tradeoffs for this as well. </p>



<p>Ancestrals will not only always be the maximum item power, 800, but will also ALWAYS drop with at least one Greater Affix! They&#8217;re also the only place to get <em>any</em> Greater Affixes, so they&#8217;re quite literally the only game in town. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/PG1WVAM3ARTD1724871463739.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image 40822"/></figure>



<p></p>



<p>That&#8217;s a whole lot of changes to item power and Ancestrals! Patch 2.0 and the expansion can&#8217;t get here soon enough! </p>


Big Item Changes Coming in Patch 2.0: No Sacred, Huge Power Boost to Ancestral

A Preview of New Hairstyles Coming in Vessel of Hatred!

<p>Blizzard has posted a video on Vessel of Hatred, revealing various exciting tidbits from the upcoming campaign!</p>



<p>This post contains story spoilers.</p>



<p>The Vessel of Hatred story kicks off with us defeating Lilith and Neyrelle sailing south with Mephisto&#8217;s Soulstone in hand. In the new expansion, Neyrelle seeks salvation from Mephisto and searches for a way to banish him back into the abyss.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Story So Far</h2>



<p>As we wrap up D4, there has been a huge battle between Inarius and Lilith and all of her demons. Throughout the campaign, you&#8217;re trying to defeat Lilith, so you team up with characters like the young Neyrelle and Lorath who ends up being the catalyst of the group.</p>



<p>Inarius thought that by defeating Lilith, he would be accepted by heaven, which didn&#8217;t prove true, even though he stabbed Lilith. She used that against him and killed Inarius. Her goal was to devour her father Mephisto and we ended up stopping her.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Coming in Vessel of Hatred</h2>



<p>Neyrelle is left with the Soulstone and decides to take his essence. Lorath will help us find information on where Neyrelle went. Over time, things start to unfold, and she will realize she can&#8217;t do this alone and you will start searching for her.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Burnt Knights</h2>



<p>The Cathedral of Light in Vessel of Hatred is in disarray with the death of Inarius. It became split and this created an opening for a whole new sect to rise up and take things into their own hands,  and so you end up with the militant wing of the church that is the Burnt Knights. The Burnt Knights are led by Urivar, Survivor of Hell. He is uncompromising and feels that he&#8217;s going to make better decisions for the church. They battled in Hell and now they&#8217;re on a manhunt for Neyrelle and Lorath. They want them to pay for their crimes.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hatred&#8217;s Corruption</h2>



<p>Mephisto is the Lord of Hatred, and probably the one Prime Evil that can create the most deep-rooted chaos, breaking up the people of Sanctuary. In the events of Diablo II, he was destroyed. He&#8217;s been slowly resurrecting himself in Hell, and he wants to come back and bring himself back to Sanctuary. Now that he&#8217;s trapped in the Soulstone that Neyrelle carries, this is his opportunity.</p>



<p>The <strong>Herald of Hatred</strong> is Mephisto&#8217;s wolf form. It&#8217;s this astral-projected form that he gets to put out and connect with the player, and whisper in people&#8217;s ears. The connection between Neyrelle, the player, and Mephisto is the fate of the world. Neyrelle wants to get rid of him, but the more time she spends with the stone, the tighter the bond between her and the stone is. The corrupting influence of Mephisto&#8217;s Soulstone is going to convince her to bring Mephisto back instead of destroying him as she originally wanted, so we need to make sure that she fulfills her original intent and doesn&#8217;t fall to Mephisto&#8217;s influence.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Akarat and the Spirit Realm</h2>



<p>Neyrelle plans to bring the Soulstone to the Vault of Light to purify it of Mephisto&#8217;s essence. The vault is a sacred place that <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/news/vessel-of-hatred-whos-akarat/">Akarat</a> created. His presence is important through the history of Sanctuary. Akarat wandered the world, speaking the teachings of the Zakarum faith. His tomb is said to be in the Vault of Light, which is in Nahantu. Akarat discovered the Spirit Realm.</p>



<p>When the Worldstone was forged and Sanctuary came out of it, this veil was created, and that&#8217;s what created the Spirit Realm. Angels aren&#8217;t there, Demons aren&#8217;t there, it&#8217;s a very special place for humanity. For a long time, the Spirit Realm remained untouched and now Mephisto&#8217;s corruption is creeping its way and that&#8217;s the fear that everybody in Nahantu is thinking about.</p>



<p>Eru is a spiritual leader with a deep connection to Nahantu who helps us on our journey to find Neyrelle, who has been spotted in the jungle.</p>



<p>The Vessel of Hatred story is about isolation. Neyrelle is trying to do this alone, but at some point, you realize that things are escalating, so we move from isolation to the idea of being strong together.</p>



<p>Below you will find the official blog post and the video detailing this new lore!</p>

<p>With Mephisto’s Soulstone in hand, Neyrelle sails south to the jungles of Nahantu to banish him for good.

New Diablo 4 Campaign Details: Neyrelle’s Struggle and Mephisto’s Dark Influence


<p>Blizzard&#8217;s Diablo 4 has crossed the $1 billion revenue mark since its release in June 2023, with around $150 million coming from in-game purchases!</p>



<p>Blizzard has hit a major milestone with Diablo IV. According to a LinkedIn profile by Harrison Froeschke, Senior Product Manager, the game has generated over $1 billion in revenue. This figure includes $150 million from microtransactions, such as cosmetics.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s important to point out that Blizzard did not release this information through official channels, but instead, it was revealed via Froeschke&#8217;s job description on LinkedIn.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://cdn.gracza.pl/gallery/gallery_top/-1969619453.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><a href="https://www.gamepressure.com/newsroom/blizzard-reveals-how-much-money-players-spent-on-microtransaction/z1726b">Harrison Froeschke&#8217;s LinkedIn. Image courtesy of Game Pressure.</a></figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How It All Began&#8230;</h2>



<p>DIablo IV started generating impressive revenue right after launch, <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/news/diablo-4-crosses-666-million-sell-through-within-5-five-days-of-launch/">earning $666 million in just 5 days</a>, largely driven by pre-orders. As of June 2024, the game was added to <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/news/diablo-4-coming-to-xbox-game-pass-on-march-28/">Xbox Game Pass</a>, which likely contributed to the continued financial success.</p>



<p></p>


Diablo IV Surpasses $1 Billion in Revenue, with $150 Million from Microtransactions


<p>Blizzard just released a new Diablo 4 video recapping the game&#8217;s campaign so far. It is a perfect refresher for players wanting to catch up on where we left off before starting the next chapter with Vessel of Hatred!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Story So Far</h2>



<p>The base game mainly focused on the fight between Lilith and Inarius. Throughout the campaign, we witnessed Lilith&#8217;s quest to destroy her father, Mephisto, and an enraged Inarius trying to stop her at every turn. Things did not end well for either of them. Inarius met his end at Lilith’s hands, and we, the players, brought Lilith down in that unforgettable final battle. This video perfectly summarizes all the events that have unfolded throughout the story so far and is preparing us for the upcoming expansion, &#8220;Vessel of Hatred.&#8221;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="[SPOILER WARNING] Diablo IV | The Story So Far" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WlV3Bu_ysF4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>The story follows a world on the brink of destruction. It highlights the twisted plans of Lilith and Inarius, the creators of Sanctuary. In the story of Diablo 4, your character is known as the wanderer, who is bonded to Lilith by demon blood and plays an important role in uncovering her twisted plot. Along the way, we meet important allies like Lorath, Donan, and Neyrelle who join the fight. Lilith&#8217;s ultimate plan is to consume the essence of her father, Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred, who is on the verge of being reborn in Hell. If she succeeds, all would be doomed.</p>



<p>Inarius and his Cathedral of Light also pursue Lilith, believing it is his destiny to kill her. Meanwhile, Mephisto, lurking in the shadows, manipulates events to protect himself. He sends a herald to assist the Wanderer in hunting down Lilith. Eventually, Neyrelle manages to imprison Mephisto, stripping Lilith of her power. In her final moments, Lilith warns of a dire future, leaving Neyrelle with the burden of dealing with Mephisto as the battle between Heaven, Hell, and humanity continues.</p>



<p>If you are new to Diablo 4 and plan on starting with the expansion, or if you just want to refresh your knowledge of the story before the campaign in <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/vessel-of-hatred-overview/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vessel of Hatred</a> continues, this recap video is a definite &#8220;must-watch&#8221;!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Not the First Time</h2>



<p>Blizzard has previously provided similar recap videos for World of Warcraft, such as <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/forums/topic/81010-war-within-story-so-far-recap-cinematic/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the one for &#8220;The War Within</a>,&#8221; which summarized important events leading up to that expansion. I think it is safe to say that we, the fans, really appreciate these efforts, and it’s great to see this trend continue with Diablo 4.</p>


Blizzard Releases Official Diablo 4 Story Recap Video!


<p>If you&#8217;re playing Diablo 4, checking the in-game shop daily can score you free and exclusive items. Here&#8217;s what you need to know.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Available in the Shop?</h2>



<p>Sometimes, the Diablo 4 shop offers limited-time free items that you can claim. One of the recent free items is the Orichalcum Greatsword!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://preview.redd.it/this-is-why-i-check-the-shop-every-day-v0-qufn27vpmwod1.png?width=1919&amp;format=png&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=ec090c3f5c54fe3af4a9b120640669301d994b9b" alt=""/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1fh4t15/this_is_why_i_check_the_shop_every_day/">Free Orichalcum Greatsword in the Diablo 4 shop</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>Players have also spotted that Blizzard is offering cosmetics that were previously available through exclusive promotions for free. For example, the Trumming Axle cosmetic Staff from the KFC promotion has made a return in the shop. These don&#8217;t last long so make sure to check and claim them before they&#8217;re gone!</p>

Don’t Miss Out on Free Items in the Diablo 4 Shop!


<p>Blizzard has announced that the next Diablo 4 Campfire chat will be all about the players! The devs will be answering submitted questions, and you can add yours to the pile as well. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where to Submit</h2>



<p>You can ask your D4 questions in the below X thread, and Blizzard will then pick the ones they want to answer for the stream. It seems the questions are limited to the patch 2.0 changes, but players have been asking pretty much everything already, from the cow level onward. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When&#8217;s the Campfire?</h2>



<p>Unfortunately, no dates have been announced, and we don&#8217;t even have a window of when it might be coming. It&#8217;s safe to presume it will be sooner rather than later, probably within the next week or two.</p>
