Renown Grind Going Away in Diablo 4 Season 2


<p>The Public Test Realm really is a great place. A lot of the bugs get worked out and players get to see new features earl. But one of the special bonuses of the PTR is definitely seeing the more wild and hilarious bugs that wouldn&#8217;t normally sneak past to the live game! And this is CERTAINLY one of those. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Everything AND the Kitchen Sink</h2>



<p>It seems our characters in the Vessel of Hatred may have lost a whole lot of intelligence points. So many, in fact, that they forgot which piece of gear goes where. Something must&#8217;ve messed with the game so that it forgot which type of gear goes into which visual slot, causing some hilarious pandemonium.</p>

<p>You&#8217;d be forgiven for thinking that this is just some very cool new quest where players haul equipment around for a merchant or somesuch. Or perhaps it&#8217;s a new type of VERY Unique weapon? That&#8217;s not the case, however, as there are plenty more examples of this, and significantly weirder ones too! </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Does This Giant Head Make Me Look Fat?</h2>



<p>This particular bug seems to be very inclusive. When we say any cosmetic can be affected, it really does mean <em><strong>any</strong></em>. It&#8217;s hard to explain what exactly happened below, so it&#8217;s better just to show you:</p>

<p>That&#8217;s right, it&#8217;s Lord Zir&#8217;s head itself! The mount trophy would actually make a great back-piece, although it may be sliiightly impractical! </p>



<p>And then there&#8217;s the ultimate power-play when it comes to fashion accessories, the Ashava&#8217;s Horn on the back!  </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is This Happening?</h2>



<p>One of the potential culprits here is the fact that players now <em>are </em>the wardrobe that can currently be found in the game&#8217;s inns. We can <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/news/you-no-longer-have-to-visit-the-wardrobe-to-change-your-appearance/">change our appearance anywhere</a>, as the option is now part of the basic character menu. This is likely what is causing the bug. </p>



<p>But whatever the reason is, it&#8217;s awesome! And it really is one of the more fun parts of the PTR, seeing more outlandish bugs like that. What&#8217;s the weirdest thing you&#8217;ve ever seen on a PTR-like test of a game?</p>


Hit Them With Your Pants: Mount Trophies as Player Armor, Gloves as Capes and Pants as Weapons!


<p>It seems no matter how high Blizzard set the materials cap, some players will always need bigger coffers! </p>



<p>We&#8217;ve seen the materials caps rise a few times in Diablo 4, with the latest reaching just shy of one million for gem fragments. Well, it seems the next increase will have to be 9 million, as plenty of players have already collected the maximum amount! </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Fragment Hoarders</h2>



<p>Season 5 is only a little over a month old and plenty of players are reporting being capped out on the 999,999 shard for specific gems (or even all of them). This isn&#8217;t exactly a problem, but it&#8217;s always annoying seeing so many items on the ground. And since there&#8217;s no loot filter, it can get pretty messy pretty fast. This particular mass-fragment issue started with Season 5c, as the culprit for the gem-madness is Infernal Hordes! There&#8217;s a whole bunch of fragments coming from the materials chests, so players are very gem-rich. </p>



<p>The other issue is that you can&#8217;t really get rid of them without spending a whole lot of gold. Crafting gems isn&#8217;t cheap and so <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/toxicredditanon/">toxicredditanon</a> was wondering just what to do with the fragments! </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A (Not Perfect) Solution</h2>



<p>It seems there isn&#8217;t a great solution but, as always, the community did come up with at least one solid alternative. One cheaper solution (at least gold-wise) is to craft a whole bunch of <a class="icy-gtnbrg-link" href="#"><span class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip"><img decoding="async" class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip-img" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/static/d4/latest/images/icons/2DInventory_Consumables_31.webp" alt="Chorus of War"><span class="tooltip-spell-name" data-item-type="Incense" data-item-quality="magic">Chorus of War</span></span></a>. It costs 200 fragments, but you&#8217;ll also need a solid amount of Angelbreath, Veiled Crystals and Bundled Herbs. But with all those fragments at least you&#8217;ll be getting a pretty much permanent +40 all stats and some crit and overpower damage! </p>



<p>The alternative is, of course, to just craft some gems. It&#8217;s pretty expensive, so you&#8217;ll maybe need to open some gold chests in Hordes as well! And perhaps you can sell some of the gems to newer players, or those that didn&#8217;t go quite as Hordes crazy. </p>



<p><br>So, what do you think our next materials cap is going to be (whenever it&#8217;s raised)? 9 million? 99? Or 666,000,000,000?</p>

New Mythic Uniques Coming in Vessel of Hatred


<p>Blizzard has updated the Patch 2.0 known issues list today with a new entry tied to the XOL Rune.</p>



<p>The XOL Rune currently says you can &#8220;Evoke power from another class&#8221;, but in a future update, this Rune will clearly state it only lets you evoke specific skills from another class, not Legendary Aspects.</p>

Runes and the Boost NPC Enabled on the Patch 2.0 PTR


<p>The patch 2.0 PTR has been up for a while and players got a feel for how things might look. One of the major and popular pieces of feedback is related to the new difficulty levels. Specifically, the limitation on when you can unlock them and just how hard they really are. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Penitent Lock</h2>



<p>The new difficulty system separates two different tiers of difficulty. The first is meant for leveling and is comprised of Normal, Hard, Expert and Penitent. The first problem being discussed here is the final difficulty of this leveling section being locked to level 50 characters. Expert is also locked at the start, but only requires finishing the prologue, so it&#8217;s much less of an issue. </p>



<p>Diablo as a franchise in general has always had a problem with being too easy at the start. In the older installments, you would have to clear an entire difficulty level in order to progress to the next one. Diablo 4 currently has the World Tier system, which instead offers Capstone dungeons as gates for progressing to the next difficulty. </p>



<p>This seems to be working out well enough, but the new system once again limits players in their choices. The general consensus seems to be that all difficulties should have some sort of challenge or gear gate, instead of an artificial level one. At the very least, the Penitent leveling difficulty should not be level-gated. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p>However, it&#8217;s not just Penitent facing this issue. The second tier of difficulties, Torment, also have a level lock. The first Torment difficulty requires level 60. This grants access to the Pit, and then clearing Pit level 20 unlocks Torment 1. Later Torments simply require a higher Pit level to unlock. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/3SU2LEK3WJPF1724871463013.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image 39602"/></figure>



<p>And so once again, regardless of your build or skill, you will not be able to access Penitent until level 50 and any Torment until level 60. This really seems like a downgrade from the current Capstone system, and hopefully Blizzard will look into it. </p>



<p>Some of these decisions may be based on the idea of other players boosting lower-level characters into Penitent or later Torment. <mark>However, that&#8217;s been a thing since the game released, and Blizzard haven&#8217;t really curtailed it much.</mark></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Potentially Larger Issue</h2>



<p>A secondary and less prevalent opinion is the issue of difficulty in general. This refers to Torment 4, and how easy it currently is. Some players were expecting a real challenge out of T4, the currently highest difficulty available, but are not finding the difficulty there. Now, it&#8217;s worth noting that these are mostly very well geared Season 5 characters. They do have a much lower item level (525) but also have some very powerful builds with all the components available.</p>



<p>And so it becomes are more philosophical discussion of what the role of the highest open world difficulty of the game should be. Should non-optimized top specs even be able to touch it? Should it just be a middle-ground for solid specs to play in, leaving the top ones to just faceroll it easily? After all, there is still additional difficulty to be had in the Tormented Bosses, seasonal activities and more. </p>



<p><br>So what do you think the role of Torment 5 should be? Something to strive towards and hone your build for? Just basically World Tier 4 with a new name? Or something else entirely? Let us know over on our Twitter! </p>


Major PTR 2.0 Community Feedback: Difficulty Level Locks Are Problematic


<p>Early Vessel of Hatred datamining hints at a new Clan Banker feature coming to Kyovashad!</p>



<p>This would essentially work like a guild bank in World of Warcraft where guild/clan members can deposit items for everyone to use.</p>

Clan Banker Coming in Vessel of Hatred!


<p>Diablo 4 has some amazing Transmog you can obtain in-game and through the shop, but access to the wardrobe was always a bit troublesome. However, this has now completely changed!</p>



<p>The PTR for patch 2.0 started yesterday, and we can already notice several small Quality-of-Life improvements that have been made to the game. The changes are quite different from how things currently work on the live server. Before, you had to travel to a main town to open the Wardrobe and change your appearance, which was usually hidden within an inn in a small corner of town! However, on the PTR, the Wardrobe is now accessible directly through your character window.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border"><img decoding="async" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/New-Wardrobe.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image 39501" style="border-radius:8px"/></figure>



<p>While the functionalities remain the same, you now have the possibility to change your outfit no matter where you are, even in the middle of nowhere!</p>



<p>Additionally, a few beautiful new pigments have been added, like the Sunrise one:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border"><img decoding="async" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Sunrise-Pigment.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image 39500" style="border-radius:8px"/></figure>



<p>Previously, there were 13 pigment options in the game. Actually, there are 12 pigments, with one option for simply removing the added pigment and reverting each piece of gear to its original appearance. For Vessel of Hatred, four new colors have been added, making it a total of 16 different pigments you can apply to your Transmog (outfit appearance)!</p>



<p>These are the 4 new color options you can find on the PTR:</p>



<ul>
<li>Canopy</li>



<li>Cinder</li>



<li>Royal Mariner</li>



<li>Sunrise</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border"><img decoding="async" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-3.png" alt="" class="wp-image 39502" style="border-radius:8px"/></figure>



<p>The Vessel of Hatred expansion and Season 6 include quite a few changes and quality-of-life improvements, which will be a welcome addition to the game!</p>


You No Longer Have to Visit the Wardrobe to Change Your Appearance!


<p>Here are all the datamined Runecrafting recipes coming to Diablo 4 in the Vessel of Hatred expansion!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Are Runewords and How Do They Work?</h2>



<p>Runewords allow you to create your own spells. To create a Runeword, you must combine two runes.</p>



<ul>
<li><strong>Rune of Ritual</strong> &#8211; Allows you to set the condition of when the rune triggers. These generate Offering.</li>



<li><strong>Rune of Invocation</strong> &#8211; Lets you pick the effect or what happens when the rune triggers. These consume Offering.</li>



<li>You can have a maximum of 2 Runewords equipped.</li>
</ul>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Runecrafting</h2>



<p>Runecrafting is the process behind creating runes. Using 3 of the same Rune, you can use them to roll a new Rune.</p>



<p>The crafted Rune is guaranteed to be different from your used Runes. When Magic and Rare Runes are used, there is a chance to<strong> roll a Rune of the next highest quality</strong>.</p>

All Runecrafting Recipes in the Vessel of Hatred Revealed!


<p>We have another huge salvage/crafting/gambling session to enjoy! </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Bit of History</h2>



<p>Mythic uniques are getting less and less rare, but they&#8217;re still the rarest drop in the game. Most players will possibly see one or two in their playtime. But for streamers and content creators, it&#8217;s a little different. And for Rob&#8230; well, it&#8217;s a LOT different. This isn&#8217;t the first time we&#8217;ve seen the Barbarian aficionado hunt for a Mythic Unique with a specific roll either. Last time it was a Greater Affix Shako that was being crafted, and that one took a colossal 69 salvaged Mythics and an insane amount of additional resources. You can <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/news/the-one-true-mythic-64-mythic-uniques-salvaged-to-craft-one-specific-shako-harlequins-crest/">check that session out here</a> as well and we won&#8217;t spoil the results, other than to say they were pretty nailbiting! </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">In Search of a Grandfather</h2>



<p>No, this isn&#8217;t a genealogy video nor a heart-warming reunion. Rob&#8217;s latest obsession is <a class="icy-gtnbrg-link" href="#"><span class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip"><img decoding="async" class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip-img" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/static/d4/latest/images/icons/2DInventory_Swords_40.webp" alt="The Grandfather"><span class="tooltip-spell-name" data-item-type="Two-Handed Sword" data-item-quality="mythic">The Grandfather</span></span></a>. Specifically, he&#8217;s looking for one of three Greater Affixes (or all three if extremely lucky), namely All Stats, Maximum Resource, and + Damage %. The hoard going into this particular venture isn&#8217;t quite as huge as it was for the Sorceress&#8217; Shako, but it&#8217;s still insanely big. 39 Mythic Uniques were salvaged for the endeavor, with 3 additional Resplendent Sparks from other sources. </p>



<p>The rituals are also back, from petting the kitty to that specific song. This time around the Grandfathers got crafted one by one, and there was a GA pretty soon, but was it the right one? Let&#8217;s see what happens! </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">

</div></figure>



<p></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Spoiler of the Results</h2>



<p>Despite having hit the original target after craft no.4 already, Rob obeyed his chat&#8217;s commands and went through with crafting the rest! That no.4 was a very nice Max Resource GA, and the following 6 crafts did actually see another two swords with GAs as well!</p>



<p>Unfortunately, the first one was the worst, Maximum Life! The second was a tricky one, as it was one of the three wanted &#8211; All Stats. But now it was unclear which one was better! In the end, the Maximum Resource one came out on top, with some crazy synergy with <a class="icy-gtnbrg-link" href="#"><span class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip"><img decoding="async" class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip-img" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/static/d4/latest/images/icons/2DInventory_Swords_36.webp" alt="Ramaladni's Magnum Opus"><span class="tooltip-spell-name" data-item-type="Sword" data-item-quality="unique">Ramaladni&#8217;s Magnum Opus</span></span></a> and <a class="icy-gtnbrg-link" href="#"><span class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip"><img decoding="async" class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip-img" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/static/d4/latest/images/icons/2DInventory_Quest_MiscTrinkets_37.webp" alt="Locran's Talisman"><span class="tooltip-spell-name" data-item-type="Amulet" data-item-quality="unique">Locran&#8217;s Talisman</span></span></a>. The masterworking worked out well, and the Barbaian ended up with an insane 393 Fury! </p>



<p>Let&#8217;s see if we get another one of these very entertaining sessions before the season&#8217;s end!</p>
