Nightmare Dungeon Rotation for Season 7: Full List and Breakdown


<p>There are big changes coming to class quests in patch 2.1/Season 7! From account-wide completion to new rewards, let&#8217;s take a look at all of them. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">One and Done</h2>



<p>First off, Blizzard announced that all class quests will only need to be completed once per account starting with Season 7. Once you finish a class&#8217;s quest all future characters of the same class on that account, even in new seasons, will have the class feature unlock automatically at the intended levels. No more remembering to do class quests late and leveling without them for far too long! </p>



<p>Class quests will also now grant players a reward at the end. A legendary cache with loot specifically tailored for the class will drop at the end of the questline. </p>


Account-Wide Completion and Legendary Rewards: Class Quest Changes in Diablo 4 Season 7


<p>Patch 2.1 AKA Season 7 is bringing some major improvements to both legendary Aspects and Unique items! </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Legendary Aspects</h2>



<p>First off we have the already announced improvement to Ancestral Aspects. In Season 6 players have been very frustrated by the very difficult process by which we can get Aspect ranks. Once we reach a certain Aspect rank in the Codex, only Ancestral items can have high enough Aspect values to upgrade our rank. However, those values were rolled completely randomly. So despite getting an Ancestral legendary, you could still get a lower Aspect roll than what you need to upgrade it for the Codex. </p>



<p>Luckily that&#8217;s about to change in Season 7. We now have the full details of the (massive) improvement to Ancestrals. The minimum roll on an Ancestral legendary item&#8217;s Aspect values will now be equal to the maximum of a non-Ancestral legendary! So now it will be much easier to rank up those Codex Aspects and get some solid builds going! </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unique Items</h2>



<p>Uniques are getting a similar treatment, but instead of Ancestrals being affected, it&#8217;s Greater Affixes. Unique power rolls on items will now get higher rolls for each Greater Affix present on the item. This means the more GA&#8217;s you get on a Unique, the higher the baseline roll for its power values will be! And that&#8217;s not all, as all Uniques are getting a baseline reduction in variance on their power values as well. So it&#8217;s better numbers on Unique powers all around! </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height:500px" ><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1gdmtjd/why_3ga_isnt_any_better_than_a_non_ga_unique/">Why 3GA isn’t any better than a non GA unique…</a><br> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Intelligent-Ant8270/">u/Intelligent-Ant8270</a> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/">diablo4</a></blockquote><script async src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
</div></figure>


Unique Item and Legendary Aspect Power Rolls Increased on Ancestral and Greater Affix Drops


<p>Season 7 is bringing some serious improvements to Infernal Hordes! From quality of live benefits to more Compasses, increased gold rewards and more, let&#8217;s dive in. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stackable Compasses</h2>



<p>In today&#8217;s patch 2.1/Season 7 notes Blizzard shared that <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_DungeonSigils_7.webp" alt="Infernal Compass"><span class="tooltip-spell-name" data-item-type="Reputation Cache" data-item-quality="magic">Infernal Compass</span></span></a>es will now stack in player inventories! We will still need a few slots for them, as only the same tier compasses will stack. But that&#8217;s still a huge win for our inventory space! Their stack limit is 99, so let&#8217;s see if anyone can gather up enough to have one tier take up more than one slot. Old ones on Eternal realms will be changed to &#8220;Broken Compass&#8221;, but you can just use that to generate a new random, stackable version. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A More Consistent Source</h2>



<p>The way compasses drop is also getting changed. Greater Helltide chests will now have a higher chance of dropping them, while other activities will have lower drop rates. Whisper bounties, Nightmare Dungeons, Lesser Helltide chests and the Pit will drop compasses less frequently. So now we have a very specific way in which to get access to Infernal Hordes, and with the changes to Cinder drop rates (if they remain this insane in Season 7) it should be easier than ever to get in there! </p>



<p>There is also a brand new way to get compasses, as a new Whisper Cache will be added to the game, and it drops 3 compasses and 3 NMD sigils! </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Infernal1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image 37909"/></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Infernal Hordes Activity Changes</h2>



<p>A particularly nasty bug that caused progression in hordes to just stop was hopefully fixed for good this time. Enemies could become untargetable, which would brick your compass, and Blizzard say this will be fixed in the new season.</p>



<p>We&#8217;re also getting more gold from the Gold chest at the end of the activity! The amount wasn&#8217;t specified, but it should be significant if it deserved its own patch note.</p>



<p></p>



<p>So it&#8217;s time to get into Infernal Hordes more frequently and consistently, get more gold, AND potentially not have your progress halted! Season 7 should arrive on January 21st, according to the Season 6 Battle Pass, but that may change.  </p>

Master the Mid-Season Meta: Top Class and Build Tier Lists for Season 6!


<p>Here&#8217;s a good news-bad news scenario, as a player gathered up a whole lot of Mythic uniques and runes to get a good Greater Affix (GA) roll on a <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_Items_Torso_Generic_14.webp" alt="Shroud of False Death"><span class="tooltip-spell-name" data-item-type="Chest Armor" data-item-quality="mythic">Shroud of False Death</span></span></a>. Except before they took the plunge and started crafting, an almost perfect one dropped the regular way! </p>



<p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/raphattack/">Raphattack</a> was gathering a whole lot of runes and potential Resplendent Sparks to mass-craft a whole lot of Shrouds. Even then they were well aware of the almost futile nature of it. They already had a regular Shroud, but were going to roll the dice on more than one Greater Affix. Fully expecting to make 20 or so Shrouds and have none of them be better than 1 GA, a miracle happened and a triple one dropped just out of the blue! Andariel was the generous boss that made it all happen. </p>

<p>We even got a breakdown of all the Mythics present in the bank tab, which was also changed to purple &#8211; which you clearly need when you have a full stash tab of Mythics).</p>



<ul>
<li>6x Andy&#8217;s.</li>



<li>5x Shakos, zero cooldown reduction :(.</li>



<li>2x Heir of Perditions</li>



<li>2x Tyrael&#8217;s</li>



<li>2x Shroud</li>



<li>9x Shattered Vow</li>



<li>9x Nesekem, The Herald</li>



<li>11x Ring of Starless Skies, zero +core skills 🙁</li>



<li>4x Melted Heart</li>
</ul>



<p></p>



<p>So if you were planning on crafting a whole lot of a specific Mythic, maybe do them one by one, and not 20 at a time and save yourself some materials! </p>

<p>Blizzard made several quality-of-life improvements for Whispers in Patch 2.1! Check them out!</p>



<p>The &#8220;town&#8221; near the Tree of Whispers has been updated with more services. The layout has changed to make it more convenient to navigate.</p>



<p>Players can turn in Whispers remotely without leaving the zone at Raven of the Tree.</p>



<p>Finally, Ancient caches have been added to the Tree of Whispers. Their drop rate is meager, but they are there!</p>
