Here’s a preview on what to expect for D3 Season 26!

Diablo 3 Season 26 Start!

NOW!

S26 Theme: Echoing Nightmare

S26’s unique mechanic is the Echoing Nightmare. Here’s how it works

– Beat a Greater Rift Guardian, get a Petrified Scream.
– Transmute the Scream in the cube, and enter an Echoing Nightmare

More difficult as it progresses, progress faster by killing monsters quickly. Rewards on completing an Echoing Nightmare: EXP, Legendary Items, Blood Shards, Gems, and a new Legendary Gem, Whisper of Atonement.

– Whisper of Atonement is used exclusively to augment legendaries, up to L125!

Thank god… this basically removes a huge grind via levelling up gems for augmentation at least up to 125 which is good for 99% of people.

Season 26 Patch Notes

  • Patch 2.7.3 (check to see the new pet Lesser Mummy, and the new portraits)
Season is ending - What happens to my items? My Character?

“What happens to my seasonal characters when season ends!?”

ALL your seasonal characters, and the items they’re wearing and holding, are automatically re-allocated as NON-SEASONAL (eternal) characters! NOTHING IS LOST. Paragon EXP is added to your total pool of NS Paragon EXP. (Money, too)

“What happens to my items after the season ends!?”

ALL your items in the stash are “mailed” to your non-seasonal world. THESE ITEMS EXPIRE AFTER 30 DAYS from season start!!! So junk them, store them, do whatever you want! Just remember that if they’re still in your mail for 30 days, they’re gone!

Season 26 Start Guides!

If you’re a brand new player – we suggest going seasonal for the stash tab! Your characters will be ported to non-seasonal (Eternal) afterwards, anyway!

Leveling up: Use our new leveling tool to see your full build per level! (See: D3 General Leveling Process – there’s links to the class specific).

Fresh 70: A comprehensive guide for each class on what you should be doing once you hit fresh level 70. For the curious, here are the free sets this season:

Season 26 free sets – by class

Remember to gear up your followers! Returning players might not know about the whole emanate mechanic. Your followers can now boost your farming capability!

  6. i am lvl 70 and done with chapter 2 but master dificulty will not unlock how do i get it unlocked to do master lvl diablo and master lvl rifts?

    • You do not “need” to do anything to unlock game difficulty. Right before you press “Start Game”, you can change the difficulty under GAME SETTINGS > under DIFFICULTY, you can choose the difficulty and torment of the game.

  7. you are probably aware but the season 11 Witch Doctor guides are pointing to season 10. All the others are fine as far as I can tell

  8. I’m new to Diabolos (PS4) and I’m already frustrated with the season 11 since I cannot seem to find any how-to tutorials or figure out how to start/progress through the chapters. I play with my friend and he cant figure it out either. We have completed 3 sets of bounties each day and no unlocks. We were on Act V then switched to Act I figuring we have to start from the beginning. Nope-chapter 1 is still incomplete. We defeated Naphalm like six times because its the “start”-nope. We defeated him on hard mode, expert and attempted torment but both of us didnt have a chance. He did manage somehow to get 1/4 complete after defeating Naphalm but I didnt even though I was fighting along his side. I was thinking maybe we need to be lv70 to progress but nope cuz he got 1/4 and i have more xp than him. We defeated another set of bounties and neither of us triggered that either. Any idea what we’re doing wrong?

  9. Hi! I have done many rift at ”Expert” or higher… and the Expert challenge on chapter 2 wont check. Since its my last one to complet ch.2… can u help me?

  11. So you have to clear quest of 4 chapter to get 1 set of each for your characters or you have to play another to get another sets ?

      • If I start with a monk, and clear to 2 chapter, and delete the monk, and start with a crusader, I will get the full set (off course, clearing the 4 chapters quest)?

        • You can get a maximum of 3 “haedrig’s gifts” each season, ideally on the same character to get acces to a full set bonus. If you were to receive the first “haedrigs gift” on your monk (containing 2 set pieces). If you then were to switch to a crusader, you wouldn’t get the first “haedrigs gift” for chapter 2 I believe, but only the two gifts from chapters 3 and 4 (ending up missing 2 set pieces).
