    TL;DR: Get ready for a potential two-times gem drop event, keep your Legendary Crests handy, and save high-level gear until you reach Paragon 700. Also, don’t miss Survivor’s Bane for solid rewards and daily fun.

Introduction

Hey everyone! If you’re on the hunt for ways to raise your combat rating and track event rewards in Diablo Immortal, you’re in the right place. We’re breaking down the latest news from China’s blog, talking about upcoming gem opportunities, and sharing a few top tips on how to juggle bounties, daily grinds, and a fan-favorite mode called Survivor’s Bane.

Latest Updates from China

Players in China recently finished celebrating the new year and are now back in the swing of things. Their blog mentioned a two-times event running from February 6 to February 12, with a chance for extra Legendary Gems. While we’re waiting for confirmation about these drops in North America, it’s smart to keep some Legendary Crests on hand just in case the event goes global.

They hinted that this two-times event sometimes appears with a mirrored jewels boost, so staying alert may pay off. Holding on to at least 10 Legendary Crests could help you scoop up extra gem rewards. That’s never a bad move, especially if you’re aiming to improve your gear without spending real money.

Preparing for the Gem Surge

Since server Paragon 700 is only a couple of weeks away, many players need to raise their combat rating to handle Inferno V. The jump requires around 45,665 combat rating. If you’re short on rating, it helps to save mystery Legendary items until you hit Paragon 700. Then, open them for a shot at higher-level gear. This can give you a major boost without extra grinding.

You might also want to watch the Gem Surge event. Even if you’re not spending, running a bunch of Rare Crests can inch you closer to extra Polished Jade and other resources. You can trade these for Platinum or use them to upgrade your two-star Legendary Gems. Every little bit counts in the climb to higher difficulties.

Survivor’s Bane and Daily Grind

Survivor’s Bane is a personal favorite mode. It’s a fast, wave-based activity that offers good rewards. Each quick run usually helps with your Battle Pass progress, so it’s worth spending time here instead of repetitive tasks. Between all the daily chores—bounties, Abyssal runs, and more—finding a fun, rewarding mode is a bonus.

Familiar pets have also added quality-of-life perks. They can handle bounties and other missions while you focus on modes you genuinely enjoy. Nobody wants to spend an hour every day on repetitive chores, so letting your pets pick up the slack is great. It’s unclear how long this will stay in the game, but many hope it becomes permanent.

Community Insight: A Whale Interview

Keep an eye out for a special interview with a high-spending player known as RP. This conversation touches on account sharing, terms of service, and why some folks invest heavily. It might shift how you look at Diablo Immortal’s “big fish” community and the motivations behind their choices. Expect that interview soon—there are some surprising viewpoints that you won’t want to miss.

Final Thoughts

Two-times gem drops, higher difficulty ceilings, and convenient familiars are keeping Diablo Immortal interesting. Watch for official announcements on events and get ready to pounce on them if they become available in your region. Stockpile those Legendary Crests, stash away your higher-tier gear until Paragon 700, and give Survivor’s Bane a spin if you’re craving a break from the usual chores. Good luck out there, and see you in Sanctuary!
