Diablo Immortal: Mirrored Jewels, PvP Servers, and Sanctum

ECHO Gaming Staff April 3, 2025 Gaming Diablo 1 month ago

 TL;DR: A Mirrored Jewels event could give you double Legendary Gems in one Elder Rift run (best used with 10 Crests). Some players are maxing out their Sanctum progression, while new PvP-focused servers are under testing in China. Also, activate Winds of Fortune for more rewards over 24 hours. 

Introduction

Diablo Immortal keeps rolling out new twists, and players worldwide are buzzing about a rumored Mirrored Jewels event. Plus, we’re seeing folks finish the Sanctum grind, and whispers of a special PvP test server in China have many wondering what might come next. If you’re aiming to stay competitive and capitalize on in-game opportunities, here’s everything you should know.

Mirrored Jewels Event Rumors

Based on early information from the Chinese version of the game, the Mirrored Jewels event might be launching there on April 6. During this event, running an Elder Rift with a Legendary Crest gives you two Legendary Gems instead of one. You only get this double-gem boost once, so the usual plan is to drop ten Legendary Crests in a single Elder Rift to grab an extra stash of unbound gems.

We don’t yet know for sure if this event will surface on North American servers. Still, it’s smart to hold onto ten Crests, just in case. Even free-to-play players can manage 20 Legendary Crests per month if they stay on top of certain tasks. Saving a few for a possible double gem day is a no-brainer.

Maxing Out the Sanctum

Word has spread that some fans have finally pushed their I-Ben Fod’s Sanctum bonuses to level 60. This is a big milestone but remember that your regular gems still hold enormous value in overall power. The Sanctum shrine offers perks like extra Armor, Armor Penetration, Life, and Damage. You can pick which stats to boost by spending Aspirant’s Keys on crystals.

Not sure what to upgrade first? Target stats such as Armor and Armor Penetration ahead of Life if you want more impact. Also, consider running only the first room each day and saving your keys until you have 377. That amount lets you clear the entire Sanctum for every possible reward in one sweep.

Testing PvP Servers in China

Beyond the usual gameplay updates, Blizzard is experimenting with a PvP-focused server in China. This test server hands out 1,600 Eternal Crests for free, mainly to help participants level characters quickly and try out new features. Once the test ends, the server will wipe everything, so these extras don’t carry over to permanent accounts.

Here’s what stands out:

Open-world PvP: Most in-game areas allow player vs. player battles. If you’re defeated while carrying unidentified gear, you lose it. To stay safe, identify items right away.
Shadow War 2.0: Clans fight in a capture-the-flag style setup. Winners occupy a map region until the next battle, earning 30% extra experience and improved gear drop rates.

There’s no guarantee these changes will appear on North American servers, but it’s interesting to see Blizzard testing new PvP ideas that might (or might not) expand globally in the future.

Winds of Fortune and Double XP Strategy

Winds of Fortune offers 24 hours of bonus rewards once activated. To get the most out of it, plan your big in-game activities—like dungeons and bounties—around those hours. If you have daily or weekly tasks saved up, tackle them during this period for extra drops and sweeten your experience gains.

Final Thoughts

There’s plenty to keep Diablo Immortal enthusiasts busy. Keep a stash of Legendary Crests on hand just in case the Mirrored Jewels event arrives. If you’re still building up the Sanctum, prioritize armor stats for a stronger defense and better damage output. And for those curious about the new PvP server testing, we’ll see if these bold experiments migrate outside of China.

No matter how you play, these updates show the game’s continuing push to keep us challenged. Enjoy the climb, and stay ready for whatever might drop next.
