Diablo Immortal Update Brings Gear, Events, and QOL Tweaks
Introduction
Diablo Immortal has received a fresh patch that focuses on tidying up gameplay and sprinkling in a few new treats. You can expect easier gear sorting, a streamlined way to run multiple rare crests at once, and returning events that might reward you with solid loot. Below is a look at what’s changed and how you can make the most of your time in Sanctuary.
New Events: Iron Stockpile & Winds of Fortune
The Iron Stockpile event is back, offering high-value chests stuffed with gear. While it’s a reliable way to boost your equipment, it appears often enough that missing a few milestones won’t leave you behind. If you’re a casual player, you can pick your battles rather than feeling you must reach every goal.
Meanwhile, Winds of Fortune is a one-day buff to gold, gems, and experience. Use it on a day when you plan to run dungeons, heliquary raids, or other farming spots. You only get 24 hours from the moment you activate it, so time it well.
Survivor's Bane: A Favorite Game Mode Returns
Another headliner is the return of Survivor’s Bane. This mode gives you a chance to earn gear and scrap materials while battling waves of enemies. It’s a quick, fun way to stack up resources without feeling locked into repetitive chores.
You can run the easier modes for a decent haul or push into the tougher option if you want a shot at more rewards. It’s one of those events that can mix up your daily routine, so it’s worth dropping in.
Gear Sorting & Combat Rating Changes
Gear management is simpler now. Selecting one piece of gear in your inventory highlights every similar piece. This is great if you play a class with weapons that look alike. It helps avoid mix-ups when deciding which items to salvage or equip.
They’ve also tweaked the combat rating requirements for Inferno tiers, making it easier to reach new difficulty levels. For instance, Inferno 6 now needs 46,190 combat rating at Paragon 800. If you meet the rating earlier, you can head in for pre-farming even before you hit that Paragon milestone.
New Stellar Void Cosmetic (No Phantom Market Needed)
If cosmetics are your thing, the Stellar Void outfit is here. Unlike Phantom Market items, you can buy this directly for 4,500 orbs. It’s a cross-class cosmetic, so the purchase covers all your characters. It even includes a portal effect and a 30-day set of added perks. If you’re willing to spend around $75 (give or take, depending on orbs you already have), this might be a flashy choice for your roster.
Running Multiple Rare Crests
You can now slot up to 100 rare crests in a single Elder Rift run, though it only counts up to 10 for your teammates’ fading embers. For team play, sticking to sets of 10 is still your best call. Go higher only if you need to burn through a big pile of crests and aren’t worried about group gains.
Battleground Updates
Battlegrounds have a new Convoy mechanic, changing how players progress in the match. If you’re a fan of this PvP mode, you’ll spot some differences in how objectives work. Jump in once it’s live and test out the changes to see which strategies rise to the top.
Conclusion
This patch might not shake the foundation of Diablo Immortal, but it aims to smooth out a few rough corners. With returning events, a new cosmetic option, user-friendly gear sorting, and improved combat rating scaling, it’s a decent step forward. If you plan your timing, you can gather double rewards on busy days and grab some gear through the returning events at your own pace.
Whether you’re pushing high-end content or just enjoying the storyline, these tweaks offer a more comfortable experience. Let us know if you’re picking up the new Stellar Void cosmetic or sticking to the gear chase with events like Iron Stockpile and Survivor’s Bane. Stay prepared, and good luck out there!
