Diablo Immortal: Double Drops & Mirrored Jewels Event in January!
TL;DR: The Diablo Immortal community is buzzing about the confirmed return of double drops and the Mirrored Jewels event in early January, specifically January 6th-7th. Expect double XP, gold, gear, and a chance to mirror legendary gems. Plus, potential character size buffs are on the horizon.
This article covers the confirmed arrival of highly anticipated events in Diablo Immortal, specifically the double drops and Mirrored Jewels events. We'll break down the details, including dates, expected benefits, and strategies to maximize your rewards. We'll also touch on other upcoming content, and a pretty tasty looking Diablo promotion!
Double Drops Event: A Leveling Bonanza
The Double Drops event is officially arriving on January 6th and 7th! This event will provide players with double the loot from various in-game activities. This means double experience, double gold, double gear drops, and double the usual gem drops in the open world.
- Experience Boost: Level up your characters faster. This is a perfect opportunity to try out a new class.
- Gear Up: Double the legendary gear drops mean you will get more Essences to help with class changes.
- Gold Galore: Earn more gold to purchase valuable resources and upgrade your gear.
- Gem Grinding: Get double gems from regular drops! This will help you power up your gear with more standard gems.
Mirrored Jewels Event: Double Your Legendary Gems
The Mirrored Jewels event is another event that will be running alongside the Double Drops event. This event allows players to duplicate the legendary gems they receive from a special run after inputting 10 legendary crests. The gem quality will be mirrored, but the gem will be account-bound – meaning you cannot sell it on the market.
How Mirrored Jewels Works
- Use 10 Legendary Crests: Go to the designated event section in the menu and input 10 crests.
- Run the Dungeon: Complete the dungeon, keeping note of what legendary gems you receive.
- Get Mirrored Gems: The legendary gems you get from the run will be mirrored. If it is a one or two-star gem, the mirrored version will be bound to your account (just like red crests). The same applies to five-star gems, making this a great way to level up.
Whether you use Eternal legendary crests (purple) or bound (red) ones to do the Mirrored Jewels run doesn't really matter. All of the mirrored gems will be bound to your account, so it's best to use what you have!
Character Size Buffs: An Unusual Twist
Patch notes from China also mention something unusual: temporary character size buffs, officially referred to as "Combo Giantization." This appears to be a temporary modification that can change a player character's size (sometimes even doubling or tripling it). These buffs are paired with an increase to other character properties. So far, no specific properties have been revealed so we await confirmation as this is rolled out.
Potential Character Size Buffs
- Visual Change: It will be interesting to see the change in character scale in-game!
- New Gameplay Mechanics?: It's not confirmed but this could be tied to increased character stats.
- Temporary Effect: The size increase is likely temporary and may only be available during specific event windows.
These buffs are just some of the cool stuff potentially making its way over here from China, be sure to keep checking back to IGN for future updates!
Other Events and Current Activities
While we wait for the double drop and Mirrored Jewels events, there is still plenty to do in Diablo Immortal. Here are some current activities and events you might want to take a look at:
- Days of Dawnspan: Complete daily tasks to earn rewards. This gives players free battle pass progression and rewards, including legendary crests.
- Abyssal Verge & Elder Rifts: Quickly run these for Aspen Keys, legendary items, and more battle pass points.
- Trial of the Hordes: Jump into this quick PvP match mode for a fun time and some sweet battle pass progression.
- All Clans on Deck: Make sure you collect your free loot, and other loot if you are an officer of a clan!
Be sure to check in every day to see what new things there are to do. The events are a great way to keep your character leveled, and help you progress through the battle pass!
Diablo Burgers? We're In!

The "Prime Diablo" is a beefy burger, while the "Immortal Catch" is a grilled salmon option. This promotion is running in conjunction with the "nbcb2004" code, which you can redeem through the online store. Be sure to check it out, and claim any freebies!
