Diablo Immortal: WTF Happened to My Pet?! + New Battle Pass First Look

ECHO Gaming Staff February 13, 2025 Gaming Diablo 9 days ago

 TL;DR: Diablo Immortal’s Gem Surge is over, leaving behind a surprise platinum reward mix-up. Meanwhile, the bee-themed Battle Pass has arrived, but pet-managed bounties vanished sooner than expected. 

Polished Jade Surprises

If you had leftover Polished Jade from the recent Gem Surge, you might have noticed an unexpected surge in your platinum balance. Players expected only 500 platinum for each unused jade—according to the original patch notes—but ended up receiving 5,000 platinum instead. While this is good news overall, many wish they had saved their jade instead of upgrading random gems.

Bee-Themed Battle Pass

A fresh Battle Pass has landed, sporting a playful honeycomb style. For just a few bucks, you can get gear that looks like it’s straight out of a beehive. Some classes wear it better than others, but the Blood Knight wings and the Barbarian’s honey-themed weapon are particular standouts. If you buy the pass, you’ll also get access to Teloric Pearls to inch closer to crafting stronger gems.

Familiars & Bounties Gone

Many players were thrilled with the familiar system that let pets handle bounties while you went about other quests. It was rumored to last around 60 days, but it ended far too soon—about two weeks in. Those who put pets on 24-hour bounty runs woke up to find the feature gone. Now it’s back to the old routine of tackling your own bounties and picking up the rewards by hand.

Daily Tasks & Events

Beyond the new Battle Pass, some ongoing events remain, such as the Feast of Plenty and Hungering Moon. Don’t forget to claim your two-times experience bonus, but watch the timer since it only lasts a day. If you haven’t used the Authenticator yet, you can snag an extra stash chest—which effectively doubles your storage space for free.

Wrapping Up

While the improved platinum returns were a welcome change for some, early gem upgrades meant others missed out on a larger haul. On top of that, the sudden removal of pet-managed bounties left folks scratching their heads. Still, the new Battle Pass goodies deliver a fresh look, and the daily events keep providing extra rewards.

Have fun with the new honey-coated aesthetic, and keep an eye on any future patch notes. After recent mix-ups, it never hurts to wait for official clarification before spending valuable resources.
