Bust out the broomsticks and giant iron pots, because the Season of Witchcraft is just around the corner in Diablo 4. Starting January 21, Diablo 4: Season of Witchcraft will kick off and with it will come new activities, new content, and new items to earn.
Heads have been stolen from the Tree of Whispers and the Witches of Hawezar need your help in tracking them down. In exchange for your services you will be able to earn new seasonal rewards. These include new Uniques and Legendaries that have been added to the loot pool. Those with the Vessel of Hatred expansion can also find three new Runes and updates to existing Runes.
Players will also be able to make use of various powers from three different schools of Witchcraft. There are also new bosses in the form of Headrotten Bosses, based on the heads that have been cut from the Tree of Whispers.
One of the biggest additions coming with the Season of Witchcraft is the long awaited armory feature. This feature will finally let you save and swap complete character loadouts. This will let you swap all gear, skill points, and paragon points in one go.
- WITCHCRAFT: From the teachings of the Witches of Howezar, players can channel the power of the Swamp. Explore three different schools of Witchcraft Powers to find the ability combination that suits your playstyle, whether you seek supernatural strength, are a practitioner of connected mind and spirit, or wish to balance healing and harming skills. By finding and equipping the new Seasonal Legendary Gems, Occult Gems, you can harness devastating and iconic abilities, some of which harken back to Diablo III.
- HEADROTTEN BOSSES: Cut from the Tree of Whispers, the Stolen Heads have mutated into ghastly abominations, desperate to become whole and human again. New Headrotten Bosses and enemies await as you follow the Whispers of the Dead. By completing the new endgame Headhunts, players can hunt down Headrotten and claim their heads in exchange for Occult Gems. If you’re lucky, you might find a “Headed” Headrotten Boss, a rare boss variant that grants even more valuable rewards.
- ARMORY: The long awaited new armory feature allows players to quickly save and swap complete character loadouts. Save and overwrite different builds for your heroes as you please; all Gear, Skill Points, and Paragon Points will be automatically applied when swapping.
- SEASONAL REWARDS: Season of Witchcraft adds additional Uniques and Legendaries to the loot pool. Vessel of Hatred players can also experience three new Runes and many updates to existing Runes. Those who seek more drops can ascend tiers of the Coven’s Favor, earn rewards like a Raven Pet via the Season Journey, or progress through the Battle Pass.
