Oh, I was wrong. I need to do 4 more things to finish the Season Journey. And it's all pretty grindy. Welp, that's probably it for me then.

Gonna take a week off and come back for season 4 nice and ready.

Really dumb question but is there another chest for Zoltuns warding besides the ones for 1 and 4? I've tried using 4 pearls but I've only seen those two chests. I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing out on something with these runs here.

Nightmare versions add a 10 chest so you need 15 wardings total left to open them all.

Ok that must be a WT 4 thing then is there a way to upgrade the Sigils that I’m missing? I’ve got boat loads of the WT 3 ones

You salvage the WT3 (Sacred) sigils then craft WT4 (Ancestral) sigils with the dust. Also when you get to WT4 you start finding Ancestral sigils.

Yeah that's WT4. You'll get Ancestral Sigils. I honestly wouldn't even run NMDs or Vaults in WT3 because you'll be doing it A LOT in WT4. Helltides, Whispers, Legions, and Harbinger summons will keep you swimming in xp until you can do the Capstone.

Yeah I am level 72 right now but not sure about moving up to WT 4 quite yet but maybe I should? I did the capstone easy enough :shrug:

You should definitely go to WT4. There's a whole new tier of gear (ancestral, replaces sacred) so as soon as you get a few drops your power will jump massively. Wt4 also has a bigger XP multiplier so you will level a lot faster

If you did the capstone already there's no reason not to. Do a few Legions when you get there and you'll get enough gear to hang. Just make sure you've got Aspects ready to imbue.

Yeah with experience, a good build, and some lucky Sacred items you should be able to beat the capstone at 62/63 and immediately do ok in WT4 after riding along on a few Legion events or burning your obols on items you need upgraded the most.

it just shows "Trials are complete for the week" or something similar and the Start Trial button is greyed out. i thought it was just because i logged in initially during the 9-10 reset window, but it's still there

For the helltide commanders season journey do you just run around looking for one or do multiple spawn? I guess I killed one of them but I have no idea how or when

They're at the end of events.The portal invasion one and the one with the big tornado. The roaming boss Kixxarth also counts for it.

So they don’t spawn till the toward the end?

Also I killed kixx twice and it didn’t give me credit for it for whatever reason

the only guys that count now (iirc krixx used to but doesn't now) come from the end of those events. those events only spawn in a few places per helltide and aren't guaranteed; you might get some other event you have to churn through in order to see the right one. looks specifically for the biggest open circular type event areas. those are the only ones that are big enough to host the tornado and portal events that spawn the correct dude at the end

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

ive decided that i will play this season, having dipped out shortly after launch.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
Got a good laugh at them calling this the Loot Reborn patch.

It all sounds good though! I am vaguely looking forward to it. Probably do a minion necro.

Got it.

They don’t show up on the map from what I can tell either so you gotta kinda ride around and hope for the best?

helltides.com will show you where all the events are in a region. I use it way less now that all the chests are actually shown on the game map, but it was clutch in those early days.

correct. they don't even list them on third party sites like helltides
com you just gotta get a feel for where they can spawn

helltides does however list every place an event can spawn, so i use it cycle through all of them to see if the one that i need has spawned

Perfect! I only need 4 more so hopefully I can knock those out today. I’ll probably finish the battle pass before that though.

kixx is still good to target kill for forgotten souls early in a season too, which is actually what i mostly use helltides for now that they show his patrols on their maps

They would have called it Loot 2.0 but they did that last time they made most of these same changes to fix another one of their games.

Hey now. They have to actually give us Diablo before they can move onto Diablo 5, 6 etc.

Jokes aside, given the average time between Diablo games, I would be content with them feeding us a new act + prime evil via an expac every year or so, as opposed to releasing one expac and then a game mechanics tweak every 3-6 months for the next 6-10 years until they release the next one.

By the time we get 3 expansion acts down, you'll probably be able to finish the campaign and go straight into WT4.
