New Diablo 4 patch notes stamp out 'infinite goblin' War Plans exploit
Read captured notes
Blizzard has released its next Diablo 4 patch notes, which solve a range of gripes blocking quest progression and incorrectly restricting rewards across the action RPG. The new update also takes aim at a few cheeky tricks with War Plans that could be used to spawn effectively infinite loot goblins at a time, or continuously fight the Amalgam of Rage over and over. It shuts down some other notable exploits along the way, and corrects tooltips in the wake of an earlier fix for Ball Lightning Sorcerers.
A big new Diablo 4 patch buffs everyone with bug fixes, and solves War Plans frustrations

Read captured notes
The Tree of Whispers’ most prized possessions are missing: the many Heads which pay their endless debt amongst its gnarled limbs. Uncover the source of this malevolent plot to discover incredible power. Starting on January 21, at 10 a.m. PST, embark on a new Seasonal Questline to unlock powers of Witchcraft, slay the rogue Headrotten, and uncover the secrets behind this haunting mystery. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44681402/70edb5372125c16fca8873c0f9a84f1091790c45.jpg Witchcraft Powers will be your gateway to wonderful new abilities, augmenting and empowering your existing skills. You’ll earn them as you uncover the mystery of the Coven, a group of heady Witches deep from within the bogs of Hawezar who are eager to serve the Tree of Whispers. As you ally with the Tree of Whispers, you’ll progress and enhance these wild powers throughout Season of Witchcraft. This update also brings changes to all realms with the Armory, which lets you swap between your favorite builds with ease. Vessel of Hatred owners can search out and wield both new and updated Runes. Plus, there’s new Uniques and Legendary Aspects to earn and master, an all-new Pet in the Season Journey, and more. Thank you to everyone who participated in December’s 2.1 Public Test Realm. We want you all to know that we’ve integrated feedback throughout this blog, but some feedback that was given will be used to help shape and inform future seasons. Ally with the Coven {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44681402/69b0dc15f7b47919ccb3ecfe4a385ffe74bc11db.jpg Heed the call of the Witches of Hawezar, a Coven that is bound by the deep magic oozing from the swamps they call home. The Coven are the protectors of the Tree of Whispers, who discovered its many captive Heads are missing. The Tree forgets no oaths and forgives no debts, and these Heads have dues to pay till the end of days. However, these missing Heads have been set loose—free to carry out their own hunt—travelling across Sanctuary to seek bodies and reclaim what was once theirs. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44681402/abbaf87a3c86575f81279b203000593266f27182.jpg Summoned by the Witches of Hawezar, unravel the mystery of the missing Heads and expose the culprit in an all-new Questline. Within the Questline, you’ll uncover the tantalizing secrets to learn and harness seasonal Witchcraft Powers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44681402/b38e33cb8f970a70fa6d9054f2e0aa84170cebb7.jpg Help them to return the Heads to the Tree, and solve the mystery of who is stealing the Heads and why, and the Coven will reward you with the secrets of their awesome incantations. To begin the questline, head to Gea Kul and speak with the Witch Gelena. Master Powers of Witchcraft {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44681402/4e11cc307fc3f22179bf7dad820adccf7f14a0a8.jpg A strange sorcery has risen from the crags and bogs of Sanctuary—a sparkle is in the air and the ground thrums with the presence of dark magic. Embark on the Seasonal Questline, unlock the wondrous powers of Witchcraft, and unleash these newfound horrors to melt the bones of the unwilling. There are three schools to learn and master: Eldritch—Wield magic that harnesses destructive energies. Psyche—Wield defensive powers of the mind and spirit to create visions, focus your attacks, and induce madness in your enemies. Growth & Decay—Wield living magic that both heals and harms, boosting Life, Resource. These incantations can create horrific diseases and disruptions. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44681402/c8ae3332380eae96c8865f0919b6739c0f9171db.jpg Plus, discover rare Lost powers of Witchcraft unkown to both the Coven and the Tree. Each school of Witchcraft gives you the chance to experiment between new styles of power. Tinker with your build to create something strange and terrible to dismember your many formidable foes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44681402/4b92ee651e994107fa448f898b1f0052c2f1c78f.jpg To learn Witchcraft, earn Seasonal reputation with the Coven from completing new Whisper bounties and defeating hulking Headrotten enemies to earn Restless Rot. At specific Tiers, you’ll unlock the ability to learn more Witchcraft Powers at Witches’ Altars near the Tree of Whispers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44681402/c18203ff51f3076ca619c5165acf5402c2c18c8d.jpg To earn your Witchcraft Powers, do as the Witches ask by hunting down the Headrotten and returning the Heads where they belong to earn Restless Rot. This will grant you favor amongst The Coven. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44681402/76d2ade49588b62f3168c96cec0b78ef247ff946.jpg Once you’ve earned favor with the Coven, upgrade the Altars underneath the Tree of Whispers to unlock new Witchcraft Powers. To unlock Lost powers, you’ll need a Forgotten Altar. Forgotten Altars are elusive, so keep an eye out for them within random dungeons throughout Sanctuary. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44681402/2f5158bf378a90314a702b3514baa2a8cdc1c419.jpg Witchcraft Powers can be upgraded directly in your inventory using the Restless Rot you’ve earned.

The ability to effortlessly swap between saved builds in town has arrived and will remain a feature in both Eternal and Seasonal Realms after Season of Witchcraft. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44681402/2058217459af2f3d90d3e15807fdc89c6408739c.jpg The Armory is a brand-new feature which gives you the option to Save, Load, and Name your favorite builds and the option to select those builds to change your Characters current loadout. The buttons to select each will are named after their function. The Armory is Character bound; you’ll have 5 Loadout slots per character. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44681402/90f357c0a29498a3709075be1f6f31b02ce9e9e1.jpg At a glance from your Loadout, you’ll be viewing Equipment, Skills, selected Paragon Nodes and Glyphs that make up your saved build. Note: changing between Loadout slots with differing Paragon loadouts does not cost Gold. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44681402/0ca683cacbb156795b6642bb196f779af573bcbe.jpg To use the Armory, start by selecting an empty slot and save your build to begin. Saving your loadout will capture the following: Equipped Items, Paragon Board and Glyphs, Skill Selections, and Class mechanic. The Armory can be accessed across each major city in Sanctuary, and end-game hubs such as the Citadel, Tree of Whispers, and Training Grounds in Kyovashad. The Welcome Back Booster is Here to Stay {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44681402/cef5e8e09cbacd86d7231edb800298c35c88cfb0.jpg We’ve made some incredible updates for players on the Eternal Realm, first of which is that the Welcome Back Booster is here to stay. The ability to instantly boost an eternal realm character to Level 50, complete with Legendary Items, and pre-set class skills will now remain as a permanent feature in-game. For more details on the Welcome Back Booster, read our blog here. Tree of Whispers and General Updates The Tree of Whispers has a new and improved layout for Season of Witchcraft, which will remain past the Season’s end. Additionally, each Class mechanic quest completion is now account bound. Once you’ve completed the Class specific quest once, it’ll be completed for any new Character of the same class. You’ll unlock your specific Class mechanic at the Level where the Class mechanic quest would have become available. For example, after completion of the “True Potential” quest for the Rogue, upon reaching Level 15 on your next Rogue character, you’ll automatically unlock the Specialization mechanic. For those savvy buildcrafters looking for the perfectly rolled item across Sanctuary, unique items with Greater Affixes are improving. When a unique item has more Greater Affixes, the minimum roll of the unique power will be increased per Greater Affix. This better aligns with the overall power of the item, which makes items with 3-4 Greater Affixes feel really impactful. New and Updated Runes For Vessel of Hatred players to employ, the Alchemists of Sanctuary have been toiling to craft new sources of arcane power, use these potent sources of magic for dastardly deeds or enlightened benefaction.
