Diablo 4 Boosting

With Diablo 4 2.5.0 PTR coming to an end at 11:00 AM on October 28th, it's time to take a break from the excitement of previewing Season 11 and focus on finishing up Season 10, especially with the game introducing two new events specifically for this occasion.

These two events are Mother's Blessing and Seasonal Splendor. The former is a long-standing favorite for all Diablo 4 loyalists, while the latter is a brand-new addition to Season 10 Chaos Perks mechanic.

Interestingly, both events coincide with Halloween 2025, but Diablo 4 doesn't seem to be planning any Halloween-themed events, either through these events or through additional new events, which may be puzzling.

With this in mind, we'll provide a detailed introduction to each of these events and analyze the lack of a dedicated Halloween Diablo 4 event.

Mother's Blessing For The End Of Season 10

Mother's Blessing is a recurring event in the game that occurs almost every season, typically mid-to-late in the season. It accelerates you to complete character leveling or Season Journey before the end of the season.

This Mother's Blessing begins on October 28, 2025. While a specific end date has not yet been announced, it will probably last for one to two weeks (a week is more likely).

During Mother's Blessing, you'll receive a 35% increase in XP earned from completing battles, and a 50% increase in Diablo 4 gold drops. This will help you level up your character or Paragon board faster and accumulate more resources.

Note: If you own buffs like Elixirs, you can use them simultaneously during Mother's Blessing. This will combine the benefits of both buffs, accelerating your progress through Season Journey and Reliquary Battle Pass, allowing you to unlock higher-level rewards.

Additionally, during Mother's Blessing, completing Tree of Whispers bounties will earn you bonus Gift of the Tree caches when you turn in Favors.

Seasonal Splendor Event

This event begins the same day as Mother's Blessing and is expected to end on November 3rd. Its purpose is to increase the amount of Infernal Warp you receive through battles during this week.

This item can be used to upgrade your Seasonal Power Chaos Perks. Exclusive to Season 10, you can equip up to four Chaos Perks of varying rarities per battle, boosting the power of your character and builds.

The more Infernal Warp you possess, the stronger your Chaos Perks and, ultimately, your character. To maximize the benefits of the Seasonal Splendor event, you should choose the most efficient way to farm Infernal Warp during this period.

Currently, you can obtain this item by finding Chaos Rifts spawning in Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons. Infernal Warp is dropped by monsters in rifts, and the rewards for sealing rifts also include Infernal Warp.

In Helltides, Chaos Rifts spawn randomly and can be identified and found by their icons on the minimap. However, this farming method is highly random and requires competition with other players, so Nightmare Dungeons are more recommended.

First, Nightmare Dungeons are privately created and cannot be entered by others. Second, when you add Infernal Warp Reserve affix to a dungeon, Infernal Warp is guaranteed to drop after the battle is completed.

Why Are There Still No Halloween-Specific Events?

In fact, not just this year, Diablo 4 has not held any special Halloween-themed events since its launch. Honestly, this is quite strange, as Diablo 4 already has many horror elements that are well-suited to Halloween, and it would be a shame not to utilize them.

Holiday celebrations not only enhance the festive atmosphere in the game, but also provide additional playable events and festive decorations to enrich your game collection.

Both the player community and developers have shared ideas and concepts for Halloween events in Diablo 4 across various platforms, most of which are quite interesting and definitely worth implementing.

The most famous of these was probably the Headless Horseman, proposed by Diablo 4's lead combat designer, Owen Leach. He envisioned this enemy, like Butcher, randomly dropping into Sanctuary during Halloween, offering both frights and rewards.

However, two years after its release, none of these ideas have been implemented into the game, which is a bit of a shame. But it's not just Halloween; while Diablo 4 holds a fair number of events annually, few of them embody the elements and atmosphere of the real holidays.

It seems that for Diablo 4, simply having an event to celebrate is enough; the event itself doesn't need to forcefully reflect the characteristics of a real holiday. Take, for example, Midwinter Blight event held last December.

While this might feel a bit unfortunate, from another perspective, it makes the game feel less connected to the real world and more distant, making every story about Sanctuary feel like it actually happened in another world, not just fiction.

Whether you agree with this or not, this is indeed what makes Diablo 4 unique. Every game should have something irreplaceable that makes it unforgettable, right?

Regardless of how Diablo 4 plans its Halloween season, you can't miss Mother's Blessing and Seasonal Splendor events. These events are about to start, so get ready! And Season 11 is expected to launch on December 9th!

Diablo 4 PTR 2.5.0 will bring a host of dramatic yet exciting changes, revising many fundamental aspects of the game, including armor and potions. As the pinnacle of the game, Mythic items are also receiving some buffs.

Knowing that not all Mythic items are useful, will the adjustments in Season 11 make some previously useless Mythic items useful again? Let's take a look at the core changes they've received in PTR.

Melted Heart Of Selig

• Change: Added an effect that increases your primary resource by 3% per point in your primary stat.

This is the most impactful item change of the season, as it grants all classes a mana shield-like effect, allowing you to treat your resources like a second health bar.

Since late-game characters typically have around 2000 primary stats, this represents a 6000% increase in the resource cap. Combined with the base resource attributes, your resource pool can easily reach tens of thousands of points. However, items will first use resources to absorb damage. You need to maximize resource generation and utilize out-of-combat resource recovery mechanics or immunities to keep the resources at a healthy level, or you will be very vulnerable.

Many of the percentage-based recovery and resource consumption effects listed in the patch notes have been capped to prevent them from being overpowered or completely incompatible with Melted Heart of Selig.

Ahavarion Spear Of Lycander

• Changes: Unchanged.

While it hasn't received any changes, it is a beneficiary of the Season 11 defense system changes. With the new defense system's uncapped resistances, the all-resistance and movement speed bonuses provided by Ahavarion Spear of Lycander have become more valuable.

Furthermore, its Lucky Shot recovery of 66% of primary resources modifier has not been nerfed. If your build relies on Lucky Shots, Melted Heart of Selig and Ahavarion Spear of Lycander will provide a next-level survivability boost. This item has great potential for speedrunning low-level The Pit or Torment IV, but may not be useful for high-level The Pit.

Shattered Vow

• Changes: Increased the duration of damage over time from 44% to 111%.

Shattered Vow acts as a direct damage multiplier, especially for spells that consume DoTs, with virtually no downside.

This significantly improves Spiritborn builds (such as Pestilent Swarm and Touch of Death). Barbarian builds with Rend or Bleeding may also consider using this item, as Barbarians have more weapon slots.

Tyrael's Might

• Changes: Updated the All Resistance attribute to +80 All Resistance, and changed the resistance percentage to Maximum Resistance.

Tyrael's Might is expected to become a top-tier defensive item. Combined with the new system, it significantly increases resilience to elemental damage. Furthermore, officials indicate that there will be stronger monsters, longer encounters, and a slower game process - all those will make this type of pure defensive item more valuable.

Andariel's Visage

• Changes: Removed the inherent poison resistance reduction and increased the maximum poison resistance to +666 poison resistance.

Andariel's Visage's exceptionally high poison resistance makes it nearly immune to poison damage, and its health-on-hit modifier has skyrocketed in value in Season 11, with the overall healing nerf. It provides powerful instant regeneration for multi-attack builds.

Furthermore, with the nerf to Masterworking, the attack speed and strong regeneration provided by Andariel's Visage are less than before, which will narrow the gap between it and Harlequin Crest.

Ring of Starless Skies

• Changes: Unchanged.

Due to its excellent and versatile stats (core skill damage, attack speed, critical strike chance, and resource cost reduction), it remains a top-tier pick. While Masterworking nerfs have reduced its absolute stat boost, its position remains strong.

Doombringer

• Changes: Unchanged.

The bonus health and damage reduction provided by Doombringer, along with its special Lucky Hit heal, are invaluable in the current heal-scarce meta. Doombringer is a solid choice for solving defensive problems, especially in hardcore modes or scenarios where survivability is crucial.

Heir Of Perdition

• Changes: Unchanged.

Heir of Perdition remains a top-tier helm. However, like Ring of Starless Skies, it has been impacted by Masterworking nerf, causing it to lose ground to other Diablo 4 mythic items.

Harlequin Crest

• Changes: Unchanged.

The damage reduction, + All Skill Levels, and armor provided by Harlequin Crest are all valid in Season 11. However, with the nerf to Masterworking, its cooldown reduction stat won't reach its previous maximum. For builds heavily reliant on cooldown reduction, it may revert from a game-changer to a very powerful item.

Shroud Of False Death

• Changes: Unchanged.

The +1 to all passive skills provided by Shroud of False Death is extremely powerful, typically providing a 50-70% damage increase and a host of utility and defensive stats.

While its resource generation and all-stat affixes synergize well with Melted Heart of Selig, some builds may opt for Tyrael's Might for ultimate defense in extremely challenging situations.

The Grandfather

• Changes: Unchanged.

The Grandfather grants a 100% increase in critical hit damage, but this effect requires 100% critical hit chance to fully function, which is more challenging given the increased difficulty of stacking critical hit chance in the new patch.

When a player's gear has reached its peak through Divine system and can no longer be improved through unique items, The Grandfather, a Diablo 4 item with excellent stats and no conflicts, may be the ultimate upgrade.

Nesecem, The Herald

• Changes: Unchanged.

While Nesecem, The Herald appears powerful, its performance is anything but. Its effect only marks one enemy, making it practically useless in combat. Furthermore, it's a two-handed weapon, requiring two slots, sacrificing significant damage to use it, making it practically unsuitable for Spiritborn builds. However, it's not entirely without value. If you're planning to buy Diablo 4 gold, selling it could net you hundreds of millions of gold, though it won't be as valuable as the other items.

Diablo 4 PTR 2.5.0 changes have successfully increased the value and usability of most Mythic items. While Nesecem, The Herald remains a minor drawback, overall, players will have more meaningful choices when building their gear, and you can test it out on PTR.
