Ring in the New Year with Feature Updates
A new dawn breaks across hallowed ground, adventurer.
Since our last content update, players explored the Southern Dreadlands, summoned Ordinary and Aberrant Familiars, and pursued 3 new Legendary Gems, amongst many other spoils. This content update sees the return of several limited-time events, plus a handful of updates to different features across Sanctuary.
As with previous content updates, there will be server maintenance starting on January 3, from 4 p.m.–6 p.m. PST for Oceania, China, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe servers, and on January 4, from 12 a.m.–2 a.m. PST for servers in the Americas. After the maintenance has concluded, all items mentioned below will be live—specific dates for any content going live afterward are provided below.

A true warrior isn’t measured by their title but by their feats. Add to your accolades from January 4, 3 a.m.–January 12, 2:59 a.m. server time by completing Daily and Challenge tasks from the Trials of the Warrior event. Players can either complete Bounties or slay Elite monsters to earn treasures befitting their valor.

Trial of the Hordes
You may be experienced, but emerging victorious from the Trial of the Hordes is the true mark of a champion. From January 5, 3 a.m. to January 12, 2:59 a.m. go head-to-head against another player while earning rewards and climbing your way through the event’s Ranks. Each player has an enclosed lane in which broods of demons will flood in waves—your goal is to cull the demons from Hell with steadfast dedication.

Hungering Moon
Feeling underfed, the moon demands sustenance, providing you with an upcoming opportunity to sate its seemingly endless appetite for blood!
The moonlit path you’ll take to heed your lunar overlord’s howl for sustenance is ready to be travelled. Players can complete up to three tasks a day between January 6, 3 a.m.–January 13, 2:59 a.m. server time. For more information about Hungering Moon, please visit this article.
Wild Brawl
Enlist your most trusted companions and outlast enemy teams in the Wild Brawl event. In this unique, limited time PVP event from January 12, 3 a.m. to January 19, 2:59 a.m. server time, players start at Level 1, work together in teams of 6 to explore an expansive map, and endure to become the last surviving team. Equip discovered gear, gain experience to strengthen your power, and slay everything in sight to win the battle. This arena style game mode ends when one team has outlasted the others to make their eternal mark on Sanctuary. For more information about Wild Brawl, please visit this article.
All Clans on Deck
The armies of the Burning Hells are mustering their forces for a ploy, most assuredly of nefarious intent. You must rally your banner, adventurer—call upon your Clan for aid to beat back the tide of darkness! From January 13, 3 a.m. to January 20, 2:59 a.m. server time, Sanctuary will need All Clans on Deck. For more information about this event and its rewards, visit this article.
Feature Updates
Essence Transfer While Changing Gear
We are introducing a new Gear Transfer menu where you can preview what is being transferred to your new item. If you’ve already unlocked the Essence Transfer feature, you’ll automatically have access to this preview feature.
Developer’s Note: We wanted to include this feature to allow players to quickly use a better item after earning it even if it doesn’t have their preferred stats. Our goal is to help you earn better items and reduce the amount of visits made to vendors.
Increased Stash Tabs with Boon of Plenty
For Players that seek the rewards from the Boon of Plenty, basking in the glow of these rewards will now grant an additional Stash tab. If you stop using the Boon of Plenty after accessing it, your items located within will be available in a separate stash that players can access for 30 days giving them time to retrieve these items.
Battlegrounds Rank Increase Improvements
Based off player feedback, we’ve decided to change the scoring for matches played at the Bronze rank to help you rank up more quickly. Even if you lose a Battleground match while at the Bronze rank, you’ll still receive some points.
Angmet’s Conflagration Set Bonus Changes
The Item set bonus for Angmet’s Conflagration Ignite Fire can trigger almost endlessly, activated by damage-over-time effects from Gems and other items. To avoid the set bonus triggering endlessly, we are changing the Set bonus from Ignite Fire to now only trigger from skills and basic attacks.
Self-damaging Skills
Any skills that can deal damage to their caster will no longer interrupt the player when summoning a town portal or interacting with an object.
Crusader’s Draw and Quarter
Players will no longer dismount if the Draw and Quarter skill is activated while mounted—the mounted duration will refresh.
