Diablo 3 Season 6 and Patch 2.4.1

[Jan]

The new season of Diablo 3 is set to start on the EU servers tomorrow at 16:00 SA time (17:00 CEST), so I hope you all have an early day booked.

Just in time for Worker's Day weekend too!

Patch 2.4.1



It looks like the new patch is buffing a tonne of items, and fixing a few issues. Full patch notes on Battle.net. Notable changes include:

Monster: The Merciless Witch (Uber Maghda)
-- Removed her shields in both the Realm of Regret and Realm of Fright
-- Significantly increased her health in the Realm of Regret

Greater Rifts
-- The amount of incoming damage in Greater Rift 70 and above has been reduced
-- The amount of Experience granted in Greater Rift 70 and above has been reduced
-- The cost required to empower, and gold awarded by a Greater Rift above rank 70 has been reduced, but the ratio of gold earned to empower cost remains the same
-- Fixed an issue that caused Urshi to always introduce herself to players

Bounties
-- In the event that both Act III and Act IV bounties are complete, the bonus act will now always be turned in first

Items
-- Legendary potions can now be salvaged and will yield a Forgotten Soul

Season journey

Blizzard has a first look of the Season 6 journey up on Battle.net. A first look of the Season 6 rewards is also available.

Haedrig's Gift



Haedrig's Gift gives you the items from a single set for completing certain objectives. As in the previous season, there are 3 objectives, each giving you 2-3 set items when you complete them.

You can only earn one full class set per season.

The objectives for Season 6 are:

• Chapter III: Reach Level 70
• Chapter IV: Defeat Izual at level 70 on Torment II or higher
• Chapter IV: Complete a Greater Rift Level 20 solo.

Completing them will give you the following set pieces, depending on the class you claim the reward with.

• Barbarian: Legacy of Raekor
• Crusader: Armor of Akkhan
• Demon Hunter: Embodiment of the Marauder
• Monk: Inna's Reach
• Witch Doctor: Zunimassa's Haunt
• Wizard: Delsere's Magnum Opus

Extra Stash Tab



Beginning in Season 5, players could earn an extra tab in their stash by completing the Conqueror tier in the Season journey. In Season 6, this will require the following:

• Complete a Torment X Nephalem Rift in under 4 minutes
• Level 3 Legendary Gems to Rank 55 or highter
• Complete any two Conquests
• Kill Rakanoth in under 15 seconds on Torment X
• Slay Greed on Torment X
• Clear Greater Rift 60 Solo

Conquests

Blizzard provided the following handy graphic showing all the conquests. Since you need to complete two of them to get the stash tab, you might want to plan which ones to aim for so long.



Cosmetic items

Patch 2.4.1 also comes with a stack of difficult-to-obtain cosmetic items, while the Season journey also contains the usual suspects: transmogs for the Conqueror's set, a new portrait frame, and a new pennant.

For more details, see the posts on Battle.net for Season 6 rewards, and the Patch 2.4.1 cosmetic items preview.

I was thinking of switching to Wizard as my main for this season, but after messing around on the PTR and reading the patch notes I've decided to stick with my Monk.

Really hope they fixed the Earth Ally health drop issue this time, like they promised.

Stoked to see they fixed Uber Maghda, legendary potion salvage, and Urshi introducing herself every. single. time.

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/W.../hero/77447409

And even tho the slow time build is the season build I have chosen to go for the archon build rather. I just need ancient parthon defenders then my set is complete Then its the fun to upgrade all the pieces to ancient

Awesome. Thanks to the help of a Witch Doctor friend who is already TX viable, I'm at Paragon 270: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/E.../hero/59953111

Nice! I'm still very far from having the gear I need for my build :-( I'm even using this season's set (Inna's)! Getting there, though. Got a set of Focus & Restraint much earlier than in previous seasons.

Tried out Barb for the first time. I got really lucky on drops and can already do two player Torment V easily while carrying.

The witch doctors are OP this season, we have one with us who just waltzes thru it all with a blindfold on :P But yea I should be able to run T8 comfortably tonight, last night I was coasting T5. Our group even did a GR47 or 48 with time to spare It is such fun again, plus I have gotten 2 of the new pets already. We are still farming them as well

Where do the pets and wings drop?

Where do the pets and wings drop?

I was also wondering so did some searching. Here's the low-down.

New Wings:
Cosmic wings from a purple unicorn in Whimsydale (new mob, Princess Liliah)
Falcon wings - found in a "Mysterious Chest" in Gardens of Hope, 1st tier
Wings of Kokabiel - Uber Magdha
Lord Culsu's wings - Regular Magdha in Alcarnus
Osseous grasp - Adria
Dark Bat - Rift Guardian Tethrys

New pets drop from Menagerist, Napper of Pets Goblin. He appears exclusively in Adventure Mode Open world (Bounties). Not in rifts.

Edit: List of all the cosmetic stuff with locations https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...ring&sle=true#

Thanks for doing the work.

On the cosmetic wings...

I'm reading conflicting reports, but apparently all but 2 were removed before patch 2.4.1 went live. The intent was to keep wings "special," since they were previously only available as a CE/pre-order bonus and for meta-achievements.

Ones still obtainable is:
Cosmic wings from a purple unicorn in Whimsydale (new mob, Princess Liliah)
Falcon wings - found in a "Mysterious Chest" in Gardens of Hope, 1st tier

Both "sources" are low spawn chance, 100% drop chance. So if you find one, invite your friends me before opening/killing
