In the dark and treacherous world of Sanctuary, love takes on a... bloodier hue. This year, Diablo Immortal introduces the Feast of Valenti, a limited-time event running from February 12 to March 12, where players can engage in demon-slaying festivities to earn unique rewards.
Who is Valenti?
Valenti is a powerful spirit revered by some inhabitants of Sanctuary. Known for granting one's deepest desires in exchange for grisly offerings, her influence peaks on her name day. While traditionally associated with wishes for love, many seek her favor for various desires, often building secluded altars adorned with fresh hearts to express their devotion.
How to Participate in the Feast
During the event, players are tasked with eliminating Hell's demons across various limited-time events and the Wilderness to collect Bloody Hearts. Accumulating these tokens of affection can lead to rewards such as Telluric Pearls, One-Star Legendary Gems, and Legendary items. Remember, in this season, hearts are both a symbol of love and a valuable commodity.
Events Offering Bloody Hearts
Engage in the following limited-time events to gather Bloody Hearts:
- Trial of the Hordes: Face waves of enemies to test your endurance.
- Survivor’s Bane: Survive challenging scenarios designed to push your limits.
- Conqueror: Demonstrate your prowess by conquering formidable foes.
- Wild Brawl: Engage in chaotic battles where only the strongest prevail.
- Fractured Plane: Navigate through fragmented realities teeming with danger.
- Alley of Blood: Battle through narrow passages filled with adversaries.
Each event provides an opportunity to collect Bloody Hearts and earn Valenti's favor.
Season 36 Battle Pass: Amberclad
Coinciding with the Feast of Valenti, the Season 36 Battle Pass: Amberclad launches on February 13. This pass offers 40 ranks of rewards, including Crests, Hilts, and Legendary Gems. Players have until March 13 to progress through the ranks and claim these treasures.
Exclusion Legendary Gem Drop Pool
From February 13 to February 26, players can exclude specific Five-Star Legendary Gems from their drop pool, thereby increasing the drop rates for other Legendary Gems. This feature allows for more targeted farming of desired gems.
