Diablo 4 Season 7: How To Welcome Next Season? - Witchcraft’s Addition And Quality Of Life Updates

On November 12, the developers of Diablo 4 series held a campfire chat, mainly communicating with players and announcing the content of the mid-term patch of Season 6. Although some information about Season 7 was revealed during the period, it was still very limited.

In the following week, Diablo 4 was in the middle of Season 6, and with the release of patch 2.0.5 and the holding of some festive in-game activities, including red-cloaked horror and welcome back gifts for Eternal players, this week was very lively.

However, since Season 7 is not far away, and in order to satisfy your curiosity, on November 21, the developers held another campfire chat, mainly announcing the main updates of Season 7 and patch 2.1 PTR.

Based on this, we will introduce you to the two main updates on patch 2.1 PTR.

1. Powers Of Witchcraft

Season 6 of Hatred Rising is still in progress and is expected to end in January and enter Season 7. But in order to present a better Season 7, the game developer will release patch 2.1 PTR on December 3 and last until December 10. In this PTR, you can not only test the new patch but also get to know the new Season 7 content for the first time.

Among all the new content, the introduction of powers of Witchcraft is the first. If you have experienced Diablo 4 Season 2, you will know that you can use Vampiric powers and the addition of powers of Witchcraft in Season 7 will make it a new “seasonal power” and a new helper for you to get a lot of Diablo 4 Gold.

How To Get Witchcraft?

To get Witchcraft first in Season 7, you first need to collect a new currency, Restless Rot, by defeating Headrotten. Then head to the altar and trade Restless Rot for Witchcraft.

As for how to equip Witchcraft, it’s actually similar to Sanguine Circle in Season 2. If you haven’t experienced Sanguine Circle, it doesn’t matter. You can just find an extra tab on the character menu to do it.

Build A Witchcraft Season Reputation Board

Once you have Witchcraft, you can continue to build a reputation board specifically for Witchcraft season, and Coven’s Favor will drop from Whispers. On top of that, you will earn Resplendent Sparks again by completing Witchcraft season reputation board, helping you craft Mythic Uniques.

In addition, Whispers will also become more intense as the tree hunts for Headrotten. Headhunts will spawn in a similar area takeover style to Helltides, and feature all new Whispers activities, as well as some other activities you are familiar with. Completing these Whispers activities will give you a chance to encounter a Headrotten boss. Sending the heads of the boss to Tree of Whispers will also earn your Occult gems.

What Are Occult Gems?

As an item in Season 7, Occult gems will have a unique effect on the game and can be used to embed in item slots, thus providing you with some combat benefits. It is also worth noting that exploring Forgotten Altars in various dungeons in Sanctuary can unlock new powers. In fact, more than 20 new powers will be added in Season 7.

2. Quality Of Life Updates

Before Diablo 4 2.1 version PTR, the game developer revealed not only Armory mechanism that makes it easier to save and exchange equipment, as well as a series of other changes in the campfire chat on November 21, but also many quality of life changes. The most important of these is the change of Paragon Board.

Paragon Board Season 7 Update

According to the latest news, Paragon Board in Season 7 will allow you to customize the build you need to use after reaching the game level cap. And starting from the next season, all Paragon experience you earn throughout the season will be added to your Eternal Realm progress.

According to the development team, this Paragon experience migration mechanism will give you the opportunity to obtain rewards in Eternal Realm without having to worry about seasonal grinding.

Changes To Ancestral Legendary Items

In the future, the drop rate of Ancestral Legendary items will also be greatly increased in all levels of Diablo 4’s new Torment difficulty system. Higher drop rates can not only improve the level of game activities but also will not affect the important position of Ancestral Legendary items in the game.

In addition, starting from Season 7, Ancestral Legendary items will definitely appear at the highest end of their Legendary Aspect level.

Other Changes And Updates

Other quality of life changes mainly include a redesigned system for unique power rolls, a gem fragment converter that can create Legendary items, and updates to class tasks.

Of course, the above content is only part of the content of Season 7 and the 2.1 version PTR update. I believe that with the launch of both in the future, you will experience a more exciting Season 7.
