Diablo Immortal is back at it again with another update. Easily the largest update we’ve seen post-launch, players will finally get to experience the Class Change mechanic, a new raid boss, new events, and a swathe of new legendary items. Some other great news for free-to-play players is that it will be possible to craft one random Legendary Gem per week using Fading Embers, thanks to the new cap. You can review the full Diablo Immortal patch notes for the July 20 update below.
We’ve also got a few changes regarding two Legendary gems, monster affixes, and Warband raid rewards. Collectors can also look forward to a new cosmetic set available at the in-game shop.
Diablo Immortal Patch Notes (July 20)
The Diablo Immortal patch notes for the July 20 update include:
- Class Change
- Hero’s Journey
- Adventurer’s Path Limited-time Event
- New Helliquary Boss
- Hungering Moon
- Amber Blades Cosmetic Set
- Feature Updates
- New Legendary Items
Class Change
As covered previously, Class Change is officially dropping in tomorrow’s patch. Players can freely swap between classes for free once per week and revert to the previous class for free. There are a few rules to Class Change:
- Class Change becomes available for a character beginning at level 35.
- You may change your class once every seven days and at no cost—there is also a one-time option to immediately revert to your previous class, skipping the seven-day waiting period. There are no current plans to allow players to purchase the ability to change classes more frequently.
- When you change to each class for the first time, you can set the appearance of your character and receive a full reset of your Paragon Trees.
- Upon changing to each class for the first time, you will be granted placeholder gear. The placeholder gear will have an equivalent rank to the previously equipped gear of your last class.
- All Clan, Warband and other social group affiliations will carry over.
- Some class-specific cosmetics and gear will not carry over when you change classes. All gear equipped to your previous class will be available in your inventory. Any cosmetics owned for a class will be retained on that class and will be available upon changing back to it.
Hero’s Journey
Hero’s Journey is a new set of tasks found in the Codex under the Achievements section. It’s designed to be an end-game experience that unlocks during the Frozen Tundra main questline. There’s a wide range of objectives and various rewards to be gained, including gold, Platinum, Aspirant’s Keys, Legendary Crests, and the Glorious Journey Portrait Frame.
Adventurer’s Path Limited-Time Event
A new event is also heading our way in the next patch. From July 20 to August 3 at 3 a.m. Server Time, players can complete Adventurer’s Path tasks to earn gold, dust, scraps, and more. Completing eight tasks gives 10 Aspirant’s keys, 16 gives the Adventurer’s Laurel Portrait, and 20 rewards one Legendary crest.
New Helliquary Boss
A brand new Helliquary boss is dropping yet again. Following up Vitaath’s release earlier this month, Gorgothra the Claimer is making its way into the Sanctuary on August 2. See if you have what it takes to slay her and seal her power. The third Wrathborne demon has petrification, venom, and serpentine strikes.
Hungering Moon
Hungering Moon is also making a comeback for a second time. Those who missed out on the previous event have another chance. Players can complete objectives to earn Moonslivers which can be traded for Blessings. Collect all the blessings and claim a bundle with a Legendary Crest and more.
Amber Blades Cosmetic Set
A new cosmetic set is making its way to the in-game shop. The Amber Blades are a desert gang aiming to control Shassar. The Shassar-themed Amber Blades cosmetics will be available to purchase via the in-game shop after the update.
