A new Season-themed War Plan tree is coming in Season 16, allowing players to customize their rewards and activities for the season.
Players can choose between earning more Seasonal Reputation, Currency, Obols, etc.
There are four paths that can be taken in the tree:
- Curious Addition: Modifies the Purveyor of Curiosities, granting more loot and more expensive options
- Merchant of Mystery: Adds a Merchant selling Caches for Forgotten Souls/Runes/Gems
- Scent of Gold: Increases gold and experience earned
- Trash for Treasure: Modifies the Alchemist and grants additional Obducite and Scrolls of Restoration
Power Your Season with Tyrael’s Boons
Starting with Season 16, a new Season-themed War Plans tree called Tyrael’s Boons allows you to tailor your War Plans rewards and activities for that season. For example, you’ll have season-specific choices such as gaining more Seasonal reputation or currency, or more generalized perks such as reducing Obols costs at the Purveyor of Curiosities. All Seasonal players can access Tyrael’s Boons; owning the Lord of Hatred expansion is not required.
You can earn up to 132 points, enough to choose up to 4 of 6 available selections within the four available paths.
In Season 16, the four paths are as follows:
- Curious Addition: Modifies the Purveyor of Curiosities to increase chances for a second item, and offer either new item types or improve the chances for higher-quality items. You can also select an options to make the Purveyor far more expensive, but increase the likelihood of getting Ancestrals.
- Merchant of Mystery: Adds a new merchant at Torment difficulty selling caches for Forgotten Souls. Invest points to increase the chances of Ancestral Caches. Select a path to buy caches with Runes or Gems or increase the amount and quality of Ancestral Caches on offer.
- Scent of Gold: Increase the amount of gold and experience you get. One path also increases the number of Horadric Cube materials and Gem Fragments you find, and the other improves monster drops of Gold and Gems. You can also increase your chances of finding a Legendary.
- Trash for Treasure: Transmuting costs at the Alchemist are reduced, and you can choose to invest in a better chance for Forgotten Souls. The first path gives more Obducite and Scrolls of Restoration, and the other gives monsters a chance to drop more Obducite and Salvage. At the end, salvaging Ancestral Items gives a chance to grant a Scroll of Restoration. It also opens a new Horadric Cube recipe, Greater Temper, which upgrades the Tempered Affix on an item to a Greater Affix for the cost of 30 Scrolls of Restoration and 1,000 Obducite.
You can unassign points in Tyrael’s Boons for 5,000,000 gold per point.
The Tyrael’s Boons tree does not replace Seasonal Blessings. Season Blessings will become a static system with the same five Blessings on offer each time. Together, these combine a solid foundation of reliable perks to personalize your journey.
