Season 9 is definitely the season of the Nightmare Dungeon. The rework of the activity not only brings the Horadric Strongroom mini-dungeons into NMDs and strings them together into Escalating Nightmares, but there’s also new affixes that offer big rewards!
The new affixes are different from the existing ones, as they’re purely beneficial to the player. We have reward-specific affixes that offer different types of currency or gear, as well as buffs to the dungeon itself, like more shrine spawns, golden goblins, and more experience, including XP wells! Let’s take a look:
Affix Types
Horadric Reserves
- Spawns in loot chests with specialized rewards.
- Rewards Gem Fragments, Gold, Obols, Seasonal Currency, Resources.
Equipment Delve
