Buy Diablo 4 Items

Reputation is a core mechanism in Diablo 4. Although it will change its name and unlock and obtain methods according to the change of seasons, its existence is always to help you accumulate Reputation to get more precious rewards in the new season, such as skill points, Paragon points, potion charges and more.

In the recently launched Diablo 4 Season 8, the reputation system is named Unveiler’s Oath Reputation. It is combined with the new questline of the season to start the journey of the new season for you, encouraging you to earn Diablo 4 Gold and rare unique items and Resplendent Spark by actively participating in various new tasks and events in Season 8. Based on this, we will introduce you in detail how Unveiler’s Oath Reputation works and its specific rewards.

How To Unlock Reputation System?

As one of the main components of Diablo 4 Season 8, the reputation system is closely related to the main questline of Season 8. The new season NPCs associated with this questline are retired Vizjerei mage Sayeena, and Jarius, who claims to be a knight of Cathedral of Light. You need to join them and start your new season adventure around the theme of Season 8, “Belial’s Return” and the related Apparition Incursions event.

To do this, first you must make sure you have completed all Diablo 4 pre-campaign content and created a Season 8 character, then go to Kyovashad Waypoint and talk to the strange NPC here to start and gradually complete Lord of Lies questline to unlock Unveiler’s Oath Reputation.

It is necessary to remind you in advance that after unlocking the reputation system and earning points for it, you can collect the corresponding reputation rewards near Tarsarak waypoint in Kehjistan. If you want to keep track of your current reputation level at any time, click on the notice board to view the reputation rank UI.

How To Improve Reputation Rank?

For Season 8, the main gameplay and innovation is to earn boss power by killing each boss, and participate in the new seasonal event Apparition Incursions. Fortunately, the way to earn Unveiler’s Oath Reputation points to upgrade levels is also based on these two contents.

Farming S8 Bosses

In fact, farming bosses have always been the core gameplay of Diablo 4, especially when you enter the endgame stage, and this will become your main source of gold and new gear. The bosses in Season 8 can not only provide you with the boss power as a combat aid, but also their own ladder mechanism has changed.

The past endgame bosses in Diablo 4 were changed to lair bosses in Season 8. You no longer need to collect summoning materials for them. You can challenge them as long as you unlock Torment difficulty. But correspondingly, you need to collect the lair keys corresponding to each boss in order to open their hoards after killing them to take away the loot.

There are 24 bosses in Diablo 4 Season 8. Because of their different challenge difficulties, the corresponding levels are also different. From high to low, they are:

Legendary Boss:

• Andariel
• Belial
• Duriel
• Harbinger of Hatred
• Lilith

Rare Boss:

• Beast in the Ice
• Echo of Varshan
• Grigoire
• Lord Zir
• Urivar
• Ashava
• Avarice
• Wandering Death

Magic Boss:

• 10 bosses of Apparition Incursions

Completing Apparition Incursions Event

As we have introduced, there will be 10 magic-level Apparition bosses in Apparition Incursions, as well as a Belial’s lesser former. Although these enemies are easier to deal with than other main bosses, they provide a lot of benefits, not only reputation points, but also Apparition boss power and special currency Spectral Ash that can increase the power level of all bosses.

This event works similarly to Headhunts in Season 7, and will spawn periodically throughout Season 8 in various locations in Sanctuary. Entering an Apparition Incursion event and killing the normal enemies will spawn two magic Apparition bosses and a lesser Apparition of Belial. Killing them will complete the event and earn you the rewards.

Unveiler’s Oath Reputation Rewards

There are 18 reward levels in this reputation system. Every time you accumulate a certain number of points and reach the corresponding level, you will receive corresponding rewards, including items and crafting materials, etc. The most valuable rank 18 cache even contains a Resplendent Spark. Additionally, as you level up your reputation, you’ll unlock additional seasonal story quests and unique items for your class, as follows:

Rank 1-5

• Rank 1: Currency Cache
• Rank 2: Spectral Cache
• Rank 3: Buried Hope
• Rank 4: Currency Cache
• Rank 5: Masked Truths

Rank 6-10

• Rank 6: Spectral Cache
• Rank 7: Chasing Lies
• Rank 8: Currency Cache
• Rank 9: The Lord of Lies
• Rank 10: Lair Cache

Rank 11-15

• Rank 11: Masterworking Cache
• Rank 12: Mystery Archetype Cache
• Rank 13: Lair Cache
• Rank 14: Masterworking Cache
• Rank 15: Mystery Greater Archetype Cache

Rank 16-18

• Rank 16: Greater Lair Cache
• Rank 17: Masterworking Cache
• Rank 18: Resplendent Cache

In order to get all the reputation rewards as soon as possible, it is recommended that you speed up your Diablo 4 Season 8 farming progress from now on! Good luck!

Diablo 4 Season 8 is now officially online, and everything is going according to the established schedule. Although there are some minor bugs such as Reliquaries’ mechanism failing to issue rewards normally, it does not affect your experience of the new season as a whole.

Therefore, the top priority for you is to adapt to the rhythm of the new season as soon as possible and complete all the pre-tasks that are important for promoting the game progress, such as A Deceitful Incursion quest.

This quest is actually part of Season 8 seasonal event Apparition Incursion, and from the perspective of the seasonal plot, this event is closely related to the ultimate boss of this season, Belial - the small bosses in Apparition Incursion are all minions of Belial. Based on this, we will bring you a guide to A Deceitful Incursion quest based on the introduction of Apparition Incursion.

A Deceitful Incursion Quest

Think of this quest as a prequel to Apparition Incursion event, as it shows you how these Apparition Incursions work, so completing it will help you better understand the new seasonal mechanics and events.

How To Complete This Quest?

After you begin your Season 8 journey, Sayeena will tell you that she has found some rather unsettling apparitions near the eastern end of Fractured Peaks. You will then need to follow the coordinates she provides to the corresponding waypoint and clear out the enemies after entering the newly revealed dungeon.

The first enemy to attack you inside the dungeon will be Apparition of Kirma. A huge beast with multiple AOE attacks and powerful melee attacks, Kirma is very dangerous, so attack it while keeping as much distance as possible. It is recommended that you use the unstoppable movement skill if possible to get rid of any stun effects caused by Kirma, and continue to attack it until it dies. Then return to Kyovashad and speak to Sayeena again to complete A Deceitful Incursion quest.

What Is Apparition Incursion?

It’s no surprise that most of the seasonal highlights of Season Of Belial’s Return revolve around the concept of “bosses”, both new bosses and boss powers. As a seasonal event, Apparition Incursion is a bit like a boss mode. Compared to other endgame content, this event is easier to complete, but it is also rich, so it is also the best source of early boss powers and Diablo 4 Gold for you.

From a story perspective, in the early seasons of Diablo 4, the main villain Lilith has died, and Apparition enemies or bosses are low-level demons who have taken over some of Lilith’s evil purposes. The overall structure of Apparition Incursion is similar to Legion event, but the difference is that it will drop special seasonal currency and reputation for you through Sayeena’s reward track after you complete the event.

How To Start And Play Apparition Incursion?

Apparition Incursions are similar to Helltides in that they start to spawn randomly on the map after you enter Season 8, every 5 minutes, and there are no additional prerequisites for participating in Apparition Incursions. So it’s not hard to find and participate in these events, and you can do it with your teammates at any time.

After entering the current Apparition Incursion event, you will encounter special enemies with Belial’s green mark on their bodies in the corresponding area. Killing them can fill the progress bar corresponding to the event. When the progress bar is filled, an Apparition boss will appear. Killing him will gain the corresponding boss power.

It is worth noting that during the event, a green symbol called Betraying Eye will appear on the ground. Interacting with this symbol will cause more ordinary Apparition enemies to spawn near you, thereby filling the event progress bar faster to summon the boss.

Each separate Apparition Incursion event will have 2 random Apparition bosses and a Belial’s minion form encounter. These fights are all difficult, and each Apparition boss has a unique attack pattern, so you must be well prepared to deal with them immediately after you have dealt with the normal enemies.

After killing Apparition boss and Belial’s minion form, in addition to the relevant boss power, you will also receive an event chest, which can be opened to obtain seasonal currency called Spectral Ash. This currency can upgrade the boss power you have from level 1 to the maximum level 20, and can only be dropped through Apparition Incursion event and A Deceitful Incursion quest. The amount of Spectral Ash required to upgrade the power of bosses of different rarities is as follows:

Magic Boss Powers:

• Rank 1-2: 15 Spectral Ash
• Ranks 3-6: 30 Spectral Ash
• Ranks 7-11: 60 Spectral Ash
• Ranks 12-16: 120 Spectral Ash
• Ranks 17-20: 240 Spectral Ash

Rare Boss Powers:

• Rank 1-2: 20 Spectral Ash
• Ranks 3-6: 40 Spectral Ash
• Ranks 7-11: 80 Spectral Ash
• Ranks 12-16: 160 Spectral Ash
• Ranks 17-20: 320 Spectral Ash

Legendary Boss Powers:

• Rank 1-2: 25 Spectral Ash
• Ranks 3-6: 50 Spectral Ash
• Ranks 7-11: 100 Spectral Ash
• Ranks 12-16: 200 Spectral Ash
• Ranks 17-20: 400 Spectral Ash

After understanding the above content, if you have already created your Season 8 character, please start completing A Deceitful Incursion quest and Apparition Incursion event immediately! I wish you all the best!

In the anticipation of you and countless Diablo 4 players, Season 8 is finally online! No doubt, although you may want to quickly enter the endgame stage to experience the more exciting and difficult boss battles at the beginning, you must complete all the pre-tasks before that.

However, it is always a good thing to prepare in advance. Knowing some knowledge about dealing with boss battles in the preparation stage can not only help you complete the battle faster when you officially deal with the boss, but also minimize the possible losses - after all, Season 8 has so many powerful bosses that you need to defeat!

Based on this, among all the 24 bosses in Season 8, this time we will introduce you to some information about Urivar and Harbinger of Hatred. The special thing about these two bosses is that they first appeared in DLC Vessel of Hatred. Considering that you may be exposed to them for the first time because of Season 8, additional introduction is necessary.

Where To Find Urivar?

This boss is an initiate lair boss in Season 8. I believe you have learned from various information that you no longer need to prepare summoning materials to fight lair bosses (endgame bosses) in Diablo 4, so you can go directly to Fields of Judgement to find this boss after unlocking Torment difficulty.

The entrance to Fields of Judgement is located in Teganze Plateau subzone of Nahantu, close to Kichuk Waypoint and Stronghold in the far east. You can use this as a sign to observe and find the boss’s location.

Urivar Lair Keys

Yes, although summoning materials are no longer required, you must prepare the corresponding lair keys for each boss in Season 8 to open their respective hoard chests, otherwise you will not be able to get Diablo 4 Gold and other loot you deserve even if you win the battle.

For Urivar, the corresponding lair keys are 4 Judicator’s Masks, which can be farmed in many open-world content, including Helltides, World bosses, or Whispers. In addition, Stygian Stone will drop after defeating any initiate lair boss, which can be converted into the lair keys required to open greater lair boss hoards.

All Urivar Loot

This should be the content you care about most! In addition to the regular gold or XP drops, unique and mythic unique items are the most important part of boss loot. It is worth noting that starting from Season 8, for each additional party member, your chance of getting additional unique items after defeating the lair boss will increase by 33% - that is, if your team has a 4-person party, this chance can be up to 100%.

Uniques:

• Barbarian: Twin Strikes, Rage of Harrogath, Battle Trance, The Butcher’s Cleaver, Unbroken Chain
• Druid: Earthbreaker, Insatiable Fury, Hunter’s Zenith, Waxing Gibbous, The Butcher’s Cleaver
• Necromancer: Ebonpiercer, Howl from Below, Greaves of the Empty Tomb, The Butcher’s Cleaver, Path of Trag’Oul
• Rogue: Saboteur’s Signet, Word of Hakan, Grasp of Shadow, Shroud of Khanduras
• Sorcerer: Flameweaver, Staff of Lam Esen, Iceheart Brais, Axial Conduit
• Spiritborn: Protection of the Prime, Peacemonger’s Signet, Ring of the Midnight Sun, Loyalty’s Mantle
• General: Penitent Greaves

Mythic Uniques:

• Barbarian: The Grandfather
• Druid: Ahavarion, Spear of Lycander
• Necromancer: The Grandfather
• Sorcerer: Ahavarion, Spear of Lycander
• Spiritborn: Nesekem, the Herald
• General: Doombringer, Melted Heart of Selig, Andariel’s Visage, Harlequin Crest, Ring of Starless Skies, Tyrael’s Might, Heir of Perdition, Shroud of False Death, Shattered Vow

Where To Find Harbinger Of Hatred?

Like Urivar, Harbinger of Hatred can be found in Harbinger’s Den at any level of Torment difficulty after unlocking Torment difficulty. This location is located in Lingering Hatred subzone of Nahantu, head northwest when you reach Kurast Bazaar.

Harbinger Of Hatred Lair Keys

The lair keys required to open the boss’ hoard chest are 4 Abhorrent Hearts. Interestingly, this item is mainly dropped by defeating Urivar. Of course, it should also be possible to exchange it with enough Stygian Stone, as Harbinger of Hatred is a greater lair boss.

It is worth noting that after opening Harbinger of Hatred’s hoard chest, a 20-second timer will appear. When this timer expires, a Summoning Altar or Belial’s lesser form will reappear. Defeating Belial’s lesser form will give you a chance to get additional loot, as well as Betrayer’s Husk, which can open Belial’s hoard in Palace of the Deceiver.

All Harbinger Of Hatred Loot

In terms of loot, Harbinger of Hatred has basically the same basic settings as Urivar, including an increased drop rate for unique and mythic unique items provided by party members. The specific contents are as follows:

Uniques:

• Barbarian: Twin Strikes, Rage of Harrogath, Battle Trance, The Butcher’s Cleaver, Unbroken Chain
• Druid: Earthbreaker, Insatiable Fury, Hunter’s Zenith, Waxing Gibbous, The Butcher’s Cleaver
• Necromancer: Ebonpiercer, Howl from Below, Greaves of the Empty Tomb, The Butcher’s Cleaver, Path of Trag’Oul
• Rogue: Saboteur’s Signet, Word of Hakan, Grasp of Shadow, Shroud of Khanduras
• Sorcerer: Flameweaver, Staff of Lam Esen, Iceheart Brais, Axial Conduit
• Spiritborn: Protection of the Prime, Peacemonger’s Signet, Ring of the Midnight Sun, Loyalty’s Mantle
• General: Penitent Greaves

Mythic Uniques:

• Barbarian: The Grandfather
• Druid: Ahavarion, Spear of Lycander
• Necromancer: The Grandfather
• Sorcerer: Ahavarion, Spear of Lycander
• Spiritborn: Nesekem, the Herald
• General: Doombringer, Melted Heart of Selig, Andariel’s Visage, Harlequin Crest, Ring of Starless Skies, Tyrael’s Might, Heir of Perdition, Shroud of False Death, Shattered Vow

I hope the above content can provide you with the necessary help when you officially start the two boss battles. At the same time, I wish you all the best in Diablo 4 Season 8! Have fun!

We all know that Diablo 4 Season 8 is a seasonal journey centered around the boss mechanic, whether it is the return of Belial, the Lord of Lies, or the new Boss Powers, it proves that these powerful bosses are the core theme you want to pursue this season.

However, Diablo 4’s past seasonal bosses also have their own characteristics, and what changes and improvements have appeared in these bosses in Season 8 that are worth players’ time to challenge them repeatedly? Here, we will discuss these changes one by one, whether it is boss summons, loot, and overall quality of life, so that you are fully prepared to fight these bosses when you enter Diablo 4 Season 8: Belial’s Return.

Boss Summons

First of all, you can now teleport to the boss level immediately without having to run there from town. This slight change will make farming boss changes more streamlined. After all, no one is willing to spend a lot of time on repeated journeys.

Secondly, summoning bosses will be completely free. You can simply enter the boss’s lair, then go to Boss Summoning Altar and click on it to summon the boss, without any boss summoning materials.

The only exception is Uber Belial, you must complete the season questline to unlock Belial’s lair, but other than that, even Belial’s summoning is completely free.

The purpose of this change is to save you from wasting precious Diablo 4 Gold and materials to summon a boss you can’t kill. And this brings us to our third point.

In order to get loot from the boss you kill, you must spend a certain number of specific materials, namely Lair Boss Keys, on Hoard chest that appears after the boss dies in order to open the treasure chest and get the loot.

Loot Unlock

And the loot you can get is linked to the materials you spend. This means that if you spend materials to open a Hoard chest, even if there are players in your party who killed the boss with you, as long as they didn’t spend materials to open the chest, they will not receive the loot. Only those who actually spend materials will receive the loot, and this change is intended to prevent lazy teammates.

So even if someone without any materials joins your party, they can’t get the loot without spending their own materials. However, in Season 8, materials can still be traded, and unique items can also be traded. We can imagine that some rare materials will be sold at sky-high prices in the late game, so hoarding materials in time may bring you a lot of Diablo 4 Gold!

Let’s talk about the cost of farming these bosses and looting all the rewards. Lair Boss ladder in Season 8 is divided into three difficulty levels: Initiate, Greater, and Exalted. The higher the difficulty of the challenge, the higher the quality of the loot dropped. Currently, the material costs of bosses of different levels have been unified, which are:

• Initiate: 12
• Greater: 3
• Exalted: 2

Previously, summoning different bosses mostly required multiple different types of materials, but now they only need one, which greatly improves the efficiency of farming these bosses. In addition, all materials can be stacked up to 99 types, which makes inventory management much easier. The specific Lair Boss Keys and materials required for Hoard chests dropped by these bosses are as follows:

• Varshan Lair Keys: Malignant Heart x12
• Grigoire Lair Keys: Living Steel x12
• Beast in the Ice Lair Keys: Distilled Fear x12
• Lord Zir Lair Keys: Exquisite Blood x12
• Urivar Lair Keys: Judicator’s Mask x12
• Duriel Lair Keys: Shard of Agony x3
• Andariel Lair Keys: Pincushioned Doll x3
• Harbinger of Hatred Lair Keys: Abhorrent Heart x3
• Belial Lair Keys: Betrayer’s Husk x2

Mini Belial & Uber Belial

Now let’s continue this topic, because the boss changes are not over yet, there are two new bosses in Season 8 that deserve our attention, they are: Mini Belial and Uber Belial.

After you kill any Initiate and Greater Boss, there is a chance that Mini Belial will appear. Based on Season 8 PTR, the chance is about 20%-30%.

It is important to note that Belial will also only drop loot for the player who opened his Hoard. So if two players in your party do not have their Hoard open, and only the third player spends materials to open Hoard, and this player who opens Hoard also summons Mini Belial, then only the person who opened Hoard will get loot from Mini Belial, and no one else will.

So, this means that you can’t just focus on leveling up your character to kill the boss, it is also very important to properly farm these Lair Boss Keys. After all, you don’t want to get nothing after working so hard to defeat the boss!

Regarding the loot table, Mini Belial will drop loot from the same loot table as the boss that was just killed, so if you summon Mini Belial, the loot you just got from killing the boss will be doubled.

Additionally, Mini Belial will drop Betrayer’s Husks, which are key ingredients for looting Uber Belial’s loot chests.

Uber Belial is Pinnacle boss in Season 8. You’ll need to progress the seasonal questline to a certain point before you can summon him, but you can also summon him for free. When you defeat him, you’ll need to spend two Betrayer’s Husks to open his Hoard.

When you open Uber Belial’s Hoard, you’ll be able to freely choose which boss’ loot table you want to take loot from. This means that in addition to Uber Belial being guaranteed to drop at least two Ancestral Unique items, you can also target farming specific bosses, and more importantly, Uber Belial has the highest chance of dropping Mythic Unique items in the game, and these two things alone make Uber Belial a very desirable farming target in Season 8.

These are the major changes made to seasonal bosses in Diablo 4 Season 8. Honestly, as a boss season, these changes make our farming process easier, but unlocking these boss loot still requires repeated farming materials, so do these changes still make sense?
