Season 5 Overview
Season 5 brings a fresh narrative to Sanctuary, where new threats arise, allegiances shift, and unexpected allies emerge. The PTR introduces a new Questline set after the Main Questline's events, accessible on both Seasonal and Eternal Realms. This Questline will remain in the Eternal Realm even after Season 5 concludes.
Getting Started: The New Questline
Travel to Hawezar in World Tier III to investigate a disturbance among the locals. Completing this Questline will unlock the Infernal Hordes, the new gameplay feature for Season 5. Remember, you only need to complete this Quest once per account.
Infernal Hordes: Confront the Infernal Legions
Helltides were just the beginning. The Infernal Hordes introduce a challenging new activity where you’ll face relentless waves of Hell’s minions in the Realm of Hatred. These hordes grow stronger over time.
1. Enter the Realm of Hatred:
- Use an Infernal Compass to access the Realm of Hatred.
- Obtain Hell Compasses by defeating Endgame Bosses, completing Helltides, Nightmare Dungeons, and Whispers.
- You’ll also receive a Hell Compass upon finishing the latest Eternal quest.
2. Infernal Hordes Gameplay:
- Engage in time-limited waves lasting 90 seconds each.
- Collect Burning Aether during each wave to spend at the end of a successful Infernal run.
- After each wave, eliminate remaining enemies and choose one of three Infernal Offers that modify the next wave.
- Successfully complete all waves in your Tier to advance to the Well of Hatred and battle the Fell Council. Defeating the Fell Council will allow you to spend your Burning Aether on Spoils of Hell.
3. Infernal Offers:
- Select from three different Boons & Banes that affect your run. Examples include increased elite damage or greater Burning Aether rewards.
- Infernal Offers stack and can be active simultaneously, allowing you to adjust difficulty for greater rewards.
4. Collecting and Using Burning Aether:
- Earn Burning Aether by defeating Aether Fiends and Aether Lords or by destroying Soulspires and Aetheric Masses.
- The amount of Burning Aether you earn is the same whether you play solo or in a group.
- Use Burning Aether to unlock Spoils of Hell at the end of a successful run.
Spoils of Hell:
- Spoils of Equipment
- Spoils of Materials
- Spoils of Gold
- Spoils of Greater Equipment (guarantees an item with a Greater Affix)
Treasure Goblin Updates:
- Improved loot quality: 1-3 Legendary Items and 2-6 Rare Items, with fewer Rare Items if more Legendaries drop, and vice versa.
- Now also drops 1-2 Elixirs, along with Common Ore, Herbs, Leather, and Gem Fragments.
- Increased Gold drops:
- Level 1 in World Tier I: 40k Gold
- Level 100 in World Tier IV: 150k Gold
- In World Tiers III and IV, Treasure Goblins drop Forgotten Souls.
- They also have a 10/20/30% chance to drop 1-2 Scattered Prisms in World Tiers I/II, III, and IV, respectively.
