Diablo 4 - Renown System Guide

The Renown System is a new game mechanic that encourages players to explore the open world of Diablo 4 (D4), granting you powerful rewards in return. Learn how to get Renown fast, all milestone rewards, and more about the Renown System!

List of Contents

How to Get Renown Fast

Checkmark Find All Altars of Lilith
Checkmark Form a Party of Four and Clear Dungeons Separately
Checkmark Complete Side Quests
Checkmark Clear Dungeons as Fast as Possible
Checkmark Skip Cellars and World Events

Find All Altars of Lilith

Diablo 4 - Find all Altars of Lilith
Go around the map and find all Altars of Lilith in each zone. Ignore enemies and use your Mount if you have one to travel faster. You will also get permanent stat boosts for all your characters on top of the Renown. There are a total of 160 Altars of Lilith to collect, but since they carry over to all characters and even across Seasons, it's worth the time to get them all.

All Altars of Lilith Locations

Form a Party of Four and Clear Dungeons Separately

Diablo 4 - Form a Party of Four and Clear Dungeons Separately

If possible, you can party up with three other players and finish Dungeons separately. Each individual Dungeon clear counts for the rest of the party members, including the Renown earned.

Whenever a party member completes a dungeon, the Codex of Power will progress, unlocking the Aspect for all members in the party. If you are having difficulty in clearing dungeons solo, you can do this method on a lower World Tier.

All Dungeon Locations

Complete Side Quests

Diablo 4 - Complete Side Quests
Side Quests are easy sources of Renown. Try to do every Side Quest you encounter while progressing through the game to quickly rack up Renown and also earn other useful rewards.

Some Side Quests requires you to run a specific dungeon. Try to prioritize these Side Quests before you start clearing all the dungeons to avoid backtracking.

List of Side Quests with Dungeons

Side Quest Dungeon
The Dread Martyr Hallowed Ossuary
Cries of Innocence Black Asylum
Blood Sermon Sanguine Chapel
Shattered Tribute Hoarfrost Demise
Sight to Madness Cultist’s Refuge
Legacies of Light's Watch Light’s Watch
Daughter of the Oak Underroot
Feral Moon Sarat’s Lair
In The Name of Love Whispering Vault
Raising Spears Champion’s Demise
Worthy of Arreat Ancient's Lament
Hubris Smiles Back Grinning Labyrinth
Symbol of Faith Tomb of the Saints
A Wolf's Honor Forgotten Ruins
A Voice From the Past Conclave
Desperate Remedies Light’s Refuge
Remnants of Faith Maugan’s Works
A Price to Pay Blind Burrows
Left Behind Shadowed Plunge

List of Side Quests

Clear Dungeons as Fast as Possible

Clear Dungeons as Fast as Possible
Try to rush and clear new dungeons as fast as you can if you're looking to quickly gain Renown. Each cleared dungeon rewards you with 40 Renown and unlocks a new Aspect for your Codex.

Skip Cellars and World Events

Skip Cellars and World Events
You can freely skip Cellars and World Events when hunting for Renown points as neither of these open world activities reward Renown.

Renown Milestone Rewards

Skill Points, Potion Charges, Obol Capacity, and Paragon Points

Diablo 4 - Skill Points, Potion Charges, Obol Capacity, and Paragon Points

Reaching certain Renown Point milestones rewards players with Skill Points, Potion Charges, Murmuring Obol capacity, and Paragon Points. Each region has its own set of rewards, so make sure to explore all 5 of them thoroughly as you reach endgame.

All Activities That Increase Renown

Activity Renown Points
Discovering a new area 5
Finding an Altar of Lilith 10
Activating a Waypoint 20
Finishing a Side Quest 30
Clearing a Dungeon 40
Reclaiming a Stronghold 100

How to Check Renown

Check Current Renown at the Map Screen

Diablo 4 - Check Current Renown at the Map Screen

You can check your current Renown by opening the Map screen, hovering over a discovered area, and checking the ribbon bar that appears at the top of the screen. This ribbon bar shows your current Renown for the area as well as the number of other landmarks and points of interest you've already discovered.

Open the Region Progress Screen

Diablo 4 - Open the Region Progress Screen

You can also view a more in-depth breakdown of your current Renown and unlocked rewards by pressing the W Key (Triangle for PlayStation, Y for Xbox) in the Map screen to open up the Region Progress screen.

What Is the Renown System?

Regional Point System That Grants Milestone Rewards

Diablo 4 - Regional Point System That Grants Milestone Rewards

The Renown System is a brand new game mechanic intimately tied to Diablo 4's open world structure. Encouraging players to explore and complete the various activities available in the open world, the Renown System rewards you with Renown Points that, in turn, allows you to hit milestones that give you powerful rewards.

Separate Renown Point Tally for Each of the 5 Regions

Each of the 5 regions will have their own separate Renown Point Tally. This means that players will have to fully seek out and complete the open world activities tied to Renown in order reap the full benefits of the system for their current character.

Some Renown Carries Over Into Seasons

After the release of Seasons, players became able to retain their progress on Altars of Lilith and World Map discovery for their new Seasonal Characters.
