- Increased guaranteed Lost Heirloom drops from Frigid Husks in World Tiers 3 & 4 from 2 to 3
- Greatly increased Blighted Fragments and Lost Heirloom rewards found in Midwinter Nightmare Spoils Caches
| Developer Note: We’ve seen feedback from the community that the materials can be a bit tedious to collect due to current drop rates, so we are boosting this up to help players obtain the rewards through the event period. Thanks again for the feedback! |
Bug Fixes

Hotfix 3 Patch Notes - December 13, 2023
Bug Fixes

Hotfix 2 Patch Notes - December 8, 2023
Game Updates
- Paragon Glyph experience rewarded from the Abattoir of Zir has been increased, with significant increases for higher tiers.
| Tier | Old XP Reward | New XP Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 1000 | Unchanged |
| Tier 5 | 1800 | 2800 |
| Tier 10 | 3900 | 11600 |
| Tier 20 | 11900 | 65400 |
| Tier 25 | 17800 | 117100 |
- Bloodseekers can no longer spawn with the Vampiric or Suppressor Affixes
| Developer’s Note: This affects both Bloodseekers encountered throughout Season of Blood content as well as Abattoir of Zir. |
- We’ve restructured the earlier tiers of Abattoir of Zir, and the experience now begins with a difficulty close to that of Tier 90 Nightmare Dungeons. The Monsters continue to rapidly scale, reaching a similar difficulty of Nightmare Dungeon Tier 100 by Tier 5, and matching the current Live difficulty tuning by Tier 10. Additionally, we’ve reduced incoming damage by up to ~20% throughout all Tiers of Abattoir of Zir.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue related to leveling Glyphs in the Season Journey.
- Performance and stability improvements.
Hotfix 1 Patch Notes - December 7, 2023
