Diablo 4 - How to Level Governing and Tuning Stones

Governing and Tuning Stones are leveled up using duplicate copies of each stone in Diablo 4 (D4) Season 3. Read on to learn how level your Governing and Tuning Stones, the required XP for each rank, as well as how to get duplicate stones during the Season.

How to Level Governing and Tuning Stones

Obtain Duplicate Governing or Tuning Stones

D4 Season 3 - Governing and Tuning Stone Duplicates

To level up your existing Governing Stones and Tuning Stones, you will first need to obtain duplicates in order to fuel the upgrade process.

Duplicate stones can be obtained by participating in Seasonal Events (Arcane Tremors and Vaults), progressing the Seasonal Questline, or completing different chapters of the Seasonal Journey.

Duplicates Automatically Reward Dusk Support XP

Once you're rewarded with duplicate Seneschal Stones (Governing or Tuning), all you need to do is pick them up. On pickup, each duplicate will grant you 10 XP Dusk Support for the related stone.

All Governing Stones and Tuning Stones have a max Rank of 10 regardless of whether they're Rare, Legendary, or Unique in quality.

Seneschal Stone XP Required Per Rank

At the time of writing, Seneschal Stones require 30 XP per Rank up (3 duplicates) all the way to Rank 10. This means that in order to max out a Governing or Tuning Stone, you will need a total of 27 duplicates per stone.
