New Whisper Bounty Rewards

Ancestral Collection

The Season of Witchcraft aslo introduces the Ancestral Collection reward for turning whisper bounties. Opening this cache guarantees at least one Ancestral item.

Note that this cache does not drop any Ancestral Item if you open it while you're below level 60. Since Ancestral items drop at max item level, it's best to save the cache for when you hit level 60.

New Uniques, Aspects, and Runes

New Uniques, Aspects, and Runes will also be introduced in Season 7. Most of these items, along with Witchcraft Powers and Occult Gems, open new build setups and synergies.

Quality of Life Updates

Armory

The Armory will also be introduced in Season 7, allowing players to save, load, and rename their build loadouts. This makes it easier for players to swap builds more efficiently compared to previous seasons.

Changes have also been made to the Class Questline for specialization. Class Quest progression is now account-bound, meaning that players only need to complete it once per class in one account and they'll be able to access the class specialization once they reach the required level.
