Lunar New Year Diablo 4 Event
Lunar Awakening Event Diablo 4
The Lunar Awakening Event starts February 6, 10 a.m. and ends February 20, 10 a.m. PST.
This Limited Time Event is available for Players in both Seasonal and Eternal Realms.
Gameplay
Lunar Shrines are spread throughout Sanctuary. Fight your way through both dungeons and the overworld, activating Lunar Shrines and slaying monsters to earn Ancestors Favor reputation.
Lunar Shrines can be identified by their appearance, a Dragon in celebration of Lunar Awakening. Lunar Shrines also have a unique Map icon, making them easy to identify from a distance.
Earn 50% bonus XP (multiplicative) and have 30% increased movement speed by activating Lunar Shrines scattered throughout Sanctuary.
During Lunar Awakening, Nightmare Dungeon Sigils have a chance to have an Ancestor’s Favor dungeon affix which guarantees only Lunar Shrines spawn for that dungeon. In addition to the extra Shrines, you will also receive 10% bonus Glyph XP once the Dungeon is complete!
It is worth to mention that: All Nightmare Dungeon Sigils with the Ancestor’s Favor Affix will retain it once the event has ended, so feel free to stockpile away for days long after the Moon has set on Lunar Awakening.
