Since our last content update, players culled the unworthy in Survivor’s Bane, flaunted their martial prowess in Tower War, and earned new Legendary items. This content update introduces the Season 24 Battle Pass, teases our next major update, and brings various feature changes.
The generals of the Burning Hells have unleashed their most clever magic—the ability to alter time itself. Starting on March 6, the server time will be forward for North America by an hour during maintenance.
As with previous content updates, there will be server maintenance starting on March 5, from 4 p.m.–6 p.m. PST for Oceania, China, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe servers, and on March 6, from 12 a.m.–2 a.m. PST for servers in the Americas. After the maintenance has concluded, all items mentioned below will be live—specific dates for any content going live afterward are provided below.
Season 24 Battle Pass: Regent of Webs
The arachnid embodies the webs it spins, complete with deceptions and lethal traps. The sinful in Sanctuary tremble before their sinister proclivities. It’s up to you to eradicate the threat, and in return this season’s Battle Pass weaves 40 ranks worth of challenges and rewards, such as Crests, Hilts, Legendary Gems, and more.
Remember, new Rank rewards are available in the Empowered Battle Pass including a Familiar Contract at Rank 1, and rotating Cosmetics can be obtained from the Battle Archive Shop for owners of the Collector’s Empowered Battle Pass.
The downtrodden have learned to crawl; this Battle Pass starts on March 14, 3 a.m. server time and ends on April 11, 3 a.m. server time—begin slaying demons and climbing your way through the ranks today!

Returning Events
Fractured Plane

Survivor’s Bane
In Survivor’s Bane, you’ll begin each run without your character’s items and a random Skill from their Class. From March 22, 3 a.m.–March 29, 3 a.m. server time you can vanquish demons across three levels in succession—Shassar Sea, Ashworld Cemetary, and Frozen Tundra—to earn rewards and achievements.
As you move throughout the map, any Skills you have equipped will be automatically cast for you. Smiting Hell’s minions will grant you useful experience orbs that level up your Character. Each time you level up, you’ll be presented with the option to equip a new Skill, up to six total can be equipped—the Skill you’re presented with can be from any Class regardless of your Character’s Class—or to upgrade an equipped Skill.

Alley of Blood
Quarreling forces threaten to desecrate hallowed grounds, marking a point in the conflict between the forces of Shadows and Immortals.

From March 22, 3 a.m.–March 29, 3 a.m. server time, fight alongside Sacred Guardians in the Alley of Blood.

For more information about Shady Stock, please visit this article.
All Clans on Deck
The armies of the Burning Hells are mustering their forces, most assuredly for nefarious intent. You must rally your banner, adventurer—call upon your Clan for aid to beat back the tide of darkness!

Feature Updates
Helliquary Death Screen Changes
When you die while playing Helliquary raids, there’s currently no way to determine whether or not you could be resurrected by your allies. Now, when all players in a Helliquary Raid have died—and all Resurrection Stones have been exhausted—there will be a screen that notifies you that all raid members have been defeated and the only option is to exit the mode.
Character Customization Reset Reduced to One Day
We have changed the Character Customization reset from seven days to one day to help promote freedom for cosmetic versatility.
Developer’s Note: This change was made to help improve your quality of life when choosing to customize your Character. We hope you feel more freedom to try different looks!
Battlefield Class Matching Balance Changes
With our current matchmaking systems for Battlegrounds, in rare cases it would cause a large imbalance between the Melee and Ranged classes between the two teams. We adjusted our team matchmaking system to ensure classes are more evenly distributed between the two styles of ranged and melee.
Gem Splitting
This is a new feature we’re adding that allows you to take a normal gem (Citrine, Ruby, Sapphire, Tourmaline, Topaz, Aquamarine) and break it down into multiple gems of the same type that are of lower-rank. Splitting a gem will also grant you Echo Crystals, increasing with the rank of the gem that was split.
Developer’s Note: The introduction of Bracelets meant the addition of more potential gem slots. Gem splitting allows you to now use higher-ranked gems to generate multiple lower-rank gems to fill out this new slot.
Note that only three Gem splits are allowed per week, and that Rank 1 gems cannot be split. Gems that are granted from Gem splitting also cannot be traded.
Visit Vic, the Master Jeweler in Westmarch, to split your gems!
Improved Search Functionality for Clans and Warbands
We have made improvements to the search and recommendation functionality for Clans and Warbands. You’ll now be shown recommended Clans and Warbands based on improved metrics, including current member progression, the type of content players from that clan typically engage with, and mutual friends in common.
Familiar Inventory Changes
If your capacity for Familiars in your inventory is full, they will now be sent via in-game mail. They will patiently wait to be claimed until you can find them a forever home in your inventory.
