Blizzard have detailed some late changes to the Belial’s Return Season Journey!
The reward structure has been changed. Most of the Ash rewards were related to Chapter 7 of the journey before, but after these changes they will be more evenly distributed between chapters 2 and 7. The seasonal owl pet reward, Iris, was moved one chapter earlier, being obtained after 6 instead of 7.
Hello all
We have made a change prior to Season 8 launch that will affect the way you obtain specific rewards associated with the Season Journey.
The prior reward structure held a good majority of Smoldering Ashes and the Seasonal Pet Reward (Iris) behind Chapter 7 of the Season Journey. We have made updates on the backend to redistribute these earlier in the Season Journey. These changes will be in effect immediately at the start of the Season 8 on April 29th. Due to the way this was updated prior to the start of the season, players will see incorrect tooltips and information on the Season Journey until we can get another client update out post Season 8 launch.
Below you will find the new updated values for Smoldering Ash per Chapter with this update:
Chapter II: 2 Ashes via Chapter completion
Chapter III: 2 Ashes via Chapter completion
Chapter IV: 3 Ashes via Chapter completion + 1 Ash via Chapter objective
Chapter V: 3 Ashes via Chapter completion + 1 Ash via Chapter objective
Chapter VI: 3 Ashes via Chapter completion + 1 Ash via Chapter objective
Chapter VII: 3 Ashes via Chapter completion + 1 Ash via Chapter objective
Iris, the new pet reward for Season 8, will now be available after completing Chapter VI as opposed to Chapter VII.
We believe these changes will make progression and earning Iris more accessible to players jumping into the new season. We will have more news once we have additional information on the client update to address the in-game tooltips to represent this change.
See you in Season 8 for Belial’s Return!
