Refresher Course: Public Test Realm

I’ve only done one PTR and have forgot how it works. Will I be able to transfer over my gons/gold/items, etc.; or will I start at absolute zero?

Sorry to bother. Thanks for your time.

Best,

PTR Character Copy

The option to copy your existing Diablo III characters from your live account to the PTR will be available and can be done directly through the PTR client. However, only one region per account can be copied at a time. So, if you choose to copy characters from your account in a different region, any previously copied PTR characters will be lost.

Step 1: Log into the live game and then log out.

Step 2: Log into PTR client and create a level 1 character. After you’re done, return to the main character screen.

Step 3: Click on the “PTR Copy” button located in the upper right-hand corner. (The PTR Copy button will not appear in-game until you have created a new level 1 character.)

Step 4: Select your region.

Step 5: Click “Copy.” This will copy all characters on your account from the selected region.

Step 6: You will be disconnected from the PTR client.

Step 7: Log back in. Your copied characters will be available for play.

Please note that you can only copy characters from one gameplay region at a time. If you choose to copy characters from a different region, any previously copied PTR characters will be lost. In addition, you can only copy characters over to your PTR account once every 24 hours. Attempting to copy characters before this cooldown is up will result in an error.

If you are doing the new season–and why else would you be on the PTR?–then you won’t be able to copy anything.

That really isn’t something to worry about though. For some reason, we all still have to suffer through leveling up, but once you get to 70 and get a few bloodshards, then literally everything you could possibly want is just handed to you.

You’ll be able to transfer everything from non-season (which includes all the progress/items that had transferred from season 26 if you participated in that). Season’s the only thing that wouldn’t transfer, as season 26 would’ve already had ended. So if you intend to test out any seasonal mechanics, then yes you’d have to start from scratch.

Thanks, everyone, this really helps.

Best,

Yep and this PTR is def a seasonal character level up. No major non season changes to test.
