Slay your way through returning events to earn Bloody Hearts for the Feast of Valenti limited-time event.
No adjustments to the unfairly high Inferno 5 CR requirements?
Other than that I also find it funny how much detail theyâve added for returning events.

Seriously?
The only mention of anything that will affect Combat Rating is thisâŚ
Set Items Rank Increase
The new maximum Rank for Set items has been increased to 25 to further reward you for completing Challenge Rifts.
I hit Paragon 700 today and despite my legendary items being just 50 CR short of perfect for my level, my greens are so awful that Iâm about 400 CR too low to do INF5 dungeons.
I currently have around 5.6K red crystals, so thatâs probably enough for two set item rank-ups after the patch, i.e. itâll probably gain me two lots of 12 CR, still leaving me around 375 CR too low to do INF5 dungeons.
What are you expecting players to do to get enough CR to do INF5 dungeons at Para 700+?
I think itâs obvious especially if you consider theyâve added leg crests to bg rewards. If you would have 8 4/5 rank5 gems (ie. 3.6k reso) you would gain 362 extra cr which would be close enough to play dungeons on inf5 @700.
Iâm currently at 43961 CR, well over 1k below I5 requirement. With some I5 set items crafted and by upgrading gear ranks I could get a few hundred more. That would still leave me below the requirement and I donât know where I could get that missing CR.
And I donât think Iâm alone.
Set Item Drop from Dungeons
All Dungeon bosses and Ancient Elites now have a chance to drop Set items. Final Dungeon bosses have had their Set item drop rate reduced to retain balance
So weâre back to Namari Spam like in the old days? Not a fan of this featureâŚ
Battleground
If you have completed any Battleground matches with a Class during the season and Class Change, you will need to complete at least an additional 20 matches as your new Class to receive your end-of-season rewards for that Class.
Finally, they do something about this. There were a few times I somewhat got "robbed "by these players in the BG Leaderboard because they switched classes to my class at the last minute and lowered my BG ranking because they had higher points than mine.
Additionally, the rewards you receive from completing each Battleground match have increased. Also, at the end of the season, youâll receive the following rewards for attaining these Ranks or higher:
- Bronze II: A Legendary Crest
- Silver I: 3 Legendary Crests
- Gold I: 5 Legendary Crests
- Legend: 10 Legendary Crests
Tower War
Season 6 of Tower War will run from February 12, 2 a.m. PSTâMarch 10, 2:59 a.m. server time. The rewards for participating in Tower War matches have also been increased.
Does this means I can get 20 LC if I got Legend rank in BG and TW? HmmmmâŚI donât enjoy TW at all, but the extra 10 LC is kinda tempting here.
Either way, I am glad that they give extra LC as BG rewards now.
âParticipate in Castle Defense for 1 minutesâ
Is there a typo and it should say â10 minutesâ instead?
Thatâs pretty much moot anyway as one of the tasks is to kill 3 bosses in a defence. As it takes well over a minute before a boss wave happens, youâll get this task done incidentally. Also, as a tip, if you do a single, endless defence thatâs long enough to get the 3 boss kills (which will also take care of the mob kills task) after that run is done, to get the other task done for having done 5 defences, just start a defence, kill a single mob pack, and exit (using the little door symbol near the mini-map). These four runs will take under 15 seconds each.
