Over the last few weeks, we updated our Diablo IV Content Overview with all new and changed information from the
Press Preview build which we got to play in December 2022
. This build included a lot of details regarding new information and features which were previously not public knowledge. Here are all the highlights!
If you want to read about everything we know about Diablo IV in detail, make sure to read our
Diablo IV Content Overview
below.
Diablo IV Content Overview Diablo IV First Impressions - Gameplay, Combat, Classes, And More
New Features
Artisans: Alchemist, Blacksmith, Jeweler, Occultist
The
Occultist
was first introduced in
December 2021's Quarterly Update
which mainly focused on its ability to extract and apply Legendary powers onto Rare and Legendary items. Since then we have learned that the Occultist can also craft randomized Nightmare Sigils of differing tiers to enter NIghtmare Dungeons and replace unwanted affixes on Rare and Legendary items in the same way that the Mystic in Diablo III can.
The
Blacksmith
and the
Jeweler
have a similar role but with a further expanded toolkit than their counterparts in Diablo III. The Blacksmith lets you salvage gear into crafting materials, repair, and upgrade your weapons and armor in exchange for crafting materials and Gold. The Jeweler lets you craft Gems, unsocket Gems, add sockets to gear, and upgrade jewelry in exchange for crafting materials and Gold. Currently, they don't come with any gear crafting.

The
Alchemist
is a completely new addition to the franchise. Here you can upgrade your Health Potion,
brew Elixirs which grant temporary buffs to your stats
, craft Incense, and refine crafting materials into other ones.
Purveyor of Curiosities
The Purveyor of Curiosities lets you spend your earned Obols from completing Local Events in the world. In return you will get a randomized item (both in stats and quality) from an item type of your choice.
Codex of Power
The Codex of Power is a collection of all Legendary Aspects that were unlocked by completing specific dungeons for the first time. Legendary Aspects are Legendary Powers that impact the way you play and might enable a certain playstyle.
Please refer to
our guide covering the Codex of Power
in great detail if you want to learn more.

World Tier
While World Tiers were already unveiled previously, we didn't have much information on these difficulties besides they served to keep the world on pace with the power of your character and a few additional minor details like higher difficulties unlocking new Unique items.
Now we have
details on each World Tier listed in our Diablo IV Content Overview
. Here is an example:
World Tier 3: Nightmare
For players who desire more challenge.
Unlocked by completing the Cathedral of Light dungeon in World Tier 2: Veteran.
Recommended Level: 50
Champion monsters now have a chance to appear.
Sacred items now have a low chance of dropping.
Nightmare Sigils which in turn unseal Nightmare Dungeons are unlocked.
Players gain 100% XP bonus. Non-Physical resistances are reduced by 20%.
Renown and Altars of Lilith
We got more information on the Renown system which rewards players for active exploration of the open world. The following actions contribute to your Renown:
Unlocking Waypoints
Completing Side Quests
Finding Altars of Lilith
Liberating Strongholds
Completing Dungeons
Discovering New Areas
Renown milestones exist for each region in the world. Reaching these can grant bonuses claimable by each hero and rewards that unlock for all heroes on the account. For more details, visit the
Renown section of our Diablo IV Content Overview
.
Altars of Lilith
are hidden throughout the open world of Sanctuary. They are usually found off the beaten path, e.g. in dead ends. Finding an altar will permanently increase a specific stat
for all characters on your account
. This is especially useful for speeding up the early stages of leveling for another character.

Shrines
There are seven different
Shrines
available in Diablo IV. These can be found in the open world and in dungeons,
each lasting 30 seconds and providing you with a movement speed bonus on top of their individual effects
. Here is an example:
Artillery Shrine
Divine weapons abet the worthy.
Your Attack Speed is increased, and all attacks summon holy arrows.
Healing Wells
which fully heal your character also make a return with the additional effect of restoring your resource to full.
Elite Affixes
Elites and Champions are a staple in the Diablo franchise. These empowered monsters come with a variety of additional affixes, both old and new.
For example,
Shock Lance
spawns a rotating lightning beam very similar to Diablo III's Arcane Enchanted affix except for the changed element. One of the new affixes called
Suppressor
spawns a large bubble around the Elite which makes them immune to any ranged attack (including spells) coming from outside of the bubble.
Gem Types and Effects
Being able to socket Gems into gear with sockets will make a return in the tried and true fashion. There are seven different Gem types (including the Skull). Here is an example of a Gem:
Crude Ruby
Weapon: +6% Resource Generation
Armor: +5% Life
Jewelry: 11.5% Fire Resistance
Requires Level 15
An inventory featuring all gem types.
We have listed
all different Gem types and their effects in our Content Overview
.
Consumable: Elixirs
Elixirs boost the player's stats for a limited time. There are many different Elixirs in Diablo IV. One effect that is shared by all of them is that they boost your Experience gain. There can only be one Elixir active at a time. This is an example for an Elixir:
Weak Iron Barb Elixir
Increases Armor by 100, Thorns by 50, and Experience by 3% for 30 minutes.
Changed and Delayed Features
Primary Stats
You no longer gain points to allocate into your Primary Stats on level up. Instead, the Paragon Board fills this void and goes deeper with its customization by giving you more options to choose from.
Paragon Board Details
Runes and Runewords
The last time we heard of Runes and Runewords was at BlizzCon 2019 when the system was first introduced.
Gamepur
has reported that that the developers want Runes and Runewords in the game but want to do them right. This is why Runes and Runewords are now planned to be included in a future update after launch.
Joe Shely
Players who engaged with Runes in Diablo II have a very specific expectation about what that word means in the context of Diablo. The design that we were discussing for Runes back at that time was a different design that took Runes in a different direction. As we’ve continued to develop the game, we’ve thought about how important it is to make sure that when we say, ‘Hey, we’re adding Runes to the game,’ for players who remember those from previous experiences, that they live up to their expectations. We’re going to take a little bit more time to make sure we get Runes right, and so they won’t appear at launch.
Sets
As reported by
GamesRadar
, game director Joe Shely said that Sets will not be included in Diablo IV at launch. They need more time to get them right and will include Sets in a post-launch update.
Joe Shely
As we've been building the game, we felt like we could evolve sets in a new way relative to what we've seen in Diablo 3. But, we needed some more time to get them into the game in a way that would work well with the rest of Diablo 4, so you won't see sets at launch in the game. We think sets are cool, and we want to do them right – so that's something we're looking at for our live service.
