Pursue Celestial Fortune in Lunar Awakening — Diablo IV — Blizzard News

The Celestial Celebration Returns!

The highly anticipated Lunar Awakening event is back! From February 4, 10 a.m.–February 18, 10 a.m. PST, players in Seasonal and Eternal Realms can immerse themselves in the mystical moonlight of this limited-time event. A powerful phenomenon has descended upon the shrines of Sanctuary, imbuing them with immense and prosperous energy. Celebrants believe that their Ancestors are bestowing blessings from the beyond to mark this joyous occasion.

Embrace the Lunar Awakening

To fully partake in the festivities of Lunar Awakening, journey to Ked Bardu and make your way to the Northern part of the town. Here, you will encounter Ying-Yue, the leader of the Lunar Night Market. This bustling market serves as the central hub for Lunar Awakening, where you can exchange your Ancestral Favor Reputation for rewards from the Ancestors caches and decorative Lunar Renewal-themed prizes.

Lunar Shrines are scattered across Sanctuary. Venture through dungeons and the wilds, activating Lunar Shrines and battling monsters to earn substantial amounts of Ancestral Favor Reputation.

Unlock the Power of Lunar Shrines

During Lunar Awakening, the Lunar Shrines pulsate with the auspicious energies bestowed upon them by the spirits of ancestors. These Lunar Shrines, which offer a 100% experience bonus when activated, have been redesigned to honor the year of the snake. While similar to regular Shrines, Lunar Shrines pack an extra punch to enhance the festive celebration. Keep an eye out for their unique Map icon, making them easy to spot from afar.

Each Lunar Shrine provides an additional bonus effect on top of its usual power, as detailed below:

Enhanced Lunar Shrine Effects:

  • Artillery Shrine – Summons a holy bomb with each cast.
  • Blast Wave Shrine – Triggers a cluster bombardment with each explosion.
  • Channeling Shrine- Increases attack speed and chance to reset cooldowns.
  • Conduit Shrine – Summons frequent, powerful, shocking strikes.
  • Greed Shrine – Chance to summon a Treasure Goblin, with kills summoning more.
  • Lethal Shrine – Opportunity to instantly execute a struck monster, causing Fear in surrounding enemies.
  • Protection Shrine – Reflects all incoming damage, with the reflected damage scaling based on Level and Difficulty.

Upon activating a Lunar Shrine, Miserly Spirits will emerge immediately, allowing you to make the most of the Shrine’s unique gameplay enhancements.

Earn Rewards through Reputation Levels

There are a total of 10 Ancestral Favor Reputation Levels to achieve, with rewards such as a Resplendent Spark and six unique Lunar-themed cosmetic items to unlock, including the new Trag’Oul’s Consort mount*. Once you climb the reputation levels, continue earning rewards through Unceasing Gifts from the Ancestors.

*Previous Lunar rewards can only be obtained once.

Discover Opulent Garments

Tejal’s shop will feature Lunar Awakening themed garments. Visit to equip your adventurer with elegant Armor Cosmetics like the Scholar of the Lonely Moon for the Sorcerer, and adorn your loyal mount with the Dragon of the Lonely Moon mount armor.
