We have assembled a few key updates and bug fixes that were made as a direct result of the community’s feedback. Continue reading past this section to get a complete view of all the changes releasing with Season of the Infernal Hordes.

    • Tier 4-5 Compasses can drop in High Tier Nightmare Dungeons.
    • Tiers 4-8 Compasses now naturally drop in high tier Pit runs.
    • Tiers 4-8 Compasses will now rarely drop in Helltide and from Whisper caches after completing these tiers of Nightmare Dungeons or Pits. (Ex: Tiers 4 and 5 Compasses can drop in Helltide and Whispers after completing Nightmare Dungeons of Tier 75 and 100 respectively).
    • Infernal Compasses can now be crafted at the Occultist. They cost Forgotten Souls and Sigil Powder. Additionally, Compasses can now be salvaged for Sigil Powder.

  • Björnfang's Tusks has been reworked and given a new name. A part of its power was introduced to be inherent for Cataclysm. See below in each relevant section for more info.
  • Drop rate for Legendary items in Helltide has been improved for monsters higher than Level 100.

    • Rebalanced Tormented Boss loot to have parity with each other.

    • Jewelry: Abstruse Sigils
    • Weapons: Baleful Fragments
    • Armor: Coiling Wards
  • We increased the character level requirements for unlocking Smoldering Ashes in the Battle Pass.

Developer’s Note: This change was necessary due to increased XP gain rates that were allowing players to reach the character level requirement for Smoldering Ashes before they reached the corresponding Tier in the Battle Pass. We want to avoid instances that allow players to purchase Tier Skips to gain the benefits from of the Smoldering Ashes ahead of players who aren’t purchasing them. We will continue to iterate on this system in future seasons.

  • We’ve increased the max level difference you can earn base monster experience from. The maximums have been updated:Developer’s Note: We wanted to properly reward players for pushing to a higher monster difficulty, especially since Profane Mindcages can now stack. With this change, max stacked Profane Mindcages should have an impact on experience gained.
    • World Tier I and II: 3 to 30
    • World Tier III: 6 to 30
    • World Tier IV: 10 to 30
    • Example of previous system at World Tier IV: A Level 60 player killing a Level 80 monster will reward experience equivalent of having killed a Level 70 monster.
    • Example of current system at World Tier IV: A Level 60 player killing a Level 80 monster will receive experience appropriate for a Level 80 monster.
  • Boss Health has been reduced across the game.
    • Before:
      • WTI: 0%
      • WTII: 4000%
      • WTIII: 6500%
      • WTIV: 30000%
    • After:
      • WTI: 0%
      • WTII: 2000%
      • WTIII: 4000%
      • WTIV: 6000%
  • Pit Boss damage has been reduced by 66% across the board.
  • Shadow Pit Boss Affix attacks now apply a stacking damage debuff which stacks up to 3 times.
  • At the third and final stack, Pit Boss damage is the same as Loot Reborn.
  • The Bandit Sharpshooter boss has been replaced with Mother's Judgement.

Developer’s Note: We've made this change to reduce the amount of one-shots that happen when fighting bosses in the Pit. Players should have more room to get hit by boss attacks up to a certain point.
