This is your chance to test the latest updates and features, including the highly anticipated Horadric Spellcraft and Escalating Nightmares endgame challenge.
Horadric Spellcraft: Unleashing the Power of Magic
The PTR offers a sneak peek at the new Horadric Spellcraft system, which allows you to customize and build powerful spells using three key elements: Catalysts, Infusions, and Arcana. With untold possibilities, you can experiment and wield Horadric magic like never before. The PTR vendor, Mrak, provides access to these elements, which will be earned through the Seasonal Questline and Nightmare Dungeons in the upcoming Season.
Horadric Strongrooms: A New Endgame Activity
Delve into micro-dungeons, known as Horadric Strongrooms, to fight your way out and earn powerful rewards. These rare repositories of Horadric knowledge can be found using your Wayfinder, and you’ll have a limited time to complete the Strongroom before the valuables are sealed away forever. Slay demons and satiate Horadric Pillars to earn Horadric Attunement, which can be used to grant illustrious rewards.
Escalating Nightmares: A New Endgame Challenge
Face your fears and descend into the depths of agony with the new Escalating Nightmares endgame activity. This challenging experience throws you into a chain of three Nightmare dungeons, with each dungeon escalating in difficulty and rewards. Manage to fight your way through all three, and you’ll be rewarded with a date with the Exalted version of Astaroth himself.
Astaroth’s Return: A Hellishly Good Time
A familiar face and one hellishly good boy await you at the end of your Nightmare Escalation. Face Astaroth and the monstrous Amalgam with a new, challenging twist.
