No, this isn’t a deja vu, Blizzard really is bringing back Diablo 4’s Mother’s Blessing event for the second month in-a-row. This is the game’s not-quite double XP bonanza, though it does boost your XP and Gold earn rate significantly.
You may recall that Blizzard rolled it out in February, and pretty much about the same time, too.
March’s Mother’s Blessing is, just like the February edition, the upgraded version of the thing. You still get 35% more XP, and a 50% boost to Gold (multiplicative). What’s new – which is something that started with the currently-active Season of Witchcraft – is the extra Gift of the Tree cache you get whenever you turn in your Whispers.
It’s a Collection of Chaos, so you won’t be able to optimise your farming, but it is a major bonus, especially seeing as how the entire loop of Season of Witchcraft revolves around Whispers. As always, the bonuses all stack with any Elixirs you may have active, as well as with the Urn of Aggression from the Seasonal Journey.
The event kicks off on Tuesday, March 18 and will be available for one week – until Tuesday, March 25. Anyone on the Seasonal, and Eternal Realms will be able to enjoy the bonuses, and this goes for all World Tiers, too.
Elsewhere in the world of Diablo 4, Blizzard recently hosted a livestream detailing everything coming to the game with patch 2.2, whose PTR kicked off this week. The PTR previews what’s to come in the game’s next season, and the list of exciting additions includes the ability to claim and use boss powers, an overhaul to the endgame boss ladder and how they’re summoned, as well as the arrival of Belial’s legion of enemies.
