With the start of the 6th season of Diablo III set for Friday, April 29, it's only natural to ponder about the rewards this new season will deliver. Well, ponder no further: we have done a bit of research and here's what we've come up with.
During season 6, brand new cosmetic items will be available, including a portrait frame as well as a unique pennant and new pieces of the Conqueror's transmogrification set. The said pennant can be picked up as a reward for completing chapter four of the season journey.
More importantly though, Haedrig's Gift will be available for season 6 as well and players will be able to pick it up no fewer than three times, by completing various requirements. By opening these gifts, players can land 2-3 pieces of a high-end set. What one needs to bear in mind in this respect though is that the class of the character that's used to open Haedrig's Gifts will determine the type of gear received.
One Haedrig's Gift can be obtained by reaching level 70 in chapter III. In chapter IV, defeating Izumal at level 70 on at least Torment II will yield another such gift-pack. The last one can be picked up by completing a Greater Rift of level 20 solo.
The sets that can be completed by picking up all the above gift-packs are indeed quite impressive. For the Barbarian, we're talking The Legacy of Raekor, while the Crusader will be able to get his hands on the Armor of Akkha. For the Demon Hunter, The Embodiment of the Marauder awaits. The Monk can get Inna's Reach, the Witch Doctor cab grab Zunimassa's Haunt, while the Wizard's reward is Delsere's Magnum Opus.
Last but certainly not least, seasonal players will be able to increase their stash-size too, granted this one won't be easy to accomplish. The list of requirements is as long as it's impressive. To fulfill it, players need to complete a Torment X Nephalem Rift in less than 4 minutes. Also, one will have to level three Legendary Gems to at least level 55. Any two quests have to be completed, Rakanoth has to be killed in under 15 seconds on torment X, Greed needs to be slain on Torment X and a Greater Rift 60 needs to be cleared solo.
