Diablo 4 players are in for a treat in Patch 1.1.4, with Blizzard deciding to increase the experience bonus from the Urn of Aggression season blessing from eight percent to 20.
Urn of Aggression is one of five blessings from season one, which can be unlocked via Smoldering Ash received from completing the free version of the battle pass. It’s arguably the best one since it makes leveling characters far easier.
From today, with these changes, it’s set to be even better.
The change comes after players enjoyed the experience bonus in the Mother’s Blessing event so much, they called on Blizzard to implement something like it permanently. Blizzard didn’t quite do that in this September update, but it did try to appease the masses by making the Urn of Aggression bonuses more potent.
“We increased the total experience bonus of Urn of Aggression to make the season blessing more impactful and to help players seeking Level 100 get there a little faster,” said Blizzard.
That’s not all the patch has to offer, either. Other changes include minor bug fixes, most of which are tied to certain quests and events. For example, it fixed an issue where the Retching Mass event did not reward Gold upon completion. It also fixed an issue where progression for the Poisoned Hearts quest could be blocked if the player left the area in the middle of Aneta’s dialogue with Vera, and more.
