Diablo 4 Renown system explained: How to earn and all rewards

It's a rewarding process.

Completing Diablo 4’s storyline is only the beginning for veterans of the franchise. Once the first playthrough is out of the way, it’s usually time to maximize your character’s full potential, and the Renown system is a major part of Diablo 4’s endgame experience.

The Renown system mainly focuses on getting players to explore all the regions in Diablo 4, while also rewarding them for their efforts. As of Patch 1.1 and the start of Season of the Malignant, players will be able to earn just a little bit more as well.

What is Renown in Diablo 4?

Renown is a Goal and Reward system in Diablo 4 that ensures all players explore everything on offer. The Renown system rewards players for completing tasks like exploring the map. There are five Renown tiers in Diablo 4 and each tier comes with a special reward.

How to get Renown in Diablo 4?

Players can get Renown in Diablo 4 by completing the following tasks:

TaskReward
Unlock a waypoint20 Renown
Complete a side quest30 Renown
Clear a Stronghold100 Renown
Discover an areaFive Renown
Find an Altar of Lilith10 Renown
Clear a Side Dungeon40 Renown

Diablo 4 Patch 1.1 increased the amount of Renown earned from side quests from 20 to 30, while Renown earned from dungeons was increased from 30 to 40. This change is retroactive, so players who sign in to season one for the first time should see a sizable Renown increase right away.

How to check Renown progress in Diablo 4

  • Load into your character.
  • Open the map and choose “View Rewards” which will be located near the checklist.
  • Clicking on View Rewards will show players their current Renown progress in the region they’re in.

Considering how focused I was on completing the main storyline in my first playthrough, I overlooked the Renown system a little. Now that I’m slowly climbing up the World Tiers and perfecting my builds, though, the Renown system has allowed me to fast-track progress, and it should definitely help you get on your way too.

While the Renown experience is a bit grindy, the Diablo 4 developers announced in a Campfire Chat that they will work toward improving the feature in the coming seasons.
