Starting on July 12, the Nephalem can return to Diablo 3 to harness the power of the Ethereal Memory theme that first debuted with Season 24.
For this season, the developers wanted to reimagine how Ethereal items could manifest in Diablo 3, with 21 iconic weapons making a return from D2. In Season 32, Ethereals are rare, powerful, and fleeting items. Ethereals will roll a powerful set of affixes, a random Class Weapon Legendary Power and a random Class Passive Power. Ethereals will have unique icons, names, item types, and sounds originally found in Diablo 2.
- Ethereals are account bound and can only be dropped by monsters, chests, and destructibles, but do not require your character to be Level 70 in order to drop. Ethereals cannot be acquired through Kanai’s Cube or from Kadala.
- Ethereal rarity drop rate is set between Ancient and Primal items.
- There are 3 unique Ethereals per class. Each Ethereal has fixed affixes and rolls one random Legendary Weapon power and one random Class Passive Skill.
- Only one Ethereal can be equipped at a time.
- Ethereals ignore item durability loss.
- Legendary Powers and Class Passive Skills rolled on Ethereals do not stack with the same power equipped through Kanai’s Cube, Items or Skills.
- Ethereals cannot be Enchanted, Transmogrified, Dyed, Reforged, or traded.
- Ethereals can be augmented.
- Collecting all 21 Ethereals during the season will reward players with the Feat of Strength, Ethereal Recollection. Players who accomplish this will have all Ethereal transmogrify options available for future seasonal and non-seasonal play.
- Ethereals only drop in Seasonal play and will not transfer to your non-seasonal character when the season ends.
The rewards from Season 8 (wings of Andariel, Conqueror Set Boots & Pants, as well as a series of portrait frames) return, accompanied by two new cosmetic items: the Teganze Warrior Portrait Frame and Bat pet!
As far as Haedrig’s Gift, the Class Set rewarded for completing certain chapters, here’s how it goes:
- Barbarian – Immortal King’s Call
- Crusader – Seeker of the Light
- Demon Hunter – Natalya’s Vengeance
- Monk – Uliana’s Stratagem
- Necromancer – Trag’Oul’s Avatar
- Witch Doctor – Spirit of Arachyr
