In the ever-evolving world of Diablo 4, the latest patch version 1.2.3 brings a plethora of updates and enhancements, boosting Glyph XP gains and introducing the challenging Abattoir of Zir dungeon, among other quality-of-life improvements.
The new patch significantly increases the Glyph XP rewards for players engaging in Nightmare Dungeons. This change is tier-based, with no alterations up to Tier 17. However, beyond Tier 30, players will see a substantial boost in Glyph XP. For instance, at Tier 50, the Glyph XP jumps from 106 to 139, and at the highest Tier 100, it skyrockets from 206 to 339. These adjustments are designed to make the more difficult Nightmare dungeons more enticing and rewarding for players.
The Abattoir of Zir: A New Endgame Pinnacle Dungeon
The patch introduces the Abattoir of Zir, labeled as an “endgame pinnacle dungeon” by Blizzard. To access this dungeon, players must first complete all chapters in Diablo 4’s Season of Blood. Successful completion unlocks the Bloodforged Sigil recipe, leading to the Visceral Channel in Ked Bardu, which serves as the gateway to the Abattoir.
Inside the Abattoir of Zir, players face a 10-minute timer to defeat enemies and summon the final Bloodseekers. Each tier of the dungeon rewards a new recipe for the subsequent tier’s Bloodforged Sigil, escalating the challenge. The first tier victory grants the Unique item Glyph: Tears of Blood. Blizzard hints at the extreme difficulty of this dungeon, with even top players doubting the feasibility of completing the final tier.
Quality-of-Life Enhancements
The patch also introduces a ‘View Possible Affixes’ button, a welcomed quality-of-life improvement. This feature allows players to preview potential affixes from the Enchantment menu, aiding in strategic planning and gear optimization.
A series of bug fixes accompany these major updates. Notably, a fix has been implemented for an issue causing tooltips to blink when hovering over certain items. This seemingly minor fix has been warmly received by the community, highlighting the importance of such quality-of-life improvements.
