Developer’s Note: With Echoing Nightmares transitioning from a Seasonal theme to a permanent feature moving forward, we felt it was necessary to dial back the Experience rewards to avoid players feeling obligated to maximize their time spent inside the activity.The Experience rewarded upon completion of an Echoing Nightmare has been reduced by 83%.Additional portals to the same Uber Boss Realm can now be opened in a single game session. Uber Boss Realms now automatically close 60 seconds after the Uber Bosses have been defeated.All players now have access to Normal-Torment 6 difficulties by default, and upon reaching level 70 with a character, players gain access to Torment 7–Torment 16. Default difficulty selection has been updated to be consistent for all players and platforms.Players are no longer required to complete the Campaign to access Adventure mode. Adventure Mode is now unlocked for all accounts by default.The drop rate of Angelic Crucibles has been doubled.Followers cannot equip Sanctified items.Only level 70 equippable items can be Sanctified-crafted items cannot be Sanctified.No stats are preserved when Sanctifying an item.Sanctified items can be Sanctified again using another Angelic Crucible.Players can obtain as many Sanctified items as they would like, however, only one Sanctified item can be equipped at a time.Angelic Crucibles can drop anywhere in Sanctuary at level 70.Angelic Crucibles and Sanctified Items can only be acquired in Seasonal play and will not transfer to your non-seasonal character when the season ends.In addition, this process adds one of three new Sanctified powers unique to each class. Sanctifying an item reforges it to have perfect Ancient-level stats on all affixes while also preserving the item’s Legendary Power. Once uncovered by Nephalem, these heavenly artifacts can be used to Sanctify any equippable Legendary item.

Season 27 introduces a new type of consumable item called Angelic Crucibles.
