Praise Lilith, the Daughter of Hatred and the Mother of Sanctuary! Yes, it’s time to mark your calendars and set your alarms, Nephalem, as the next Mother’s Blessing boost is upon us, and this time, it will last an entire week.
Generally, Blizzard unleashes a Mother’s Blessing closer to the middle or end of a season. However, Diablo 4 Season 5 (Infernal Hordes) was only released on 6 August, and on 20 August 2024, the Mother’s Blessing buff came into effect. Mother’s Blessing will be active for all players, including those on the Eternal and Seasonal Realms, until 27 August 2024 at 10:00 PT.
During this time, all characters have a 35% experience and 50% Gold at a (multiplicative) increased rate. I’ve played through a few Mother’s Blessings, and using Elixirs and Urn upgrades to further boost the experience gain is incredibly effective. I recommend running the seasonal content with as many buffs active as possible, and you should fly through the levels.
Blizzard recently announced this new Mother’s Blessing and threw in some lore text to get the blood flowing:
An alluring glow descends across the land, increasing the clarity and temperament of all stalwart demon slayers. Scholars have unlocked new secrets in their ancient tomes, while coffers threaten to burst with Gold unearthed from long-forgotten crypts. Make haste to hone your blade through a week of adventure and plunder to become the deadliest force in all of Sanctuary.
Count us in! Remember, Mother’s Blessing is multiplicative and stacks with Elixirs and the Urn of Aggression, which means you can significantly boost your experience gain and fly through the levels with your main or level up alts to 100 in no time.
In case you’ve been off the Diablo 4 train for a bit and have no clue about Season 5’s content, check out the Season of the Infernal Hordes gameplay overview below.
