A new dawn breaks across hallowed ground, adventurer.
Since our last content update, players explored the Southern Dreadlands, summoned Ordinary and Aberrant Familiars, and pursued 3 new Legendary Gems, amongst many other spoils. This content update sees the return of several limited-time events, plus a handful of updates to different features across Sanctuary.
As with previous content updates, there will be server maintenance starting on January 3, from 4 p.m.–6 p.m. PST for Oceania, China, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe servers, and on January 4, from 12 a.m.–2 a.m. PST for servers in the Americas. After the maintenance has concluded, all items mentioned below will be live—specific dates for any content going live afterward are provided below.

FEATURE UPDATES
Essence Transfer While Changing Gear
We are introducing a new Gear Transfer menu where you can preview what is being transferred to your new item. If you’ve already unlocked the Essence Transfer feature, you’ll automatically have access to this preview feature.
Developer’s Note: We wanted to include this feature to allow players to quickly use a better item after earning it even if it doesn’t have their preferred stats. Our goal is to help you earn better items and reduce the amount of visits made to vendors.
Increased Stash Tabs with Boon of Plenty
For Players that seek the rewards from the Boon of Plenty, basking in the glow of these rewards will now grant an additional Stash tab. If you stop using the Boon of Plenty after accessing it, your items located within will be available in a separate stash that players can access for 30 days giving them time to retrieve these items.
Battlegrounds Rank Increase Improvements
Based off player feedback, we’ve decided to change the scoring for matches played at the Bronze rank to help you rank up more quickly. Even if you lose a Battleground match while at the Bronze rank, you’ll still receive some points.
Angmet’s Conflagration Set Bonus Changes
The Item set bonus for Angmet’s Conflagration Ignite Fire can trigger almost endlessly, activated by damage-over-time effects from Gems and other items. To avoid the set bonus triggering endlessly, we are changing the Set bonus from Ignite Fire to now only trigger from skills and basic attacks.
