Diablo 3: Patch 2.5.0 brings wardrobe and archaic items

On the PTR server of Diablo 3, you can currently try out the new patch 2.5.0, which brings new features to the game.

In patch 2.5.0 for Diablo 3, there will be several changes aimed at improving the game. Among them are features like the Armory or special stash spaces that the D3 community has been looking forward to for some time. Players can use the Armory to save different builds of a character and change them “at the touch of a button.” A special stash space for crafting materials is intended to ease the burden on the loot chests.

Diablo 3 Patch 2.5.0 Patch Notes

In the patch notes, Blizzard shows the preliminary changes of the new patch. These changes are not yet in the final version and may therefore still be modified before being activated on the live servers.

General Changes: Armory and Special Stash Spaces

• New Feature – Armory in Diablo 3: 
• With the Armory, you can now save up to five different builds per character.
• The feature can be found in the towns of each Act.
• When you save a build, a snapshot of the character is created. This includes the current equipment, socketed gems, active and passive skills, as well as properties from Kanai’s Cube.
• If you activate a build that is saved in the Armory, the corresponding items and equipment are automatically swapped between the character and the loot chest.

• 

  New Feature – Stash Spaces for Crafting Materials in Diablo 3:
• With patch 2.5.0, looted or salvaged crafting materials will be stored in a special stash space.
• This special stash space can be accessed via the inventory window.

Item Changes in Patch 2.5.0

• Ancient Items / Primal Ancient Items:
• Legendary and set items can now be rolled into ancient items through crafting.
• These items are even rarer than old items and can achieve higher values.
• The Barber
• This weapon is now a ceremonial knife and is no longer a dagger. This allows it to deal the same damage as other witch doctor items.
• The damage bonus from the last explosion has been reinstated.
• Manald Healing
• Wizard companions, like the Hydra, will now also trigger the damage aspect of Manald Healing when they attack a target.
• (This change will appear in a future PTR patch)

Adventure Mode

• Bounties in Diablo 3:
• The bonus act has been removed.
• Due to this change, you will receive a large horadric chest when you complete five bounties in an act. This chest then contains the same rewards as horadric chests and reward caches.
