In a few days, likely on January 13th, Patch 2.4 is coming for Diablo 3. A professional gives tips on how you can prepare for it.
The Patch 2.4 is expected to arrive on January 13th. As a “Season player,” it is hardly possible to prepare for it, as you start over (2 days later). But for “Non-Season players,” that is, for everyone on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, there are some tips that a YouTuber has summarized.
Kanais Cube is hungry!
You should:
- level up all your gems as high as possible, as they can be used on items via a new recipe at Kanai’s Cube – through Caldesann’s Despair, ancient items receive extra status attributes, but you will need a high-level legendary gem, as you gain bonus points for each level above a certain value

- You should hoard crafting materials like crazy, as you can never have enough, especially the “Death’s Breath” will be in high demand again, for the cube recipe “Cain’s Hope,” with which you can create legendary items
- you also need a bunch of gems, as Caldesann’s Despair is involved here as well

- You should also hoard forgotten souls, for the recipe “Kull’s Law,” with which you can reroll legendary items
- Through the “Non-Set” set Legacy of Dreams, ancient legendary items are better than ever – thus you should obtain an ancient Hellfire Amulet, for example
