Upcoming Lunar Awakening Event Scheduled for February 6
Blizzard has recently unveiled an exciting holiday event called Lunar Awakening, set to take place from February 6th at 10 a.m. PST until February 20th at 10 a.m. PST. This limited-time event will immerse players in both Seasonal and Eternal Realms in the splendor and bliss of the Lunar Awakening celebration. The shrines of Sanctuary will be imbued with a mysterious and magnificent power, believed to be the blessings of ancestors from beyond the grave. Participants will have the opportunity to identify and activate Lunar Shrines throughout various locations and activities in Sanctuary, earning them incredible bonuses and the esteemed Ancestors Favor reputation.
Embracing the Lunar Awakening
To fully partake in the festivities of Lunar Awakening, players are advised to venture to Ked Bardu and proceed to the Northern section of the town. Here, they will come across Ying-Yue, the esteemed leader of the Lunar Night Market. This bustling market acts as the central hub for the Lunar Awakening event, serving as the place where participants can redeem their hard-earned Ancestor's Favor reputation for a wide array of lavish Lunar Renewal themed rewards.
Discovering Lunar Shrines
Lunar Shrines can be found in abundance throughout Sanctuary, whether within dungeons or out in the open world. In your quest to activate these shrines and dispatch the hordes of monsters along the way, you will steadily accumulate copious amounts of Ancestors Favor reputation. These Lunar Shrines can be easily identified by their appearance, featuring a magnificent dragon adornment to represent the Lunar Awakening celebration. Furthermore, they possess a unique map icon, making them effortlessly recognizable even from afar.
Nightmare Dungeon Sigils and Ancestor's Favor Affix
During Lunar Awakening, players have the chance to encounter a special Ancestor's Favor dungeon affix on Nightmare Dungeon Sigils. This affix guarantees that only Lunar Shrines will spawn within that particular dungeon. Apart from the increased number of shrines, players will also receive a bonus of 10% Glyph XP upon completing the dungeon. The significant aspect is that all Nightmare Dungeon Sigils with the Ancestor's Favor Affix will retain this attribute even after the conclusion of the event, allowing participants to stockpile them for future use.
The Power of Lunar Shrines
Lunar Shrines possess an enchanting and formidable power that captivates participants. Believers of the Lunar Awakening celebration consider this power to be the manifesting spirits of their ancestors, manifesting themselves to commemorate this special occasion. These shrines function similarly to regular shrines, but with an extra touch to elevate the festivities.
Here are the augmented effects of Lunar Shrines:
| Lunar Shrine | Effect |
|---|---|
| Artillery Shrine | Chance to summon a holy bomb with every cast. |
| Blast Wave Shrine | Explosions summon a cluster bombardment. |
| Channeling Shrine | Increased attack speed and chance for cooldown resets. |
| Conduit Shrine | Summon frequent, powerful, shocking strikes. |
| Greed Shrine | Chance to summon a Treasure Goblin. 25 kills summons the first, and 50 kills summons a second. |
| Lethal Shrine | Chance to instantly execute struck monsters, causing fear in surrounding ones. Note: Excludes Bosses and Players. |
| Protection Shrine | Reflect all incoming damage (Damage reflected scales with Level and World Tier). |
In addition to these amplified effects, Miserly spirits will appear immediately upon the activation of a Lunar Shrine. These spirits provide players with an opportunity to capitalize on the shrine's specific gameplay augmentation. Moreover, Lunar Awakening themed Whisper bounties are available throughout the event, offering participants an excellent chance to earn more Ancestors Favor reputation while fulfilling the wishes of the Tree of Whispers.
Celebrate in Style with Lunar Garments
Participants in Lunar Awakening will have the opportunity to earn 10 levels of Ancestors Favor reputation. These levels will unlock six distinct Lunar-themed cosmetic rewards. Additionally, Lunar Awakening-themed garments will be available for purchase in Tejal's shop, allowing players to clothe their characters in attire befitting this joyous occasion. So get ready to celebrate alongside Ying-Yue and bask in the radiant glow of Lunar Awakening when it commences on February 6th!
