Diablo 4 Season 2: Season of Blood launched on October 17, 2023 as Patch 1.2.0 — the first full Battle Pass season after the launch-pass Vessel of Sin. The pass ran 90 tiers split into a 27-tier Free track and a 63-tier Premium track. The cosmetics were uniformly vampire-themed to match the season's Bloodlust powers and Lord Zir endgame boss: blood-spattered cloth, gold filigree, bat-wing motifs, and sealed helms across every class. This article is the historical archive of those armor sets.

Each track contributed its own armor identity to the season.
The Free track delivered the Fur-Lined armor set across all five classes available in Season 2. Despite its position on the Free track, the set was class-specific — each class received its own rendering of the Fur-Lined aesthetic. Common early-blog reports mis-described the Free track as "class-agnostic" because Battle Pass progress was account-wide. The cosmetics themselves were not.
The Fur-Lined theme leaned darker and rougher than the Premium set: heavy cloth and leather, fur-lined collars, muted reds and browns. It read as the "out in the wilds hunting vampires" counterpart to the gothic court-noble aesthetic the Premium track ran.
The Free set occupied tiers spread across the 27-tier Free track. Tier rate was modest but steady; players who finished the campaign and a couple of Helltide cycles before the season ended typically cleared the Free track without needing the Accelerated boost.
The Premium track stacked two armor sets. The Marrow set was the base premium cosmetic — vampire-court silhouette with blood-spattered cloth and gold filigree. Tier-up rewards then introduced Awoken Marrow, the class-specific premium upgrade, which layered additional bat-wing motifs, sealed helms with full-face coverage, and heavier gold filigree onto the same silhouette.
Awoken Marrow read as the "Lord Zir successor" aesthetic — a vampire knight stepping out of the Sanguine Lord encounter rather than a hunter chasing them. The set was visually busier than the base Marrow, particularly on the Necromancer and Rogue renderings.
Premium also unlocked cosmetic non-armor pieces: the Famished Thoroughbred mount (a gaunt black warhorse with red-veined plating) and the matching Marrow Plating mount armor in both base and Awoken variants. Players who took the Accelerated track also unlocked the Vampire's Repose emote.
Speculation pieces ahead of launch — including the original version of this article — assumed Blizzard would lean into class-specific fantasy (leaf motifs on Druid, arcane symbols on Sorcerer, intimidating face-plates on Barbarian, and so on). The shipped Season 2 sets went the opposite way: all five classes wore variants of the same vampire/gothic kit. Druids got bat wings rather than antlers. Sorcerers got sealed helms rather than glowing runes. Barbarians got gold-trimmed plate rather than primal pelts.
The uniform aesthetic served the season's framing — every character was a vampire hunter, every cosmetic looked the part. Subsequent seasons (Season 3 Construct, Season 4 Loot Reborn, Season 5 Infernal Hordes) leaned back toward per-class fantasy in their pass cosmetics; Season 2 stands out for the strict thematic discipline.
The linear Battle Pass model itself was retired with Vessel of Hatred (Patch 2.0, October 2024). The successor is the Reliquary system, which restructures cosmetic delivery around themed collections instead of a season-long tier track. Players who unlocked Fur-Lined, Marrow, or Awoken Marrow during Season 2 retained the cosmetics in their wardrobe; the sets did not return through Reliquary rotations.

Season 2 (Season of Blood) launched on October 17, 2023 as Patch 1.2.0. The Battle Pass ran for the full season and was retired with Season 2's end ahead of Season 3 (Season of the Construct, January 2024).
Three sets total. Fur-Lined on the Free track (class-specific despite the "Free" framing), Marrow as the base Premium set, and Awoken Marrow as the class-specific Premium upgrade. All three were rendered separately for each of the five classes available in Season 2.
No. This was the most common confusion in pre-launch coverage. Battle Pass progress was account-wide (you earned tiers on one character that unlocked cosmetics for all classes), but the cosmetics themselves were rendered per-class. Each class had its own Fur-Lined variant.
The standard Premium track cost 1,000 Platinum (roughly $10 USD at the in-game currency rate). The Accelerated track cost 2,800 Platinum and included a 20-tier skip plus the exclusive Vampire's Repose emote.
Beyond armor, Premium unlocked the Famished Thoroughbred mount (a gaunt black warhorse with red-veined plating) and the matching Marrow Plating mount armor in both base and Awoken variants. The Accelerated track added the Vampire's Repose emote on top.
No. The Season 2 Battle Pass closed when the season ended. The cosmetics did not return through the Reliquary system that replaced Battle Passes in Vessel of Hatred (Patch 2.0, October 2024). Players who unlocked the sets during Season 2 retained them in their wardrobe.
The Reliquary system, introduced with Vessel of Hatred in October 2024. Reliquaries restructure cosmetic delivery around themed collections rather than a linear tier track. The shift removed the fixed 90-tier grind in favour of selectable themed packs.
