Wowhead's January 18, 2024 Seneschal Planner Beta
Wowhead announced a beta Seneschal Stones planner before Diablo 4 Season 3 launched. Jezartroz's January 18, 2024 release report described a work in progress built from information gathered in screenshots. It was Wowhead's tool and database, rather than a WowCarry software release.
This page preserves that prelaunch snapshot. It explains what the planner was intended to organize, without treating its preview data as a tested final build or a description of the tool today.
How the Reported Beta Workflow Worked
The creator directed players to open a class planner, select the Seneschal Stones tab, choose a Governing or Tuning slot and select a stone from the left-hand list.
Wowhead said it planned a database update when Season of the Construct launched. That was an announced next step. The January 18 article alone does not establish when the update shipped, which values changed, or whether every proposed combination behaved as expected in the game.
Read Each Action with Its Own Three Supports
Blizzard's Season of the Construct overview defined two equipped Governing Stones, each with three Tuning Stones. Governing Stones selected the companion's actions; the Tuning Stones modified the action they supported.
| Companion layout | Slots attached to that action |
|---|---|
| First action | 1 Governing Stone + 3 Tuning Stones |
| Second action | 1 Governing Stone + 3 Tuning Stones |
The published collection contained 12 Governing and 27 Tuning Stones. Those were the pool to find, not the number simultaneously equipped. When reading an old plan, identify the action first, then the three supports attached to it; a list of six support names without that assignment loses important information.
A useful saved plan also needed the stone levels and the reason each support suited its action. A filled slot showed an intended selection. It did not prove an optimal combination, a damage result or a final interaction.
Where the Historical Links Lead
The original announcement linked Wowhead's Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue and Sorcerer planners. Present-day controls have not been verified here.
Season 3 began January 23, 2024 at 10:00 PST / 18:00 UTC. Blizzard described the Seneschal as accompanying players until that season ended. An archived companion plan therefore does not establish current-season availability.
For evaluating a community setup you intend to use now, the separate community-build guide covers version and dependency checks. This article remains the dated record of a prelaunch planner beta.
