Patch 2.5.1 (Releasing Dec 18)
This update kicks off the holiday event and fixes several critical bugs from the Season 11 launch.
1. New Event: Goblin Greedings
Starts: December 18
Ends: January 6, 2026
What it is: Treasure Goblins will spawn more frequently and drop “Holiday Loot Bags.”

Goblin Square: A new area in Kyovashad where you can claim cache rewards.

2. Balance & Systems
Glyph Upgrades (Buff):
Divine Gift Scaling: Your chance to get an extra Glyph upgrade attempt now scales with your Divine Gift rank (Rank 1 = 25% chance, Rank 5 = 100% chance).
Purified Gifts: These now grant 2 Glyph levels instead of 1.
Season Journey: The objective requiring a “Pit Tier 40” clear has been lowered to Pit Tier 35.
Sanctification: Tooltips for Heavenly Sigils have been updated to make sanctification requirements clearer.
3. Critical Bug Fixes
“Arbiter of Justice” Speed Fix: Fixed a bug where the Arbiter of Justice aspect was granting significantly more movement speed than intended. (Expect your character to feel slower if you relied on this).
World Boss One-Shots: Fixed the “Thorns Reflection” bug where players were instantly dying to World Bosses (like Azmodan) because their own Thorns damage was reflecting back at them.
Safe Zones: Added clearer audio cues for safe zones in the Vault of the Crucible dungeon.
Current Status (Dec 17)
Version: You are currently playing on Patch 2.5.0 (Hotfix 1).
Season 11: “Season of Divine Intervention” is live.
Note: If you are seeing weird behavior with Thorns builds on World Bosses today, avoid them until tomorrow’s patch fixes the reflection bug.
