Chapter IV of the Season Journey in Season 7 included objectives that were different from the Season 6 version of Chapter IV. Things get changed around from one Season to the next, and I think that helps keep things interesting.
I completed Chapters I – III with very little difficulty. Chapter IV provided a challenge (and slowed down my progress a bit).
Players who reach Chapter III in the Season Journey (for Season 7) have hit Level 70 and more than likely have started working on their Paragon Points. Players start Chapter III with two of the set pieces offered by Haedrig’s Gift this Season.
I started Chapter III with three out of its ten objective already completed. I had no idea what Chapter III required. It’s possible to complete objectives for upcoming parts of the Season Journey just by playing the game and doing things you typically would do.
In Season 7, players needed to hit Level 35 before they could unlock Chapter II of the Season Journey. It is possible to accidentally complete some objectives in upcoming Chapters without intending to.
An “Achievement Toast” will pop up whenever a player completes a Season Journey objective. As always, some of the Chapter II objectives are the same as they were in Season 6, and some are new.
In addition to the Season Journey, there are also Season Achievements that players can work on. Some of the easiest ones to get are what I call the “Leveling Achievements”.
You can find this batch of Achievements in your Season Achievement board under the section called “General”. Players earn one of these Achievements starting when they hit Level 10 and ending when they hit Level 70.
Heralds of the New Dawn is the third part in a series of Achievements. Each part requires players to level up a certain number of characters to Level 60. It doesn’t matter what class the characters are, or if they happen to be hardcore or softcore characters. You can mix and match as you see fit.
This series of Achievements was part of the original Diablo III game when the highest level a character could reach was Level 60. (The Reaper of Souls expansion gave players the ability to level to 70).
Season 7 has begun! Each new Season gives players the opportunity to complete the Season Journey. One of my goals for Season 7 was to complete Chapters I – IV as quickly as I can. As such, I will be posting blogs about each Chapter as I complete them.
Season Rebirth first appeared in Diablo III right before Season 5. It allowed players to take any of their non-seasonal characters and put them into a brand new season.
You can rebirth up to three non-seasonal characters in one season. Previous to this, players had to create a new character each season.
Season Rebirth solves the problem of running out of character slots. I used Season Rebirth in Season 7 for the first time.
Doubtwalker is a short story that was released in 2012. It corresponded to something Blizzard was doing in the days before Diablo III was released. You can read Doubtwalker online (and download it as a PDF).
One of the Witch Doctor sets in Diablo III is called Zunimassa’s Haunt. The set is useful if you want to do a pet build.
Those who played a Witch Doctor in Season 6, and who completed certain objectives in the Season Journey, received the entire Zunimassa’s Haunt set. The pieces are obtainable through random drops, too.
Playing a Witch Doctor during Season 6 left me with a question. Who was Zunimassa?
Mehtan the Necromancer is an NPC (non-player character) that appears in Diablo III. It seems to me that some players are confusing Mehtan with other well known necromancers in Diablo lore (such as Zayl or Mendeln/Kalan).
Mehtan the Necromancer is a new character. You can find Mehtan the Necromancer in two different bounties/events in Diablo III.
