While I usually complete Chapter III of the Season Journey with little trouble, I tend to struggle with Chapter IV. In Season 12, I was very motivated to complete Chapter IV because I really wanted the wings and the portrait frame. My success was also due to my decision to play a Barbarian in Season 12. I’ve spent more time playing Barbs than any other class.
Chapter III of Season 12 went by really quickly. The reason why is simple. I was able to complete the majority of the Chapter III objectives long before I was able to unlock Chapter III.
Players can complete five objectives by finishing Bounties in each Act. You have to complete one set of Bounties in order to complete an objective in Chapter I. You also need to collect Legendary crafting materials in order to put things into the Horadric Cube – and the only way to get them is to complete a set of Bounties for each Act.
After completing Chapter I of the Season Journey, I decided to push myself to finish Chapter II as quickly as possible. Progress was made at a reasonably fast rate… until I hit Level 60. For whatever reason, the grind from Level 60 to Level 70 took longer than I wanted it to.
One thing that helped speed up my progress through Chapter II was that I’d already completed a few of the objectives.
Season 12 began while I was taking lots of antibiotics and trying to recover from acute bacterial tonsillitis. This left me with much less energy than I expected, and I was unable to start Season 12 right away.
After thinking it over, I decided to play a softcore Barbarian in Season 12. I’ve spent more hours playing a Barbarian than playing any other class. Playing a softcore character would allow me to make mistakes – without having to start over at level 1.
My goal for Season 12 is to get those lovely, dark, wings that are offered as one of the rewards.
