With the changes to Smoldering Ashes and the Seasonal Journey coming with Season 8, some of these rewards were locked behind the final leg of the Seasonal Journeywhile the rewards are updated, players will see incorrect tooltips and information on the Season Journey until Blizzard releases a patch fixing the issue.

Hello all

We have made a change prior to Season 8 launch that will affect the way you obtain specific rewards associated with the Season Journey.

The prior reward structure held a good majority of Smoldering Ashes and the Seasonal Pet Reward (Iris) behind Chapter 7 of the Season Journey. We have made updates on the backend to redistribute these earlier in the Season Journey. These changes will be in effect immediately at the start of the Season 8 on April 29th. Due to the way this was updated prior to the start of the season, players will see incorrect tooltips and information on the Season Journey until we can get another client update out post Season 8 launch.

Below you will find the new updated values for Smoldering Ash per Chapter with this update:

Chapter II: 2 Ashes via Chapter completion
Chapter III: 2 Ashes via Chapter completion
Chapter IV: 3 Ashes via Chapter completion + 1 Ash via Chapter objective
Chapter V: 3 Ashes via Chapter completion + 1 Ash via Chapter objective
Chapter VI: 3 Ashes via Chapter completion + 1 Ash via Chapter objective
Chapter VII: 3 Ashes via Chapter completion + 1 Ash via Chapter objective

Iris, the new pet reward for Season 8, will now be available after completing Chapter VI as opposed to Chapter VII.

We believe these changes will make progression and earning Iris more accessible to players jumping into the new season. We will have more news once we have additional information on the client update to address the in-game tooltips to represent this change.

See you in Season 8 for Belial’s Return!

Screw that. I want my purple raven back! Why did they hide it behind t4? Make it come back and obtainable in t1!
