Patch 2.4.0 Preview - Items and Sets
Along with an issue of extracted powers in the Kanai's Cube disappearing
Patch 2.4.0 is currently on the Public Test Realm, and we’re introducing over fifty new Legendary items and powers for you to collect. Here’s a first look at some of the incredible new loot coming soon in Patch 2.4.0!
Updated Sets
Several class sets are receiving significant revisions in Patch 2.4.0, including a couple that are expanding from 4 to 6 pieces, like the Thorns of the Invoker and The Shadow’s Mantle.
Other sets, like Armor of Akkhan or Firebird’s Finery, are receiving a bit more power to make them more comparable to other high-performance options.
While some sets are simply receiving adjustments, like the addition of new skills to their bonuses or adjustments to damage values, others are being completely redesigned.
New and Updated Legendary Items
Patch 2.4.0 will also have a ton of new and updated Legendary items. While some are designed to augment the class sets we’ve redesigned or revisited, there are plenty aimed to enhance class skills that previously lacked complementary Legendaries.
That’s not all—for the players who want to seek power beyond 6-piece sets, we’ve got just the thing for you. The revisited Legacy of Nightmares (or the “no set†set, as we like to call it) allows you to make your wildest build dreams a reality, boosting damage and defense for every Ancient item equipped as long as no other set bonuses are equipped.
Seasonal Rewards
As you may have heard, we’re removing Season-exclusive Legendaries from the game. However, there are still plenty of rewards in store for those of you who enjoy starting fresh! By the time you complete Chapter 4 of the Season Journey, you will be guaranteed a full six-piece set for your class.
The featured class sets for Season 5
You will receive two pieces at a time via Haedrig’s Gift, a new reward mailed directly to you after completing certain milestones in the Season Journey. But be careful - each gift can only be earned once, so choose wisely when you open these precious packages! The items you receive will be determined by the class who opens them.
In addition to guaranteed class sets, we’re continuing our tradition of rewarding cosmetics for Seasonal participation. Take a peek at the unique pet and portrait frames you can earn in Season 5!
These items (and plenty more) are headed your way in Patch 2.4.0, but you can test them right now by joining us on the PTR. We’ll see you there!
.@Tremizzie @_JohnYang @donvu4u yes! This is part of the visual pass to make things a little less busy and easier to see more dangerous FX.

— John Yang (@_JohnYang) December 16, 2015Update: As noted in the updated support posts below, the issue arises if players try to rollback to the improper timeframe. Be sure to select a time before December 17th at 4:00pm PDT, to restore the Kanai Cube's powers.
At this time it is recommended that players impacted by this issue perform a self-service rollback prior to December 17th at 4:00pm PDT to restore their cube extractions. A rollback can be initiated by visiting https://us.battle.net/support/en/rollback/d3/.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding.
We apologize for the frustration this may have caused! If you have trouble executing the rollback, our Customer Support teams may be able to assist. Please open a ticket and we'll take a look!
