Diablo 3 Season 27 Update 2.7.3 Patch Notes
Below are details about Season 27’s Angelic Crucibles and other changes coming to Diablo 3’s 2.4.7 Update.
Season 27
Season 27 introduces an entirely new consumable item, the Angelic Crucibles. These heavenly artifacts, once discovered by Nephalem, can be used to Sanctify any equippable Legendary things. Sanctifying an object restores it to its Ancient-level stats and preserves the Legendary Power. This process also grants each class one of three unique powers.
Season Theme Details:
-
- Angelic Crucibles and Sanctified Items can only be acquired in Seasonal play and will not transfer to your non-seasonal character when the season ends.
-
- Angelic Crucibles can drop anywhere in Sanctuary at level 70.
-
- Players can obtain as many Sanctified items as they would like. However, only one Sanctified thing can be equipped at a time.
-
- Sanctified items can be Sanctified again using another Angelic Crucible.
-
- No stats are preserved when Sanctifying an item.
-
- Only level 70 equippable items can be Sanctified—crafted items cannot be Sanctified.

New Class-Specific Sanctified Powers
