Divine Gifts are one of the ways which players gain power in Diablo 4 Season 11. These offer minor but valuable bonuses to loot and materials to help fast-track your leveling experience. Additionaly, they can also be Purified or Corrupted, offering boons or banes depending on how you want to use them.
Thankfully, Divine Gifts are much simpler compared to previous Diablo 4 season mechanics, and if you want to know more about how these work, here’s a brief overview covering the important bits of info surrounding them.
How Do Divine Gifts Work in Diablo 4?
Divine Gifts are essentially equippable perks that grant you additional bonuses for your core progression and character stats. They come in the form of Essences tied to the Lesser Evils featured in Season 11. To view and equip Divine Gifts, open your inventory menu and select the button in the top-right corner. If you’re on mouse and keyboard, you can open this menu by pressing Shift + I.
When you equip a Divine Gift, you’ll earn rewards for certain activities. If you place a Divine Gift in the slot close to the middle of the wheel, it will become Purified and give you the effects of its Purified version. Meanwhile, if you place it at the outer edge of the wheel, you’ll get a Corrupted version, which will negatively affect you in some way.
Divine Gifts are earned by beating the Lesser Evils in their respective activities and bringing trophies to Hadriel in the Heavenly Forge. To rank them up, defeat the Lesser Evils again or farm their minions.
