Diablo 4: How Reliquaries Work in Season 8

With the launch of Diablo 4 Season 8, Blizzard has introduced a new progression system called Reliquaries- a reimagined take on Diablo 4 Items the traditional battle pass. While it still offers plenty of cosmetics and premium currency, Reliquaries provide players more flexibility in how they unlock and collect rewards. Whether you're new to the system or just want to know how to optimize your rewards, here's a breakdown of how Reliquaries work in Diablo 4.

What Are Reliquaries?

Reliquaries replace the old Battle Pass system but serve a similar purpose: distributing seasonal cosmetics, mounts, and Platinum as players progress through content. The key differences are:

Diablo 4 Items are separated into themed categories (Reliquaries) instead of being unlocked via linear tiers.
Players spend a new in-game currency called Favor Tokens to unlock items inside each Reliquary.
Most items are premium (Platinum required), but some free rewards are still available.

Each Reliquary contains several items. Once you unlock everything inside a single Reliquary, you'll receive a bonus item for free- no extra Favor Tokens needed.

Season 8 Reliquaries: Belial's Return

In Season 8, Belial's Return, players have access to several Reliquaries:

Belial's Return- Free
Weapons- 200 Platinum
Beasts- 500 Platinum
Armor- 800 Platinum

Rather than buying the entire pass up front, you can pick and choose which Reliquaries to unlock, making it easier to focus on the cosmetics you care about. However, if you want everything to buy Diablo 4 Items, the total Platinum cost is 1,000, just like the Premium Battle Pass from Diablo 4 admissions previous seasons.
