Season Rank rewards are worth a look before you spend another evening collecting gold or browsing D4 items. The full track offers 14 Skill Points, 42 Paragon Points, 10 Resplendent Sparks and five Mythic Unique caches, plus a pet and a mount trophy. Getting there isn't a quick errand, though. The first seven ranks involve Waking Nightmare Capstones at rising difficulty, while the eighth calls for an Echo of Mephisto fight on Torment X. Check the next requirement before you settle in for a session.

Keep an Eye on the Calendar

The supplied season details don't include an official end date, so there's no fixed deadline to count on. The key dates described are: Season 15 launch September 15 Season 16 test realm October 27 to November 3. The test realm is for feedback, not a promise that the next season will launch when testing ends. Check the Reliquary countdown in the game as well; it's a useful reminder for its rewards, though it shouldn't be mistaken for an announced season end date.

Claim Rewards Before They Disappear

It's easy to focus on the next fight and forget to collect what you've already earned. Make a quick pass through Season Rank and the free Reliquary track. The latter includes a mount, mount armor, three weapons and a Town Portal. Unclaimed seasonal rewards are lost when the season closes. If a Season Journey chapter is only a few objectives away from completion, finish that too. You can earn Favor through regular play while working toward other goals, so you don't necessarily need a separate session for it.

Choose Your Remaining Goals

Season Rank progress is account-wide, so your strongest seasonal character can handle the tougher fights while another contributes elsewhere. There are nine ranks and more than 125 objectives. Some require the Lord of Hatred expansion, including objectives needed to complete the eighth rank, so check your options before committing to a long push. Hardcore players have another decision to make: a character that dies won't return when the season ends. If a Torment X attempt feels risky, consider whether the remaining rewards are worth it.

Get Ready for the Next Season

Seasonal characters move to the Eternal Realm when the season ends, but a fresh seasonal character starts without your old gold, materials or gear. Sort your stash with that in mind. Rebirth is another option: it resets an Eternal character to level 1 while keeping its class, name and appearance. You'll need to remove equipped gear and empty its inventory first. U4GM offers game currency and items, and players considering a purchase can browse u4gm D4 items while planning their next character. For now, leave enough time to claim rewards and finish any Splinter goals still on your list.
