The next patch for Diablo 4 will make Season 2 even better tomorrow

As promised, Blizzard has revealed the full details of Patch 1.2.1 for Diablo 4. This is the second major patch following the release of the highly acclaimed Season of Blood.

After revealing the highlights of the patch earlier this month, players were already looking forward to it, and with good reason.

The two biggest new additions in 1.2.1 are the ability to reset the entire Paragon board and a training dummy. Paragon Board Reset allows you to refund the entire amount in one click instead of having to perform each operation individually.

You can find the training dummy in Kyovashad in an underground room. The training room itself offers a few options for interacting with the dummy, including spawning multiple of them and setting the difficulty level to match that of normal, elite, or boss monsters. To make it easier to access your best gear, you’ll find a hideout right in the same room.

Blizzard also makes the Whispers grind more efficient and slightly more rewarding. Completing Whispers now earns more gold. The search area for the Whispers, which require finding and killing a specific monster, has also been reduced.

Those currently enjoying their time with the new Season of Blood content will be happy to know that Blood Wells will feature more powerful blood and that Vampire Powers are now a little less cryptic (which is also for… whose revaluation applies).

The rest of the patch notes cover various bug fixes for Season of Blood, as well as other issues elsewhere in the game. Read them all below:
