Summary

  • Mother's Blessing in Diablo 4 boosts XP by 35% and gold by 50% until January 2.
  • The Slay Ride to Hell event also offers rewards like Resplendent Sparks, lasting until January 2.

The Mother's Blessing bonuses have returned to Diablo 4, increasing experience gains by 35% and gold rewards by 50%. Blizzard periodically gives Diablo 4 players the Mother's Blessing bonus rewards, with the current one lasting into 2025.

Since Diablo 4's Vessel of Hatred expansion was released, players have been exploring the new region of Nahantu, completing the Dark Citadel dungeon, and leveling up the Spiritborn class. Beyond the expansion, Blizzard also continues to add community events for all players to enjoy. The previous Diablo 4 event was during Halloween, in which players could earn the Recluse's Host Mount, mount armor, and two mount trophies. Slay Ride to Hell is the latest example, and it includes rewards like Resplendent Sparks, Undercity Tributes, and more. This event runs from December 17 to January 2 at 10:00 a.m., coincidentally lining up with the Mother's Blessing bonuses.

Diablo 4 announces a Spiritborn trial, during which players will be able to try out the new class in Blizzard's game free of charge.

The Diablo Twitter account recently confirmed that the Mother's Blessing has returned to Diablo 4 and will continue until January 2. According to the announcement, Mother's Blessing is already live, allowing anyone to earn more experience and gold when they boot up the game. Although the experience bonuses from Diablo 4's Mother's Blessing are locked at 35%, the gold rates are multiplicative. These benefits are tied to Seasonal and Eternal Realms, both of which have just begun the Slay Ride to Hell community event. There are just over two weeks before the Mother's Blessing and Slay Ride to Hell conclude, giving players a limited time to reap the rewards.

How Long Will Mother's Blessing Be Available in Diablo 4?

  • The Mother's Blessing will continue in Diablo 4 until January 2.

The Mother's Blessing may particularly benefit players participating in Diablo 4's Slay Ride to Hell as it tasks players with hunting holiday-themed Treasure Goblins. Beyond the gold and experience bonuses, there are also global milestones that unlock rewards for all players, including Legendary items, cosmetics, and more. As Diablo 4 has been part of many recent sales, including the latest Xbox Countdown, these experience and gold rate increases should bode well for new players. The in-game Shop is also offering four weapon cosmetics as free gifts that can be claimed during the event.

Given that Diablo 4 players only have a limited time to earn the Mother's Blessing bonuses, logging in during the next two weeks may be beneficial. As Blizzard continues to update Diablo 4, players will likely see another Mother's Blessing event in the future. Because the Mother's Blessing is uncommon, it's unclear when the next one will take place, and it may be a while.
