As Diablo 4 Season 6 enters the middle of the season, the developers have introduced Patch 2.0.5, which includes a series of class balance, patch fixes and new activities, and the recent developer Campfire Chat is the main reveal of the content of this update.

In this live event, besides some new class changes, the most attention is the new buff activity for returning players, Welcome Back Boost. However, it should be noted that this Welcome Back Boost is a limited-time event and is only for Eternal Realm players. If you seize the opportunity, this event is definitely a great opportunity for you to get a quick boost in the endgame.

In this guide, we will talk about this Welcome Back Boost, including what specific benefits it provides and how you can use it to maximize its effectiveness. Without further ado, let’s get started!

What Is Welcome Back Boost For?

Boost To Level 50

Welcome Back Boost allows players’ Eternal Realm characters to reach level 50. To activate this Boost, you need to first visit Tavern in Kyovashad and interact with Fated Reliquary here with your chosen character.

Select A Build

You can then choose one of the three builds here for your chosen class character and equip the appropriate legendary gear for this build. If you have already reached level 50, you will still receive the legendary gear and build options suitable for your class and complete the relevant skill trees.

Unlock All Altars Of Lilith

What’s more, with Welcome Back Boost, you will unlock all Altars of Lilith, at least for Eternal Realm players.

Currently, there are 160 Altars of Lilith in Diablo 4. Unlocking these altars will not only improve your character Renown at the fastest speed but also optimize your character’s stats to a certain extent. Therefore, unlocking these Altars of Lilith also means that you can completely unleash the maximum potential of your character.

It is worth noting that the benefits brought by unlocking Altars of Lilith are account-wide. That is, after you unlock Altars for one character, other characters can also benefit from it. So, usually you only need to take the time to unlock it once. If you have already unlocked all Altars of Lilith, this Boost may not be of much use to you, but for some new players, this Welcome Back Boost is an excellent opportunity for you to catch up with all other players as soon as possible.

Before the release of Diablo 4 Season 6 mid-season patch, unlocking Altars of Lilith with one character can directly affect all characters in Eternal Realm and the new Seasonal Realm. But because the current Welcome Back Boost is only for characters in Eternal Realm, if you use this Boost event to unlock Altars of Lilith, you may also need to unlock all Altars in Seasonal Realm. Of course, as usual, you only need to unlock it once.

Unlocking Altars of Lilith in this way can save you a lot of time and gold, but Eternal Realm players lack the experience of tracking Altars, which is a big pity for some collectors.

Materials Rewards

In addition, Welcome Back Boost offers a ton of rewards for all returning players, including 1 million Diablo 4 Gold, 1000 Obols, 1 Scroll of Amnesia, and Crafting Materials.

How To Use Welcome Back Boost?

If you only own Diablo 4 base game and don’t own Vessel of Hatred DLC, you can only unlock 1 Welcome Back Boost, and if you pre-order DLC, you can unlock a second Boost.

You can use the buffs you get from Welcome Back Boost on any character in Eternal Realm, but make sure you use them correctly, as they disappear once used.

Please note that if you use the buffs on a character that has already reached level 50 and has received endgame gear, you will not receive the additional buffs. You can use these buffs on characters that you want to use to play Diablo 4 DLC but need to upgrade to level 50, or on old season characters in Eternal Realm that have not yet reached endgame.

If you own DLC but have not yet completed the base game activities, this Welcome Back Boost will be a great convenience for you. You can start your adventure without skipping the game content.

The above is a general introduction to Welcome Back Boost. I hope it's helpful to you. If you are interested, please pay attention to the event time and don’t miss this opportunity to get an enormous boost in the game. I wish you a merry game.
