Diablo IV Season 11: Divine Gifts and Sanctification Guide

Diablo IV Season 11 introduces some of the biggest system overhauls the game has seen to Diablo 4 Items date, and two new mechanics-Divine Gifts and Sanctification-sit at the center of Blizzard's redesigned seasonal loop. 

This guide breaks down everything you need to know. Below is a detailed, how Divine Gifts work, how to unlock and upgrade them, and how Sanctification transforms the final stage of item crafting.

What Are Divine Gifts in Diablo IV Season 11?

Divine Gifts are Season 11's primary reward-enhancing mechanic. After entering the new seasonal questline, the angel Hadriel sends you into Sanctuary to confront the Lesser Evils-Duriel, Andariel, Belial, and Azmodan-who are invading the world through corrupted domains.

Defeating these bosses grants Corrupted Essences, which Hadriel purifies into two Divine Gifts per boss. These Gifts can be slotted into either their Corrupted or Purified slot on the new Divine Gifts board.

Each Gift consists of:

A reward (Obols, Gold, Keys, Experience, etc.)
A Corrupted variant (extra challenge for normal rewards)
A Purified variant (no challenge + double reward)

The mechanic is extremely flexible: you can mix and match Corrupted and Purified Gifts depending on whether you want faster farming or greater challenge.

Unlocking Divine Gift Slots

Corrupted Gift slots unlock automatically when you defeat the associated Lesser Evil.

Purified Gift slots unlock through the new Divine Favor Season Reputation board:

Rank II: Duriel
Rank IV: Andariel
Rank VI: Azmodan
Rank VIII: Belial

Unlocking all Purified slots early dramatically accelerates XP, loot, and key farming-making it easier to buy Diablo 4 gold fuel crafting, Masterworking, and endgame builds with valuable Diablo 4 Items.
