The Diablo 4 Lunar Awakening event is a limited-time celebration of the Lunar New Year 2024. Whether in the Eternal or Seasonal realms, players can participate to earn some unique rewards. So, if you're interested in earning some fantastic event-themed ornaments, consider playing this event.

In this article, we'll go over everything you need to know about starting the Lunar Awakening event, including its mechanics and rewards.


When is the Diablo 4 Lunar Awakening event going to end?

The Diablo 4 Lunar Awakening event kicks off on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, and will continue until February 20, 2024.

Follow these steps to start it:

  • Head to the town of Ked Bardu.
  • Find and talk to Ying-Yue.
  • After talking, you can head out to find Lunar Shrines.

Here are the new additions and features in the Lunar Awakening event:

  • Additional XP
  • Increased movement speed
  • Unique shrine-dependent variants

Diablo 4 Lunar Awakening Shrines and Ancestral Favors, explained

Once you start the Lunar Awakening event, you'll find Lunar Shrines throughout the Sanctuary. These differ from regular shrines as they come with a dragon head. Look for the purple asterisk on the minimap to see these shrines.

After finding one, interact with the Lunar Shrine to start an event. This event comes with mastery objectives, like protecting the Lunar Celebrants and cleansing Lunar Shrines from miserly spirits. These Lunar Shrines will also provide you with some benefits, including:

  • 50% XP Gain per Monster Kill
  • 30% Movement Speed
  • Power Bonus
  • Event Reputation per Monster Kill

Upon completing this event, you will get Ancestral Favor, which you can use to unlock themed loot or farm Glyph XP in Diablo 4.

This Ancestral Favor also has a reputation progress bar up to Tier 10, comprising unique rewards you can claim from Ying-Yue. The best way to farm this Ancestral Favor reputation is by defeating enemies while blessed by the Lunar Shrine. So, every time you find a Lunar Shrine, remember to use them as they are the quickest way of earning Ancestral Favor.

However, you can also run various Dungeons with Ancestor's Favor to get Ancestral Favor in Diablo 4.

These rewards include,

  • Tier 1: 10,000 Gold + Greater Awakened Spoils cache
  • Tier 2: 25,000 Gold + Lunar Scepter wand cosmetic
  • Tier 3: 50,000 Gold + Greater Awakened Spoils cache
  • Tier 4: 75,000 Gold + The Dragon's Courage two-handed axe cosmetic
