The Diablo 4 Mother's Blessing weekend is the very first in-game event set to go live shortly. While it won't have any storyline implications, players will be able to earn hefty rewards and bonuses during this event. With many complaining about the exorbitant amount of gold required to reroll stats in the game, this event comes as a breath of fresh air.

Having said that, here's everything players need to know about the Diablo 4 Mother's Blessing weekend.


When does the Diablo 4 Mother's Blessing weekend start?

The Diablo 4 Mother's Blessing weekend is scheduled to start on September 1 at 10 am PDT and is expected to last till September 5 at 10 am PDT. Players will receive a 25% bonus XP and gold for slaying monsters during this event. It will be available to everyone who's purchased the game, irrespective of the editions.

This 25% gold and XP bonus will be available across both the realms and all tiers. So beginners can use this event to quickly reach level 50 and above. Players already at a higher level should ideally use this event to stock up on gold. Rerolling item stats can be an expensive process, so it's ideal to get some extra gold.

It's currently unclear if the Diablo 4 Mother's Blessing weekend will return at a later date. But seeing how the community responds to this event will be interesting. Since this is the game's first event, it might draw in some of the players who parted ways to explore other titles.


How to get bonus XP and Gold rewards during the Diablo 4 Mother's Blessing weekend

You don't need to do anything special to get these rewards in the game. While the event is active, all you need to do is play the game as you normally would. You will see the rewards rolling in whenever you slay any enemy when the event is active.

Although Mother's Blessing weekend might fix some of the in-game economy issues, problems regarding the limited amount of Platinum in the season pass or the high cost of the cosmetics in the item shop are yet to be addressed.

While Blizzard has yet to fix these issues, solutions might arrive next season. Dubbed the Season of Blood, the game's upcoming season is scheduled to go live on October 17, 2023, the day when Season of the Malignant comes to a close. There will be new powers, characters, and a fresh storyline once the corresponding updates go live.
