Put another way, players cannot pay for Smoldering Ash via battle pass tier skips. Therefore, those who purchase tier skips will still get cosmetics but cannot get power level benefits as they must complete the prerequisites of the free battle pass to earn Smoldering Ash. Blizzard remains adamant that the premium battle pass and game contain no 'pay to power' mechanics. As an in-game currency, Smoldering Ash is designed to prevent players from being able to simply pay real-world money to purchase Season Blessings by purchasing tier skips. However, the free pass is also tied to an element called Smoldering Ash, which players can use to purchase Season Blessings.

The free battle pass, open to all players, consists of cosmetics and additional rewards. If you opt to purchase the battle pass later in the season, any progression you've already made through the season will apply retroactively. Players willing to shell out for the Premium battle pass will get plenty of cosmetic rewards, including two full armor sets, a seasonal mount, and mount armor.

Players who do not purchase tier skips can expect to spend about 80 hours leveling the battle pass throughout the season, which should last about three months. The free track contains 27 tiers, while the paid track contains 90 total tiers. However, it's important to know that tier skips apply only to cosmetics and do not confer any leveling benefits. The Diablo 4 Accelerated battle pass contains all benefits of the Premium battle pass, grants 20 free battle pass tier skips, and also gives players a special cosmetic, all for around $25. The free pass is open to all demon hunters who own the game, while the Diablo 4 Premium battle pass will cost $10 for the season. The Diablo 4 battle pass consists of a free base pass and optional paid pass. Watch on YouTube How much does the Diablo 4 battle pass cost? Manage cookie settings What is the best class in Diablo 4?
