Players who accomplish this will have all Ethereal transmogrify options available for future seasonal and non-seasonal play.

Collecting all 21 Ethereals during Season 24 will reward players with the Feat of Strength, Ethereal Recollection.

Ethereals cannot be Enchanted, Transmogrified, Dyed, Reforged, or traded.

Legendary Powers and Class Passive Skills rolled on Ethereals do not stack with the same power equipped through KanaiвЂ™s Cube, Items or Skills.

Only one Ethereal can be equipped at a time.

Each Ethereal has fixed affixes and rolls one random Legendary Weapon power and one random Class Passive Skill.

There are 3 unique Ethereals per class.

Ethereal rarity drop rate is set between Ancient and Primal items.

Ethereals cannot be acquired through KanaiвЂ™s Cube or from Kadala.

Ethereals are account bound and can only be dropped by monsters, chests, and destructibles, but do not require your character to be level 70 to drop.

For additional details on Ethereals, check out the list below: Ethereals will have unique icons, names, item types, and sounds originally found in Diablo II. Ethereals will roll a powerful set of affixes, a random Class Weapon Legendary PowerВ and a random Class Passive Power. New Season Theme:В Season 24 introduces Ethereals, a new weapon-type that players will be able to acquire and hunt for in their upcoming seasonal journey. The idea of spending all season hunting for these new items, knowing they wonвЂ™t be available to you after Season 24 ends does make me wonder if they will have a reasonable drop rate, though.ДЇor more information on Ethereal items, check out this post on the Season 24 PTR.

Overall, the Ethereal theme isnвЂ™t a stock recreation of the old Diablo 2 mechanic but an interesting way to bring some of the flavor back as a Season theme while also making it feel new and unique. You wonвЂ™t be dual wielding Ethereals as only one can be equipped at a time, which is sad, but it does help to keep them feeling like a specific SeasonвЂ™s theme and not just a new kind of gear for everyone to collect. Unlike the original Ethereals which had reduced durability and could break - rendering them useless as they couldnвЂ™t be repaired unless they were self repairing and couldnвЂ™t self repair if broken - Etheral weapons in Diablo 3 will ignore durability damage entirely and wonвЂ™t ever break, but will be removed from your character as soon as the Season is over. Ethereal weapons will have both a random Class Legendary Power and a Class Passive Power, with each class having three unique Ethereal weapons, for a total of 21 Ethereal weapons in all. In Season 24, youвЂ™ll get Ethereal items as weapons and weapons only, while in Diablo 2 you could get Etheral weapons and Ethereal armor. ItвЂ™s an interesting way to bring a Season Theme back after not having one for Season 23. This replicates the perishable nature of the original Ethereal items, while also making these Ethereal drops the basis of the entire Season and its theme. Once the Season is over, you wonвЂ™t be able to use them even on characters who you originally played during a season - they will not transfer along with all of your other gear and items when the season ends.

Instead of bringing back the lower durability from Diablo 2, Ethereal weapons in Diablo 3 will be limited to seasonal play. Back in Diablo 2, Ethereal items had reduced durability and could not be conventionally repaired, meaning that they were powerful but could be reduced to the point where they were completely unusable - although this could be mitigated by using the Zod Rune, which made weapons, including Ethereal ones, indestructible.Д«ut for Diablo 3 Season 24, Ethereal items will be different than they were in Diablo 2. If you remember Ethereal items from Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction, you may already be familiar with the basics of Diablo 3вЂs upcoming Season 24, which brings the Ethereal back to the franchise.
