This is another yearly recurring event that will be included for Reaper of Souls/Adventure Mode by Blizzard for Diablo III. Note, this will only be available on January every year.

So far, after testing it on PTR, here is a summary of it:

• There will be specific Achievements on your Achievements list for doing things such as killing Uniques that only spawn within the event, starting the entire event with a level 1 character, etc.
• Limited Transmogs of items
• Old items will drop (but with crappy stats) such as Plates, Quarter Staffs, etc. for those who have played Diablo I
• The graphics and slight stutter makes it feel like a retro 16-bit game
• the levels are a lot more straightforward than the actual Diablo I's by comparison
• You will have to run multiple times to complete the achievements
• Certain achievements give you Portrait, Banner patterns, and pets

So that's the summary from my testing. Nice addition but I think they could do better with the PTR patch, it's too focused on this limited-time event.

Just give me the Necromancer.
The rest is secondary.

Thanks for sharing though.

How OP is that red soulstone leg gem?

It's not. It causes your character to stay-still, similarly in the state of being Stunned to unleash the ring of fire (similar to Diablo II's Diablo Ring of Fire attack), and procs randomly.

So halfway trying to teleport to town and this proc, you will be interrupted. Damage-wise, so-so, secondary effect is useless in a competitive scenario.

Saw this.

For some reasons, I feel that Blizzard deliberately insert this just to tell the trolls how fugly image it was.

The event is up now, and I got my Butcher pet.

I killed all elites and dark lord.
No pet found. Only a new gem found.

Where did you get yours?

OK. Many thanks. I just whacked using my existing char.

Also, Cultist pages are tradeable.

If you guys found multiple ones, it would be nice to save em up and trade with your friends.

damn... i have been doing it wrong... i blitz thru using my existing toon...

Season already start ka? why i unable to create seasonal character ?

it's 6 January for US, so probably tomorrow for us.

Oh. So the event is not season, i thought its season tho,thank you for the info.

I have complete 7 pages of Cultist's page @ non-seasonal char.

Let me know if you need it.

it's funny that the pages are tradeable in non-season, but account bound in season. but the tradeoff is you can find the cultist everywhere.

do u still have it?
i only got 3 of them

Already dumped it. It's easy to get all 7 pages.
Therefore I don't see a point to keep it.

Just make few runs at festering woods will do.
