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.

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.

Also, Cultist pages are tradeable.

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

I have a set, let me see if it's still not account-bound like the ones I picked for Seasonal. If it isn't, I'll loan it to you for the achievement, but do return it back.

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.

The event is over. It's only available every month of January.
