How to Earn the Orichalcum Collection and Access the Season Content in Diablo 4
The second season of Diablo 4, called Season of Blood, starts on October 17, 2023. The season will feature a new questline that revolves around a vampire hunter named Erys, voiced by actress Gemma Chan.

How to Access the Season Content
To access the season content in Diablo 4, players need to meet some requirements and create a new seasonal character. The requirements are:
• Have an online expansion character that has completed or skipped the campaign.
• Have an active subscription to Diablo Plus or Diablo Prime.
To create a new seasonal character, players need to select the Seasonal Realm option during character creation. This will start the character at level one and allow them to play through the seasonal content. The seasonal content includes:
• A new questline that follows Erys and her hunt for vampires.
• New vampiric powers that can be used to enhance the character's performance.
• Five new endgame bosses that offer higher rewards and challenges.
• Some quality-of-life improvements include inventory management for Diablo 4 gems and status effect changes.
Players can also access features from their previous characters in the Seasonal Realm, such as their mount, Altars of Lilith progress, map exploration progress, and Renown points.
When the season ends, the seasonal character will be transferred to the Eternal Realm, where they can continue playing with their items and progress. However, some features will be lost or changed in the Eternal Realm, such as their vampiric powers, target farming progress, Sundering ability, and seasonal achievements.
The Season of Blood is a great opportunity for players to experience new content and challenges in Diablo 4. Whether they are solo players or co-op players, they will find something to enjoy in this season. They can also earn the Orichalcum Collection by watching Diablo 4 streams on Twitch and showing off their style. So don't miss this chance to join the hunt for the vampires and their master.
