As Diablo 4 continues to evolve, Blizzard is committed to ensuring that every new feature, balance change, and system update is thoroughly tested before being implemented in the live game. With the upcoming 2.0 PTR (Public Test Realm), players will have access to a powerful new tool: the Boost NPC located in Kyovashad. This NPC is designed to streamline the testing process, allowing players to quickly prepare their characters and dive into the latest content and changes.
Before you even step into the PTR, Blizzard has made it easier by copying your existing characters over to the PTR servers. This ensures that you can continue your adventures with familiar characters, although some of their items may be outdated due to recent changes. Here’s what will carry over to the PTR from your main account:
This copied progress helps maintain continuity and allows you to focus on testing the new features and content rather than starting from scratch.
The Boost NPC in Kyovashad is your one-stop shop for instant character enhancements. This NPC provides a suite of powerful options to help you get your character ready for testing in record time. Here’s what you can do with the Boost NPC:
Level to Max:
Complete the Map:
Complete Your Class Mechanic:
Unlock All Torment Tiers:
Fully Upgrade Your Potion:
Max All Aspects:
Max All Paragon Glyphs:
Generate Legendaries:
Grant All Uniques:
Grant All Runes:
Grant All Temper Manuals:
Grant All Materials, Gold, and Obols:
Upgraded Potions:
Fully Unlocked Paragon Glyphs:
These options can be activated individually or all at once, giving you full control over how you prepare your character for the PTR.
The Boost NPC will be available starting September 6, marking the beginning of the 2.0 PTR. However, for the initial phase of testing, Blizzard aims to gather feedback on the natural gameplay experience without any modifiers. This means players are encouraged to explore and engage with the content organically before utilizing the Boost NPC’s features.
The Boost NPC is a crucial tool for PTR testing, especially given the scale of changes coming in the 2.0 update. By providing instant access to max-level characters, fully upgraded gear, and all the necessary resources, the Boost NPC allows players to focus on what truly matters: testing and providing feedback on the game’s new content and mechanics.
Whether you’re a veteran tester or new to the PTR, the Boost NPC in Kyovashad is your gateway to efficient and effective testing. Get ready to dive into the latest challenges Diablo 4 has to offer, armed with the best tools and resources at your disposal.
