War Plans are getting a lot of changes in Diablo 4 Season 16, but the new tactics tree is not the only addition.

Instead of seasonal powers, we get something pretty original for once. Blizzard is adding Tyreal's Boons. This is a new Season-themed War Plan tree that allows you to tailor your War Plan rewards and activities for that Season.

For example, you can find things like bonus Seasonal reputation or currency, or reduced Obols costs.

All Seasonal players can access Tyreal's Boons! You do NOT need to own Lord of Hatred for this War Plan Tree.

It Does Not Replace Seasonal Blessings

We compared it to seasonal powers, but a more appropriate comparison would be seasonal blessings. These used to change with each season, giving you bonuses such as more reputation experience or more gold and obols.

Tyreal's Boons sort of take a similar role.

Season Blessings will become a static system with the same five Blessings each season. So when you complete your seasonal journey, you still earn Smoldering Ashes, and you can spend them on your Blessings.

And on top of the Season Blessings, you will now have access to Tyreal's Boons, and this is what will allow you to get the other "blessings," basically.

Four Different Paths

Tyreal's Boon lets you pick between 4 different Paths. You can earn up to 132 points, and that is enough to allow you to spec into all four paths. Technically, you get enough points to pick almost all the nodes or max out the ones you really want.

These paths will most likely change each season. In Season 16, these are the four paths:

• Curious Addition:

  • Modifies the Purveyor of Curiosities to increase chances for a second item

  • Offers either new item types or improves the chances for higher-quality items

  • You can also select an option to make the Purveyor far more expensive, but increase the likelihood of getting Ancestrals

• Merchant of Mystery:

  • Adds a new merchant at Torment difficulty selling caches for Forgotten Soul

  • Invest points to increase the chances of Ancestral Caches

  • Select a path to buy caches with Runes or Gems, or increase the amount and quality of Ancestral Caches

• Scent of Gold:

  • Increase the amount of gold and experience you get

  • One path also increases the number of Horadric Cube materials and Gem Fragments you find

  • The other improves monster drops of Gold and Gems

  • You can also increase your chances of finding a Legendary

• Trash for Treasure:

  • Transmuting costs at the Alchemist are reduced

  • You can choose to invest in a better chance for Forgotten Soul.

  • The first path gives more Obducite and Scroll of Restoration

  • The other gives monsters a chance to drop more Obducite and Salvage

  • At the end, salvaging Ancestral Items gives a chance to grant a Scroll of Restoration

  • It also opens a new Horadric Cube recipe, Greater Temper, which upgrades the Tempered Affix on an item to a Greater Affix for the cost of 30 Scroll of Restoration and 1,000 Obducite

You can respec points whenever you want, but to unassign one point, you need to pay 5,000,000 gold. So it can quickly cost a lot if you are picking random points.
