Target Content with Bonus Rewards using new Seasonal System in Diablo 4 Season 11

Seasonal Powers return to Diablo 4 Season 11, but with a twist: Instead of granting Player Power, Divine Gifts increase rewards from specific content. Divine Gifts work on a similar slot-based system to previous Seasonal Powers, but these have a twist involved with how they're activated, what their rewards are, and what they do to content in the game. Not only will World Content be more rewarding with this System, but players will get some agency over which rewards to target.

Season 11 Overview
There is some player power available through the Purified slots, but the big draw of these is increased rewards from specific content types. Who doesn't like more juicy loot?

Divine Gift Basics
Below you can see the interface for Divine Gifts. This is broken down into four sections, one per content type (Helltide/Pit/Undercity/World Bosses) expanded in Season 11. Each type of content has two Essences, giving players the option to pick which to purify and which to corrupt.

The inner Purified slot improves the Essence, doubling its rewards and granting a boon, while the outer Corrupted slot grants the base rewards and additionally makes the associated content more difficult.

Empowering Essences
Essences are how these powerful bonuses will be unlocked in Season 11. Defeating the Lesser Evils in their designated content will unlock the two Divine Gifts associated with them. To upgrade the Divine Gifts, players must return to the content and repeatedly defeat the Lesser Evils and their Minions to earn experience for the given Divine Gifts.

With two Divine Gifts available for each type of content, players will need to choose which to Purify and which to Corrupt. As an example to the above Essence of Pain, the second Helltide/Duriel Divine Gift is the Essence of Squalor:

Essence of Squalor

Rewards: Maggots in Helltide can drop Experience Globes, doubled while Purified.

Rank Upgrades: More Experience Globes drop.

Purified: Refill a Healing Potion every 20 seconds.
Corrupted: Maggots spawn from falling meteors, and all maggot attacks will consume 1 of your Health Potions.

With the Essence of Squalor, players can look forward to more Healing Potions and more Experience while doing Helltides. If Experience is not a concern, the Essence of Pain can be slotted into the inner Purified slot instead, which will grant more Socketables such as Runes and Gems.
