We covered this Season’s rewards in detail over on this post, but we’ll sum it up here as well. I’d also recommend logging on the character you want to put through Rebirth and taking all of her or his gear off, placing it in the stash to make sure it’s not all lost. They lose all Paragon levels, all gold, all gear in their stash just like any other Seasonal character, so I recommend starting another non-Season character first if you don’t have any alts to make sure all your stash and gold remains intact. The Rebirth system allows you to take an established character and essentially import them into the Season. If you’re feeling disappointed because this means that you won’t be able to play your main through the Season, and you don’t want to roll an alt of the same class - which is what I do every Season, but I’m a little odd and I have like six Barbarians now - you can, in fact, take your main through the Season, but it does mean that your main goes back to level 1. You have what you earn on that character, and that’s it.īut I want to take my main through the Season

You can’t send them any gear, gems, or even let them spend your main character’s gold to level their artisans. It is as if you just bought and installed the game as far as those characters are concerned. Seasons differ in that once you start a Season character that character starts at level 1 with no Paragon levels, none of your purchased stash tabs and none of the gold and gear your non-Season characters have access to. You can play your Season either Hardcore - that means no deaths allowed, you die once and that character is gone - or normal, which is just like the regular Diablo 3 play experience. That’s all you have to do to start a Seasonal Hero - click the box that says “Seasonal Hero” on that screen. When it begins, you’ll be given the option to make a Seasonal Hero on the character creation pane of the game. Season 13 begins Friday, February 23 at 5:00 p.m.

I’ve done a few Seasons now so I feel fairly comfortable talking about the basics of Season Play for folks new to it. Due to the nature of Diablo 3’s Seasons, we have talked about this before, but it’s still worth it to go over the basics for folks new to Season play.
