The Mother's Blessing event runs from 2026-09-30 to 2026-10-07 and grants +35% XP and +35% Gold across all activities. Here's how to maximize both.
Event Mechanics
- Duration: 7 days (Wed to Wed, server reset)
- Bonus: +35% XP and Gold from all kills, including passive Whispers and Helltide
- Stacking: Works multiplicatively with Elixir of Experience and Scroll of Momentum
- Event currency: A new Mother's Favor token drops from Tormented bosses during the event
Best Activities During Mother's Blessing
| Activity | XP/min | Gold/min | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legion Events | ~28,000 | ~50,000 | Both |
| Helltide (chest farming) | ~22,000 | ~95,000 | Gold |
| Nightmare Dungeons (T60+) | ~25,000 | ~42,000 | XP |
| Tree of Whispers | ~18,000 | ~30,000 | Background farming |
| Tormented Bosses | ~15,000 | ~120,000 | Mats + Loot |
Optimal Route
- Start the session with Elixir of Experience II (+20% XP) — buy from Alchemist for 500 gold
- Chain 3 Legion Events back-to-back (spawn every ~25 min)
- Between Legion Events, farm Helltide chests with the Cinders you stockpiled
- Save Tormented Boss summon materials for the last 2 hours — they drop the event currency
- Cash in event currency at the new Mother's Altar in Kyovashad for cosmetics + a guaranteed Ancestral item
Team Play Bonus
Group play during Mother's Blessing is especially powerful:
- Each nearby player grants +15% XP and Gold (up to 4 players, max +60%)
- All bonuses stack with the event bonus
- Effective rate at full 4-man group: +95% XP/Gold over baseline
Event Exclusives You Can Earn
- Mother's Embrace Mount — cosmetic mount with floating candles
- Blessed Title — character title with bonus stats (+1 to all attributes)
- Ancestral Caches — 10 event-currency caches grant a full set of Ancestral gear
Don't Forget
The event ends at server reset on October 7. After that, the XP and Gold bonuses disappear for the rest of the season. Plan your playtime accordingly.
