Although the launch date for Diablo 2: Resurrected Season 14 has not yet been confirmed, 3.2 PTR, which concluded on April 21st, has made it clear that a significant nerf to Warlock is now a foregone conclusion.

While this measure was implemented with overall game balance in mind, it naturally encourages players to start experimenting with other classes and builds right now, allowing for a smoother and faster ladder start experience once Season 14 officially begins.

With this in mind, we present to your Bone Necromancer Build, specifically how it has been revitalized through the addition of new items, offering you a fresh build option for your future adventures in D2R.

Retrospective of Bone Necromancer Build

In the early days of Diablo 2 Resurrected, Bone Necromancer was an intriguing and unique build; however, as time went on, it gradually fell behind the curve and came to be regarded as one of the weaker options available in the game.

Although the build performed reasonably well in solo play, its efficiency dropped significantly in multiplayer group settings, a decline exacerbated by the subsequent reduction in the potency of Corpse Explosion.

This decline occurred because, in many scenarios, Corpse Explosion ultimately overshadowed the substantial investment made in the bone skill tree, becoming the primary source of damage and causing the build to lose its distinct identity.

Historically, while maintaining the crucial 125% Faster Cast Rate breakpoint, a purely offensive build configuration allowed players to push their Bone Spear skill level as high as 50.

At this level, Bone Spear dealt even more damage than Bone Spirit, establishing itself as the priority primary skill.

This represented the theoretical maximum damage output achievable by the build, as there were no additional buffs, such as curses or auras, available to further amplify magic damage.

Unfortunately, despite this aggressive build configuration, the damage output from Bone skills remained insufficient to effectively handle enemies. Furthermore, the weakened state of Corpse Explosion made efficient mob clearing an extremely difficult task.

Moreover, compared to other damage types, avenues for boosting magic damage in D2R have historically been quite limited. Consequently, the overall power level of Bone Necromancer Build was largely constrained by the base numerical values of its skills.

Fortunately, with the launch of Season 13 and ROTW, several new D2R Runewords were introduced to the game. By combining these with other relevant skills and gear, you have the opportunity to comprehensively enhance your Bone Necromancer Build.

How to craft the new Bone Necromancer Build?

Although the upgraded Bone Necromancer Build introduced here primarily benefits from new items, the skill setup also requires adjustments. We will cover each aspect separately.

Skill tree allocation strategy

First, you need to maximize your core skills; achieving this requires an investment of approximately 103 skill points. Consequently, your Necromancer character should be at least Level 92 and have completed all skill quests.

Furthermore, Bone skills rely heavily on synergies; unlocking their full potential demands a significant investment. If you wish to branch out into other skill trees, proceed with caution, as doing so may diminish the effectiveness of your core bone skills.

At the very least, if you aim to craft a pure Bone Necromancer, it is best to avoid investing insummoning skills, and within the curses tree, invest only a single point in Amplify Damage.

Within the bone skill tree, Bone Spear serves as your primary offensive skill; it is capable of striking multiple targets and deals higher damage than Bone Spirit.

Subsequently, all remaining skill points should be allocated to synergy skills to maximize Bone Spear's damage output. As for Bone Armor, even a single invested point provides effective protection.

This is primarily because the synergies provided by Bone Wall and Bone Prison boost Bone Armor's damage absorption capacity, an effect that becomes even more potent when supplemented by bonuses from your gear.

How to choose your gear and Runewords?

Before equipping any gear, you must first establish your selection criteria and priorities, the most critical of which is increasing your FCR.

Due to Necromancer's class mechanics, the maximum attainable casting speed is capped at 125%. Therefore, you must identify the optimal gear combination that allows you to reach this critical breakpoint while simultaneously maximizing your damage output.

To this end, regarding weapons, you might choose Boneshade paired with White Runeword. The former boosts all your essential skills, while the latter grants you both increased casting speed and additional Necromancer skill bonuses.

When it comes to shields, Darkforce Spawn is undoubtedly the premier choice; it offers a bonus of up to +3 to all skills while also providing FCR attribute that is absolutely essential for a Bone Necromancer.

If you are able to socket Um Rune into this shield to bolster your elemental resistances, it becomes an even more comprehensive and practical piece of equipment.

The choice of armor itself is not particularly critical; the key lies in socketing Enigma Runeword to leverage its Teleport ability for enhanced mobility.

If you do not have exceptionally high demands regarding mobility, Chains of Honor Runeword serves as an excellent alternative. Not only does it provide similar beneficial effects, but it also helps shore up the resistances that Bone Necromancer Build might otherwise lack.

Regarding helmet choices, the new addition, Hellwarden's Will, while appearing to be designed specifically for Warlocks, is actually highly practical for all spellcasters.

Hellwarden's Will is currently one of only two unique helmets in the game that provides FCR bonus. Thanks to its +1 to all skills and reduce enemy magic resistance properties, it can significantly boost your overall damage output.

More importantly, this helmet serves as the ideal vessel for socketing Guardian's Light, a new Colossal Jewel introduced in Season 13, granting you bonuses of +2 to magic damage and further reductions to enemy magic resistance.

As for gloves, the classic Trang-Oul's Claws remains the undisputed champion, holding its top spot thanks to the 20% FCR and cold resistance it provides.

Finally, regarding your amulet choice, you now have a new option: Entropy Locket. This item offers a bonus of up to 10% increased magic damage.

If your base damage output is already sufficiently high, this amulet becomes the superior choice; otherwise, its impact may not be quite as pronounced.

However, specifically within the context of Bone Necromancer Build, Entropy Locket does indeed contribute to a higher overall damage output.

The above serves as a comprehensive guide on how to revamp your Bone Necromancer Build by utilizing the new items and Runewords. If you decide to move on from playing a Warlock later on, this build is absolutely worth your consideration!

Monopoly Go and Monopoly Ever After Go albums tell fairy tales, while the current banner event is Beastly Beauties, clearly representing the famous fairy tale Beauty and the Beast.

Since the racing event has ended and the new digging event has taken its place, the milestone rewards for Beastly Beauties event are no longer banner tokens, but pickaxes. With careful use of the dice, you can potentially earn more dice through the digging event. Let's see how many pickaxe tokens are included in Beastly Beauties event milestones.

Date

Beastly Beauties event lasts for two days, from 1 PM EST on April 28, 2026 to 1 PM EST on April 30, 2026.

Beauty and the Treasures digging event, on the other hand, doesn't end until May 2nd, so you have plenty of time.

How to Progress?

Beastly Beauties banner event has 62 milestones, requiring a total of 46,400 points to unlock them all. You'll need at least 15,000 dice to potentially claim all the rewards.

By simply spending some time rolling the dice and letting your tokens spin around Monopoly Go board, you're bound to make some progress. Since the points are randomly distributed across the board, you've probably noticed some prominent pickup squares. Landing on these squares will earn you 2 points.

If you set a multiplier, say ×50, this pickup square will give you 100 points. However, it's not recommended to set multipliers before every pickup square. It's better to be more targeted. For example, setting a multiplier before the railroad squares will directly provide a significant amount of progress for both Beastly Beauties banner event and tournaments, while also saving you dice.

Beastly Beauties Banner Event Rewards

Beastly Beauties banner event includes a total of 18,205 dice and 199 Pickaxes. Obtaining all rewards requires approximately 15,000+ dice. Achieving all rewards is not cost-effective, considering the element of luck.

Given that milestone rewards generally decrease with age, if you don't have many dice, stopping at milestone 35 is the best option. At this point, you will have obtained all Monopoly Go stickers, 4,180 dice, and 109 Pickaxes. The points required after that will increase dramatically. Even if you have many dice, it is recommended that you only reach a maximum of 48 milestones.

The general rewards for Beastly Beauties banner campaign are as follows:

• 18,205 dice
• 199 Pickaxes
• 2 Green Sticker Packs
