How to get Smoldering Ashes in Diablo 4

In Diablo 4 seasons, Smoldering Ashes are a currency used to buy Season Blessings. These Blessings offer your seasonal characters valuable buffs, including increased XP gain, among a variety of season-specific buffs that rotate. To buy any of these Blessings, you’ll need to earn Smoldering Ashes on the Battle Pass. There are five Blessings available, each with four ranks, and there are exactly 20 Smoldering Ashes available on the Battle Pass. So if you play through the entire Battle Pass, you’ll be able to buy every Season Blessing.

But you won’t be getting any Blessings immediately, because it will take a while to earn all of those Smoldering Ashes. You’ll get your earliest Smoldering Ashes at tier 8 on the Battle Pass, which doesn’t take too much gameplay time, but the last until tier 88, which requires a fairly significant commitment to reach. However, Blizzard removed one significant roadblock on Smoldering Ashes in Season 6, as they now no longer have a level requirement: as soon as you reach the appropriate Battle Pass tier, you’ll be able to use your newly-earned ashes to unlock a blessing immediately.

No matter your gameplay goals, my advice is always to pick the Urn of Aggression Blessing first, as it boosts XP gains and will help you unlock future Season Blessings.

Here are all of the Battle Pass tiers that award Smoldering Ashes:
