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. Season 1 revolves around these hearts, gem-like items that provide legendary-level powers which you can socket into gem slots on jewelry pieces.

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 they all have level requirements. You’ll get your earliest Smoldering Ashes at tier 8 on the Battle Pass, which doesn’t take much gameplay time — but the Ashes also have level requirements that could slow you down a bit. Though Blizzard has reduced the level requirements, there’s still a good chance that you’ll unlock Battle Pass tiers that include Ashes before you’re high enough level to use them. The first are available at level 28, while the last are available at level 88.

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, as well as their level requirements:
