DIABLO IV / REGIONAL PROGRESS

Regional Renown, Stronghold, and Altar Guide

Do not reuse old full-clear checklists blindly. Read the live regional progression screen for unclaimed rewards and unlocks, then choose Strongholds, waypoints, dungeons, side quests, or Altars by purpose.

Verified patch: 3.1.15 decision checksExpansion-first
QUICK ANSWER

First inspect claimed, unclaimed, and account-shared progress in the regional screen. Prioritize travel hubs, required dungeons, and feature unlocks; clear Strongholds for world-state changes and follow-up access. Use old Altar or Renown stat lists only where the live UI confirms them.
