The Lunar Awakening Event in Diablo 4 is officially live. This time-limited event offers some exclusive cosmetic rewards as well as the ability to gain bonus experience while leveling. This includes both character-level experience and glyph experience. Here is our Diablo 4 Lunar Awakening Event Guide so you can make the most of the event.

How to start the Lunar Awakening Event in Diablo 4
While you can technically access the Lunar Shrines anywhere, you start the actual questline for the event in Ked Bardu. Simply teleport there and look for Ying Yue, who is located at the northern end of Ked Bardu. She will tell you all about the Lunar Shrines, which when activated grant you 50% bonus experience and grants you Ancestral Favor which is reputation for the event.
Keep in mind you can always return to Ying Yue and talk to her to see your current reputation status for the Lunar Awakening event as well.

How to use Lunar Shrines and get bonus exp during Lunar Awakening
First, look on your map for Lunar Shrines as indicated by a purple notification on the top right of the shrine icons. You can find them all over Sanctuary, with some zones giving you a separate Grim Favor Whisper just for activating a Lunar Shrine in that area.
Activating the Lunar Shrine will give you a Lunar Awakening buff. However, you will also get 50% bonus experience for every mob you kill while you have the buff. You’ll also be accruing Ancestral Favor for the Lunar Awakening event with each kill while you have the buff active.
You can then revisit Ying Yue and use your Ancestral Favor to increase your reputation rank and unlock exclusive event rewards.
Just remember that the event ends on February 20, so you will want to make sure you get all the rewards you are trying to get before then as they will not be available after.
