During the Lunar Awakening event, running from February 12th through February 26th, you can Activate any Shrine found in Sanctuary and Nahantu to earn 100% multiplicative bonus experience, special Ancestral Favor Reputation, and activate unique powers.

You can redeem your Ancestral Favor Reputation in Ked Bardu in exchange for Ancestral Caches and cosmetic Lunar Renewal-themed rewards.

During Lunar Awakening, all Shrines have been replaced with Lunar Shrines—which bestow a 100% experience bonus when activated—with an updated appearance to honor the year of the horse!

Lunar Shrines are marked with a unique map icon and function similarly to typical Shrines, granting unique effects on top of their regular shrine effects.

Augmented Lunar Shrine Effects:

• Artillery Shrine – Casts have a chance to summon a holy bomb.
• Blast Wave Shrine – Each explosion summons a cluster bombardment.
• Channeling Shrine – Increased attack speed and chance to reset cooldowns.
• Conduit Shrine – Summon frequent, powerful, shocking strikes.
• Greed Shrine – Chance to summon a Treasure Goblin. While the Shrine is active, kills summon a Treasure Goblin.
• Lethal Shrine – Chance to instantly execute a struck monster, causing Fear on surrounding monsters, except bosses.
• Protection Shrine – You reflect all incoming damage. Damage reflected scales with Level and Difficulty.

On top of these powerfully amplified effects, Miserly Spirits spawn immediately when a Lunar Shrine is activated, allowing you to immediately capitalize on the Shrines’ specific gameplay augmentation.

There are 10 Ancestral Favor Reputation Levels in total to earn with rewards such as a Resplendent Spark, and 6 different Lunar-themed cosmetic rewards to unlock.

Once the Ancestral Favor Reputation has been maxed out, players will continue to receive Ancestral Caches for their hard work.
