Been using hours upon hours trying to gather and understand the information about the new DLC.
Trying my best to share it in a simple formation here. As the patch notes does not include a lot of information.
There are now 3 versions of the gameClassic
Lord of Destruction Expansion (LOD)
Reign of the Warlock (RotW)
As with Classic were you can convert into Expansion, you can convert to RotW from Expansion, but not the other way around.
All versions can be played independently. However, RotW requires purchasing the new DLC.
D2R + DLC

https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/family/diablo-iiThe game is also available on Steam, where many new achievements have been added.
1. Extras
2. Quality of Life: Loot Filter and Stash Tabs
3. Loot Filter
4. Terror Zones
5. Sunder Charms (reworked)
6. Colossal Ancients (Pinnacle bosses)
7. New Items
8. Master the Chronicle (Holy Grail Counter)
9. Mosaic removed from Ladder Reset, more to come1. Extras- +2 Stash Tabs (you still keep the 3 from the LOD version; they are not shared between versions)
- +2 Character Slots
- Warlock character unlocked
2. Quality of Life: Loot Filter and Stash Tabs- Gems, Runes, Rejuvenation Potions, Keys, Organs, Essences, Tokens, the new Statues, and Shards can all stack up to 99.
More about the Statues and Shards in section 4. Terror Zones
3. Loot Filter- The Loot Filter gives you full control over how items appear, letting you highlight the drops you care about most.
- It affects which items appear when holding the ‘Alt’ key.
- You can create your own filters, share them with friends, or use community-made presets. These filters are simple, flexible, and built directly into the game. PC players can easily share and link filters with others.

4. Terror Zones- Each area now always has a special enchantment applied to all monsters, visible above the area name on the right side of the screen. It rerolls every new game.
- Terror Zones now rotate every 30 minutes instead of every hour.
- In Hell difficulty, a new elite type called Heralds of Terror appears. Each Herald encountered within a game increases in difficulty.
- When an Act Boss becomes terrorized, they can drop one of five statues. Combining these statues unlocks the Pinnacle bosses (Colossal Ancients). More details in section 6.
- New zones have been added, and some existing ones have been combined. I will post the full list separately.
- Shards now drop in Terror Zones. Right‑clicking a shard terrorizes the entire Act for that game.
- Example for Act 1:
5. Sunder Charms (reworked)- The original Sunder Charms still exist, but new versions called “Latent Sunder Charms” have been added. These drop only from Heralds of Terror in TZs.
Latent Sunders always roll with the worst possible negative resistance penalty, but they can now be crafted into significantly stronger charms.
- Each crafted Sunder will roll one option from each of the following categories:
Faster Run/Walk, Faster Hit Recovery, or All Attributes
Life or Mana
Magic Damage Reduced or Damage Reduced
Magic Find or Gold Find
Enemy Resistances or Skill Damage (Bone Break uses Enhanced Damage)
- Crafting recipes:
Flame Rift: Perfect Ruby + Io + Deep WSS
Crack of the Heavens: Perfect Topaz + Fal + Southern WSS
Cold Rupture: Perfect Sapphire + Lum + Eastern WSS
Rotting Fissure: Perfect Emerald + Ko + Northern WSS
Bone Breaker: Perfect Amethyst + Pul + Southern WSS + Northern WSS + Deep WSS
Black Cleft: Perfect Diamond + Mal + Western WSS
WSS refers to the Shards mentioned earlier, dropped in Terror Zones.

https://i.imgur.com/6ZAiOpL.pngAdditionally, Warlock Grand Skillers and a +3 Warlock Torch have been added.8. Master the Chronicle (Holy Grail Counter)- A new feature automatically tracks all Unique items, Set items, and crafted Runewords you obtain.
- When you identify an item, an animation confirms it has been added to your Chronicle tab. You may discard the item afterward if you wish.
- The Chronicle records when and where the item dropped. All players in the game at the time of identification receive credit.
- This means up to 8 players can farm different areas simultaneously and still progress each other's Chronicle entries.
- The Chronicle is account based, not per character.
- You can unlock the following rewards:
All Unique Items: Backlight
All Set Items: Footsteps
All Runewords: Portal
9. Mosaic removed from Ladder Reset, more to come- Mosaic is being removed from ladder and the redesign is coming soon.
Depending on how well the Expansion does, the developers have stated they have a lot more changes prepared to launch including improving underpowered items in the game, adding additional items, and more!
