What is the Seasonal Journey?
The Seasonal Journey is a season-based progression system that has players completing various tasks and objectives that will earn them different rewards, such as Favor which advances the battle pass, caches or items and materials, and some legendary aspects.
The Seasonal Journey is divided into seven chapters, each requiring a certain number of tasks to be completed before progressing to the next. Additionally, completing a chapter will net you several bigger rewards. These include a mastery title and the new Scroll of Amnesia, an item that provides a free reset to your skill tree and paragon board.
