At launch Diablo IV features multiple microtransactions if you want to make your journey a lot easier as well as progress through the battle pass a lot faster. You can check out this Seeking Tech guide to see what these DLC packs for this action role-playing game contain.
What is the Diablo 4 Crypt Hunter Pack?
The Crypt Hunter Pack comes with the following in-game items:
- Liath Icehowl mount
- Beginning’s End dagger skin cosmetic
- Protean Axe weapon skin cosmetic
- 800 Platinum
The Liath Icehowl is a mottled horse that carries trinkets from heroes of the past. Keep in mind that you won’t be able to use this mount until you unlock the ability to ride animals in the campaign.
The Beginning’s End dagger skin is crafted from timber from a baby crib bedpost.
The Protean Axe weapon skin is designed to kill as well as dispose the remains of enemies.
Platinum is the virtual currency in Diablo IV. You will get 800 of these from this downloadable content pack. You can find out more about this later in this article.
In the U.S. region, the Crypt Hunter Pack has a price tag of $6.99. This DLC can’t be shared with other users as you can only use the content on the original account used to make the purchase.
Since your save progression is saved on the server, you should be able to carry this DLC over to another platform thanks to cross-save and cross-progression.
What are the Diablo 4 Platinum DLC Packs?
Diablo IV also comes with multiple Platinum Packs. You can use these in-game virtual currency to do the following:
- Buy cosmetic items from the shop
- Unlock the Premium Battle Pass
- Skip Batter Pass tiers
The following Platinum downloadable content are available:
Diablo IV – 200 Platinum
This DLC comes with 200 Platinum. It is the cheapest option available as it costs $1.99 in USD.
Diablo IV – 500 Platinum
The next cheapest microtransaction in Diablo 4 is the 500 Platinum, which costs $4.99.
Diablo IV – 1000 Platinum
The next tier up is the 1000 Platinum pack, which is priced at $9.99.
Diablo IV – 2800 Platinum: 2500 + 300 Platinum Bonus
If you don’t mind spending more, then you will start saving some cash starting with the 2800 Platinum downloadable content pack. For $24.99, you will get 2500 Platinum to go along with 300 Platinum as a bonus (which is worth around $2.99).
Diablo IV – 5700 Platinum: 5000 + 700 Platinum Bonus
With the 5700 Platinum DLC, you will have to pay $49.99. With that said, you do save a little bit on cash (approximately $6.99) thanks to the additional 700 Platinum as an added bonus.
Diablo IV – 11500 Platinum: 10000 + 1500 Platinum Bonus
The most expensive Diablo 4 microtransaction pack is the 11500 Platinum. While costing $99.99, you will also get 1500 Platinum (worth around $14.99) as an additional bonus.
So, if you don’t mind spending that huge amount, you will actually end up saving some money as opposed to getting to 11500 Platinum by making smaller purchases.
The Platinum Packs are tied to your Blizzard.net account. Therefore, you should be able to carry your Platinum currency across to other platforms thanks to the game’s support for cross-save and cross-progression.
With that said, you won’t be able to share the microtransaction purchases with other players.
