How the Midwinter Blight works
The Midwinter Blight is set in the Fractured Peaks region of Diablo 4, indicated by the purple marking on the map. Throughout the event, unique blight enemies will emerge in the area, accompanied by special events. These events are not displayed on the map, requiring players to search and discover them.
Three types of enemies drop special resources that can be exchanged for Midwinter Proof, the currency used at the event shop. Blightfiends drop Blighted Fragments, Frigid Husks drop Lost Heirlooms, and the Red-Cloaked Horror drops the Red-Cloaked Trophy. These resources can be exchanged in Kyovashad.
The exchange rates are:
300 Blighted Fragments to 1 Midwinter Proof
30 Lost Heirlooms to 1 Midwinter Proof
Exchange 1 Red-Cloaked Trophy for 1 Midwinter Proof.
In addition to using Midwinter Proof to purchase rewards, there is also a Midwinter Tribute Tier system that advances each time you exchange for Midwinter Proof, with three tiers of rewards available.
Midwinter Tribute Tier rewards:
Tier 1: 10,000 Gold, Greater Midwinter Spoils Cache (contains Armor, Gem Fragments, and Gileon's Brew)
Tier 2: 25,000 Gold, Greater Midwinter Spoils Cache
Tier 3: 50,000 Gold, Greater Midwinter Spoils Cache, Midwinter Ward

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I'm thrilled about the Midwinter Blight event in Diablo 4! The festive spirit and the opportunity to unlock free cosmetic rewards and valuable loot are incredibly exciting. I can't wait to explore the Fractured Peaks region and discover the unique blight enemies and special events. The Midwinter Tribute Tier system adds an extra layer of excitement, as I can progress through the tiers and earn even more rewards.
The variety of exclusive cosmetics available at the event vendor is truly impressive. I'm particularly drawn to the Periapt of the Long Night Moon cosmetic back trophy for the Barbarian and the Zemi of the Long Night Moon cosmetic back trophy for the Druid. These items will allow me to customize my character and stand out from the crowd. The Midwinter Blight event is a fantastic way to celebrate the holiday season and enhance my Diablo 4 experience. I'm grateful to Blizzard for creating such an engaging and rewarding event, and I can't wait to dive into the action and start collecting those Midwinter Proofs!
