Vessel of Hatred brings tons of new content to Diablo 4 — between a new Campaign, new Dungeons, the Kurast Undercity, the Dark Citadel raid, and more, players will have more than enough to dig into once the first expansion officially launches.

Tribute Drops — Kurast Undercity

To do so, you'll need Tributes, a new set of items designed to alter the rewards from a successful run. Unlike other similar items, however, you won't just start seeing these as normal loot after a certain level — players must complete the Kurast Undercity questline, starting with The Kurast Undercity before Tributes begin to drop.

This questline can be a bit time-consuming, requiring both exposition from NPCs and actual runs through the Kurast Undercity itself as an
