Diablo 4 has a new patch out with all sorts of good news for Sanctuary's travelers, including an increase in Glyph XP earned from Nightmare Dungeons and a brand new dungeon that'll let you put your strongest builds to the test.
The patch notes for version 1.2.3, out today, detail exactly how much extra Glyph XP you'll earn based on Nightmare Tier.

Those are significant increases and should go a long way in making more difficult Nightmare dungeons feel more rewarding.

You have to have beaten all of the chapters in Diablo 4's Season of Blood to reach it, and once you do, you'll unlock a recipe to craft a Bloodforged Sigil and spawn the Visceral Channel in Ked Bardu which lets you access the Abattoir.
Once there, you'll have a 10-minute time limit to slay enough baddies to summon the final Bloodseekers. After each tier of the Abattoir of Zir, you'll earn a new recipe to make the next tier's Bloodforged Sigil, and on and on until the end. Once you've cleared the first tier, you'll automatically get the Unique item Glyph: Tears of Blood. Take heed though, Blizzard says this will be "the hardest challenge you've seen in Season of Blood." A top Diablo 4 player reckons "nobody is supposed the finish the final tier," even.
There's also a mighty handy quality-of-life improvement that adds a new 'View Possible Affixes' button, which you can use to preview the full list of potential affixes from the
