Six days, starting with Season 16
Legacy of Terror runs November 13, 5:00 PM PST to November 19, 5:00 PM PST, launching with Ladder Season 16 — and it is open to both Ladder and Non-Ladder players, so nobody needs a fresh ladder character to take part. Blizzard frames it as the launchpad for the Season 16 ladder race, and as part of Diablo’s 30th anniversary.
The Clone, on a schedule
The biggest hunt is on a clock: the Diablo Clone spawns once every six hours, on Hell difficulty only. It is a guaranteed spawn during the event, replacing a Super Unique — no more waiting on the usual server-wide counter.
Terrorized Zones everywhere
After defeating Baal, all areas in Normal, Nightmare and Hell become Terrorized Zones. And every player gets +100% Magic Find and a 15% vendor discount for the whole six days — the farming buffs are the point of the event, and they stack with the ladder reset.
What it means for buyers
The event itself is free for every player, Ladder or not, so there is nothing to buy to get the double Magic Find or the Clone spawns. The ladder reset is the buyer note: a fresh Season 16 character starts from zero, so an account sold as a Season 16 account should show its actual ladder progress — check the ladder standing, not the seller’s word. See the Diablo 2: Resurrected page for the verified sellers listed there.
