=== Season 4 Patch 9 (2022-04-01) ===

This was likely the patch that implemented the temporary crafters league - the date is estimated based on this change from a patch during that league on 2022-04-04:

* Rathma is now enabled in single player (was added last patch but not included in patch notes)

 

Other patch changes during the crafters league only applied to the league itself rather than season 4 in general, so they're listed in that category instead.

== Crafters Race League - April 1st 2022 through May 6th 2022 ==

|+ Notes

|-

Since D2r ladders will also be 4 months long, PD2's S5 is being delayed until about halfway through the D2r ladder (D2r ladder scheduled to begin April 28th) in order to stagger the reset dates going forward. Since it's been ~4 months from the beginning of S4 and the next season won't be for a while, this mini-league with a twist will be available to anyone itching for a reset.

 

[https://www.reddit.com/r/ProjectDiablo2/comments/tt4sb8/crafted_league_details_for_april_1st_10am_pst/ Crafters Race League] - will begin April 1st 10am PST, and ends <s>April 22nd</s> May 6th

 

* Rare/craft-focused league without unique/set/runeword items, except unique charms (Annihilus, Hellfire Torch, Gheed's Fortune)

* 200% experience mode in hell mode

* Diablo Clone and Rathma have had their resistances, health, and damage reduced

 

This league will temporarily replace S4 on the live realm - S4 will resume afterward with restored S4 characters. Before S5 begins, S4 characters will be transferred to non-ladder. Race league characters will ''not'' be transferred to non-ladder.

 

===League Patch #1 (2022-04-04)===

* Treasure fallens no longer drop map materials and now drop low runes

* Rathma is now enabled in single player (was added last patch but not included in patch notes)

 

===League Patch #2 (2022-04-10)===

* uber diablo / baal / mephisto resistances reduced to match the reductions rathma and diablo clone received

* lower resist wands now spawn with 80 charges of level 20 lower resist instead of 75 charges of level 4 lower resist

 

===League Extension Announcement (2022-04-19)===
