As you complete objectives and open world activities in Diablo 4, not only are you progressing via the usual XP gains, Gold and loot, but also through acquiring Renown.

Each region of DIablo 4’s world has a set of rewards up for grabs by taking part in and completing various activities to earn Renown.

Below you’ll learn how to increase your Renown, as well as the various rewards earned by increasing your Renown within each of the game’s regions.

How to increase your Renown in Diablo 4

As mentioned, you earn Renown by completing various activities in Diablo 4.

These activities include much of the game’s open world and side content, and as you complete these activities, you’ll earn a certain amount of Renown as listed below:

Waypoints - 20 RenownStrongholds - 100 RenownSide Quests - 20 RenownAreas Discovered - 5 RenownSide Dungeons - 30 RenownAltars of Lilith - 10 Renown

Completing each of these activities adds to your total Renown for that particular region, and unlocks rewards as you go – you can track progress towards your current tier via the screen shown in the image below.

To view this tab, simply open up the map and you’ll see a button/key prompt next to a checklist at the top of the screen.

You can only view this screen for a region if you have been to that region however, so you won't be able to see the number of activities per region until you've been there at least once.

Renown rewards and requirements in Diablo 4

Earning Renown within each of these regions of Diablo 4 adds up the points from each activity completion, and when certain thresholds are reached, a selection of rewards are available to acquire.

Through this additional reward track, you’ll unlock various rewards including capacity upgrades for Potions and Obols, as well as bonus Skill and Paragon points to spend – each region has a set of five reward bundles to acquire.

The rewards for each of these regions are the same, and fall into two unlock categories: character-based and realm-based.

The first three tiers of rewards and the key for the two types of rewards.

Character-based rewards will apply to the current character you’re using, whereas the realm-based rewards apply to every character you have on that particular realm.

Below are the rewards you can earn at each Renown tier – character-based rewards are marked with a '1', and realm-based rewards are marked with a '2'.

Keep in mind that the fourth and fifth set of rewards require you to have unlocked World Tier 3 to claim. It should also be noted that whilst the rewards are the same per region, it's possible the required Renown points may differ slightly – from our experience thus far however, they are all the same.

Each time you hit the requirements for one of these tiers, your previously earned points won’t carry across to the next tier – instead, it’ll start from zero again, though you’ll still be able to see your overall total per region on the Renown or map screens.

The total Renown you've earned for a region is shown on its checklist at the top of the screen when viewing that region in the map.

This means after you earn 200 Renown and complete the first tier, to unlock the second tier of rewards, you’ll need to acquire another 300 Renown, then 400 for the third tier, and so on for each subsequent tier of rewards.

Regardless, since it requires completing much of the game’s side content throughout all five regions, beating the campaign and unlocking World Tier 3, it’s safe to say it’s quite the time investment if you're looking to max out each of these Renown ranks and acquire their associated rewards.

Once you’ve earned enough Renown for a tier, you’ll be able to acquire its rewards.

To do this, open up the Renown Screen from the map and click on the 'Claim' button for the completed tier – tiers are marked with a green tick once you’ve completed them and acquired their rewards.

Additionally, once you've passed the threshold for a tier, you’ll then be able to see the required Renown points for the next tier.
