Upgrading Reaver’s Fate Loot
As of Update 12, you can now upgrade named items looted from the raid, “The Reaver’s Fate”. Here’s a simple how to:
- Gather Seals of the Stormreaver by running the raid on elite difficulty.
- Visit the Stormreaver Monument in Gianthold.
- Place the seals and the named items in the Monument to upgrade the named item to a more powerful form.
- You can preview the available upgrades by visiting the Monument and clicking the list interface.
- IMPORTANT: Items looted before U12 do not have the ability on them to be upgraded, and cannot. BUT you can “fix” them by placing them in a Stone of Change. This feature is NOT LIVE YET! but will be in a later hotfix.
Here’s a list of items and what they can be upgraded to:
- Amulet of the Stormreaver gains Protection +5 and Superior Lightning Resistance

- Dreamspitter gains Force Burst
- Gauntlets of Eternity gains Superior Devotion VI, Heal +15, and Repair +15
